I wish the emphasis wasn't on looking younger, but looking your best. The former still sends the message that age is something to run from, not accept.
You can be more healthy and look more youthful at any age, but you can't stop the aging process. Keeping a positive outlook on life and remaining active is the key.
I am so glad you included long hair and some gorgeous long hair looks and tips. I am over 60 and still have longer hair. I have always preferred long hair to short especially here in Florida. I am glad I clicked on this video (I almost didn’t) because so many stylists suggest short dated cuts that require lots of products, bold hair colors that look unnatural and require lots of maintenance rather than a softer more modern look. I am going not for a youthful look, but a modern, natural look. Thank you for sharing these tips
I’m 72 and have a pixie. I get more compliments on my pixie than any other haircuts and most of all I absolutely love it. I do have sagging under my chin and so what. Styling my hair is not a job and it’s stress free.
No, you are not the only one. I have had many haircuts that were short. Looks good in the shop but on Day 2, forget it! I am not clever with styling my hair. I finally stopped coloring it and let it grow. It is SO easy. I like a high ponytail, or an over the shoulder pony, or put it in a bun. I like it and now that its grown out from yet another short mistake, I'm keeping it slightly above my shoulders. That is the easiest ever.
I'm 65 years old, and have long hair for the last 30 years. Fighting short hair advice. :). For the last year, I put the hair in the bun when I was sleeping. In the morning, I got the soft curly hair without killing them with hot curler. Your advice about laying the hair around my face was very promising. Hopefully, My hairdresser would know how to do it. I also love bang. Thanks for this great video ❤️
I am getting ready to,get a pixie cut and I am 65 years old. I was letting my hair grow but no one seems to like it so I am going back to a short hairdo. I really want my pixie to be piecey and I hope the stylist can do that. Thanks for sharing this video. Great timing.
I had my hair cut in a pixie (I'm over 70) and, because my hair is thinning, the shortness on top seemed to exaggerate it! Thank you for your tip on keeping the top longer. I believe that will work for me. My hairdresser is talented but missed the mark on my last cut. I'll be showing her a picture of what I think will be a better look for me. Thank you so much.
Keeping in mind the pictures of "older" women shared in the beginning with long hair are celebrities and actresses who potentially have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery. I'm not saying I disagree but let's be upfront about what we're looking at.
Your information is very good, thank you. That said, I was so hoping that information about cuts for thinning hair would have been included as this is an issue for many of us as we age.
Jamie Lee's pixie is iconic! I can guarantee she does not give a shit what anyone thinks about her hair. Had pixies when I was younger, now it's a shag and I love it.
She probably doesn’t give a shit and she shouldn’t. I was using it as an example of what many of my mature clients don’t like but it doesn’t mean she shouldn’t rock it or doesn’t look damn good doing it. I always think that if you feel good, then do it! This is what I gather from client’s opinions on how they feel but if any of these “don’t” make you feel great, then it’s a do!
I’m too timid to try it but I love Meryl Streep’s hair in the Devil Wears Prada. She doesn’t have perfect symmetrical features and the asymmetrical cut just seems to pull your eye away from the imperfections and balances her features.
I’m completely white haired at 50. Dyeing it every-other-week to keep my roots from showing was a pain. I went from my light brunette to blond but it was still a pain. Went short, white, and spikey and love it! Nothing worse than a woman in her 50’s trying to look like she did in her 20’s. Nobody’s fooled. Unless you have massive surgery on your face like most of the actresses you showed did (Jamie Lee is fab), Jane Fonda admits to her facial work, most women will not look like your models. Why not have a video on aging gracefully?
Angela, I love your comments. I always feel kind of sorry for any woman who worries so much about trying to look younger or even sexy, lol. I love my grays and my shorter hair. I frankly have always thought the beauty industry is first and foremost about making $$$$, and they can't make any money on women like me. When you learn to keep it simple and can cut and style your own hair, you can save a fortune and still look really nice. I could care less about keeping up with the Hollywood crowd.
@@blush-n-bashful4790 Oh please. Karens (read bitches) come in EVERY gender (real women or fake ones), age, size, shape and color and wear their hair all different ways. They can sure enough have the latest celebrity wanna be hairstyle. Lol.
After COVID hit, I FINALLY let my dyed hair go natural...and I LOVE IT! Had to cut my long hair short, and bite the bullet! Now I'm experimenting with different layered medium styles, and your advice is PERFECT!! Thnx so much...Lisa
Oh that is wonderful!!! I LOVE natural hair. I think the dimensions of color are just stunning. Why fight that horrible grow out when you can embrace the beauty of it all? I’m happy for you.
Thanks for posting this video, Gabi! LOVE that you respect, ENJOY speaking with and see value in your older clients as they age! Your parents/grandparents did an AMAZING job raising you to value people and it shows in the joy in YOUR face! Keep on doing what you are doing and just know that your efforts are making women everywhere, feel much better about themselves. 💞
I am glad that you have identified the fact women can still look good with longer hair! Not necessarily really long, but not short. Also, layers are good - but don't they need a lot of upkeep?
Gabi, I grew out the colored hair and now it’s a natural silver. It is now just at my chin and I’m growing it to a longer bob. My face it extremely round and I’m 70. It was so refreshing to hear that I can still have longer hair which will be a first for me. I have always had short hair of some type so I’m venturing into a new phase of my life. I am lucky that I don’t have lots of wrinkles yet but gravity has been with me for a while now. I believe that a softer look is much better for me now and I am so happy that you agree. Much love and keep the styles and advice coming. Now that I found you I can search for more great information on your channel. 🥰
Here's a saddish lesson...in our western (American and UK) life, the idea that being older is a something to be ashamed of from our very first birthday. Yhe words, "HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW?" is where the subliminal msg start...compare this with the Spanish "how many years do you have?" This subliminally says you HAVE something, and the more one HAS, the more lucky or honoured one is. The Chinese and Japanese also ask, "what is your age?" Again no mention of OLD implied. I could go on and on, but the bottomline is, American culture is one that seeks to shame persons for a whole range of things, and age is one such thing.
Yes I remember that time and I HATE THAT. I have BEAUTIFUL clients who are in their 60s with GORGEOUS long hair. Did you see Shelly's hair in the video? She is a goddess. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and we have so much fun customizing it and making changes in the winter, summer and fall. Just because you're older does not mean you have to have short hair. That is ridiculous. All you need to do is add some width so that your face doesn't look dragged down and tired. Add some layers, add some bangs, add some richness in the color (if you choose to color your hair), wear an awesome outfit and you are good to go!
