Cleanse hair with lukewarm water, Use a satin or silk scarf while sleeping, Rinse hair with diluted apple cider vinegar for shine, Use liitlextraa cooconion hair oil shampoo. This helped for my sister, and she reduced her hair fall with these steps.
This cocoonion hair oil by liitllextra is extremely intelligently made. Its ingredients in the oil are very effective in hair fall control. I have never come across such an amazing oil in my life. My hair have turned so soft and new growth are starting to appear. This oil does not remain in hair after a wash.
This is a good example of how we tell our stylists what we want and why and then they just do whatever they want anyway. I love my hairstylist and even when I don't get exactly what I want it's a really good haircut and color. I would love some words to use when talking to our stylists that will get us closer to what we want. I think sometimes we just don't know how to explain in the proper hair talk that they understand.
Amen! I have even brought photos and still don’t even get remotely close to what I am asking for. It’s to the point where I don’t want to even pay them they didn’t provide the service that I asked for
@@dcwatashi it's really important to choose a photograph that has the same or very similar texture, thickness (type) hair you have. So many people have brought pictures to me that don't and there is no way the same cut will look like the picture on their hair. Also, one must consider how much product the hair model is using to achieve said style and how much work went in to achieving it. There are many factors why your stylist may not give you what you ask for. I had many clients who told me they sat outside the salon and would ask people coming out who did their hair. Find a stylist, give them time to learn your hair and the two of you will find what you like, that works with your hair. Don't give up and good luck!
Yes, words are important too! Same words mean different things to people. I would often get, I want 2 layers. I would explain layering, then ask what was meant by 2 layers. A lot of consultation went on before I would cut their hair because I didn't know what 2 layers meant to them. I always say, it takes us both to get a good hair cut.
@@tommie827 yes I totally understand what you were talking about regarding texture. I still might stop by and visit her so she can see my hair and the picture So I did send her the picture and she said she would have no problem doing that particular cut in regards to her skill set. She has a real funky hairstyle herself so even though I know she didn’t do it just the fact that she’s open to non-traditional hairstyles is what I’m looking for keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@tommie827 well sadly customer service is going down the toilet these days and we will see just how long she takes to talk to me. That one particular photograph I showed the stylus years ago it definitely could’ve been achieved because a couple years later I got a very similar haircut so I could see that my hair was able to get that type of cut but again they are embarrassed to say that they can’t do it and I don’t really think I should pay for a service that I didn’t get Can’t remember what my other comment said but the last haircut I received I specifically said I did not want my hair laying flat against my head and sure enough that’s what I got. And it was too short so even if I used product to bring it off of my head and give some volume it’s still pissed me off that he wasn’t even listening I could tell that his energy wasn’t good
I tried going gray about 4 years ago (I'm 66 now) and caught sight of an "old lady with my jacket" in a department store - it was a mirror!! I went home and coloured my hair! 🤣 Currently I'm 'strawberry blonde' (90% gray - level 5 brown originally) and love it. Please do a "How to Use Toners" video. I'm Team Dionna as well - I prefer the brown hair rather than gray. Thank you both for another great video and the nature background.
Our neighbor across the street had fairly dark brown hair when she moved in. One day I saw a white-haired woman in her front yard and thought, "I wonder if
My experience, this fat short, really old woman, followed me around a store. It was weird. As I came toward checking out area, a mirror less hidden in racks of clothes clearly showed it was me, ugh. I'm still trying to figure grey/white, formerly very dark brown. Makeup ok, maybe just too depressed to figure it out. Hats could be a thing.
I started letting my gray grow in in my late 20s (yep, it began early for me) until overhearing my dad commented on how he can’t tell how old women are when they color their hair. Immediately gave that up and never looked back! More power to the ones who can do it but it’s rare (imo) for a woman to look stunning with gray hair.
I would love to see a video on toners, etc. I agree 100% that her color is to warm and a cooler color would look much better on her. I also believe Gina would look great going grey, but is she looking for that contrast that Nikol has? The dark underneath and more silver on top? I agree on moving the part over and it would help with lifting & volume. I love the smile in the pictures and confidence Gina shows, but when she mentioned makeup and changing it because of going grey (which I have been doing for the last 2 years) changing up her eyeliner and taking those tips from Nikol may also help how she feels about the grey. Gina is a beautiful lady and I am sure she will get to where she wants with her hair taking your tips Justin! This is all my opinion and going grey can be hard because it is not an overnight transition. It takes time.
I’ve embraced my hair grey highlights and took out all my yellow. My hair is now all cool toned and I’m loving it! Purple shampoo and conditioner are my best friends!
When I went gray 10 years ago, I had to completely adjust my makeup colors to keep me from being washed out. I love it when ladies can go naturally gray and pull it off like Nikol Johnson. I would love for you to do a full video on keeping the yellow out of gray hair. I has been a struggle for me. I have switched to a purple shampoo that Niko suggested and it helped. Love these videos so keep them coming.
Finding a stylist who’s good at layering & beveling is a challenge! I love long layers, and my last stylist just took major inches off instead of layering & keeping length. ANYWAYS, thanks for your videos & the focus on women in their summer, fall & winter seasons of life.
I totally hear you there! I found that unfortunately many hair schools don’t focus on cutting techniques as much as being able to pass the state licensing requirements, which is more about sanitation processes. There are a ton of fantastic stylists out there that understand layering exceptionally well, but they do need to be found as it’s not inherently the norm.
I agree. Most of the hairstylist in our area go to one school and they do not know how to layer well. I keep trying different hairstylist end up with bad cut. Then I spend months growing out, cutting my own hair. It gets long enough to try again and I leave the hair salon with very short choppy layers. By the way I love the videos
Justin, I agree with you. I worked in salons and spas for more than 20 years and I believe when we train for, possess and excel in certain skills like what you mentioned, we should "talk them up" in our advertising, coupons, shop newsletters, etc....salons are intimidating to many women and clients are not likely to "interview" operators in front of other operators, looking for specific talents. Especially newbies to the business...they need to understand that they have to work at developing the clientele that they deserve, it isn't easy but it IS very rewarding. Love ur posts
Love your suggestions for the layers and cooler brown tone! I would love to see a video on toners! My hair always pulls warm and I really want a cooler, dark blonde. Thanks for suffering in the heat to produce the view you gave us. 😁
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad you liked the video. I definitely think a video on using toners would be super helpful! It’s totally something that can be done at home and I think very few people realize it! I always appreciate the support you give on my videos, thank you Andra
I think the key is to look OUR best... We admire influencers and celebrities who are highly styled and choose their very best photos. We seek an impossible standard... I think that's why we love Justin's videos. They provide helpful hints for every day women. For me, Gina looks dramatically better with the part moved to the side with the resulting lift and brown hair. There's always time to go gray, but in Gina's case, it's a slam dunk to keep her hair brown. She looks so much younger to me, so I'm on Team Dionna (once again. )WARNING: This is an opinion from a 66-year old with restored red hair! My sisters went gray, but this redhead is staying red to the grave!
I totally hear you! I think that’s one of the biggest points in going gray. More often than not, you can’t just go gray by itself. Makeup needs to change sometimes overall wardrobe style need to change, hairstyle needs to change etc. once all of those work together a chance to look fantastic but they all are pieces of the puzzle for sure.
It is probably not the hair! You really do need to alter clothing and makeup, because of the cooler toned hair. I've been transitioning to gray for a while and follow lots of ladies on IG. I'm always shocked at how gorgeous they look after the transition. Once they figure out makeup and clothing it somehow brightens their faces!
