I say women over 50 have earned the right to do whatever they want ❤️
totally agree
I'm 72 and I do as I please...the best advice 👌
All women HAVE that right, it's just that when we're older we KNOW it 😄
Here here
I say women in their 20's, 30's, 40 's and onward can wear their hair any way they want. Ladies, let's stop telling our friends and family and social media contacts how they "should" do their hair if we haven't been asked. Purple hair? Permed? Natural? Big Afro? Green streaks? WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL.
I am almost 59 and two years ago I decided to let my hair go grey and long. My hairstylist almost had a fit. I got rid of her and did let it go grey and long, now I get strangers stopping me to tell me they love my hair and how it looks soooo good on me. Do what you want and don't let others run your life, you are in control!
I had one of those, she didn't like to work on long hair. Tough I'm the one paying for it.
I’m turning 60 and getting married. So I want to have colored hair for that, after I want to see it grow out. Then decide I think I’ll have some white streaks around my crown.
I was 2 yrs younger than you when I decided to grow out my gray best decision ever. I’m now 62 and like you , I get stopped all the time . Ivv be even decided to wear my natural curly hair oh what fun 🌻🌻🌻
Yes! Take Back Your Power! Don't wait Another Hour. :)
You are 💯% right 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Once when I was 24 years old, I had a friend tell me I should cut my hair so it would be more “age appropriate”. And I was only 24! People always have an opinion on what you “should” do. Love who you are ❤️
Once when I was in my mid 20s my mom said “oh don’t cut it you’ll only be able to wear it long a few more years” 😂 Now I am 43 and my hair is still very long. Everyone still says not to cut it!
Same here
Hello 👋
@a basketboy Mine, too!
My mom had short hair during late 40s until early 60s, when she started to wear it longer again. She is now almost 71 and she has looked younger and more vibrant the past 10 years than she did previously with her adorable shoulder length hair.
I find hairdressers are always pushing to cut my hair shorter than I like. I always say I want to still be able to tie it back, especially in summer. They inevitably cut too much and then literally scrape it back so tight and say “look you can still tie it back” 🤔. I had cancer when I was 48 (now 57) and let me tell you nobody appreciates their hair more than someone who lost it at some point to chemo 🙏
That's right! I cherish my sometimes frizzy, curly 61 yo hair! I lost ALMOST all od it in 2014 doing Interferon. I trim it myself (have been for years) & prob won't ever get it cut short ☺
Glad you beat your cancer💝.God Bless 💒you !!
So happy you're well now. I have the same experience... scraped back to barely make a high ponytail or top knot. Luckily I found a young lady hairdresser who is encouraging me to go a little longer.
Change your hairdresser x
✌✌👍👍👏👏
I'm about to turn 70 and after all the work of short hair I have finally grown my hair to my shoulders and will continue to grow it.. bugger everyone else...this is for me and is so easy to wear now with more choices in hairstyles up down etc love it x
Me too, 71 and love putting it up lol
I'm 59, just cut my hair short bob, stylist butchered it,.... i despise it! I've always had long hair.. never again!
@@julie4js that's what I did and the woman butchered my hair .. has taken 2 yrs to get it back.. you will get there.
Good on you. Who wrote these ridiculous rules anyway? In my twenties all I heard was, women should not wear skirts above the knee after 30, they should not have long hair when they were older, they should not like younger fashion and it went on. Well I am 52 now and I will wear what I want and have my hair in a way that "I" am happy with and wear the clothes that I feel happy in.
Me too! At 77 I will never cut my long hair off. Just a trim of split ends. Lot of hair styles with it long.
I am 55 with long hair about 4 inches over my shoulders. I stopped coloring it over 4 years ago, letting my natural grays show in my medium-dark brunette hair. My family and friends say it is beautiful and healthy, so I have no plans to cut it - ever. Thank you for your helpful and empowering videos! ❤️
I'm 59 and have long/ colored hair - because I CAN!! I actually look horrible in short hair and my natural color is salt/ pepper. A few years ago, I had alopecia areata. Luckily, it came back on it's own after about 9 months, so I treasure my locks and will keep it long as long as I want! ❤️
Ladies, wear your hair anyway You desire. Society telling us how we can dress or wear our hair is ridiculous. Imagine if we walked up to bald older men and told them how to look! Schellea empowers women. Love her!!
Totally agree. I'm a 64 year old woman and about 8 years ago I decided to grow my hair long. My hair is now a lovely shade of grey/white (so I've been told) and I love it too!
Thats what she said. Do what you are comfortable with.
'I couldn't have said it any better 💯
God bless!!
