Ok, how many mistakes were you able to guess before we broke them down??
Hey, Justin! I just found your channel. Something I am particularly curious about is how the Temperature of the water we use to wash our hair damages it. The heat of the water is directly proportional to the amount of oils that are stripped out of the scalp (physically), which is the reason, I believe, that it is more common to have flakes during winter (our scalp dries out too much from stripping off the oils with super hot water). I wonder why such few people talk about this. I believe this must also be related to faster aging of the hair, hair loss, etc. Same applies to the rest of the skin. I think this is even more damaging than flat irons and other tools because it affects directly the source of hair. There is a model who is known for looking much younger than she really is and she strongly supports showering with cold water. I have tried it and it changes a lot the dryness you feel after taking a bath. I just wanted to say this so that maybe more people can know it and use it! Thank you!
two - because it seems that you say "layers" and "coloring" in most of your videos.
Regarding layers - what does one do when all those layers seem to just want to go all over the place. I've kept my hair one length just to avoid that.
Agree about body shape. I'm short, yet have long hair that at times overpowers my small size. Why? Because I'm afraid to cut it because I might not like it and being able to do so many different things with it is nice. Ugh, it's hard being indecisive.
Well. Immediately I thought it looked too heavy. That was partly the colour and partly the style. So I thought it needed lightening and to be less of a block. That would help to make Elizabeth's features stand out more as they're overwhelmed. I also thought it needed layering. I am trying not to sound mean here but while I think Elizabeth's hair is really beautiful and luxurious the style kind of looks like she might not have changed it since school.
Personally, I don't like wavy hair that much and think it looks nicest in the B photo.
Your suggestions for her hair hit the the mark. I love the casual wave look and would love to figure our the best low maintenance style for my body type, face shale and age. I guessed color variations and layers 😊
You did jumped into curve balls. She has beautiful hair leave it alone.
Wow! This was a shock this morning to see myself in one of your videos!!! Thank you Justin for the advice and thank you to everyone being kind in the comment section 🙂 - Elizabeth
Hey Elizabeth! Thank you so much for submitting your photos! I truly appreciate that. I hope you found a little insight in the video!
I’m shaped similarly to you and my hair is almost exactly the same shape too so this video was excellent for me! I’ll be growing it a bit longer and then adding the layers. I don’t like the waves so much, the straighter version is more youthful and flattering. (Ignore my profile picture, it’s a couple of years old.) What will you have done?
I am going to add more layers and start going a bit lighter with my color. I love having waves and I think I can style it with waves too and still do braids and updo as well. I was thinking about resubmitting photos after I get it done. 😀
Well…. That was awesome 👏
@@elizabethl3392 yes, do send the photos in, it would be cool to see how it works out! :)
Love the straighter layered look for Elizabeth. I see you moved her part over which also made a big difference. I could write a book on this subject (maybe I should!) because it's not ONLY our hair. As we age, our faces change, our necks are annoying and where we fit in the world can be confusing. For me, the first thing I think to do is change my hair because it's something I am able to control. Sort of like buying shoes when we're not thrilled with our clothes! Accepting all of ourselves in whatever phase we are in can make a world of difference in how we feel about our hair. Elizabeth is absolutely stunningly beautiful. As we age, makeup can really be a mood lifter. Just a little mascara and blush high on her cheekbone can also make a big difference. Trust this 66-year old that with a little extra work, we might just love our hair too! Thank you Justin for this great video!
Thank you Nancy! I truly appreciate that. And yes your spot on, confidence is such a massive player and all of this! All the things you mentioned that happened to us as we age is really a lot of what my hair suggestions are all about. Combating those common factors as best as we can. But after that the most important thing is just being confident in whatever you’re wearing! I love that you hit on that!
Agree! It seems like I am always trying to evaluate any changes needed for my aging face/body. One recent change that took years off of me is that I changed to a more natural makeup look for daily use after I noticed my makeup was looking harsh on me. I replaced foundation with Cerave tinted sunscreen. You are a few years ahead of me, and I would love to hear any tips you have found for adjusting with our bodies to be our best as we mature.