@@GlamGirlGabi I understand why adding width and layers to long hair is necessary. My hair is currently almost classic length (covering the entire bum) and all one length. I plan to donate it in a few months and my goal is to donate as much length as possible and still have hair that falls just below the shoulders. Since my hair is very thick, it takes on a triangle shape when cut shorter and all one length. My stylist wants to cut it that way with no layers simply because layers are maintenance (in that I would have to take the time to style them if I want them to look nice) and I want an easy style that takes no longer than 5 minutes per day. My natural texture is straight with a little bit of a body wave, which becomes more pronounced the shorter I cut my hair. I want something easy, but don’t want triangle hair. My stylist and I also want me to wear my hair down more often (as opposed to constantly in a ponytail or braid), but having a shorter one-length cut makes me want to tie it back since it’s the only way to hide the triangle shape. Having layers would motivate me to take the extra time to style my hair and wear it down, but since I’m not used to doing so, learning proper styling techniques would come with a learning curve. Even after getting it down to a science, I would eventually get tired of the styling, especially if it takes longer than 5 minutes. I totally understand my stylist’s point of view, but feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place (in that I don’t want one-length triangle hair but don’t want to be bothered with styling layers). What should I do?
@@kandacehead9544 If you have long layers, you don't necessarily have to style them if you have only a slight body wave in your hair. Short layers would be a disaster if you don't spend any time on your hair but long layers should be okay. Another great option for you is to get the baseline of the hair point cut so that you free up A LOT of that weight at the bottom. Then you could get a bit of the front done with some face framing layers. That will free up the weight at the bottom and also add an area of interest at the front that should not be too high maintenance.
@@GlamGirlGabi Thanks for your help. What do you mean by “get the baseline of the hair point cut” to remove weight? I’m ok with one-length cuts as long as I avoid the dreaded triangle shape.
I am 58 now and have long strong hair. I usually pick it up and have no bangs since several years. I have been tring to figure out a cut that would make me look a bit more colorful, since right now nothing frames my face... Its just easier with my hectik and busy life. Thank you for this video Gabi, you gave some really good tips and I hope to figure something out! By the way... Please, ignore the negative words some commenters have and keep on doing what you do! I love your channel and all the wonderful tips you have! ❤😊 To anyone having negative comments here....Why don't you just keep on clicking and go somewhere else!! 🙄🤐
Thanks for sharing this Content and debunking the myth that everyone over 50 has to have short hair. However, I think it would’ve been much more helpful to show the hair styles and effects of the hairstyles on women who actually need this information. And not celebrities who have most likely had cosmetic work or at the very least I’d probably spent 2 to 3 hours in hair and make up before those pictures were taken.
Excellent advice. Thanks for taking the time to let me know your thoughts. I will definitely work on that for future videos. Comments like these help me to learn and grow.
@@GlamGirlGabi You’re welcome. I should have added that the tip to not blow dry on the part was exactly what I needed! I have long hair, which I love, but I always feel like it falls flat and pulls my face down. I am definitely going to try that next time I wash my hair.
This Video was Very Helpful . I just wished I would have found it before I went crazy and chopped my hair off. Lol I am 51 and in the last Three years worth my hair chemistry changing it has been a struggle to find a hair style for me. I feel like I am a serial hair style killer. I have gone through more styles but nothing seem to check off all He boxes I want. It also doesn’t help that my hair is very fine and can get frizzy in Humidity, which living in Fl does not help. I think I need to change my hair stylist, it has been a love hate relationship. Some times she gets it and I’m happy but then when I go back for the touch up it’s lie she doesn’t remember what she did last time and something just isn’t right . This last time I went the pixie.. the Hailey Berry style it turned out great ! Middle of summer was perfect, but I go back for trim and I got old lady style 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ So I’m so frustrated. I’m letting it grow out so I can start all over again .. I just wish I could fined someone that could just look at my face .. and hair and give me the hairstyle meant for me!
OMG....I have a stunning white hair color and a short bob. I got an appointment for a pixie cut. I'll delete it tomorrow. You're SO RIGHT! I've to cover a few things and will let my bob grow instead. Thanks for saving my appearance, I'm 75 and still working.
I agree !! I kept my long hair and have been told on many occasions that I look very young for my age so the pixie cut is not for everyone :) especially curly hair people! 🤗
Thanks for the feedback Patsy! I’ve had that suggestion a few times and will definitely take that into account when creating more content. I’ll try to get more and more people on the channel to demonstrate.
I agree. I have two pals with beautiful long hair and they look stunning. I wish I had thick hair but it’s thin and grey. Hey we do the best with what we got ❤
Thank you so much for affirming those of us of a certain age. And thank you also for affirming that many of us look great with long hair at our age. Love your videos and outlook.
I'd love to see examples of these styles on women who aged naturally instead of celebrities who had multiple facelifts. When you show us women who've had work done on their jawlines, necks, and faces, you're not really illustrating how a good haircut can soften those areas.
You saved me, thank you! I was considering just chopping off the majority of my hair, because I can't get the ends in the back to stop looking scraggly and full of blank areas. I've always thought that, because my hair is fine & thin, I needed to keep it short, which is probably true, for the most part. But, how short, especially since my turkey neck & overall wrinkles have become more prominent. Thanks to you, I won't be chopping it all off in desperation.
Love it! I have had long hair all my life and always will… problem is I am 62 and only 40 year olds are interested in me… I am hounded by my older sisters to cut my hair as I am old for long hair… oh well, I will have long hair if I live to 95!!
I have just turned 84 and have had longish hair for years which i find easy to take care of. Had it cut a few months ago and was horrified so now back to longer. I love pixies on other women but they make me look like a floor mop
Great video and just what I needed as a woman of sixty. I love the bob cut and longer lob cuts. A few months ago my hair was 1 length to my shoulders. I went to a place to get a lob with subtle long layers and came with plenty of photos of the style I hoped to achieve. What I ended up with was a shaggy, short layers on top and back of hair, longer layers towards my face hideous mess.....When I tried to style it I looked like a throwback to the 80's!!! Which of course aged me terribly and I've been hiding ever since. I just need to find the right stylist that knows how to do bob or lob. The last one I went to clearly had no idea and when she asked me what a Lob was, I should've realized this hair cut was gonna end badly!
I think you just saved me from getting the Jamie Lee! I want to transition from my dyed red hair to my natural color and I thought I should just cut it all off since I've sported that super short pixie before. BUT, I'm mid 50s now and definitely have some features I'd like to downplay. Thank you!
Well, I liked this video up until she used Jamie Lee Curtis as a “bad” example of a pixie. I absolutely love JLC hair! Her style makes her beautiful! She is one of THE best examples of beautiful aging!
Great idea for adding lift to the top of the head on down for those of us with curly longer hair that just wants to do what it wants. I use hot rollers and can roll it front to back rather than from the sides down. My hair is dry, and I've lost some of it, but it's thick and not noticeable except near my forehead. I have to spend more time on my hair than I used to.