Ehhhhmmm.... you are top, but If you are 55, 1.50m, you have some more Kilo on hips, no money for coloration and professional care....better no long hair, believe me.
Agreed. I wish more women would support this instead of using old, outdated standards.
I decided to stop cutting my hair short at 55. Now I’m 61 and my hair is lush, wavy and below my shoulders and I love it! ☺️
That a girl!
I’ll be 65 in July, had my hair super short most of my life, stopped cutting my hair 4 years ago at 61 and it’s waist length now and still growing 😊and it’s so much less effort than when it was super short 😊
I had breast cancer 2 years ago,,, lost ALL of my long, beautiful blonde hair. Your hair looks wonderful / always has body, movement and color variations. My hair has grown out to shoulder length - and I can't wait to have all of my length back!
Same
I am a recent ovarian cancer survivor (53 years old) and I'm in the same boat. I can't wait to have shoulder length hair like you again!
let people wear what they want ,it's no one's business.
Hope you are better. That's the most important thing.
Hello valarie
I’m 67 and love my waist length hair! I’m always getting compliments which is nice, but to me it’s a look I’ve loved since the 70’s and makes me happy. i really don’t care what others think about it. Thank you for speaking out! And tell your friend to let her freak flag fly!
Hello 👋 susan
HI Susan!!! Do what makes you happy 😊
Our generation.
Totally agree with you 🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🌺
@@walburgawehrenberg1524 How are you doing today?
@@justajeepgirlandherdogs How are you doing today?
I’m 63 this month and my Mother’s been telling I was too old for long hair since I was 25 ! My husband and kids love it, it’s in the best condition it’s ever been, so I think I’ll have long hair always. It’s far easier than short hair(which doesn’t really suit my features anyway). Also it’s so versatile- curls, ponytails, buns, plaits, straight. And anyway, my Great Granny had long hair, that was the norm back then.
Please yourself, I say. It’s always been my best attribute, so it’s staying !🙄
Hi am sure you look great with your long beautiful hair 🙋♀️🙋♀️from Paris france 🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼
I believe you look great, because you have the positive attitude towards it.
Tell your Mom to knock it off. You are a grow woman. You Love your Long hair keep it. 😡
The question is do YOU like it? That's ALL that matters!!!! It's amazing that some mothers ,family and friends think it's ok to give their opinions when WE DON'T ASK FOR IT!!!!!!! 😠
I always loved having long hair as well. As long as it keeps staying healthy. It stays. My hair hates hair dye though. It snaps off from it. Even the best professional hair dye.
I am 55 and have had short hair my whole life. I decided last year to let it grow and last month I got a spiral perm! It's fun and funky and I love it, which is all that matters ❤🧡
I love that, Carrie! You are fabulous xx Thanks so much for watching ❤️
agreed. I am 56 and I have done bobs most of my life, I love the versatility of longer hair
Am in my 50's, always feel a bit prettier with long hair, have had all sorts of haircuts since my 20's
I am 58 and have just recently realized how much more I like my hair a bit longer. It frames my face better and is softer than the shorter cut I've worn for ages. However my hair is pin straight and fine so I spend about an hour every morning trying to get curl and volume into it. I'm having a hard time finding anyone in my area that still does perms. Did you go to your regular hair dresser or did you have to go on the search like me? I used to love perms and I know they are so much better than they used to be, I'd love to get one.
Hi Vicki, I went to my regular hairdresser. I go to Chatters Salon. They did a great job! I highly recommend them.
I am 61 and have long hair. I keep it trimmed with a few layers, and I love it! My mom is always telling me to cut it short, but I like the way I look with long hair, and so does my husband. You have gorgeous hair, and I don't think it makes you look older at all. I'm glad you made this video
Hi pretty
Great advise!
I think my long hair keeps me looking younger. I'm 64 and people think I'm in my 40s. My hair is the same length and texture as yours and I wash it once a week too. I think short hair is what ages most women. If you have good hair, and you like it, keep that way you want it.
I LOVE this - we're over 50, we can do as we damned well please!!
I wholeheartedly agree!
So true🙌
Amen man! And Amen again again!
I've been through hell and back more than a few times in life! Not because I wanted to,but because of other people's actions, and choice's! I don't think 🤔 women need to worry about what length our hair is! I live the way I want to!