You said "our necks are annoying and where we fit in the world can be confusing", and I say, AMEN, SISTER!!!
The first layered look was my favorite. It elongated her face and she looked even prettier than in her original photos.
But her face is photoshopped. Look at 8:53. Jowls and smile altered. Even cleavage.
It made her look 10 years younger!
Thank his someone has finally addressed body shape in context with hair style. I have known this for years. Even really good hairdressers seem bewildered by this.
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. What I love the most is you telling everyone to do what makes you feel best❣️
I’m 71 years old and wear my hair long and layered. I don’t have any gray hair; I’m 5’4” and on the thin side. I’ve been told (by a non-professional ) that women over 40 shouldn’t have long hair. Nonsense! Thanks for reinforcing this. I’ve happily subscribed to your channel.
Keep your long hair.
@@karyannfontaine8757 without a doubt!
I went with that criticism for years, then 2020-2021 came along and I loved the longer length when my hair grew out.
Yes I have heard older ladies shouldn’t wear your hair long. Well I do ..
I’m 71 and I wear my hair long, I get my roots colored every 6 weeks.
The makeover ideas were great (I liked the second wavier option) but the best part of this video was your quote "Do what makes you feel good". I once had a pixie cut that everyone said was so cute on me. The only problem was that I never felt pretty with it and it didn't match my personality so I grew it out. I feel more confident and beautiful with long hair, so at the age of 57 when most women wear their hair short, I'm rocking long hair and I'm happy with it. Thank you for always focusing on what makes us feel our best and not on the rules and regulations of hairstyling. 💕
How do I send you a photo etc?
Long haired lady here too. The few times I have opted for a shorter cut I've not been happy. So I'm going to continue with my (way) below shoulder length hair for as long as I can wash & brush it😄.
I have used your hair color at the roots for years. My ends were getting fried and this technique enabled me to look highlighted and natural. I turned 60 this year and let my hair grow longer, love it. I have some natural wave and let it dry naturally since I am no longer working in a professional environment. My hair is almost to my waist, yipee!
What can I say - I have NEVER heard a more lucid discussion on these issues!! 💗 I have waited DECADES for someone to address BODY shape, when everyone talks about face shape. I know from experience (on myself AND others) that what looks good on the head sooooo often just doesn't fly when you talk the overall person into account.
And then the caveat of how it makes you feel. Seriously, this is one awesome video!
Thanks for sharing that support!!
Although, I had a neighbor who was probably Somalian (by facial features); she had to be over 6'7" -- who rocked a bald head. Stunning and definitely eye-catching. She did not care a single damn, either. ;)
I think I prefer the first layering you showed but both look good. Thanks for not being stuck in the "rules" and actually saying it's okay to choose what feels right on you--I'm 5'2 and fairly slim but I like my hair past the shoulders with just some layering in the front. My caveat is that I'm 73 but hopefully don't look or feel it!!!
Absolutely! I think rules are important but I think it’s more important to understand that it’s OK to break them. One of the things I love most about aging is getting more confident. It’s so important!
I hear ya!!
73 is a beautiful age. What's prettier than laugh lines? I love the beauty of older women, which glows with confidence, wisdom, and charisma. Long live
Right with you, sister (just a bit younger, but it's all the same at this stage!! :D )
Genius observation was about how much time it takes to look carefree. Most people don’t realize this. Thank you for articulating it. It reminds me of what Dolly Parton said about “you have no idea how much money it costs to look this cheap”😂
Please do more body type vids! Teach our hairdressers! I'm always wanting to use my hair style to flatter my body type. To be blunt, I want my hair to erase my eating too many cookies. And I'm 67, so...50+ years of working w hairdressers, most of them very talented. Not once has any of them mentioned body shape in designing how to cut or color hair. Their work is great from the neck up. That can actually make the body look worse ie fatter, shorter, older. Teach, brother!