I pull my hair up in an updo to give my face a lift. I don’t wear it tight but a little loose which adds volume and distracts away from the fact that my face is getting droopy. (58 years old)
Interesting! I am 73 and have long wavy hair - again. I am a hair minimalist so whatever I have has to be wash and wear basically. I am debating donating and going all Judi Dench again - but I really cannot decide, it will be a coin toss in the stylists chair next week!
This video is so informative. I have long hair and have been fighting getting it layers for ages. I use to have it that way then got it in my head that i wanted it to get as long as possible til I leave this earth. but realize the best is layers. I love all of your ideas and willl be showing this video to my hair stylist. thanks again. such great info for us ladies who want to keep our hair especially if it is thick and in good condition
I love your channel so much. You have built a really lovely community! At 60 I look best with a super cropped pixie because it takes years off of my tiny face (think Judy Dench). It's all about finding someone who will customize your pixie, make it work with your gray pattern if you are going with your natural color and, of course, how you style it. I never think of my hair as my "crowning glory" but as an accessory to be updated and played with.
I was told by my FORMER stylist to keep my hair very short, she wouldn't even cut a Bob for me, wt...I am now rocking a Bob thanks for demanding self, lol😊I was also told no fringe/bangs I wear my bangs long and love them. Great video, Gabi ❤I say I'm aging gratefully because I'm grateful for each new exciting day I'm blessed with.🎉
I also love long hair on quite a lot of my over 50 clients. But I would love to add to this discussion that frizzy hair ALWAYS ages. To wear it long, no matter the color, the hair CAN"T appear witch-like. I apologize if I sound blunt. Conditioner isn't always the solution, using styling tools properly works wonders
Great timing! Over Covid I've let my hair get fairly long and one length. I know I need layers but I'm just not sure what I want to do and where to go. Love my regular stylist but she just asks what I want--and layers in the past have not been my favourite because she thins it out too much. Thanks for a great video!
Do you have very fine hair Susan? If you have super fine hair what you could do is cut the hair just passed the shoulder, keep the entire back blunt and do face framing throughout the front of the haircut. Then you have softening around the front but thickness throughout the haircut!
I wish all hairdressers had educated suggestions like you do! Most hairdressers don’t offer any ideas b/c it might take too much time; it’s just in and out!
I love your advice! I am 74, I have always had short hair, very fine hair. I have a terrible time trying to get a complementary haircut. I want style but not fuss. I am a sporty type, very outdoorsy so I have tons of wrinkles that I will not touch! I’ve earned every one of them. However I really want a good cut as you have said. My hairdresser works at a high end salon but does my hair out of her home, old friends daughter. I think she works a lot on longer hair. I think she sees me as old so I seem to get the same cut and color. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you for your video, very informative! Judy
There should be different standards for each decade. Old girls dressing in unflattering clothes that are for the young and fit are sad. I saw this remarkable 60ish gal who was really beautiful.and obviously has pride and spends time on her looks but she must not know, she has spider veins on her legs in back! She coulD still wear short if not for that. Opague stockings would do it. I was so dismayed for her. How could she not knoW?
I'm 58. I had long hair and cut it into a pixie 2 yrs ago. It felt great to be short but very quickly as I got used to it short the good feeling went, I'm currently growing it long again and this time will have it layered. It will probably be my last shot at long hair. 😁
I’m 63 and did the very same thing… I had below shoulder length and got pixie two years ago & I loved it but my husband hated it. He would ask me - why do women cut there hair short - do they want to look like a man? I decided to grow it out again… had a bob for a while - it’s now below the shoulder again & I find myself pulling it up or away from my face constantly. Now the gray is really coming in & I think I need to go short so it won’t look so bad growing out… Plus I’m also not wanting to keep up the $130 it cost to get a trim & color every 6-7 weeks. I’m just perplexed as to what to do.
@@Shirley61581 Exactly, the upkeep of a short haircut is way to much. When my grey begins I definitely will go short but after I'm become all grey I will grow it long again. Hair upkeep is expensive, Every visit to hair salon usually costs $188 to $300 I think there is lovely rinses, the blues or links that look great over grey hair. The lady across my road has a beautiful soft pink.
Thanks for your suggestions. One day after Christmas I have an appointment with a new hairstylist. I want a bob with a length until my jaw. Can't wait. Merry Christmas!
Loved your suggestions. I want to look my best, not youthful. Youth was gone a couple decades ago. I'm working with what I have to be the best I can look as an older person.
Very Informational. I am 79 and struggle with my hair because it is thin. So I wear wigs and hair pieces. Your suggestions are helpful as to what style to buy.
I am 65 and want to do whatever I can to look younger -- I don't care how I feel on the inside (which is 17), I want to look in the mirror and not be reminded I'm 65. I so appreciate videos like this that recognize older women exist, but don't want to be reminded that they do.
I feel sorry for you. You don't like yourself very much do ya ? No matter what you do to yourself you'll never be 17 again. Think of others & less on you & you'll grow. Time to leave the merry go round and help others.
@Jade From Bushwick Grow up.... You need a reality check. I'm tellin' it like it is and you can't swallow it. Too bad. We all get old including you. Develope a personality & you'll enjoy life more.. p. s. ... I am relaxed lol. You need to grow some hard skin.
I like the idea that having longer hair CAN make you look younger hair of course DEPENDING on the 💇♀️. I am 57 yrs. ago & I let my hair go gray about a year & half ago, I work in a factory so the cut has to have long layers to keep it out of my way but want a youthful cut .
I really like you and enjoy your videos. By "like you" I also mean I get your thoughts and oppions about getting older, so this is not a criticism of you per se. I just really wish everybody would stop with the "how to look younger" on SoMe... it is frickin RENTLESS and inherently tells women that getting older is not okay and that we are losing value as we age (I'm 57). Seriously, what does society want us to do about it?! Commit suicide? Go sit on an ice flake and drift off to sea? Hide in shame until we die? Also, the constant focus on female beauty for any age group is damaging. Couldn't we just have a language with focus on looking "presentable", "cute", "your best" or something not directly related to being f***able (since that's what being young, slim and 'perfect' really means)? I've never been more competent in my life than now, yet all I get shoved in my face is "look younger". Sorry for the rant, it just really p**ses me off. Happy Easter everybody ✌️😊🐣
I'm 40, my mum is 63 and has had the same hairstyle my whole life! She uses hot rollers, sets and back combs the bangs every morning, it's so 80's it's sad. Over the years she did move away from it from time to time, and I've tried to give her lessons on round brush blow drying to soften her look but she always goes back to the hot rollers. Yes, her hair is fried, but thankfully she has gone fully grey now and isn't colouring anymore. She has baby fine hair (like me), and this is all she knows how to do/ what she is comfortable with, unfortunately it ages her a lot. I'll keep all of your tips in mind for myself :)
Thanks stormy, but we live in different countries, I see her on Skype these days. She has had good hairdressers in the past, they try to talk her out of the outdated style but she just falls back into it. Plus I think my dad likes it.