@@calabriagirl4202 p
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous 🌺 I’m 67 transitioning 18 months to my natural silver hair and had 4 inches cut off. I still have about 4 inches of blond left. Once it’s all grown in I’m letting it go longer. I don’t care what anybody thinks, it’s my hair, my life. 👩🏻🦳🌺 my hair at the moment is shoulder length
Ladies.... just cut and colour how you want! I was wearing my hair to please everyone around me, then I realized I needed to be true to myself and went from long to a fauxhawk and dyed it bright pink. It was liberating and remember, when someone judges you, it says more about them than it does you. Be authentic to you and you will shine..
I too wore my hair long most of my life; never thought about cutting it shorter. I just felt that long blonde hair was who I had to be. Then at 60, on a whim I had my hair cut into a pixie and I love it! I never thought I'd look good with short hair; I was wrong. I've never felt more like myself. So l echo your words @Vixen LaRue "Be authentic and you will shine!" Long or short, gray or blonde!
I was seriously thinking I wanted to put pink a thick strip in for fun!
I’ve always kept shoulder length hair because I felt it looked more professional for the office. I haven’t cut it other than trims since the COVID lockdown started. It’s now at my waist and I love, love it! Although every once in awhile I wonder if I should cut it now that I’m in my 50s which is how I landed on this video. Thanks to the video and all the fabulous comments, I’m keeping it long! Back in the 1990s, I saw an impossibly elegant lady in her 70s with gorgeous long silver hair pulled back in a classic bun. I still think of how beautiful and regal she looked.
68 years old - my hair is the longest it’s been since high school. I get so many compliments on my hair..from perfect strangers too! I do admit I have very thick, healthy hair - I don’t see me cutting it anytime soon! 😀
Im 53 and my hair is almost to my waist. I wear it straight or curly. I wear it up or down. I love the length and the shine. I won't change for anyone or adhere to any "over 50" rules. Thank you Shelly for your tips on face shapes and hair styles. Love your work out routines by the way. I do them almost every night!!!
My wife is 56 with hip length thick hair, it gets her so many compliments so what's the problem
I love having the option of wearing my hair in different styles. People with short hair seem to not have a lot of flexibility.
Amen to all these women standing up for themselves and others!!! It’s been a long time coming and long overdue! Rise up ladies 🥰🥰🥰 and WEAR YOURSELF! BE YOURSELF!
So true!!! 💚 one good thing about the pandemic: no hairdressers. I've been cutting my hair for almost 2 years, split ends only. It never looked better. Long, grey in front, light brown and dark brown mix at the back.
I’m always intrigued/perplexed as to why anyone feels the need to share their opinion about how another other person looks, (especially on the internet!) and even worse - directly to the person concerned. Unless someone specifically asks for your opinion, it’s not your business. There’s no age limit for anything! As long as you’re safe and happy, what does it matter?! X
And not bothering anyone else! But I think she is just asking what people think. Sometimes long hair does not do an older face any favours, however live and let live!
@@maryokeefe5351 Yes, I wasn’t criticising her, quite the opposite…?
I agree with you totally. Do what makes you feel happy. I'm a 64 year old woman who decided to grow my hair long about 8 years ago, despite my friends and family telling me that as I am getting older I would look better with short hair ( which I had until then)!!!! I love them dearly, but totally ignored them. I love my long hair and if others don't, then it is their problem. Do what make you feel good👍 and happy 😊

Thank you, thank you, when will we ever learn to just allow ourselves, to be ourselves to be ourselves 🙏
'I had too have all my hair cut off once. 'I had too were a wig...
All I heard was Saffron u look like
Farrah Fawcett.
Don't get me wrong I loved Farrah Fawcett she were beautiful. 'I didn't want to look like her. 'I wanted to look like me!!
So I took that wig and I cut ✂️ it up and threw in it the trash 🗑 I'm me.
'I'm going too look like me know one else.. if I were a top and I meet myself on the street I will not were that top anymore!! I'm not a twin and I don't want to look like one. My friends are always saying let's all dress a like for the Dance 💃 too night. I'm like not me.. I'm going to do me. They always call me Contrary!!
'I don't care what they call me.
I'm a Saffron and I love it. 'I'm happy being me!!
Just do yourself,
And you will have fun doing it,
You will enjoy life better! Don't go trough life trying to be someone you're not! God made a Beautiful person in all of us, God bless you and your Day,!!
💟 So yes, in total agreement with your tips on hair length, texture issues & age appropriate styles! As a mature woman over 65, I have grown my hair longer than ever before & love it. I have the similar coarse/frizzy hair texture & volume which is very similar to yours. I also feel that it is a pleasure to just pull it back & leave the house without fussing. I would go through such a long process with my hair when it was a shorter or mid length. People do not get it because they haven't lived it! It's refreshing to hear you speak the truth because I know first hand & totally agree! Trim the ends it's a must to keep hair healthy & looking fabulous! Thanks sweetie.....