@@jesss2145 Absolutely agree!! If a woman goes gray/silver and has never been one to wear makeup, have an updated style/cut or work on wearing the right colors, then I can see why letting the hair go natural could add to making her look washed out. S many women just don't want to bother.
I like the brown! Some women look fabulous in gray but not many. The complexion has to be just right to make it really work. Not everyone grays beautifully!
I think that the grey on her is nice and with a neckline/color change and makeup modifications she would look rather stunning. Go for it! I have noticed that after I went grey I needed to change my makeup and also I need to be very careful to keep my hair moisturized or the dry frizz can really age me. I wear more lip color now so I don’t look washed out. Your channel is very helpful! Thanks
Did you have to use eyebrow pencil, too? I'm using an ashy blonde eyebrow pencil (taupe) otherwise my eyebrows are too soft and sparse. And I wasn't even a plucker! 😂🙄
If you're interested in going gray, just do it. You get the color that nature thinks you should have. I did it and love it. As for Nikol, her hairstyle bugs me. JMHO. I think it ages her drastically. We can have gray hair and not have to wear a bob. But going gray was soooo freeing.
Kathy O my twin and I decided on our 60th birthday to embrace grey and have no regrets! We also recently went from a Bob Cut to short and it's even better.
Sometimes Nikol’s hair looks great. I think when it ages her is when she makes the bob super voluminous so it almost looks like a wig. The style on her profile photo is not as huge and it looks so beautiful.
You are so right about changing a lot more on you're looks when you're going grey. In my case I went for more vivid colors in my clothes and bronzer and stronger lipstick in my makeup so I wouldn't look to greyish allover. I was lucky with my grey hair, my natural hair color was cool dark brown and my grey hair has that cool steely look. I would like to see more styling video's, how to use different tools for different effects. Thank you for your video's.
I have gone a’ naturale and absolutely love it!!!…I had to change makeup colors, and also got extensions to add length and volume!…I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair, and it is not aging….💜💜💜💜💜
I liked her gray. Being gray myself, I am lucky to not have my color changed to yellow. I am a true salt and pepper “winter cool”. Nikol uses winter color, strong pinks, bright orange and cobalt blues to complement her tones.
Great video! Ive taken your advice so seriously that I now have a modified flapper hairstyle. It’s cut to the nape of my neck, beveled in the back, angled to the front with bangs and a side part, I love it!!! I think always learn something new and it’s so much fun to watch your enthusiasm and interaction with your wife.
I'm currently in my 2nd year transitioning to gray. I follow tons of other ladies on IG and they are always talking about changing clothing and makeup. The tricky part is during all the years you have roots. Roots just don't look great in general. I think it's rare that natural gray washes someone out, but with the wrong makeup and clothing colors, it may not work cohesively. I totally agree with you. I am biased, but agree that she should embrace her natural color! I think Nikol Johnson is gorgeous, but I also think her hair style is very obsolete! 😬 It works great on her, but I don't think many people could pull it off and look modern. I was initially inspired by Sarah Harris from British Vogue and Annika Von Holdt to go gray!
Thanks for the video. I always find them informative and educational. They help me articulate what I want to do with my hair and style to my hairdresser. I’ve bit the bullet and gone grey (thanks to lockdowns) through gradual lightening of my hair and constant cutting of ends. Then, patience. I’m loving my salt and pepper look but noticed that I need to style my bob that is not too harsh. It needs a bit of wave to look “youngish”. I had to change my whole makeup look to add contrast to my face. Best thing? Just playing around. You just know when it’s right when you feel good in your skin.
Moving Gina's part off center was a game changer. It flatters the shape of her face and gives her hair the appearance of more volume. I do agree with you about her color. She could wear the "improved" brown or the gray, as long as she tweaks her makeup and clothing color.
I agree. I have friends in the later part of their life and they still keep that center part. I don't get it. One has long hair and large features. She dyes gher hair blonde and blonde highlights and parts in the middle, wearing her hair straight down. Never changes. In her own words she wants to be eighteen again. In my mind I imagine how just going for a side part and some shaping, layering and a bit of height on top would enhance her much more than what she's doing now.
My hair will probably never go that gorgeous gray; it just looks more desaturated, dishwater as I age. I loved Gina's before haircut hair, the cooler brown, and the gray curveball. I think it's to Gina to choose which gives her confidence, because that's the most attractive part of the beautiful influencer she emulates. Gina -- you rock!!
Just sharing but I had grey roots like Gina's. When I actually grew out my hair it didn't look anything like I thought it would. It's a kind of champagne colour and I really like it. I didn't particularly change my makeup but I did feel more drawn to cooler colours which suit me far better.
Gina, thanks for sharing, you are already a beautiful woman. I too love Nikol. I decided years ago to go gray and have embraced it totally. Remember you can always dye it if you want- isn't that wonderful? Anyway, love the final style with side part and cooler tone. Imagine adjusting makeup to those cooler tones, then dipping into the gray again. What fun and excitement. Keeping your goal of classy and stylish you will always be beautiful, Gina. Thanks. Jason for the great tips and reminders about fullness and optical illusion. (I am using them for a haircut- major style change- I have coming up soon.)
Love these video presentations that you create. I feel like in the aftermath of Covid, no hairdresser is willing to step in with their opinion for fear of alienating a client. You and Chrisopher Hopkins, the Makeover Guy seem to be the only ones who will actually speak their minds. And with that being said, yes, please do a video on toners to remove/reduce that yellow tone in natural gray hair, how to warm it up, or cool it down. Thanks so much for what you do.
Justin, this was fun. Dionna (Diona?) is hysterical. She seems like a barrel of fun! I love when she is in your videos. I follow Nikol and have to say she has a ton of hair. The volumizing techniques she teaches are helpful, but her volume is due to amazing density. Nikol has to tame that density where the rest of us have to create the illusion as you have taught us. Gray isn’t always a striking silver or white, and even changing to cool tone makeup and clothing colors, doesn’t always work well depending on skin tone. My gray is like a dirty manhole cover. 🤣 No matter what I did…my hair color was just boring. I tried to embrace that manhole shade for 5 years and finally reintroduced some color with high and low lights, keeping some of the gray. I feel better and getting compliments once again. Maybe when more of the gray takes over I will like it, or maybe i can have it processed to turn it more white but I fear that would result in a lot of damage.
Please do a video on toning. Also I would love a video on how to go grey? I have medium brown hair and would love over the next 5-10 years to go grey. My hair grows super slow so just stopping coloring and growing is probably not an option..really!
You’re work is impeccable! I agree with you that Gina looks much better brown. Your suggestions was completely on point. Gina is a lovely woman she will be rockin the style & color you suggested. Thank you for your dedication, your wisdom, while sweltering (but beautiful views in the back ground). I am new to your channel, & loved all I have seen and heard in your videos. Im taking your suggestions and putting them into play. Thank you very much. 🍀hk
I have followed Justin’s advice about parting my hair on the side, and I love the way my hair looks now. It’s easier to add volume with a side part. I love this channel!
I've been parting my hair on the right for years and years, largely because my bangs naturally curl toward the left. Rather than fight them, why not just style it that way?