Hi just found you and love the advise you give…. New sub here xxx I’m in the UK and find it extremely difficult to find a good hairdresser that can actually cut long layers and style hair without using straighteners. Perhaps you could do a vid on how to find a good one and the red flags at consultations that we should be aware of ?
How about older ladies with fine and thinning hair especially on top? Bangs are not an option. Neither is long layers. We all do not have Christie Brinkley hair🤔 But kudos to the ones who do✌
Oh I really enjoyed looking at this video so much. I'm 64 with really good thick hair but all the hairdressers keep saying you have too much hair to be growing. Saddens me I can't find hairdresser who understands me 🍀🇮🇪
Guess i must be doing something right, with my pixie cut and even no makeup, most think i am 40 to 41 lol 😂 Love Jamie Lee Curtis she has aged naturally and always rocked the pixie cut. She also doesnt plaster on the make up Less is more as one gets older, embrace who you are, aging is a gift not attained by many ❤
I’m 64. My hair has always been fine and wavy (frizzy around my forehead). As I’ve aged, my once thick hair has become very thin, especially on top. All the styles have blown out layers which would require a lot of styling and products for me. Just not a option. I’m active! So I’ve settled into the ol’ timey short hairstyle. It’s a old lady classic for a reason!
Thank you very much for all that advice. You are radiant and you explain your profession and all the tricks to rejuvenate with a good haircut. I love it!
Long hair is a sign of youth! The typical short "old woman haircut" ages a woman!! An older woman with long hair looks so much more feminine and youthful than her sisters with the typical granny haircuts. Older women with long hair look beautiful. And if a woman has had long beautiful hair all her life there is no reason to cut it off just because she turns 40, 50 or 60.
I’ve heard it said that bangs or a fringe is a French woman’s facelift! A few years ago now, I stopped colouring my hair (much to my mother’s horror as she coloured her hair until the day she died!) and I’ve been growing it long ever since the beginning of Covid because I couldn’t get a ‘both sides even’ cut while wearing a mask so I gave up having it cut. Now I can hardly wait to get about 4-5 more inches length and I can get long layers and be a platinum grey goddess with long flowing locks. 😂😊
Nice tips, thank you. Also, one of my pet peeves is the many female TV personalities who are well into their 50s/60s who wear super long extensions, it looks silly on most of them. A shoulder length would be so much more attractive and age appropriate.
GABI: WHAT ARE THE BEST HAIRCUT STYLES FOR WOMEN WITH LESS HAIR ON THE CROWN AND TOP OF FOREHEAD.? Might be a another fun video ideas for us your followers 🙏☺️👍
Thankyou.....I feel short hair shouts age, nice to see longer hair. I wear glasses 24 7 and bangs are a total pain for my fine hair. Luckily at 74 no forehead wrinkles.
I'm 52 and salt/pepper gray. Found a hairdresser who can cut curly hair and I'm looking better than I have for 5 years. It's not about looking younger it's about looking good. I have had super short hair over the years and for me it's incredibly frumpy. A hairstyle that goes with the face shape is vital. The "Karen" cut is real.

@@phyllisavellino420 edsdess
Hear hear 👍
I wish the emphasis wasn't on looking younger, but looking your best. The former still sends the message that age is something to run from, not accept.
Thank you for voicing that….anyway, youth is not in your face, it’s in your heart!✌🏼
You can be more healthy and look more youthful at any age, but you can't stop the aging process. Keeping a positive outlook on life and remaining active is the key.
SAME THING, LOOKING YOUR BEST MOST LIKELY MAKES YOU LOOK YOUNG.
I agree. Age should be admired 😊

Thank you 😂 🙌
I am so glad you included long hair and some gorgeous long hair looks and tips. I am over 60 and still have longer hair. I have always preferred long hair to short especially here in Florida. I am glad I clicked on this video (I almost didn’t) because so many stylists suggest short dated cuts that require lots of products, bold hair colors that look unnatural and require lots of maintenance rather than a softer more modern look. I am going not for a youthful look, but a modern, natural look. Thank you for sharing these tips
I’m 72 and have a pixie. I get more compliments on my pixie than any other haircuts and most of all I absolutely love it. I do have sagging under my chin and so what. Styling my hair is not a job and it’s stress free.
Same for me !!
I had short hair before. It was way more work to keep looking nice. Long hair is so much easier to take care of. Am I the only one who feels this way?
No you´re not. Long hair looks so much nicer on a woman and is so easy to take care of.
No, you are not the only one. I have had many haircuts that were short. Looks good in the shop but on Day 2, forget it! I am not clever with styling my hair. I finally stopped coloring it and let it grow. It is SO easy. I like a high ponytail, or an over the shoulder pony, or put it in a bun. I like it and now that its grown out from yet another short mistake, I'm keeping it slightly above my shoulders. That is the easiest ever.
No I totally agree. I have 3 colicky and long hair is the only way for me to manage it. I'm 58 and just cannot bring myself to cut it off
I'm 65 years old, and have long hair for the last 30 years. Fighting short hair advice. :).
For the last year, I put the hair in the bun when I was sleeping. In the morning, I got the soft curly hair without killing them with hot curler.
Your advice about laying the hair around my face was very promising. Hopefully, My hairdresser would know how to do it. I also love bang.
Thanks for this great video ❤️
I think Jamie Lee Curtis looks amazing with her pixie. Yes her wrinkles show a bit but that’s because she hasn’t botoxed them away!
@@marcifinkelsteinzweighaft5524 I think she has more important priorities. 😆
She is so humble and real and looks amazing 🤩😍🤩🤩🤩😍
She needs a change!
I would like to see her pixie updated but I agree that she looks amazing with her short hair!
Yes! Trying to cover your face with your hair just doesn't work.
that pic of jane fonda at 8:54 is a total wig, and shes been pulled more times that christmas taffy.
It's a wig too
Lol😁
I am getting ready to,get a pixie cut and I am 65 years old. I was letting my hair grow but no one seems to like it so I am going back to a short hairdo. I really want my pixie to be piecey and I hope the stylist can do that. Thanks for sharing this video. Great timing.
You'll have to do your part too. Start watching styling videos using products. ...and bring pictures to your stylist.
The very first person who you must like it's only you. Go for it!!!!!!
Need a video for women with truly thinning hair!
I had my hair cut in a pixie (I'm over 70) and, because my hair is thinning, the shortness on top seemed to exaggerate it! Thank you for your tip on keeping the top longer. I believe that will work for me. My hairdresser is talented but missed the mark on my last cut. I'll be showing her a picture of what I think will be a better look for me. Thank you so much.