💟💜💟
I'm 70. Have worn my hair in a pixie for almost 30 years. Two years ago, I started growing it out and now it is just past my shoulders. I haven't died my hair since 2005 and it still looks blonde...go figure. My point is now that my hair is longer, all of my friends and family just love it! I have fine hair, with a wave next to my scalp. If I let it dry natural, it looks frizzy for half a day, then behaves itself. However I think it is much easier to handle if I blow dry it. My style will last a whole week. I feel so much more like my real self with it longer and am thinking of growing it to my bra strap and then decide if that length is what I want to keep.
Live for yourself! not others!
My hair is long and I'm 61 it's beautiful it doesn't age me. Short hair can age you. It it looks good and yours does keep it. I am. Your Beautiful.
You're
Ditto. My hair is long at 61 too. It’s thick and healthy and looks great. Is two inches below my shoulders. Seriously, anyone who tries to tell me to cut it can kiss off.
I'm 52 and I'm not going to cut my hair short. I've always believed that, in general, short hair makes older people look old i.e.,Blanche from the Golden Girls was actually in her 50's; compare her looks with Jennifer López, 51 😲. Huge difference!
I’m 56 and my hair lays at the middle of my back. I get soooo many compliments and even young women want to know who my hair dresser is! My hairdresser says that I’m her greatest referral source! ❤️ thank you for this video- you’ve eased my husband’s mind about my longer hair! 🤣
I've had short hair and like you, my curly-frizzy hair is SO much easier and more flattering longer. I recently went silver with dark blue on my ends, because I was stressing out trying to constantly cover greys. I LOVE it! I finally realized that it's ok to relax and have fun with the aging process. I can't say I achieve it every day, but I'm much more relaxed about it now. And I did realize that, as you teach about amending how we do makeup as we age, I had to amend how I work out and it's been a game changer. Thank you for your videos!
We can wear our hair however we want, and I absolutely Love your hair!!
I refuse to bow to opinions on what I do or like, my hair is very similar to yours in that it poofs out after washing or in high humidity - it would be a disaster if I had short hair. I completely agree with you...do what you are comfortable with and what you love.
Thank you for your wonderful advice. ❤
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment ❤️i hope you are having a fabulous day x
It's a matter of choice surely. If long hair makes one feel great that's what matters! I am growing mine, since the pandemic and I am 72. Xx
I've just started growing my hair back, and I'm getting lots of positive comments and I'm 54 this week, and Im loving my longer hair (its only shoulder length) Thank you for this vid, its perfect timing! 🙌
My "formula" is that when my hair was long, no one ever said anything. As soon as I get it cut short into a pixie, I get tons of compliments...from men and women! I have tried longer so many times, but as soon as I go short, people tell me they love it! I don't go short because of what people say. It's just a bonus to hear the positive comments. 😊It's sooo much easier and way less time to have a wash and go style. More time for adventure!! (And I need to update our profile picture because I have a pixie again!)
Thank you!! Yes, long hair for older women!!! Mine is 2” past my shoulders and I’m going longer! Thanks so much for your cheerleader spirit for us older women! Love ya, Cindy 🌻💗
Hi pretty
Im 50 and have waist length layered hair. I love it! Nobody has said I'm too old yet, and if they did I would tell them where to go lol 😆
Indeed!!
Yes love it!
Same 😎👍
I’m 63 and the shorter above my shoulders my hair gets, the older I look. I always keep my hair longer than shoulder length. I love it!
Meeee too!
You have perfect timing with this video. I have always had long hair. I changed the color & lites between low & high. I have thick healthy hair, I have 3 adult daughters with long beautiful thick long hair. At 57, I’ve heard the comments that I should just simplied my hair style. I agree with you, it would take me longer to get my hair done. Besides I’ve cut it a couple of times throughout the years and was not happy. I have a heart shape face and like long bangs and lots of layers and love getting my hair colored, highlighted and styled, but always long. Yay! 😀
You have beautiful hair and it looks great on you! DO NOT cut it!!! You've inspired me to grow mine! It's 9 inches long (MUCH shorter than yours!!!)
❤️🙏
Mines down to my butt I'm 70 looking 55 and still working dont cut off your hair ladies it's your crown and glory , they are crazy do what you want to do !!!!