Hello. I always enjoy your videos. I am turning 61 in two months and I've colored and highlighted my hair since my early 30s because I'm very fair and was tired of hearing comments about my "pale" skin. My natural hair was always ash blonde then ash dark brown. I have blue eyes. I always thought if I ever went silver that it would "age" me by washing me out. But, since I've gotten tired of chasing my silver demarcation line that began about four years ago, I've embraced letting it come out. I had silver highlights put in to help with the demarcation. I love it and instead of "washing out into invisibility" it has made my blue eyes just pop! I'm not afraid of showing my age, I never tried to hide silvers because of aging, it was to prevent "disappearing"! I'm very new into my journey but I've been gotten so many compliments. I even had a man at the store do a longer stare at me and very kindly commented, "Your eyes are very pretty!". Now I realize how unnatural a lot of women look when they have artificial color on their heads against their natural skin tone. I'm not saying every woman but some are gripping the dye as if it's what's keeping them "young" and it really isn't. I'm not judging anyone for wanting to keep dyeing, that is their choice, I'm just sharing my pov. It took me about a year of considering letting my hair be itself. And I'm really glad I did. I'm getting pleasantly surprised.
I like the go grey idea,with right makeup and possibly have colours done for her wardrobe ,as hair and skin tone change what colours suit us. Love your videos. Thank you .
Hi Justin, I love your videos. About 3 years ago, I let my hair colour grow out from very dark brown. I am now completely grey, in fact my hair is quite white. It took several years for me to adjust to seeing myself in this startling colour. I didn’t feel like it was me looking back at me from the mirror. I love my grey hair now but it took a while to adjust. The other adjustment was the change in texture that happens when your hair turns grey, it can make styling a challenge. Once again, thanks for all your advice. Dawn
YES! YES! YES!!! Plz do a toner video! I am 53 with very long, fine and dense hair which I have been slowly leaning into more ash coloring lately to blend my gray better but it does wash me out a bit. I have considered going full-on gray but I am nervous about it! Having hair to my lower torso, I am trying to avoid as much damage as possible with color so toners may be my answer!!!!
I decided to go grey, when make-up and haircolor got in a big contrast and my skin looked pale and ill. Off course, i had to get used to see me gray, and i changed some colors of clothing and make-up. Sometimes we think, that coloured hair makes us look younger, but sometimes it's more than obvious, that it is fake! But it is necessary to get the right haircut!!!
Love the cool brown , cut and side part you suggested Justin. I just moved my part back to the side last weekend! I wanted more volume on the top and the center part wasn’t helping! Glad to know I made the right decision! Love your channel and great tips!
You and your wife are adorable! I think Gina would look great with either color and love Nicole's style on her. Also that view definitely doesn't suck! Love, love, love the scenery!
I like brown, this final brown cut. I love the idea of her going grey, but I think the right cut comes first. Wear it for a while, make sure you can style it properly, and nothing about the styling takes too much effort. Once you love the style, then go grey. Whether you grow out grey slowly or color it grey with low and high lights all at once and blend in the natural grey as it appears, I think you will be more satisfied. I hope so! You will look lovely, either way, with your beautiful smile lighting your face.
Great video! Great info. I had no idea that your makeup would have to change if you change your hair color…grey or not…no wonder when I get my hair colored and try a different color, I usually don’t like it. I agree I think the brown style looks more uthful on her, and the layers made a big difference. I would love to learn more about toners and what they do. Thanks again for another good one!
I like the brown, maybe with some highlights and some low lights. You are definitely right makeup and clothing, the colors we choose and the style can make all the difference. Including accessories, like jewelry. Just doing those few little extra things makes all the difference.
I loved the gray on her. When I first went gray it took several months for me to mentally adjust to the look. I would startle myself every time I passed a mirror. 😂. Since that time my hair texture has changed significantly and my hair has thinned. It just doesn’t want to hold a style anymore. 🤷🏼♀️. Now I know why old ladies wore hair nets. …I’ve been tempted. 😜
i love the grey, actually i stopped coloring my hair in 2000 i did blond hilights and left the bottom half a med brown and its now darker with greystrands thru it it so much softer , i love it, i do my makeup lighter now , ( not such a strong liner)and a light lipstick, and a bit less mascara, (i used to wear it very thick)i do like the bob ish look , my hair is fine but only a bit thinner on top and looks like her cut, right now
I actually liked the colour she had in the longer hairstyle, but it's hard to tell without a front shot. I think it might have been a bit red. Would love to see a full video of how not to go yellow or in my case a bit red when covering the grays. Definitely like the style you chose for her and the style you put on her from Nikol. As you mentioned, her hair is lighter, thinner and wavier than Nikols, which should give her more options of how to actually style her hair. That would also be good to see- practical looks eg pinned up in the 100° heat etc. Thanks for all your suggestions and for the beautiful scenery too!
Totally! And that’s a fantastic idea of different style options! I’ll have to think about that a bit more and figure out a way to work that topic into a future video! I appreciate the insight.
It's amazing on how just parting your hair a little off-center makes a big difference. Also, I think the gray could add a little more sophistication to her look.
Great content and discussion guys 😊 I liked your suggestion to make Gina's hair, slightly a cooler brown as it suits her skin tone and looks more youthful on her also the bob, that is shorter, exposed more of her neck, lifting the eye up to her attractive face.
Your visual demos are gold- making so much sense. I’m seeing similar issues happening in my husband’s hair style too. He’s trying to find a stylist to tame his longer style that grew during pandemic and we don’t want to cut it all short since it’s thinning… now we may be able to articulate better what he’s wanting. We need to find you when we visit OR in the fall. Also embracing my “au naturale” gray… actually love it so far. Thank you❣️
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like them. I’m a visual learner myself so visuals are a key for me! I totally hear you with your husband, understanding longer men’s hairstyles is a dying art I feel like.
Love the shorter hair, the browns and the gray and Nicole's hair style was perfect (without all the volume) on her. She has options with her colors, because she looks good as a brunette or with gray. I was hoping for something just a bit wilder, but this has a PG rating, so I guess not. Nice video, Justin. Love it when Dionna pops in!
LOL! I hear ya there, she could definitely go crazier with her style but I wanted to show options that seemed more close to what she's been searching for, if that makes sense.
Justin as always I love the content that you to bring to the screen. Definitely agree that putting that part over to the side is where it's at. I could never part in the center because it would look too flat and I love the volume in the front of my own hair. However I have short hair so to different story cuz I have a lot of texture and cutting and angling. I agree she went gray and changed her makeup up it would look really becoming. Thank you you're always entertaining and honest
I think what makes Nicole look so striking with the gray hair is the contrast between the lightness of her gray hair and the darkness and boldness of her brows. I think this lady looks much more approachable with the brown hair and I think it suits her coloring better. But having said that, I think she needs to do what she wants to do. I do thank you for pointing out that the center part adds width to the sides is that is what I am trying to do as I have a tall forehead that need no additional height. I would love to see a new video with information about cutting the yellow and brass out of the hair. I use purple shampoo but would love to have some tips. Thanks for all you do and I think your wife is so cool. She just adds a happy glow to your videos
I think the cooler brown looks great. If she has a cooler brown base, could she get gray highlights throughout, that would help blend in her roots? Are gray highlights (for blending the natural grays) a thing?
Great question! Tough to answer that for you, however I typically tend to lean to the side of giving some thing a try rather than never knowing. But that’s me and you have to do what makes the most sense for you!
OMG! You are speaking directly to me, i wish you could come to Sydney Australia and fix my new bob cut. I grew my hair to my bra line during covid and gave my hairdresser a great canvas to create for me a new look. I ended up with a triangle bob i hate it and cant seem to style it. 😖
I'm with your wife on this one, actually by quite a bit. If she went brown, but a cooler brown like you said. Your wife made me choke on my coffee when she jumped out behind you the first time, it caught me off guard and I started laughing......and then choking!! 🤣😂 This might be a long shot, but would you ever consider doing a video on which color is which? What I mean is, is ash cool or warm, where does "beige" fall in when your talking brunette (this one comes from beige being an option on eSalon in the dark brunette section when choosing a color), why does dark hair turn that weird orangey/red color after coloring sometimes? Things like that. Or a video on how to choose a hair stylist? I'll check the playlist and see if these already exist. Btw, I love the fact that Gina knows what she wants and is willing to try different things! Much love from AZ ❤️!!