I am glad you didn’t suggest that she cut it all short. I really appreciate you explaining why! Makeover suggestions I have seen from others are always, if you are above a certain age, you should cut it short. I’m 59 and short hair doesn’t look good on me. My hairdresser feels the same and keeps it long with layering.
I am tall, so your explanation hits home. I am also much more confident when my hair is long-- this also hits home with me. It all makes sense now!
Same views about the color. I am so thankful for him and for your knowledge share!
Hello Beckie how are you doing
When I was younger my Aunt and my Mom always wanted me to wear my hair short. I did not and still don't like short hair on me. I have tried several times to wear it short and have always let it grow out. I am 68 yo now. I am thinking I need advice on a hair style. So look out Justin, I may get brave enough to send you a photo asking for help!!!!
I like the straighter layered version. I curlier version added more width to the sides. For me, straighter look made her face look slimmer and her beautiful face is more of the focus.
Hi Justin so absolutely true about the confidence part! There are some women who are not necessarily attractive but their confidence increases their appeal by leaps and bounds
One of the things I have noticed getting older is the subtle changes in confidence. Doubting myself and letting feelings of insecurity in is occurring some. With age comes confidence but it’s interesting how insecurities that didn’t exist can creep in also. I’m working on that. Having said that your point about whatever brings you confidence is true. I happen to fall into several categories with body type. I am tall and thin with dark hair. My hair texture has become more frizzier and it has natural wave. I’ve been wearing it up lately. As we get older looking more polished is important and it’s a challenge with my wild hair. I don’t want to spend lots of time styling and especially with too much heat. I really enjoy your personality and recommendations to everyone. You are helping many and reaching an audience who really appreciate you. I’ll be checking out your color video and travel site. I am starting to get a few grays (fortunate I’ve not had any yet, but seeing a few now) and will be traveling similarly this fall. Take care Justin!
FINALLY someone is also concerned about body shape (like me).! Thank you Justin for addressing this concern.
I’m new to your channel. I used to do hair but am a nurse now. I like how you assessed her hair and how to fix it so it would look better for her face and body type. I had to do this for myself and it took a while to figure it out. My hair started to get gray early, at only 35. I kept coloring it back to my natural, dark blonde for years but eventually it started to look wrong with my skin tone. I finally just had to let it grow out natural to see what I was dealing with and surprisingly I looked younger with the natural color which turned out to be a light blonde with silver mixed in. I also had that heaviness at the bottom like Elizabeth did. I gave myself a shag and it looked so much better. Think I’m gonna subscribe. Good hair advice and great scenery…win, win.
I've been doing the Curly Girl method since 2007 and maintaining it is pretty easy....just lots of layers, and on wash day it takes awhile to diffuse etc but after that, I just sleep on it for a few days and it keeps its shape and I literally have to do nothing else to it, until I wash it again. That being said, I have mostly wavy hair with some coils mixed in. Love this series and I love it when I can relate! :)
Thank you so much! And I agree, once your hair is styled wavy or curly it can last for a few days. So while it may take some time getting it there in the beginning, if you average that amount of time over a few days it actually seems like a lot less of an investment! I appreciate you throwing out that insight! You’re spot on.
I love the layered style you recommended and I actually really like the straight version. It may be the way the bangs sweep her forehead, but that style to me made such a huge difference! Great and informative video!
Thank you! I appreciate that. I actually think both styles would look better on her, photo shopping never really does get overall look justice. The street style is very elegant on her though, I definitely agree there!
She looks so much younger with your suggestion!!! Wow!!! She looks awesome!!!
One of your best videos yet! The side by side by side comparison helps understand the power of layers and styling.
But her face is photoshopped. Look at 8:53. Jowls and smile altered. Even cleavage.
Having been on my curly hair journey I've learned that by forgoing colring, flat iron etc and with product experimenting my curls have rebounded. My whole life and I'm 68 now I complained about my "frizzy" hair to every stylist that never told me I had curly/wavy hair. The internet has been outstanding teaching me how to help my curls. I'm so much happier and love my hair now that I understand it. It took time but my healthy hair with the right products brought out the curls.