You’re adorable!!! Soooo….. I love long hair. Last winter, I got a lot cut off and had fun with some short styles. It was fun. But I missed my long hair. Several people told me that when you are older you should wear your hair shorter because if you are short (I’m 5’3” - 1m62), it gives you length. Blah blah blah. I missed my long hair. It’s growing again and YOUR hair is my inspiration! I bought the bringraj and Amla oil and I get it cut around the full moon. I got layers and bangs around my face a few months ago and I LOVE IT!!!! If I’m going to have wrinkles and age spots, (I won’t do Botox or fillers), I’m going to enjoy my hair!
Your page is my favorite! Thank you for the sunshine you bring and your incredible beauty!!!
sounds brill! I'm 5'2" and my hair is at my shoulders but I like it longer? My post at the top mentions my horrible bro and his wife who LOVED to tell me what to do & why. Arrgh!
Is your hair all real? My hair is thin and I wish I could wear it long. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment, Nicole! I hope you are having a fabulous day x
Indeed, blah blah blah!! 🤣👍 those who want you to cut your hair are just simply jealous!!!
@Nicole Rainville-Camilleri Go Blue!!
I’m too old to pay attention to silly rules based on my age. I just turned 60 and I stopped coloring 7 years ago. I had no idea what my hair color actually was, which seemed a weird thing not to know about myself. It’s much less gray than I thought! It was mid-back but I chopped it to my chin to speed my color transition. I immediately began growing it out once my old color was gone (18 months). I just never felt like myself with short hair and I think that chin length bob aged me much more than long hair. I stopped heat styling it and learned how to work with my natural texture, and learned my hair isn’t straight like I always thought, it’s actually a bit wavy. I wondered what else about my hair I didn’t know. So now I’m on a journey to see how long it can grow. It’s past my waist now, longer than it’s ever been, and not layered except the tiniest bit around my face. I absolutely love it and have no intention of cutting it short - ever!
I LOVE your hair! I am a hairdresser and I am 53. In no way should you change a thing. Your hair is beautiful. You are beautiful and age is just a number!! I too have med to long hair for “my age” I will not change it because someone else thinks I should! Thank you for doing this video❤️👍
I'm almost 62 and love my shoulder to mid length hair. All one length with gorgeous silver strands at the front. It's so easy to style in different ways and I love it. Couldn't be happier. And as you said Schellea, do what makes you happy! 💜
Since I have lost my hair to chemo 7 years ago I have said I will never let it grow past my shoulders. But, when at one time had short hair I realized that short hair requires more makeup. Loved the video
You are so correct. I listened to the wrong hairdresser and got my hair cut really short. It was not a good look for me. I am now letting my hair grow again. I am over 50! I agree with you, thank you.
I’m 64 and I’ve never had more beautiful hair. It’s healthy, a beautiful blond and is at my waist! I’ve had a ton of compliments. Do any length you want, just baby it and keep it super healthy looking
All my life I’ve had short hair. When I retired I let my hair grow and I love it! I feel more feminine and sexy at 62😊❤️😊. By the way your hair is absolutely gorgeous!❤️💕😊
I did this exact same, I love it🤗
You can't please everyone, you do you x
Superior, sensible advice. Thank you! Loved your formulas. My hair is waist length and I am almost 63 yrs old. I self- trim within 2 days of the approaching full moon and Yes, it works!
Thank you, just found your channel. My hair is exactly like yours and it has grown longer in the past 2 years due to salons not being open. And like you, it is easier, it looks better on me than short hair. I’ve had people ask me when I will cut it, because I’m over 60. My hair is frizzy, thick, but when I blow dry straight and smooth it, it is silky smooth and looks luxurious. I will keep it, since I turned 60, I pay less attention to what others want, and more what I want.
I'm 53 and I love my long hair. You look great, who cares what anyone else thinks! I think it's the jealous people who tell others what to do. Do what makes YOU happy!
Thank you for addressing this topic. I cut my hair to deal with menopausal hair loss and hot flashes, but I didn’t look like ME. I’m growing it back out and embracing my grey. BTW it’s no one else’s business anyway!
I'm 56, have longish black hair which I curl with my straightners and I love it. I had a bob few years ago and was told I looked much older so I'm keeping it long 😊
I l🌸💝E this video! I have long hair and I was just contemplating the hair debate! My boyfriend loves my king dark hair. We are both over 50 and workout as a lifestyle. So keeping “ healthy” all the way around is important for us. I love your tips and formulas! Thank you! And I love your long hair~ you wear it well! 🥰💗
I have thick curly hair cut into a shoulder-length shag and I LOVE IT. I'm 53 with a chubby face. But the haircut is so flattering. I can literally jump out of bed, finger-comb it, and forget it. I can add diamante clips for going out to dinner. I'm growing out the dye and enjoying going salt and pepper. A fringe skimming the eyes is very sexy indeed. I have to wear huge earrings though or they don't get noticed! But a shag cut for curly hair is just so cool on older women, and low-maintenance.