I like the brown version, too! And yes, please do a video about the right way to use toners, especially for these of your viewers, who have not enough of the gray hair to make a great statement, but still want to look stylish. Well, or at least to be OK with their own look :)
Love your videos! I think she should try the gray (natural). Less fuss, no more money on colouring it. Just need a good shampoo that helps to remove the yellowing. A little make up change and you are gorgeous! I would like to see a video on yellowing hair and how to get rid of it please. Thank you and take care!
So true! She wears grey hair SO well! I also love how she shares the idea that grey hair is NOT inherently aging and absolutely an amazing option for people!
Not only does Nikol's color "go" with her, the AMOUNT of hair she has is enviable! Some people may think the bob is "old" but I think the way she sweeps it in different ways is in keeping with her look...to me she has a very elegant look and her hair is an extension of that. Can't really picture her hair thickness and texture in another style except maybe very short and "edgy" ..but then that doesn't seem to fit her persona...hmmm.... I just wish I had a quarter of the thickness her hair has!
I would love ANY and All suggestion on keeping hair from yellowing. I let my hair go gray during COVID. I love the color. I just fight the yellow. So finding a toner would be great.
I would love if you'd do a video about gray hair and toners. I've just let my hair go au natural. I, too, have salt and pepper. Thanks for all of your help!
Can you do a video on using toners? I’ve grown out my coloured blonde hair to grey! But my new hair colour s more of a platinum blonde! Really great huh! But the back of my head is silver to various shades of grey! I have very thin, fine hair that I wear as a shoulder length bob with full bangs. My hair naturally lays the best with this style. I’m athletic and need to be able to wear my hair pulled back. I do use purple shampoo and conditioner which does a great job keeping the yellow in check ( paraben , sulphate free). I like that my hair feels really healthy without colouring! I cut and colour my own hair for many years (I’m 71 yo but look much younger) as I couldn’t get a stylist to style my hair appropriately flattering to my face shape! I always run home to wash and fix my hair!!! I love your videos btw. I’m sorry I’m new to RUclips and can’t figure out how to attach my picture. Lol
Great video and the interaction with your wife is wonderful. I prefer the fuller, side part version of Gina's hair but ... maybe I'm not the best to ask as I have dark purple hair cut into a layered, shoulder length shag (I style it with a lot of volume) - 😄
I think the gray would look great on her and wearing it straight is pretty. She should get volume too since she has wavy hair. It’s just a matter of bending those waves straight but voluminous.
I just allowed my hair to grow grey. I have an huge band of white running down from my crown all the way down the length of the right hand side. And my fringe too is fully grey. The rest is more salt than pepper. It’s down just past my waist and I tend to keep it under control mostly in braids. At 67 I do get a lot of compliments! 😁🤗😁 I love my hair.
Hi Justin, so glad I found you, I love you!! Your wife is gorgeous!! This video described my hair to a tee! I call it the "Christmas tree affect" when my hair gets poofy on the bottom. I would love to see a vid on why my dark brown hair turns orange when I lighten it? I'm currently dark blonde w/blonde highlights, but the dark blonde came out dark red brown. My hair absorbs color, even tho I only put it on the roots & makes it darker. NO colorist I've ever been to seems to understand this, I'm constantly changing stylists because they make my hair too dark and too short. I try to fix it, mess it up,have to get someone else to fix it, then I don't like it, do it myself , mess it up... it's a vicious cycle. Ugh. I'm 54, you would think I would have figured this out by now. Thanks for your cool videos. 🥰
I like your ideas. Especially about the cut. I feel it’s important. Could you give us easy terms to explain to hairstylist please? I like both colors. I actually think she should go more blonde, then grey. Brighter grey highlights if you will. And the salt & pepper could act as low light, or add low lights in a darker grey tone for dimension. I think it would look more polished. And that would make her feel grey hair is more elevated.
Stylists have a tendency to "stamp" out trendy styles such as the overdone diagonal forward. I agree with your styling on your gorgeous model. Not every trend benefits every client. Enjoy your hike 😀
Brown for sure. I too absolutely love Nichol. She has beautiful gray hair. But not everyone should go gray just because they have gray hair under their color.
I loved her gray elegant bob. She just needs to learn some makeup tricks to enhance her fine features. I see her wearing strong colors and her eyes need a pop with the hair color. Yes please more in gray hair tricks and how to transition.
Gina could honestly and easily go either way. However, if like me, she likely does not have the same gray as Nikol. I agree that gray doesn't inherently age a woman, but it does have to be enough gray. I too was inspired by Nikol during covid, and grew out my hair almost completely gray - I got to about 2" at the ends left of color and then, nope! My gray is too evenly dispersed - too salt and peppery and it did age me. I don't have cool, thick, white streaks (like Nikol) or gray patches (like my mom, she has cool, patchy patterns of white and gray in her hair), so I went back to coloring it. Gina is very fortunate to have a lot of hair too - it looks fine, but it looks like a lot! And her skin is beautiful. Double lucky - she can pretty much do either and it will look like herself and great!
Love your videos, Justin. How can I get "interior layers"? I've yet to go to stylist that knows how to do them. I always end up with layers that look choppy and make the hair look wider.
Cleanse hair with lukewarm water, Use a satin or silk scarf while sleeping, Rinse hair with diluted apple cider vinegar for shine, Use liitlextraa cooconion hair oil shampoo. This helped for my sister, and she reduced her hair fall with these steps.
This cocoonion hair oil by liitllextra is extremely intelligently made. Its ingredients in the oil are very effective in hair fall control. I have never come across such an amazing oil in my life. My hair have turned so soft and new growth are starting to appear. This oil does not remain in hair after a wash.
This is a good example of how we tell our stylists what we want and why and then they just do whatever they want anyway. I love my hairstylist and even when I don't get exactly what I want it's a really good haircut and color. I would love some words to use when talking to our stylists that will get us closer to what we want. I think sometimes we just don't know how to explain in the proper hair talk that they understand.
Amen! I have even brought photos and still don’t even get remotely close to what I am asking for. It’s to the point where I don’t want to even pay them they didn’t provide the service that I asked for
@@dcwatashi it's really important to choose a photograph that has the same or very similar texture, thickness (type) hair you have. So many people have brought pictures to me that don't and there is no way the same cut will look like the picture on their hair. Also, one must consider how much product the hair model is using to achieve said style and how much work went in to achieving it. There are many factors why your stylist may not give you what you ask for. I had many clients who told me they sat outside the salon and would ask people coming out who did their hair. Find a stylist, give them time to learn your hair and the two of you will find what you like, that works with your hair. Don't give up and good luck!
Yes, words are important too! Same words mean different things to people. I would often get, I want 2 layers. I would explain layering, then ask what was meant by 2 layers. A lot of consultation went on before I would cut their hair because I didn't know what 2 layers meant to them. I always say, it takes us both to get a good hair cut.
@@tommie827 yes I totally understand what you were talking about regarding texture. I still might stop by and visit her so she can see my hair and the picture
So I did send her the picture and she said she would have no problem doing that particular cut in regards to her skill set.
She has a real funky hairstyle herself so even though I know she didn’t do it just the fact that she’s open to non-traditional hairstyles is what I’m looking for keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@tommie827 well sadly customer service is going down the toilet these days and we will see just how long she takes to talk to me.