She has such a beautiful jawline. I would love to see Elizabeth take her hair up to her collarbone and add the layers! She could still pull it up and it would look great both straight and wavy!
That would definitely be a great option as well
@@justinhickox Justin, Speaking of jaw line, I have my father’s protruding chin. (Thx Dad! I love you & miss you.). I’d appreciate some words of wisdom on a hair style to compliment (actually tone down) this family trait. How do I go about this request plz?
Body shapes are a huge factor! That’s actually how I pick my hairstyles. I’m a very curvy girl.
For the first time I think I'm going to vote for her original look, but with maybe a subtle trim, colour, and layering. I understand all her concerns (colour aside, I related a LOT to her email), but I thought it flattered quite a bit and she looked like a fun and joyous person to know. And I think all of the advice was excellent -- seriously, great video, I took notes! -- I just don't think it will necessarily achieve what she wants to achieve.
I agree with you 100%, her original look was the best of the three, the other two looked inauthentic and cheesy.
Yes Justin's videos are so good. Very informative. But on this one as I have her same issues and heavy hair I was thinking longer slightly texturized (for the hair weight) layers starting at base of neck or collarbone maybe so the ends can be shaped in or angled away along with the dimensional coloring.
I think that Elizabeth have the layers suggested in the first cut since she could wear it both ways shown. Bangs/Fringe are dependent on lifestyle imo. I "should" have bangs, but can't stand the feel of them as well as not wanting to fuss with them. All of the color ideas would look youthful and more importantly, give her hair dimension.
Elizabeth, I hope that you're reading this because I have a suggestion that could really help. I'm kinda nervous saying this, I think getting a professional bra fitting to bring those girls up would be enormously beneficial for you. If you hate wired bras, as I do, there are wireless options out there, it just takes more effort to find the right ones. I bought a few bras from Third Love, they are amazing as well as amazingly expensive. I happened upon a sale, so I was able to try a few of them. Now I'm going to slowly replace what I have with whatever ThirdLove has that's similar.
Good luck with any changes you make, wish we could see whatever you've had done!
The one u picked looked stunning.👍
I love the (second) hairstyle with the color you suggested. So carefree and natural looking.
Thank you! I really think that would work well for her, she doesn’t need a huge change just refining her current style would go a long way to getting her where she wants to be! Thanks for the feedback.
She's a gorgeous lady with a great smile. Just one 50-something gal to another. I love his ideas for her hair.
I think the first new style narrows out her face and her normal, natural color looks fantastic. I would love it if my hair was like that.
I like the layered look best, #1. It might give her some freedom to play around and see what she can do with it. Going from one length to layers will certainly give her the opportunity to discover how much more effort it takes to maintain that look. I've seen many girls cry after making that change. It's one thing to sit in a chair and watch the hairstylist make you look fantastic, but it's quite another to look into a mirror and try to duplicate it. 💕💕💕
I absolutely hear you’re coming from! This is a great piece of insight. Adding layers will definitely create a certain amount of styling. I still think it’s the fault of a stylist not teaching people how to style their hair so they can re-create the look. After that most of the time it just takes a second of getting used to and learning the different techniques.
I love what you said at the end. Right on! I thought Elizabeth's hair was great as it was. I'm past 65 and still wear long hair because it's just 'me'. I get the whole large-bosom thing with her, but I think her hair in #2 was too stringy looking. #3 was "okay" but not as good as her original look, which is quite beautiful and very healthy-looking hair. WHY do we incessantly want to change ourselves to something we don't naturally have??? This is a serious female issue. I quit wearing eye makeup 4 years ago, and still sometimes feel a bit of social pressure, but I've decided to completely accept myself and how totally unnecessary makeup is. Anyway, I have to disagree that Elizabeth's current style made her look older.
I love the face framing it makes her look younger makes her look like a different person.
Great job.
Hello Patti how are you doing
Awesome Justin, Like my husband tells me "You do you"!
I really love that you stated, to wear your hair the way you feel comfortable and not what others say. You are awesome.