As a stylist, as long as you can carry the long hair and it compliments your face shape etc, age does not matter! Never cut your hair because someone pressures you! SHELLY is correct
I have struggled with my hair breaking off my entire life, I finally started getting it cut/trimmed 3 days after full moon (usa) and now I am continually sitting on it. Trimming more often and much thicker and healthy. Growing fast, each trim is about 4-5 inches.. so I don't sit on it for awhile. 🥰
So interesting! So it’s 3 days after for us in the USA, vs 3 days before, as she mentioned?
..how does cutting it at full moon help? What is the mechanism of action?
I have a really honest hairdresser which I have been going to for over 10 years. I asked her if she could think of a style that would suit me and she told me that shoulder length suits me and not to get it cut short. I really appreciate her honesty.
❤️👏 .. your so right if you love your hair why should we listen to everyone else.. opinions are just their thoughts but if your comfortable with the way you look and you love yourself as everyone should then it shouldn't Matter what anyone else says. Love n hugs ❤️🤗
I forgot to add my hair is just above shoulder length very curly thick a wirey.. I have quite a round face so I suit mine short or long with the natural curl..my hair looks alot like yours when it's washed but curled frizz lol.. it's not too bad short with it being heavy and my face being more rounded but it's a little more maintenance..
Amen
I LOVE LONG HAIR, Iam 57 with hair down to my waist. My father hates my hari and will tell me every time I see him. Its my hair and my life. Hair is staying
Personally, I love your hair, Schellea. I’ve grown mine long over the CV lockdown years, and at almost 60, I can’t believe how many people compliment me on it! After years of having a pixie, I’m loving my long hair. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and positive energy ❤️
Every time I see an older woman with long hair I go up to her and congratulate her.
This video made so much sense to me as I have both let my hair go grey and longer in my 60’s. Have wondered if it’s “suitable” for my age and stage but I am really enjoying the change after many years of quite short hair. Thank you for making it ok!
I'm from the 80s!. Love the height❤️❤️
I couldn't agree more. I'm 57 & have strawberry blonde hair past my bottom. No one has ever said to me to cut it. Wouldn't care if they did. It is true about trimming your hair before the full moon. My hair grows 4" in a month when I trim it at that time. Thanks for the video 💖
Love this! I’ve had long hair most of my life. Only times I didn’t is when, at 9 my mom had the hairdresser cut my hair in pixi. And when I was in college I got a bob. I’m now in my late 50’s and totally feel like my hair is not only part of my identity but helps me feel like me. My hair is past my butt, I get it trimmed every 6 months.
Thanks for this video. I just love your sweet smile it’s contagious! My 18 year old dog passed yesterday and I am just heartbroken but your video has helped.
It's so hard to lose such a close and loyal friend. Their spirit is still with you. Take care.💖
Who ever is telling you that your long hair is making you look older is obviously extremely jealous 🤣 🤣🤣
You have beautiful hair and you look fabulous!!! So youthful! 😘😘😘❤️
Exactly my thoughts
I couldn’t agree more. She has dream hair and should keep it as long as she can and wants to.
And it suits her face very well.
Agree!!!
Im 53 and still have long hair. Your hair looks beautiful. Lots of ladies get a bit jeolous of a lady that has nice long hair. Stay away from anyone that makes judgements about your hair. I had cancer at 46 and I feel so blessed to still have my hair.
I’m 62 years old and wore short short hair my whole life, pixie cut mostly. I decided 2 years ago to let the gray grow out and go long. My hair is midway down my back now and I feel beautiful. I do keep it layered around the face, and I love it!
Thank you! I get sick of hearing how over 50 you need short hair. My hair is just like yours. It's frizzy and thick. It would take so much time to tame it if it was short. Love your tips ❤ 😍
I'm with you. I'm on my way to 60, I have 3 large dogs, 4 horses and about 50 cats (most are feral and live in and around the barn, not in the house), and about 6 acres. I barely have time to make a pony tail when I jump out if bed to make a cup of coffee and get started feeding everyone. If I had short hair, I would look like the wild man of Borneo every day of my life! This is not a good look for a woman.
Thank you, Schellea! Im 53, had hair almost to my waist, I had colored, decided to stop coloring, there's highlights of gray that don't look too bad,. . . I felt pressured to cut it. I've been through chemotherapy and radiation for Breast CA and still on a drug for that. . . So my hair was not super healthy or pretty, but I love doing different braids. It was a big decision to cut it to above my shoulders, but I loved it! It was healthy again. I'm regularly trimming, but looking forward to growing it back out a bit ( I have a round face) to say least below my shoulders and your video is giving me the courage to do me!. . . Not somebody else! Thank you for that!