That one particular photograph I showed the stylus years ago it definitely could’ve been achieved because a couple years later I got a very similar haircut so I could see that my hair was able to get that type of cut but again they are embarrassed to say that they can’t do it and I don’t really think I should pay for a service that I didn’t get
Can’t remember what my other comment said but the last haircut I received I specifically said I did not want my hair laying flat against my head and sure enough that’s what I got. And it was too short so even if I used product to bring it off of my head and give some volume it’s still pissed me off that he wasn’t even listening
I could tell that his energy wasn’t good
I tried going gray about 4 years ago (I'm 66 now) and caught sight of an "old lady with my jacket" in a department store - it was a mirror!! I went home and coloured my hair! 🤣 Currently I'm 'strawberry blonde' (90% gray - level 5 brown originally) and love it. Please do a "How to Use Toners" video. I'm Team Dionna as well - I prefer the brown hair rather than gray. Thank you both for another great video and the nature background.
Our neighbor across the street had fairly dark brown hair when she moved in. One day I saw a white-haired woman in her front yard and thought, "I wonder if
Suzanne
Totally agree!
My experience, this fat short, really old woman, followed me around a store. It was weird. As I came toward checking out area, a mirror less hidden in racks of clothes clearly showed it was me, ugh. I'm still trying to figure grey/white, formerly very dark brown. Makeup ok, maybe just too depressed to figure it out. Hats could be a thing.
I started letting my gray grow in in my late 20s (yep, it began early for me) until overhearing my dad commented on how he can’t tell how old women are when they color their hair. Immediately gave that up and never looked back! More power to the ones who can do it but it’s rare (imo) for a woman to look stunning with gray hair.
You and your wife are so funny together! I love seeing happy, dynamic couples!! 💕
I like Nikol's hair style on her but with her cooler brown color. Best of both worlds
I would love to see a video on toners, etc. I agree 100% that her color is to warm and a cooler color would look much better on her. I also believe Gina would look great going grey, but is she looking for that contrast that Nikol has? The dark underneath and more silver on top? I agree on moving the part over and it would help with lifting & volume. I love the smile in the pictures and confidence Gina shows, but when she mentioned makeup and changing it because of going grey (which I have been doing for the last 2 years) changing up her eyeliner and taking those tips from Nikol may also help how she feels about the grey. Gina is a beautiful lady and I am sure she will get to where she wants with her hair taking your tips Justin! This is all my opinion and going grey can be hard because it is not an overnight transition. It takes time.
I’ve embraced my hair grey highlights and took out all my yellow. My hair is now all cool toned and I’m loving it! Purple shampoo and conditioner are my best friends!
Awesome! Yes, they are staples for sure!
Me too!
Hello. How often do you use the purple shampoo /conditioner?
When I went gray 10 years ago, I had to completely adjust my makeup colors to keep me from being washed out. I love it when ladies can go naturally gray and pull it off like Nikol Johnson. I would love for you to do a full video on keeping the yellow out of gray hair. I has been a struggle for me. I have switched to a purple shampoo that Niko suggested and it helped. Love these videos so keep them coming.
He has a video on how to get the yellow out of grey hair. I just saw it today! I don’t know the link to it though.
Finding a stylist who’s good at layering & beveling is a challenge! I love long layers, and my last stylist just took major inches off instead of layering & keeping length. ANYWAYS, thanks for your videos & the focus on women in their summer, fall & winter seasons of life.
I totally hear you there! I found that unfortunately many hair schools don’t focus on cutting techniques as much as being able to pass the state licensing requirements, which is more about sanitation processes. There are a ton of fantastic stylists out there that understand layering exceptionally well, but they do need to be found as it’s not inherently the norm.
I agree. Most of the hairstylist in our area go to one school and they do not know how to layer well. I keep trying different hairstylist end up with bad cut. Then I spend months growing out, cutting my own hair. It gets long enough to try again and I leave the hair salon with very short choppy layers. By the way I love the videos
I found someone through my girlfriend and she uses point cutting which works amazing on my thick hair. Finally walk away with a cut I love.
Justin, I agree with you. I worked in salons and spas for more than 20 years and I believe when we train for, possess and excel in certain skills like what you mentioned, we should "talk them up" in our advertising, coupons, shop newsletters, etc....salons are intimidating to many women and clients are not likely to "interview" operators in front of other operators, looking for specific talents. Especially newbies to the business...they need to understand that they have to work at developing the clientele that they deserve, it isn't easy but it IS very rewarding. Love ur posts
ditto like 5 inches despite having a photo in front of her
Love your suggestions for the layers and cooler brown tone! I would love to see a video on toners! My hair always pulls warm and I really want a cooler, dark blonde. Thanks for suffering in the heat to produce the view you gave us. 😁
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad you liked the video. I definitely think a video on using toners would be super helpful! It’s totally something that can be done at home and I think very few people realize it! I always appreciate the support you give on my videos, thank you Andra
I think the key is to look OUR best... We admire influencers and celebrities who are highly styled and choose their very best photos. We seek an impossible standard... I think that's why we love Justin's videos. They provide helpful hints for every day women. For me, Gina looks dramatically better with the part moved to the side with the resulting lift and brown hair. There's always time to go gray, but in Gina's case, it's a slam dunk to keep her hair brown. She looks so much younger to me, so I'm on Team Dionna (once again. )WARNING: This is an opinion from a 66-year old with restored red hair! My sisters went gray, but this redhead is staying red to the grave!
I can't argue with ya there Nancy. You bring some very valid points. Also, I appreciate the kind words....so glad I can help a bit!
Agree ❣️
You go girl! 🥳We rock!!! 👏🤩😎This 70 year old grandma is staying blonde, while my 7 year younger sister let hers go gray!
Gorgeous
Grey hair is for 20-somethings!!! 😂
I like the brown color on her too! Much more youthful. A close friend went "au natural" and I just can't tell her how I think it washes her out.
I totally hear you! I think that’s one of the biggest points in going gray. More often than not, you can’t just go gray by itself. Makeup needs to change sometimes overall wardrobe style need to change, hairstyle needs to change etc. once all of those work together a chance to look fantastic but they all are pieces of the puzzle for sure.
It is probably not the hair! You really do need to alter clothing and makeup, because of the cooler toned hair. I've been transitioning to gray for a while and follow lots of ladies on IG. I'm always shocked at how gorgeous they look after the transition. Once they figure out makeup and clothing it somehow brightens their faces!
@@jesss2145 Absolutely agree!! If a woman goes gray/silver and has never been one to wear makeup, have an updated style/cut or work on wearing the right colors, then I can see why letting the hair go natural could add to making her look washed out. S many women just don't want to bother.
Be a good friend and gently show her helpful, practical tips. She may just need to wear cream blusher ❤
I love both colors on her! Just a change in her lips will make a huge change! She is beautiful!!!
I like the brown! Some women look fabulous in gray but not many. The complexion has to be just right to make it really work. Not everyone grays beautifully!
I like her hair brown with the layering & beveling and the soft waves ... and definitely a side part!
I think that the grey on her is nice and with a neckline/color change and makeup modifications she would look rather stunning. Go for it! I have noticed that after I went grey I needed to change my makeup and also I need to be very careful to keep my hair moisturized or the dry frizz can really age me. I wear more lip color now so I don’t look washed out. Your channel is very helpful! Thanks
Did you have to use eyebrow pencil, too? I'm using an ashy blonde eyebrow pencil (taupe) otherwise my eyebrows are too soft and sparse. And I wasn't even a plucker! 😂🙄
I really like Gina with the grey hair and a little contrast. It looks so nice!
If you're interested in going gray, just do it. You get the color that nature thinks you should have. I did it and love it. As for Nikol, her hairstyle bugs me. JMHO. I think it ages her drastically. We can have gray hair and not have to wear a bob. But going gray was soooo freeing.