I love this one especially! Body shape is something I struggle to figure out as a factor in my hair style. Would love to see examples of different styles on different body types. Thanks!
I love this suggestion! I have the same thoughts. I hope he will do a video on this subject.
Yes, and not just the front view but from the back as well.
Enjoyed the suggestions! A few things more; we larger busted ladies can achieve a more youthful look with a really good lift & support bra. Hair color chosen based on skin tones (which often change as we age) can avoid a harsh or washed out look. You probably address that in one of your videos 🙂
Confidence rules ❤️
This is the one episode where I think she looks best with her own original style. No change needed.
Well I can say,
Her hairstyle
her body shape
And the clothes she wears
As well as shoes will all play a part in her overall confidence and how she carries herself
Love the layered look on her. I agree with haircuts that makes you confident. I have had a stylist deny cutting my hair as short as I wanted because he disagreed with it. I had my hair very short several times before and wanted the change. I was over 50 years old also. Never went back to that salon. For women their hair is a big confidant builder.❤
Exactly! That always frustrates me when I hear about stylists doing that. At the end of the day it’s one thing to suggest a style not working based on hair texture etc., but your opinion as a stylist doesn’t matter. The client is the one wearing there, they get to choose ultimately what works best for them.
Yes, I wanted my longer hair in a pixie and my long term stylist refused and it took me a couple people til I found my hair cut. I liked it a lot.
Elizabeth is a beautiful lady. I love the layers on her. I would suggest a curl cream and the plopping method. Then air dry. I do it every time I wash my hair. It's super quick and easy. It would be a fun experiment after the layered cut to see how much natural wave she can achieve. Thank you for teaching us about body type. I was hoping that you would talk about that.
Thank you … I have done the plopping method with curl cream … tried lots of different products and tried a diffuser too … it takes a long time to dry my hair and it looks greasy the next day.
What is plopping?
@@teresaboyer5707 The way I plop is I use a long sleeve tshirt, lay it out on my bed with the bottom hem folded up 4 inches. After putting curl cream in my wet hair and scrunching it in, I lean over and place my head on the tshirt, fold the top down over the back of my head, then wrap the sleeves around my head and tie in the front. I press down all over then leave it on while I do my makeup, about 15 minutes. Take it off and airdry. You can also diffuse it. You could also use a microfiber towel or wrap.
Her face is already so pretty. Rocking the hair style would look soo good & show her face off better.
Great ideas. The most powerful words were about confidence. You wear the look; it doesn't wear you. If you love it, do it. When you are confident it shows, the real you comes out to see people and they will love it. And remember, every time you show up confident and expressing you--you give other women around you the support and courage to do the same. Who knows what kind of boost you may give to another woman who wants to step into her confidence, but just needed the little nudge your example gave her. I loved the layering looks and the tip about coloring was so cool. Thanks.
This was super interesting! I have a very short, but curvy body type and wavy/curly hair, so it's a challenge. I keep trying to wear it long because I like to see the curls, but it's way too big, even for my curvy body type. I love all the options for Elizabeth! It's probably already in the works, but I think it would be really cool to do follow up videos for participants that implemented the suggested changes.
Yes, awesome advice, Justin. The layers and lighter end colors work perfectly for her, IMHO. I've done the "root color only" for years on my thick wavy LAYERED hair and people always asked if I highlighted it, lol. As I age, my now "platinum" hair is the highlight and I only do spots of slightly darker root color here and there to give a root lowlight effect. I'll add she should try diffusing hair to give that lift.
Thank you! And absolutely, it’s amazing how much that simple technique of not pulling color through your ends works right! A diffuser could definitely be a fantastic option as well, but only if her hair is layered first as a current style and texture is too heavy to maintain any wave or curl that the diffuser would create. I do like where your heads at though!
@@justinhickox OH, yes, I meant diffuse if layered. 🤭😄 Thanks!