You are fabulous, Edie. You absolutely do you 🙌Stay strong and fabulous, sending you a massive hug x
I was diagnosed with advanced stage ovarian cancer in summer of 2020. I always used to say that I'd have long hair for life. I had very long hair and I loved it, but I lost it all during chemotherapy. It's interesting to watch videos like these when I didn't have a choice about what length my hair is. For any woman of any age who can choose how your hair looks, it is a great blessing for you to to have the choice to pick your hairstyle! I got many compliments with my pixie hair when it grew back, but I can't wait to have it at least shoulder length again! In the meantime, I have a ridiculous amount of layers in my straight, fine (but very shiny and healthy!) hair. It's how it looks when it grows back and I just need to be patient until those top layers get long enough for a shaggy bob. I'm so glad that shags and mullets are "in" right now since that is how it grows back! :)
Your hair is gorgeous! I never understood why people would pressure others to cut their hair short after a certain age, especially if they don't want to. I'm South asian and having long hair is the norm even for older women. Long hair is for anyone who wants it. There are no rules! :)
I have struggled for many years with this, my hair is definitely my identity to a degree and I'm not cutting it..lol I'm 56 and I love my hair..
Ditto on all accounts!
Me too.
Me three!
Same with me. First thing you notice about me is my hair. At 71 it's still thick .. thank GOD .. and I wear it to my shoulders but no longer. I LOVE it and my hair dresser who UNDERSTANDS my preference and has NEVER tried to tell me to go shorter. She said I have a young face so it looks good on me. I trust her judgement. I do color it because my natural color washes me out as I have a fair complexion. But IF I could.....I would not color it. I look better with it colored so I do. Once you reach 50.....you've earned the right to do WHATEVER you want! You just do YOU and IGNORE the others. It's NONE of their business anyway! 👍😁😁
Thank you so much for clarifying! I have long blonde hair like yours, it frizzes after washing ( it got curlier after my children were born) and I love being able to braid my hair. You helped me so much since I've been debating.
Yes!!!! saw long hair over 50, watched the vid and instantly subscribed. i'm 67, have long hair, i love it, so versatile and will not cut it, hairdressers are aghast, but i dont go to them anymore. plus my husband loves it too. So good to see so many positive comments from such wonderful women, love you channel❤
I am 52 I had long hair to my behind I cut it about a year ago short up above my shoulders and I do look older!! The good thing is my hair grows very fast so I am for sure letting grow again..
Thank you for this video. I’m 65 and hopefully getting married late October with lockdown restrictions easing in NSW Australia. I normally have shoulder length hair but have been growing it out so I can wear a messy bun updo for the wedding. My hair is strawberry blonde, fine, but lots of it and frizzy unless tamed. I’m seriously contemplating leaving it long after the wedding as I love that the weight of the hair somewhat pulls out the frizz and that I have the options of pulling my hair up.
Completely agree with the Full Moon technique! Spot on!
Hello there
Men in general like long hair, and it helps you look younger than you are! I'm 52 and I look much younger then most! If you get to thin that can also age you!
A long time ago I had a hairdresser that told me once I was reached age 50 years old, I should cut it short. - I got rid of her. - I found a good, quality hairdresser that gives me a quality cut and color every single time. - She also listens to me, and let's me keep it long. - I'm still with her.
Keep your hair I love it - I'm growing mine back, it's salt and pepper.....
Absolutely Correct on the Full Moon cut
Thank you so much for this!
I was very tempted to wack my hair off. I've got very long dark brown hair, to my waist. It's naturally curly, so it's a lot of work. But I love my hair. I dye it, since I'm 57 and do NOT like the bits of grey. My dad is 83 and still dyes his!
My mom is 82 and had about two grey hairs!
So not fair.
Thanks for reminding me to trim my ends!!
You've got beautiful hair!
Thanks
I have curly hair and it has been changing so much since I’m getting older. I recently cut it all off because I was so unhappy with the dye job, the current cut & the health of my hair. I felt I needed to “start all over again” I love the formulas you gave, those were so interesting. I really enjoy your content and genuine enthusiasm.
sharon hello! i hear what you’re sayin..i started using biotin shampoo..i feel mine is thicker cause of this ..do you use any products you could recommend for me?