Kathy O my twin and I decided on our 60th birthday to embrace grey and have no regrets! We also recently went from a Bob Cut to short and it's even better.
Sometimes Nikol’s hair looks great. I think when it ages her is when she makes the bob super voluminous so it almost looks like a wig. The style on her profile photo is not as huge and it looks so beautiful.
You are so right about changing a lot more on you're looks when you're going grey. In my case I went for more vivid colors in my clothes and bronzer and stronger lipstick in my makeup so I wouldn't look to greyish allover. I was lucky with my grey hair, my natural hair color was cool dark brown and my grey hair has that cool steely look. I would like to see more styling video's, how to use different tools for different effects. Thank you for your video's.
I have gone a’ naturale and absolutely love it!!!…I had to change makeup colors, and also got extensions to add length and volume!…I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair, and it is not aging….💜💜💜💜💜
That is awesome! Love this! And it looks great Linda!
I liked her gray. Being gray myself, I am lucky to not have my color changed to yellow. I am a true salt and pepper “winter cool”. Nikol uses winter color, strong pinks, bright orange and cobalt blues to complement her tones.
Great video! Ive taken your advice so seriously that I now have a modified flapper hairstyle. It’s cut to the nape of my neck, beveled in the back, angled to the front with bangs and a side part, I love it!!! I think always learn something new and it’s so much fun to watch your enthusiasm and interaction with your wife.
I'm currently in my 2nd year transitioning to gray. I follow tons of other ladies on IG and they are always talking about changing clothing and makeup. The tricky part is during all the years you have roots. Roots just don't look great in general. I think it's rare that natural gray washes someone out, but with the wrong makeup and clothing colors, it may not work cohesively. I totally agree with you. I am biased, but agree that she should embrace her natural color!
I think Nikol Johnson is gorgeous, but I also think her hair style is very obsolete! 😬 It works great on her, but I don't think many people could pull it off and look modern.
I was initially inspired by Sarah Harris from British Vogue and Annika Von Holdt to go gray!
Thanks for the video. I always find them informative and educational. They help me articulate what I want to do with my hair and style to my hairdresser. I’ve bit the bullet and gone grey (thanks to lockdowns) through gradual lightening of my hair and constant cutting of ends. Then, patience. I’m loving my salt and pepper look but noticed that I need to style my bob that is not too harsh. It needs a bit of wave to look “youngish”. I had to change my whole makeup look to add contrast to my face. Best thing? Just playing around. You just know when it’s right when you feel good in your skin.
Bravo to you👏👏👏. I'm also going silver, no more dye, and I'm really excited because it's time for fun new colors in makeup and clothing!!
Moving Gina's part off center was a game changer. It flatters the shape of her face and gives her hair the appearance of more volume. I do agree with you about her color. She could wear the "improved" brown or the gray, as long as she tweaks her makeup and clothing color.
Spot on! It’s amazing how much of a difference that one of those shift made in the overall appearance right! And I totally agree regarding the color.
I agree. I have friends in the later part of their life and they still keep that center part. I don't get it. One has long hair and large features. She dyes gher hair blonde and blonde highlights and parts in the middle, wearing her hair straight down. Never changes. In her own words she wants to be eighteen again. In my mind I imagine how just going for a side part and some shaping, layering and a bit of height on top would enhance her much more than what she's doing now.
My hair will probably never go that gorgeous gray; it just looks more desaturated, dishwater as I age. I loved Gina's before haircut hair, the cooler brown, and the gray curveball. I think it's to Gina to choose which gives her confidence, because that's the most attractive part of the beautiful influencer she emulates. Gina -- you rock!!
Loved the cooler toned brown! That cut looks great on her.
Just sharing but I had grey roots like Gina's. When I actually grew out my hair it didn't look anything like I thought it would. It's a kind of champagne colour and I really like it. I didn't particularly change my makeup but I did feel more drawn to cooler colours which suit me far better.
Gina, thanks for sharing, you are already a beautiful woman. I too love Nikol. I decided years ago to go gray and have embraced it totally. Remember you can always dye it if you want- isn't that wonderful? Anyway, love the final style with side part and cooler tone. Imagine adjusting makeup to those cooler tones, then dipping into the gray again. What fun and excitement. Keeping your goal of classy and stylish you will always be beautiful, Gina. Thanks. Jason for the great tips and reminders about fullness and optical illusion. (I am using them for a haircut- major style change- I have coming up soon.)
Yes, the video about the tonners would be great. The brassy tone of my color is annoying. Thank you
Love these video presentations that you create. I feel like in the aftermath of Covid, no hairdresser is willing to step in with their opinion for fear of alienating a client. You and Chrisopher Hopkins, the Makeover Guy seem to be the only ones who will actually speak their minds. And with that being said, yes, please do a video on toners to remove/reduce that yellow tone in natural gray hair, how to warm it up, or cool it down. Thanks so much for what you do.
Justin, this was fun. Dionna (Diona?) is hysterical. She seems like a barrel of fun! I love when she is in your videos. I follow Nikol and have to say she has a ton of hair. The volumizing techniques she teaches are helpful, but her volume is due to amazing density. Nikol has to tame that density where the rest of us have to create the illusion as you have taught us. Gray isn’t always a striking silver or white, and even changing to cool tone makeup and clothing colors, doesn’t always work well depending on skin tone. My gray is like a dirty manhole cover. 🤣 No matter what I did…my hair color was just boring. I tried to embrace that manhole shade for 5 years and finally reintroduced some color with high and low lights, keeping some of the gray. I feel better and getting compliments once again. Maybe when more of the gray takes over I will like it, or maybe i can have it processed to turn it more white but I fear that would result in a lot of damage.
Please do a video on toning. Also I would love a video on how to go grey? I have medium brown hair and would love over the next 5-10 years to go grey. My hair grows super slow so just stopping coloring and growing is probably not an option..really!
You’re work is impeccable! I agree with you that Gina looks much better brown. Your suggestions was completely on point. Gina is a lovely woman she will be rockin the style & color you suggested. Thank you for your dedication, your wisdom, while sweltering (but beautiful views in the back ground).
I am new to your channel, & loved all I have seen and heard in your videos. Im taking your suggestions and putting them into play. Thank you very much. 🍀hk
I have followed Justin’s advice about parting my hair on the side, and I love the way my hair looks now. It’s easier to add volume with a side part. I love this channel!
I've been parting my hair on the right for years and years, largely because my bangs naturally curl toward the left. Rather than fight them, why not just style it that way?
My new stylist parted my hair on the right before cutting my long hair and wow it really made a new good look for me.
Hello. I always enjoy your videos. I am turning 61 in two months and I've colored and highlighted my hair since my early 30s because I'm very fair and was tired of hearing comments about my "pale" skin. My natural hair was always ash blonde then ash dark brown. I have blue eyes. I always thought if I ever went silver that it would "age" me by washing me out. But, since I've gotten tired of chasing my silver demarcation line that began about four years ago, I've embraced letting it come out. I had silver highlights put in to help with the demarcation. I love it and instead of "washing out into invisibility" it has made my blue eyes just pop! I'm not afraid of showing my age, I never tried to hide silvers because of aging, it was to prevent "disappearing"! I'm very new into my journey but I've been gotten so many compliments. I even had a man at the store do a longer stare at me and very kindly commented, "Your eyes are very pretty!".