I find a barber to be excellent on working with thinning hair. They work with dudes hair loss all day every day.
Keeping in mind the pictures of "older" women shared in the beginning with long hair are celebrities and actresses who potentially have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery. I'm not saying I disagree but let's be upfront about what we're looking at.
Wigs
Your information is very good, thank you. That said, I was so hoping that information about cuts for thinning hair would have been included as this is an issue for many of us as we age.
Absolutely agree 👍my hair has always been fine & lacks volume. Aging hasn’t changed that.
Jamie Lee's pixie is iconic! I can guarantee she does not give a shit what anyone thinks about her hair. Had pixies when I was younger, now it's a shag and I love it.
She probably doesn’t give a shit and she shouldn’t. I was using it as an example of what many of my mature clients don’t like but it doesn’t mean she shouldn’t rock it or doesn’t look damn good doing it. I always think that if you feel good, then do it! This is what I gather from client’s opinions on how they feel but if any of these “don’t” make you feel great, then it’s a do!
I got to agree with Glam girl. Its too severe & looks like she gave up
I’m too timid to try it but I love Meryl Streep’s hair in the Devil Wears Prada. She doesn’t have perfect symmetrical features and the asymmetrical cut just seems to pull your eye away from the imperfections and balances her features.
I totally agree with you.
Streep is amazing. Change her hair and she becomes somebody else completely…
For me,58 years, the pixie is fantastic 😍
Same here at 64.
I’m completely white haired at 50. Dyeing it every-other-week to keep my roots from showing was a pain. I went from my light brunette to blond but it was still a pain. Went short, white, and spikey and love it! Nothing worse than a woman in her 50’s trying to look like she did in her 20’s. Nobody’s fooled. Unless you have massive surgery on your face like most of the actresses you showed did (Jamie Lee is fab), Jane Fonda admits to her facial work, most women will not look like your models. Why not have a video on aging gracefully?
I love pixie cuts on older women
Angela, I love your comments. I always feel kind of sorry for any woman who worries so much about trying to look younger or even sexy, lol. I love my grays and my shorter hair. I frankly have always thought the beauty industry is first and foremost about making $$$$, and they can't make any money on women like me. When you learn to keep it simple and can cut and style your own hair, you can save a fortune and still look really nice. I could care less about keeping up with the Hollywood crowd.
I would never cut my hair like that. It's such a "Karen" style.
@@blush-n-bashful4790 Oh please. Karens (read bitches) come in EVERY gender (real women or fake ones), age, size, shape and color and wear their hair all different ways. They can sure enough have the latest celebrity wanna be hairstyle. Lol.
Bravo! 👍
The last two pixies are GREAT!! I love the look, even though you say they're a no-no.
After COVID hit, I FINALLY let my dyed hair go natural...and I LOVE IT! Had to cut my long hair short, and bite the bullet! Now I'm experimenting with different layered medium styles, and your advice is PERFECT!! Thnx so much...Lisa
Oh that is wonderful!!! I LOVE natural hair. I think the dimensions of color are just stunning. Why fight that horrible grow out when you can embrace the beauty of it all? I’m happy for you.
@@GlamGirlGabi .
I have gotten so few compliments on my white hair.
People expect us to do anything to fake being 33 forever. It is just
Rediculous.
@@WillChil466 I get more compliments on my natural grey hair than I ever did when it was dyed.
Thanks for posting this video, Gabi! LOVE that you respect, ENJOY speaking with and see value in your older clients as they age! Your parents/grandparents did an AMAZING job raising you to value people and it shows in the joy in YOUR face!
Keep on doing what you are doing and just know that your efforts are making women everywhere, feel much better about themselves.
💞
In my opinion, shelly needs low lights put in through the middle and top of her hair. It would look much better.
Haircuts for thinning hair over 50 with a round face has been my biggest issue. I'm really restricted for suitable styles
I am glad that you have identified the fact women can still look good with longer hair! Not necessarily really long, but not short. Also, layers are good - but don't they need a lot of upkeep?
Gabi, I grew out the colored hair and now it’s a natural silver. It is now just at my chin and I’m growing it to a longer bob. My face it extremely round and I’m 70. It was so refreshing to hear that I can still have longer hair which will be a first for me. I have always had short hair of some type so I’m venturing into a new phase of my life. I am lucky that I don’t have lots of wrinkles yet but gravity has been with me for a while now. I believe that a softer look is much better for me now and I am so happy that you agree. Much love and keep the styles and advice coming. Now that I found you I can search for more great information on your channel. 🥰
Vicki Bruck by softer hair styles do you mean face framing layers pls?
Vicki: I don't understand why you needed a random stranger person online to give you permission to have longer hair.
Here's a saddish lesson...in our western (American and UK) life, the idea that being older is a something to be ashamed of from our very first birthday. Yhe words, "HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW?" is where the subliminal msg start...compare this with the Spanish "how many years do you have?" This subliminally says you HAVE something, and the more one HAS, the more lucky or honoured one is. The Chinese and Japanese also ask, "what is your age?" Again no mention of OLD implied. I could go on and on, but the bottomline is, American culture is one that seeks to shame persons for a whole range of things, and age is one such thing.
@ Ingrid Mcfarlane - Excellent analogy of how various cultures view aging. Unfortunately you are absolutely correct about America's viewpoint.
When I was young, the requirement was for women my age (57) to cut their hair short. Love that everything goes now😊
Yes I remember that time and I HATE THAT. I have BEAUTIFUL clients who are in their 60s with GORGEOUS long hair. Did you see Shelly's hair in the video? She is a goddess. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and we have so much fun customizing it and making changes in the winter, summer and fall. Just because you're older does not mean you have to have short hair. That is ridiculous. All you need to do is add some width so that your face doesn't look dragged down and tired. Add some layers, add some bangs, add some richness in the color (if you choose to color your hair), wear an awesome outfit and you are good to go!
@@GlamGirlGabi I understand why adding width and layers to long hair is necessary. My hair is currently almost classic length (covering the entire bum) and all one length. I plan to donate it in a few months and my goal is to donate as much length as possible and still have hair that falls just below the shoulders. Since my hair is very thick, it takes on a triangle shape when cut shorter and all one length. My stylist wants to cut it that way with no layers simply because layers are maintenance (in that I would have to take the time to style them if I want them to look nice) and I want an easy style that takes no longer than 5 minutes per day. My natural texture is straight with a little bit of a body wave, which becomes more pronounced the shorter I cut my hair. I want something easy, but don’t want triangle hair. My stylist and I also want me to wear my hair down more often (as opposed to constantly in a ponytail or braid), but having a shorter one-length cut makes me want to tie it back since it’s the only way to hide the triangle shape. Having layers would motivate me to take the extra time to style my hair and wear it down, but since I’m not used to doing so, learning proper styling techniques would come with a learning curve. Even after getting it down to a science, I would eventually get tired of the styling, especially if it takes longer than 5 minutes. I totally understand my stylist’s point of view, but feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place (in that I don’t want one-length triangle hair but don’t want to be bothered with styling layers). What should I do?