@@neiceystauffer9085 Any shampoo I buy does not contain sodium laurel sulfate. And I don't use very much of it when I shampoo my hair
I love your hair! You style it well. I also have long hair and I am 52 years old and I often wonder this question of how long is too long. Thank you for addressing it.
Great video . Spectacular comments. I will be 59 this month. When I was about 40 I wanted a pixie cut but had never had really short hair. I showed a photo of what I wanted to my Mom. Her reaction was priceless...she looked at me then the picture then at me & quite seriously said "But you'd have to be pretty to have short hair". Yep. Who knew ?! My hair is down to my knees now . Not only did I not get that pixie, I just stopped getting it cut. I trim it myself. It's healthy, it's many colours on its own from blond to brown to gray & sun streaked . I would cut it off to donate it if someone asked but, like your friend , it is part of who I am. Thank you SO much for your videos.
A Chinese friend of mine in Hong Kong leaves her hair grey. She wears it tied back and looks beautiful.She is always under pressure from her family and friends to change the style and dye it black, like the majority. Since she had breast cancer she thinks its safer not to use the dyes and also likes it longer. Women should feel empowered to decide how to have their own hair. My daughter is 47 and has long hair, and she's keeping it that way.
Ok ....you wear your hair the way it makes you feel LIKE YOURSELF. Period. I am 71 and wear my hair to my shoulders and poofy...see my pic. 😁 It isn't right for people to shame others. You do you!
Dear Brenda, you are looking great
@@senseblossomxxx5260 I try! Thank you for your appreciated comment... 🌹
Hi! Brenda. I appreciate you telling your age, 71. It seems most women won't tell their real age past 65! Is that a shame to be 70 or older? I'm glad I'm 70!
Thank you for the hair tips. I'm 64 and have always had thin blond hair. For about 20 years I had a pixi cut but was envious of my friends who had long thick hair. I now have grown my hair to my shoulders and I've bought one of those new cordless curlers and my wave stays in for days. So glad I grew it. By the way, my family always said I needed to keep my hair short.
I love this!! Great advice for any age about any topic! We all need to build each other up - there are too many factors in this world tearing us down! If the way we wear our hair makes us happy then go for it! Great tips and great advice!
Hell yes you can! I love having long hair and will wear it long for as long as possible!
I’m so glad you initiated this topic Schellea! I’m 53 and love having my long hair past my waist. One thing that’s missing from this conversation is what hair products work well for long hair. My hair is fine and wavy and I color it. I found Color Extend by Redken shampoo and Mega Sleek by Matrix conditioner works best to keep my hair healthy and shiny and I take vitamins made for skin and hair by Reserveage for fast growth. Would love to hear what other women use on their long hair. Every woman should listen to her intuition regarding her hair and beauty routine. I love being a 50-something ultra feminine lady and I answer to nobody but myself! 💪
Thanks so much for sharing your product suggestions with us! You are fabulous x I hope you are having a wonderful day x
Look up apple cider vinegar for hair, plus caster oil for growth. I also take sea kelp. I've had massive shedding for a while, I was worried to brush it. It has slowed now thank goodness but my hair is down to my bottom, and wavy. It still looks OK although it does feel thinner. Im am on a quest to see how long it gets. I'm 63.
I am 59 and have thick shoulder length hair. I have it in layers and highlights. I have a lot of grey well it’s really white that’s why I color . Women should take care of their hair and trim when needed.
What a refreshing video 👍. I’m 65+ & always happier with Long Hair - but the hair conflict with my mother lasted from my early childhood to when she died. 😵💫. When I was 4 with long curly hair she had it cut short - I’m still mad about it! It’s easy to keep long hair, no cut for 3 years. I dry-trim it myself, wash & air-dry 1x a week, colors are great (blonde, grey, dark blonde), it’s pretty thick and tight waves. IT IS SO EASY. Ponytail or Bun or Braids no bangs - casual. I highly recommend growing your hair and pay most attention to its health. The less stuff you do to it the better condition it will be in - and be sure to eat healthy fats & protein & lots of clean water. Wash gently in cool good water, low suds, stay away from too many styling chemicals. Tame the frizzies with Argan oil drops in your palms. LESS IS MORE.
You are so right! I am 64 and love my long hair. I wear it up in the summer and my husband loves it. I had an friend who always said I should wear it shorter,because I was over 50. And for a while I listened to her, but was unhappy with my hair cut choices. So now I don’t listen to her anymore and do what makes “ ME”happy. Thank you for saying that it is only her opinion! And you are right.
I'm 58 and my hair is still dark with just a few gray stands here and there. I have it cut in an assymetrical style with one side to my shoulders and the other side to my chin. 🥰