Now I realize how unnatural a lot of women look when they have artificial color on their heads against their natural skin tone. I'm not saying every woman but some are gripping the dye as if it's what's keeping them "young" and it really isn't. I'm not judging anyone for wanting to keep dyeing, that is their choice, I'm just sharing my pov. It took me about a year of considering letting my hair be itself. And I'm really glad I did. I'm getting pleasantly surprised.
I prefer the brown bob. I think it looks alot more youthful.
I like the go grey idea,with right makeup and possibly have colours done for her wardrobe ,as hair and skin tone change what colours suit us. Love your videos. Thank you .
I liked it best at the beginning before the cut, but with maybe a cooler toned color.
Hi Justin, I love your videos. About 3 years ago, I let my hair colour grow out from very dark brown. I am now completely grey, in fact my hair is quite white. It took several years for me to adjust to seeing myself in this startling colour. I didn’t feel like it was me looking back at me from the mirror. I love my grey hair now but it took a while to adjust. The other adjustment was the change in texture that happens when your hair turns grey, it can make styling a challenge. Once again, thanks for all your advice. Dawn
I like it brown but agree with the styling tips you offered. You are fun to watch...and helpful.
I like the brown, it’s just more sunshiny with her skin tone.
Would love to learn about toning!
YES! YES! YES!!! Plz do a toner video! I am 53 with very long, fine and dense hair which I have been slowly leaning into more ash coloring lately to blend my gray better but it does wash me out a bit. I have considered going full-on gray but I am nervous about it! Having hair to my lower torso, I am trying to avoid as much damage as possible with color so toners may be my answer!!!!
I decided to go grey, when make-up and haircolor got in a big contrast and my skin looked pale and ill. Off course, i had to get used to see me gray, and i changed some colors of clothing and make-up. Sometimes we think, that coloured hair makes us look younger, but sometimes it's more than obvious, that it is fake! But it is necessary to get the right haircut!!!
You're spot on. There are a lot of factors at play!
Love the cool brown , cut and side part you suggested Justin. I just moved my part back to the side last weekend! I wanted more volume on the top and the center part wasn’t helping! Glad to know I made the right decision! Love your channel and great tips!
You and your wife are adorable! I think Gina would look great with either color and love Nicole's style on her. Also that view definitely doesn't suck! Love, love, love the scenery!
I like brown, this final brown cut. I love the idea of her going grey, but I think the right cut comes first. Wear it for a while, make sure you can style it properly, and nothing about the styling takes too much effort. Once you love the style, then go grey. Whether you grow out grey slowly or color it grey with low and high lights all at once and blend in the natural grey as it appears, I think you will be more satisfied. I hope so! You will look lovely, either way, with your beautiful smile lighting your face.
Great video! Great info. I had no idea that your makeup would have to change if you change your hair color…grey or not…no wonder when I get my hair colored and try a different color, I usually don’t like it. I agree I think the brown style looks more uthful on her, and the layers made a big difference. I would love to learn more about toners and what they do. Thanks again for another good one!
I would love to see a video on toners! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
You're so welcome Lisa! Glad I could help. I think that video would be super helpful as well!
I like the brown, maybe with some highlights and some low lights. You are definitely right makeup and clothing, the colors we choose and the style can make all the difference. Including accessories, like jewelry. Just doing those few little extra things makes all the difference.
I loved the gray on her. When I first went gray it took several months for me to mentally adjust to the look. I would startle myself every time I passed a mirror. 😂.
Since that time my hair texture has changed significantly and my hair has thinned. It just doesn’t want to hold a style anymore. 🤷🏼♀️.
Now I know why old ladies wore hair nets. …I’ve been tempted. 😜
Noooo!!! Not the hair nets !!! 😳😱😱😱
i love the grey, actually i stopped coloring my hair in 2000 i did blond hilights and left the bottom half a med brown and its now darker with greystrands thru it it so much softer , i love it, i do my makeup lighter now , ( not such a strong liner)and a light lipstick, and a bit less mascara, (i used to wear it very thick)i do like the bob ish look , my hair is fine but only a bit thinner on top and looks like her cut, right now
I actually liked the colour she had in the longer hairstyle, but it's hard to tell without a front shot. I think it might have been a bit red. Would love to see a full video of how not to go yellow or in my case a bit red when covering the grays. Definitely like the style you chose for her and the style you put on her from Nikol. As you mentioned, her hair is lighter, thinner and wavier than Nikols, which should give her more options of how to actually style her hair. That would also be good to see- practical looks eg pinned up in the 100° heat etc. Thanks for all your suggestions and for the beautiful scenery too!
Totally! And that’s a fantastic idea of different style options! I’ll have to think about that a bit more and figure out a way to work that topic into a future video! I appreciate the insight.
It's amazing on how just parting your hair a little off-center makes a big difference. Also, I think the gray could add a little more sophistication to her look.
I agree! And yes, it's crazy right!
Great content and discussion guys 😊
I liked your suggestion to make Gina's hair, slightly a cooler brown as it suits her skin tone and looks more youthful on her also the bob, that is shorter, exposed more of her neck, lifting the eye up to her attractive face.
Your visual demos are gold- making so much sense. I’m seeing similar issues happening in my husband’s hair style too. He’s trying to find a stylist to tame his longer style that grew during pandemic and we don’t want to cut it all short since it’s thinning… now we may be able to articulate better what he’s wanting. We need to find you when we visit OR in the fall. Also embracing my “au naturale” gray… actually love it so far. Thank you❣️
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like them. I’m a visual learner myself so visuals are a key for me! I totally hear you with your husband, understanding longer men’s hairstyles is a dying art I feel like.
@@justinhickox thanks! Layers is where we need to begin … feeling inspired
Love the shorter hair, the browns and the gray and Nicole's hair style was perfect (without all the volume) on her. She has options with her colors, because she looks good as a brunette or with gray. I was hoping for something just a bit wilder, but this has a PG rating, so I guess not. Nice video, Justin. Love it when Dionna pops in!
LOL! I hear ya there, she could definitely go crazier with her style but I wanted to show options that seemed more close to what she's been searching for, if that makes sense.
@@justinhickox You always make sense, which is pretty unusual for a man. 💕
Justin as always I love the content that you to bring to the screen. Definitely agree that putting that part over to the side is where it's at. I could never part in the center because it would look too flat and I love the volume in the front of my own hair. However I have short hair so to different story cuz I have a lot of texture and cutting and angling. I agree she went gray and changed her makeup up it would look really becoming. Thank you you're always entertaining and honest
Love the fresh approach & the open forum Justin! Your bride is a great team mate...
I seriously would fly into your salon, well not fly into it, but fly out to you location for a before and after!!
I think what makes Nicole look so striking with the gray hair is the contrast between the lightness of her gray hair and the darkness and boldness of her brows. I think this lady looks much more approachable with the brown hair and I think it suits her coloring better. But having said that, I think she needs to do what she wants to do. I do thank you for pointing out that the center part adds width to the sides is that is what I am trying to do as I have a tall forehead that need no additional height. I would love to see a new video with information about cutting the yellow and brass out of the hair. I use purple shampoo but would love to have some tips. Thanks for all you do and I think your wife is so cool. She just adds a happy glow to your videos
I think the cooler brown looks great. If she has a cooler brown base, could she get gray highlights throughout, that would help blend in her roots? Are gray highlights (for blending the natural grays) a thing?
You’re amazing Justin. Please don’t put yourself down! You’re wife is beautiful too, so is your mom!
Gina is beautiful, more volume looks awesome, and I think she can carry off grey hair, 100 percent!!!!!.great video, Justin!!!!..and Dionna!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
I think so too! Thank you!
I am at that stage also, trying to decide to go grey. Worried about the changes in makeup and clothing colors and if it is worth the hassle.