@@kandacehead9544 If you have long layers, you don't necessarily have to style them if you have only a slight body wave in your hair. Short layers would be a disaster if you don't spend any time on your hair but long layers should be okay. Another great option for you is to get the baseline of the hair point cut so that you free up A LOT of that weight at the bottom. Then you could get a bit of the front done with some face framing layers. That will free up the weight at the bottom and also add an area of interest at the front that should not be too high maintenance.
@@GlamGirlGabi Thanks for your help. What do you mean by “get the baseline of the hair point cut” to remove weight? I’m ok with one-length cuts as long as I avoid the dreaded triangle shape.
I am 58 now and have long strong hair. I usually pick it up and have no bangs since several years. I have been tring to figure out a cut that would make me look a bit more colorful, since right now nothing frames my face... Its just easier with my hectik and busy life.
Thank you for this video Gabi, you gave some really good tips and I hope to figure something out!
By the way... Please, ignore the negative words some commenters have and keep on doing what you do! I love your channel and all the wonderful tips you have! ❤😊
To anyone having negative comments here....Why don't you just keep on clicking and go somewhere else!! 🙄🤐
Thanks for sharing this Content and debunking the myth that everyone over 50 has to have short hair. However, I think it would’ve been much more helpful to show the hair styles and effects of the hairstyles on women who actually need this information. And not celebrities who have most likely had cosmetic work or at the very least I’d probably spent 2 to 3 hours in hair and make up before those pictures were taken.
Excellent advice. Thanks for taking the time to let me know your thoughts. I will definitely work on that for future videos. Comments like these help me to learn and grow.
@@GlamGirlGabi You’re welcome. I should have added that the tip to not blow dry on the part was exactly what I needed! I have long hair, which I love, but I always feel like it falls flat and pulls my face down. I am definitely going to try that next time I wash my hair.
This Video was Very Helpful . I just wished I would have found it before I went crazy and chopped my hair off. Lol
I am 51 and in the last Three years worth my hair chemistry changing it has been a struggle to find a hair style for me. I feel like I am a serial hair style killer.
I have gone through more styles but nothing seem to check off all He boxes I want. It also doesn’t help that my hair is very fine and can get frizzy in Humidity, which living in Fl does not help. I think I need to change my hair stylist, it has been a love hate relationship. Some times she gets it and I’m happy but then when I go back for the touch up it’s lie she doesn’t remember what she did last time and something just isn’t right . This last time I went the pixie.. the Hailey Berry style it turned out great ! Middle of summer was perfect, but I go back for trim and I got old lady style 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ So I’m so frustrated. I’m letting it grow out so I can start all over again .. I just wish I could fined someone that could just look at my face .. and hair and give me the hairstyle meant for me!
Stop people when you are out and ask them who cuts their hair and if they are taking new clients
OMG....I have a stunning white hair color and a short bob. I got an appointment for a pixie cut. I'll delete it tomorrow. You're SO RIGHT! I've to cover a few things and will let my bob grow instead. Thanks for saving my appearance, I'm 75 and still working.
Love ❤️ your honesty and I am soooo relieved to be able to keep my long hair in my senior years. Thanks for all the great advice
I agree !! I kept my long hair and have been told on many occasions that I look very young for my age so the pixie cut is not for everyone :) especially curly hair people! 🤗
I'd love to see these hair styles on people other than celebrities. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback Patsy! I’ve had that suggestion a few times and will definitely take that into account when creating more content. I’ll try to get more and more people on the channel to demonstrate.
I agree. I have two pals with beautiful long hair and they look stunning. I wish I had thick hair but it’s thin and grey. Hey we do the best with what we got ❤
Thank you so much for affirming those of us of a certain age. And thank you also for affirming that many of us look great with long hair at our age. Love your videos and outlook.
I'd love to see examples of these styles on women who aged naturally instead of celebrities who had multiple facelifts. When you show us women who've had work done on their jawlines, necks, and faces, you're not really illustrating how a good haircut can soften those areas.
You saved me, thank you! I was considering just chopping off the majority of my hair, because I can't get the ends in the back to stop looking scraggly and full of blank areas.
I've always thought that, because my hair is fine & thin, I needed to keep it short, which is probably true, for the most part. But, how short, especially since my turkey neck & overall wrinkles have become more prominent. Thanks to you, I won't be chopping it all off in desperation.
Love it! I have had long hair all my life and always will… problem is I am 62 and only 40 year olds are interested in me…
I am hounded by my older sisters to cut my hair as I am old for long hair… oh well, I will have long hair if I live to 95!!
I have just turned 84 and have had longish hair for years which i find easy to take care of. Had it cut a few months ago and was horrified so now back to longer. I love pixies on other women but they make me look like a floor mop
Great video and just what I needed as a woman of sixty. I love the bob cut and longer lob cuts. A few months ago my hair was 1 length to my shoulders. I went to a place to get a lob with subtle long layers and came with plenty of photos of the style I hoped to achieve.
What I ended up with was a shaggy, short layers on top and back of hair, longer layers towards my face hideous mess.....When I tried to style it I looked like a throwback to the 80's!!! Which of course aged me terribly and I've been hiding ever since.
I just need to find the right stylist that knows how to do bob or lob. The last one I went to clearly had no idea and when she asked me what a Lob was, I should've realized this hair cut was gonna end badly!
Here is the real issue. Finding someone who is creative and talented is tough.
If you're out and see a woman with a great cut, just go up and ask her who her stylist is. Most people are flattered and will tell you.
@@judithryan2958 This is a great idea! Thanks.
Aging is not a curse but a gift you are still alive..better than the alternative 🤗
I think you just saved me from getting the Jamie Lee! I want to transition from my dyed red hair to my natural color and I thought I should just cut it all off since I've sported that super short pixie before. BUT, I'm mid 50s now and definitely have some features I'd like to downplay. Thank you!
Well, I liked this video up until she used Jamie Lee Curtis as a “bad” example of a pixie. I absolutely love JLC hair! Her style makes her beautiful! She is one of THE best examples of beautiful aging!
Well ,Jamie was never a looker but she knows how to promote her individuality.
Exactly! JLC rocks a pixie and owns her greys - and she looks fabulous!
She was not saying it was bad on her she was giving an example of not being able to hide our imperfections.
I know right? But I guess the agenda here is to create the "illusion" of looking like you're young. Won't be watching this channel again.
Yes, I admire Curtis's attitude about aging; unlike so many celebs, she looks natural, not strangely unhuman like so many who have work done.