Great video, but I also noticed Elizabeth's dress neckline has been changed in the 'after' pics. As a busty gal myself, I have learned that a V neckline can 'draw the eye down' away from the face, accentuating the 'issues of gravity' we naturally curvy girls face. I find a square (horizontal) open neckline stops the eye from going downwards and frames the face rather than the bustline. It's hard when people look straight at your chest when you just spent hours at the salon! Elizabeth is a lovely woman and I like your ideas for her hair. Thank you for addressing body type 💕
That hairstyle that you chose for her was very good. It made y
Her look younger and thin out the her whole appearance …very nice!
Hello Joan how are you doing
I too think this is one of the best videos I've ever heard on really how to decide on a Style to suit you. I love seeing the three photos side by side. Personally I liked the first change off-center part straighter layered look with more dimension in the hair. I've always had waist length straight hair with bangs, and a few years ago decided it just wasn't looking good on me anymore with age. My hair was thinner and but still beautiful looking hair, it's just I wasn't looking so beautiful with it anymore. So I tried the shoulder length layered more natural wave look which my hair had gotten after menopause . Looked nice , but it was way too much work and my straightish hair required touch-ups with spray and product and the curling iron during the day. After about 6 months of that I said no way and decided to go shorter and not do the curly girl thing. My hairdresser retired during the pandemic so I went to a highly recommended one who absolutely destroyed it... the cut was horrific, my friends told me I could not leave the house unless I had a paper bag over my head it was so bad. So I cut it myself into the style that I had showed him and wanted as best I could. I've been cutting it myself and low lighting it myself ever since, I was too traumatized to try another hairdresser. I changed the parting and basically went to an asymmetrical layered style with just a touch of bangs, angled down over the eye into a jaw length bob on one side with the short over the ear wedge look on the other. The drama of it is fantastic. I have always loved seeing something a little more dramatic and stylish on older women. It's fun, it's exciting, it's unexpected, and you don't just blend in to that invisible mature woman look that's so often happens as you age. Hope you never stop with these videos, they're so educational and motivating and supportive to us!
I really personally do not like layers and crave my heavy hair. It’s good to have a diverse opinion on this. Also, I am excited to grow my hair long again because wearing my hair in braids is my favorite style.
Wearing your hair in braids?
@@anne-elizabethmcgeary1023 yes, I always wore my hair in one or two braids when it was longer. Sometimes multiple braids. I am not a fan of loose style or layers.
@@anne-elizabethmcgeary1023 Yes, why not? I, too, love braids!
Thank you 🙏!
I am short and curvy. I have naturally curly hair. I’ve learned to cut and color my own hair thanks to you. I’ve noticed that a shoulder length style is best for me. If I let it get longer my curls tend to look like tentacles hanging down my back.
This makes sense. When I was younger, cuter, thinner I always had a pixie. Sometimes super short. Now I'm 63 and fat, I'm under 5ft, so really rolly polly. I can't wear my hair short anymore. I need chin length. Our model today looked fabulous with a bit of puffyness in her hair, layers, dimension etc really suited her.
Layers make such a difference. She has beautiful hair and looks great.
But her face is photoshopped. Look at 8:53. Jowls and smile altered. Even cleavage.
My hair is wavy naturally (more so seemingly since menopause). It also takes a curl quite easily. I tend to straighten my hair, to calm it down. I usually wash/blow dry my hair Saturday night and straighten/style it Sunday morning before church. And then it lasts all week until the next washing. So the hair products and time for styling is a one-shot deal for me.
This makes perfect sense....
I have learned so much.
Thank you. One tip could you speak slower plz🌺
I think she looks best in the straighter layered look. It would have lots of movement and frames her face. I have curves and hair about that length that is much finer than hers although I will never need to dye it (In my 60's and still no gray). I wear layered bangs and slightly layered sides that I pull back into beautiful native beaded barrettes to keep it out of my face. It still has lots of movement.
That scenery today is beautiful!
Thank you! Wait until we start traveling, if you are going to get a whole lot more amazing!
I really like the layers for her. Creates playfulness and movement. The eye. Is drawn toward her facial features and not her chest. She has a youthful smile.