Great question! Tough to answer that for you, however I typically tend to lean to the side of giving some thing a try rather than never knowing. But that’s me and you have to do what makes the most sense for you!
Oh my! Huge improvement for her! Great job!
Yes! Thank you!
OMG! You are speaking directly to me, i wish you could come to Sydney Australia and fix my new bob cut. I grew my hair to my bra line during covid and gave my hairdresser a great canvas to create for me a new look. I ended up with a triangle bob i hate it and cant seem to style it. 😖
I'm with your wife on this one, actually by quite a bit. If she went brown, but a cooler brown like you said. Your wife made me choke on my coffee when she jumped out behind you the first time, it caught me off guard and I started laughing......and then choking!! 🤣😂
This might be a long shot, but would you ever consider doing a video on which color is which? What I mean is, is ash cool or warm, where does "beige" fall in when your talking brunette (this one comes from beige being an option on eSalon in the dark brunette section when choosing a color), why does dark hair turn that weird orangey/red color after coloring sometimes? Things like that. Or a video on how to choose a hair stylist?
I'll check the playlist and see if these already exist.
Btw, I love the fact that Gina knows what she wants and is willing to try different things!
Much love from AZ ❤️!!
Yes please do a video on toners for gray hair.
I like the brown version, too!
And yes, please do a video about the right way to use toners, especially for these of your viewers, who have not enough of the gray hair to make a great statement, but still want to look stylish.
Well, or at least to be OK with their own look :)
Love your videos! I think she should try the gray (natural). Less fuss, no more money on colouring it. Just need a good shampoo that helps to remove the yellowing. A little make up change and you are gorgeous! I would like to see a video on yellowing hair and how to get rid of it please. Thank you and take care!
I have followed Nikol and love her channel!…her grey is absolutely stunning!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
So true! She wears grey hair SO well! I also love how she shares the idea that grey hair is NOT inherently aging and absolutely an amazing option for people!
Not only does Nikol's color "go" with her, the AMOUNT of hair she has is enviable! Some people may think the bob is "old" but I think the way she sweeps it in different ways is in keeping with her look...to me she has a very elegant look and her hair is an extension of that. Can't really picture her hair thickness and texture in another style except maybe very short and "edgy" ..but then that doesn't seem to fit her persona...hmmm.... I just wish I had a quarter of the thickness her hair has!
Love your videos. It would be great to see the one on toning yellow out in white hair. Thank you
Nice! Agreed, “salt and pepper” rarely flatters anyone!
Yes please a video about toners!
Right! I think it would be super helpful!
Yes I would love to see a video on how to use toners .
I would love ANY and All suggestion on keeping hair from yellowing. I let my hair go gray during COVID. I love the color. I just fight the yellow. So finding a toner would be great.
I like the gray
I would love if you'd do a video about gray hair and toners. I've just let my hair go au natural. I, too, have salt and pepper. Thanks for all of your help!
Yes talk about toners for grey hair please! Love this series!
Yes, I’d like to see a video about toners. I have let my hair go gray and haven’t had to fight any yellowing yet. 🤞
Love these videos! Please come to Austin, Texas. You "Rock"!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Who knows, we may find ourselves in Texas sooner than later!
Can you do a video on using toners? I’ve grown out my coloured blonde hair to grey! But my new hair colour s more of a platinum blonde! Really great huh! But the back of my head is silver to various shades of grey! I have very thin, fine hair that I wear as a shoulder length bob with full bangs. My hair naturally lays the best with this style. I’m athletic and need to be able to wear my hair pulled back. I do use purple shampoo and conditioner which does a great job keeping the yellow in check ( paraben , sulphate free). I like that my hair feels really healthy without colouring! I cut and colour my own hair for many years (I’m 71 yo but look much younger) as I couldn’t get a stylist to style my hair appropriately flattering to my face shape! I always run home to wash and fix my hair!!!
I love your videos btw. I’m sorry I’m new to RUclips and can’t figure out how to attach my picture. Lol
yes please to toners , my hair is natural blonde but goes brassy in the sun .so need a cool shade .
Great video and the interaction with your wife is wonderful. I prefer the fuller, side part version of Gina's hair but ... maybe I'm not the best to ask as I have dark purple hair cut into a layered, shoulder length shag (I style it with a lot of volume) - 😄
Get.on.with
It
I think the gray would look great on her and wearing it straight is pretty. She should get volume too since she has wavy hair. It’s just a matter of bending those waves straight but voluminous.
YES to this!
I just allowed my hair to grow grey. I have an huge band of white running down from my crown all the way down the length of the right hand side. And my fringe too is fully grey. The rest is more salt than pepper. It’s down just past my waist and I tend to keep it under control mostly in braids. At 67 I do get a lot of compliments! 😁🤗😁 I love my hair.
Hi Justin, so glad I found you, I love you!! Your wife is gorgeous!! This video described my hair to a tee! I call it the "Christmas tree affect" when my hair gets poofy on the bottom. I would love to see a vid on why my dark brown hair turns orange when I lighten it? I'm currently dark blonde w/blonde highlights, but the dark blonde came out dark red brown. My hair absorbs color, even tho I only put it on the roots & makes it darker. NO colorist I've ever been to seems to understand this, I'm constantly changing stylists because they make my hair too dark and too short. I try to fix it, mess it up,have to get someone else to fix it, then I don't like it, do it myself , mess it up... it's a vicious cycle. Ugh. I'm 54, you would think I would have figured this out by now. Thanks for your cool videos. 🥰
I like your ideas. Especially about the cut. I feel it’s important. Could you give us easy terms to explain to hairstylist please?
I like both colors. I actually think she should go more blonde, then grey. Brighter grey highlights if you will. And the salt & pepper could act as low light, or add low lights in a darker grey tone for dimension. I think it would look more polished. And that would make her feel grey hair is more elevated.
Grey hair is tricky- you need to have a cool hair style and clothes style to make it not age you.
You're spot on Holly!
Stylists have a tendency to "stamp" out trendy styles such as the overdone diagonal forward. I agree with your styling on your gorgeous model. Not every trend benefits every client. Enjoy your hike 😀
Brown for sure. I too absolutely love Nichol. She has beautiful gray hair. But not everyone should go gray just because they have gray hair under their color.
I loved her gray elegant bob. She just needs to learn some makeup tricks to enhance her fine features. I see her wearing strong colors and her eyes need a pop with the hair color.
Yes please more in gray hair tricks and how to transition.
I totally agree. Some small modifications to her make up and wardrobe around the gray hair style and it would look phenomenal on her!
You are spot on!
Yes, would love a toner video!
Layers and angle (shorter at the back). Purple shampoo for hair
I like your suggestions & think it would be great if she did choose to go grey
Toner video? Yes, please!
Glad to hear I could help you, I think it would be hugely helpful for anyone that is going gray.
Gina could honestly and easily go either way. However, if like me, she likely does not have the same gray as Nikol. I agree that gray doesn't inherently age a woman, but it does have to be enough gray. I too was inspired by Nikol during covid, and grew out my hair almost completely gray - I got to about 2" at the ends left of color and then, nope! My gray is too evenly dispersed - too salt and peppery and it did age me. I don't have cool, thick, white streaks (like Nikol) or gray patches (like my mom, she has cool, patchy patterns of white and gray in her hair), so I went back to coloring it. Gina is very fortunate to have a lot of hair too - it looks fine, but it looks like a lot! And her skin is beautiful. Double lucky - she can pretty much do either and it will look like herself and great!
Love your videos, Justin. How can I get "interior layers"? I've yet to go to stylist that knows how to do them. I always end up with layers that look choppy and make the hair look wider.