Jamie Lee Curtis is beautiful. Her hair is beautiful.
Great idea for adding lift to the top of the head on down for those of us with curly longer hair that just wants to do what it wants. I use hot rollers and can roll it front to back rather than from the sides down. My hair is dry, and I've lost some of it, but it's thick and not noticeable except near my forehead. I have to spend more time on my hair than I used to.
I just found your channel, Gabi, and I'm learning a lot with you.
I really enjoy your common sense approach! Thank you for these videos.
I pull my hair up in an updo to give my face a lift. I don’t wear it tight but a little loose which adds volume and distracts away from the fact that my face is getting droopy. (58 years old)
Gabi, you are adorable! Thank you for caring about us older women. 💜
Excellent advice.
I’ve always believed in the power of a good haircut.
Thanks!
Interesting! I am 73 and have long wavy hair - again. I am a hair minimalist so whatever I have has to be wash and wear basically. I am debating donating and going all Judi Dench again - but I really cannot decide, it will be a coin toss in the stylists chair next week!
That was awesome! I love the visuals! I just turned 70 and have shoulder length hair. I want something different and might try bangs again. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the longer look. I love my layer long hair with a wave from and wave iron. It softens my lines in my face.
This video is so informative. I have long hair and have been fighting getting it layers for ages. I use to have it that way then got it in my head that i wanted it to get as long as possible til I leave this earth. but realize the best is layers. I love all of your ideas and willl be showing this video to my hair stylist. thanks again. such great info for us ladies who want to keep our hair especially if it is thick and in good condition
Made me laugh when you mentioned Jamie Curtis. By the standards of someone your age she has a lot of wrinkles. To a 70+ woman she looks good!
I love your channel so much. You have built a really lovely community! At 60 I look best with a super cropped pixie because it takes years off of my tiny face (think Judy Dench). It's all about finding someone who will customize your pixie, make it work with your gray pattern if you are going with your natural color and, of course, how you style it. I never think of my hair as my "crowning glory" but as an accessory to be updated and played with.
I was told by my FORMER stylist to keep my hair very short, she wouldn't even cut a Bob for me, wt...I am now rocking a Bob thanks for demanding self, lol😊I was also told no fringe/bangs I wear my bangs long and love them. Great video, Gabi ❤I say I'm aging gratefully because I'm grateful for each new exciting day I'm blessed with.🎉
I also love long hair on quite a lot of my over 50 clients. But I would love to add to this discussion that frizzy hair ALWAYS ages. To wear it long, no matter the color, the hair CAN"T appear witch-like. I apologize if I sound blunt. Conditioner isn't always the solution, using styling tools properly works wonders
I'm not tooling my hair lady.
Put a cap on for awhile. Tames it down. And do noT wash ev day ,dry on hot or
Go out in rain uncovered.
@Nancy Morris a flatiron
Great timing! Over Covid I've let my hair get fairly long and one length. I know I need layers but I'm just not sure what I want to do and where to go. Love my regular stylist but she just asks what I want--and layers in the past have not been my favourite because she thins it out too much. Thanks for a great video!
Do you have very fine hair Susan? If you have super fine hair what you could do is cut the hair just passed the shoulder, keep the entire back blunt and do face framing throughout the front of the haircut. Then you have softening around the front but thickness throughout the haircut!
@@GlamGirlGabi It's fine but I have quite a bit...but thinning in front. Thanks for the suggestion, sounds good.
I wish all hairdressers had educated suggestions like you do! Most hairdressers don’t offer any ideas b/c it might take too much time; it’s just in and out!
It isn't Covid it is The Wuhan Virus!
I love your advice! I am 74, I have always had short hair, very fine hair. I have a terrible time trying to get a complementary haircut. I want style but not fuss. I am a sporty type, very outdoorsy so I have tons of wrinkles that I will not touch! I’ve earned every one of them. However I really want a good cut as you have said. My hairdresser works at a high end salon but does my hair out of her home, old friends daughter. I think she works a lot on longer hair. I think she sees me as old so I seem to get the same cut and color. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you for your video, very informative! Judy
Why is everyone so obsessed about looking younger???
Exactly and hiding your wrinkles? I love the short pixie on Jamie Lee!
I don't want to look younger but I DO want to look good for my age.
There should be different standards for each decade.
Old girls dressing in unflattering clothes that are for the young and fit are sad.
I saw this remarkable 60ish gal who was really beautiful.and obviously has pride and spends time on her looks but she must not know, she has spider veins on her legs in back! She coulD still wear short if not for that. Opague stockings would do it. I was so dismayed for her.
How could she not knoW?
In USA, people are youth oriented. No respect for elderly.
I'm 58. I had long hair and cut it into a pixie 2 yrs ago. It felt great to be short but very quickly as I got used to it short the good feeling went, I'm currently growing it long again and this time will have it layered. It will probably be my last shot at long hair. 😁
I’m 63 and did the very same thing… I had below shoulder length and got pixie two years ago & I loved it but my husband hated it. He would ask me - why do women cut there hair short - do they want to look like a man? I decided to grow it out again… had a bob for a while - it’s now below the shoulder again & I find myself pulling it up or away from my face constantly. Now the gray is really coming in & I think I need to go short so it won’t look so bad growing out… Plus I’m also not wanting to keep up the $130 it cost to get a trim & color every 6-7 weeks. I’m just perplexed as to what to do.
@@Shirley61581 Exactly, the upkeep of a short haircut is way to much. When my grey begins I definitely will go short but after I'm become all grey I will grow it long again. Hair upkeep is expensive, Every visit to hair salon usually costs $188 to $300 I think there is lovely rinses, the blues or links that look great over grey hair. The lady across my road has a beautiful soft pink.
@@jo-penford I love short hair
I am enjoying seeing the videos you made before I found you on RUclips! They are all great!!
Glad you like them!
THANK YOU for explaining why the layers!!!
Thanks for your suggestions. One day after Christmas I have an appointment with a new hairstylist. I want a bob with a length until my jaw. Can't wait. Merry Christmas!
Loved your suggestions. I want to look my best, not youthful. Youth was gone a couple decades ago. I'm working with what I have to be the best I can look as an older person.
Very good advice! Love the photos used to illustrate. Who doesn't want to look youthful?
Very Informational. I am 79 and struggle with my hair because it is thin. So I wear wigs and hair pieces. Your suggestions are helpful as to what style to buy.
I am 65 and want to do whatever I can to look younger -- I don't care how I feel on the inside (which is 17), I want to look in the mirror and not be reminded I'm 65. I so appreciate videos like this that recognize older women exist, but don't want to be reminded that they do.
I feel sorry for you. You don't like yourself very much do ya ? No matter what you do to yourself you'll never be 17 again. Think of others & less on you & you'll grow. Time to leave the merry go round and help others.