I think, She would look Stunning with the hair change. Beautiful Lady!
I'm a former hairdresser and what we were taught about body shape applies to this young lady. Shorter hair would draw your eyes from her chest area, and I believe make her look slimmer.
I love your videos! Love the fuller layered look on Elizabeth. Love your tips for body shape and hair length. Thanks for the tip about not pulling the dye through to the ends, need to start doing this!
Elizabeth your hair looks nice the way it originally was.
You’re a beautiful lady.
Please do a video on how to combat, frizzy, wiry, unmanageable grey hair that does not involve coloring or chemical straightening.
Elizabeth would look great with the framing you did in the photo but with her hair longer. Her face looked much younger but it was in a way that didn’t match her overall form. Really long hair is so often discouraged and there is no good reason for that. Elizabeth I say keep growing it out and get one of the curling irons that doesn’t have a clip collected . The tapered iron that climes with a glove to hold the hair in place.
I would like the people that are chosen for your videos to send in a photo of what they ended up doing!
I like the style on the left of the three pictures of Elizabeth you showed together or alone at 9:00 minutes. It looks loose and carefree and as you say she can wave or curl it if she wants a different look..
Layering and changing her part really changed her look. Very nice. I think she should do this. It really works in my opinion.
The layered look you showed first looks great on Elizabeth. She has a great face shape that gets lost in her current style, plus I think she would have a lot of style options with the layered look. Her current color is a little off for her complexion, too dark, too matte. She looks good sans makeup, just needs a color tweak for her hair.
I totally agree! A slight modification to her hair color would change everything for her. It’s so interesting how small changes can make such a huge impact!
Image 1, with straighter hair and layers in the front! She looks great, and younger. Wow!
She looks great with the layered straight style!
Hi Justin, I found your channel yesterday and have watched several of your videos. About Elizabeth: the first layered look was so lovely. Definitely my favorite. I appreciated your thoughts on body types. As a 5’8, 25 pounds overweight late 60’s woman, I love your emphasis on “what feels good,” as in, what the personal preference is.
You have gained a new subscriber who loves the outdoors as you and your wife do. Keep up the great work.
Now on to your video about putting highlights in my fine, slightly wavy, just below my ears, layered hair. :-)
Thank you for encourging women to just be confident and do what is best for themselves.
Love the layered look on her! Wow!
@justinhickox thank you for this! I spent the majority of my life trying to please others, in the last decade I’ve realized that I don’t have to make everyone happy while forgoing what I want. At the ripe young age of 62 I’m finally allowing my hair to grow past my shoulders while still keeping it in a contemporary style. No easy feat given my thick/course/wavy hair! I so appreciate you and your videos! 🌺
I really liked the style you chose for Elizabeth. The layering and color looked so lovely on her.
She should take your advice of course and having said that she has beautiful hair!
I just wasn’t sure about the color change of warm highlights. She might be a winter so should stick with the cool brown, but I’m not sure. Concept Wardrobe is a good website to help with coloring. Winter is cool, bright. Spring is warm, bright. Summer is cool, soft/subdued/grayed out. Autumn is warm, soft/subdued/tea-stained tones. And each one has 3 subtypes.
I’m so excited that you are willing to help us learn how to do our own color and hi light. I can no longer afford to spend the money on my hair as I used to, but I’m not ready to go grey! Thank you so much for your help! I’ll be following you and telling my family and friends about you! Thank you my good man! 😊
Well, I have the wrong hair style/length (long pixie) for my short-fat, old body. But I FEEL great and edgy. I'm 68, 5'3". and 198lbs. LOL. I had my hair cut short (last week) after having a bob for 8 years. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Really really appreciate your insights on this! I am a short (5’3) fit, hourglass shape and LOVE long hair. I feel most confident in this & you helped me confirm that confidence IS beautiful ♥️
Hello Tricia how are you doing
I love this! Thank you for sharing the importance of confidence and not what’s trendy.
It helps A LOT if the hairdressers actually LISTENED to their clients.