@Jade From Bushwick Grow up.... You need a reality check. I'm tellin' it like it is and you can't swallow it. Too bad. We all get old including you. Develope a personality & you'll enjoy life more.. p. s. ... I am relaxed lol. You need to grow some hard skin.
I like the idea that having longer hair CAN make you look younger hair of course DEPENDING on the 💇♀️. I am 57 yrs. ago & I let my hair go gray about a year & half ago, I work in a factory so the cut has to have long layers to keep it out of my way but want a youthful cut .
I really like you and enjoy your videos. By "like you" I also mean I get your thoughts and oppions about getting older, so this is not a criticism of you per se. I just really wish everybody would stop with the "how to look younger" on SoMe... it is frickin RENTLESS and inherently tells women that getting older is not okay and that we are losing value as we age (I'm 57). Seriously, what does society want us to do about it?! Commit suicide? Go sit on an ice flake and drift off to sea? Hide in shame until we die? Also, the constant focus on female beauty for any age group is damaging. Couldn't we just have a language with focus on looking "presentable", "cute", "your best" or something not directly related to being f***able (since that's what being young, slim and 'perfect' really means)? I've never been more competent in my life than now, yet all I get shoved in my face is "look younger". Sorry for the rant, it just really p**ses me off. Happy Easter everybody ✌️😊🐣
I absolutely agree with this and I am making a video now to talk about your comment. You're totally right and I will explain more in this new video.
@@GlamGirlGabi That's so sweet of you, thank you 😘 Can't wait!
I'm 40, my mum is 63 and has had the same hairstyle my whole life! She uses hot rollers, sets and back combs the bangs every morning, it's so 80's it's sad. Over the years she did move away from it from time to time, and I've tried to give her lessons on round brush blow drying to soften her look but she always goes back to the hot rollers. Yes, her hair is fried, but thankfully she has gone fully grey now and isn't colouring anymore. She has baby fine hair (like me), and this is all she knows how to do/ what she is comfortable with, unfortunately it ages her a lot. I'll keep all of your tips in mind for myself :)
You have to look at mobility and weight of whatever appliance a senior will be holding.
Take her to a pro u had a talk with. Maybe she will listen to him.
Thanks stormy, but we live in different countries, I see her on Skype these days. She has had good hairdressers in the past, they try to talk her out of the outdated style but she just falls back into it. Plus I think my dad likes it.
Hi just found you and love the advise you give…. New sub here xxx I’m in the UK and find it extremely difficult to find a good hairdresser that can actually cut long layers and style hair without using straighteners. Perhaps you could do a vid on how to find a good one and the red flags at consultations that we should be aware of ?
I agree with the comment about the emphasis on looking younger. Just look the best for your age.
Commenting on the ladies you talked about with old-fashioned haircuts ……these styles look very nice
Hi. Yes I love going to the hair salon. Talking to the hairdresser, makes my day. I like watching you video's.🌹♥️
How about older ladies with fine and thinning hair especially on top? Bangs are not an option. Neither is long layers. We all do not have Christie Brinkley hair🤔 But kudos to the ones who do✌
She wears extentions u can bet.
I need this advice too. Always had a pixie, but too much upkeep now. I’ve long hair, thin on sides, thick in back, salt n pepper & it’s looks terrible
Vid was VERY helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Oh I really enjoyed looking at this video so much. I'm 64 with really good thick hair but all the hairdressers keep saying you have too much hair to be growing. Saddens me I can't find hairdresser who understands me 🍀🇮🇪
So this video was very informative. I really like the way you approached it and how ell you explained the different hair cuts and styles. Thank you 😍
Guess i must be doing something right, with my pixie cut and even no makeup, most think i am 40 to 41 lol 😂
Love Jamie Lee Curtis she has aged naturally and always rocked the pixie cut. She also doesnt plaster on the make up
Less is more as one gets older, embrace who you are, aging is a gift not attained by many ❤
love your videos. can you or have you done one on going grey naturally and how to stay current. thanks
I will be 60 soon. I personnally will never get another pixie ever again . I hated it as a kid dont like it adult.
I’m 64. My hair has always been fine and wavy (frizzy around my forehead). As I’ve aged, my once thick hair has become very thin, especially on top. All the styles have blown out layers which would require a lot of styling and products for me. Just not a option. I’m active! So I’ve settled into the ol’ timey short hairstyle. It’s a old lady classic for a reason!
Thanks for mentioning the long hair..its the first time i hear somebody confirming what i have always said. Good video.Thanks
This was an awesome video. Totally makes sense, everything you said. So helpful. Thank you.
You’re welcome Anna! I’m so happy that it was helpful for you ❤️
Thank you very much for all that advice. You are radiant and you explain your profession and all the tricks to rejuvenate with a good haircut. I love it!
Long hair is a sign of youth! The typical short "old woman haircut" ages a woman!! An older woman with long hair looks so much more feminine and youthful than her sisters with the typical granny haircuts.
Older women with long hair look beautiful. And if a woman has had long beautiful hair all her life there is no reason to cut it off just because she turns 40, 50 or 60.
I’ve heard it said that bangs or a fringe is a French woman’s facelift! A few years ago now, I stopped colouring my hair (much to my mother’s horror as she coloured her hair until the day she died!) and I’ve been growing it long ever since the beginning of Covid because I couldn’t get a ‘both sides even’ cut while wearing a mask so I gave up having it cut. Now I can hardly wait to get about 4-5 more inches length and I can get long layers and be a platinum grey goddess with long flowing locks. 😂😊
Not everybody can wear long hair, or has the luxury of have thick hair, to give you volume, where you need it
I am learning so much from your videos (I have been doing so much wrong for so long!) Thank You!
Nice tips, thank you.
Also, one of my pet peeves is the many female TV personalities who are well into their 50s/60s who wear super long extensions, it looks silly on most of them. A shoulder length would be so much more attractive and age appropriate.

Love a pixie. And so many variations of it ❤
Thankyou.....I feel short hair shouts age, nice to see longer hair. I wear glasses 24 7 and bangs are a total pain for my fine hair. Luckily at 74 no forehead wrinkles.
Another great video! Thanks
I'm 52 and salt/pepper gray. Found a hairdresser who can cut curly hair and I'm looking better than I have for 5 years. It's not about looking younger it's about looking good. I have had super short hair over the years and for me it's incredibly frumpy. A hairstyle that goes with the face shape is vital. The "Karen" cut is real.
This was a great video Ill be back to see more as I am 52 never thaught Id be this age and how I use to think 50 was old !!
What is your opinion of the medium- length chopped/ textured/ messy bob for older women? (60s)
Jamie Lee Curtis has a great face and a great pixie. Her face is natural and beautiful.