I hadn't had a haircut for three years due to covid stuff. when I finally got an appointment i brought photos of my own hair from previous haircuts, described how to get the look, she ignored everything i said, flapped her f#&=>; jaw the whole time (didnt concentrate) and proceeded to give me theost shocking cut ive ever had. not only did she blunt cut it all one length, except for the crazy different lenghts she did one one side at the front. of course hairdressers can disguise their shit work with products and a hair curler. and the LAYERING was exactly what I requested.
most hairdressers ive been to seem only there to flap their mouths off, not cut hair.
i hate hairdessers, would rather go to the dentist.
Great video! I use a modified curly girl routine and only use gel if I want my curl to hold longer bc I have a sensitive scalp. If she is having issues with holding the wave, she can try scrunching a light or medium hold gel or mousse into wet hair instead of super strong holding gels which may feel crunchy. All the beach wave products I have tried make your hair sticky so I wouldn't recommend them. Using gel on wet hair instead of dry hair was a total game changer for me. Hopefully, she can determine which things work for her and simplify her hair routine over time. Good luck!
The guy is excellent in his advice and the last advice was the best.... People look at your smile not at your hair really so do what makes you feel good
There are lots of professional hairstylists you can go to. To achieve the look you are talking about. O love getting in the chair and being pampered. It’s wonderful
I think your suggestions were right on the mark!
I think cutting up to just below shoulders, layer square cut on top and bring sides back when layering so it softens around face.
Loved this video Justin. Personally I liked the layers and straight, let dry with minimal heat there may be the curl being sought. As a woman with a similar torso I felt best when my hair was long and had the shape you suggest; sadly I weakened during a bad 2020 and chopped all the length off to above shoulders and am now working on length. At 56 I may not get to waist length again and am aiming for mid back/bra. Personally I felt my best then or with cropped dos. I’m saving crops for when/if I go the whole grey route 😉. Hopefully your lovely lady will develop her style from your insightful suggestions. Thanks for covering body shape with style shape.❤️
Elizabeth! From your pictures and email you look like just a beautiful human! You just smile from within. Those are my favorite people ❤ I'm not sure with your statement of having finer hair that adding layers all throughout the bottom would make you comfortable or if your hair likes to grow healthfully past a certain length. If your hair gets finer as it continues growing down as in the first longer look he shared you might not really get the end result. I thought the suggestion of adding a but of subtle dimension could suit you in an easy way. I identified with your MO. I have fine and thinning hair, natural wave and mid-forties gray. Mine is bust level and seems to want to stay there, everyone's different. But I related to your no fuss and no makeup preferences. I also like options to get it up and out of my face for practical reasons and different styles on a whim. Honestly when I saw your pictures I didn't see anything wrong with your style or your hair. You ultimately know best what will make you happiest. But if you're looking for something more youthful I don't really see it, you already look very young: from your profile you can still see definition in your neck, being, 'curvier' (Imho) lends itself to looking younger beyond a certain age, rather than a thinner person of your age. I hope that makes sense? Keep that length for easier quick styles, maybe add a bit of longer face framing layers and experiment with some non-permanent wave options when the mood strikes you. You're a beautiful lady as you are. Just my thoughts ❤ Good luck in whatever you choose to try but know you look great to begin with, I wouldn't stress it
I liked the simple layered look best but the waves are great as well. Thanks for sharing this with us ♥️
Amen ! Took me 78 years to figure out that I need to feel good in my hair - period!
I would love to see examples of different hairstyles on long oval face shapes. I am 79 years old and currently have a bob slightly above chin length and would like to have more of a modified pixie. Fortunately I do not work my age and people are always telling me the same. However, My hairdresser keeps telling me not to do it but I am always wearing my hair short. I do so appreciate your mentioning the fact that we must do what makes us feel better about ourselves. Thank you for all of your Expert suggestions!
Love this series- thank you, Justin! My comment is that as a curly girl (poodle curls 3B, if I let it run wild), natural curls are pretty easy to achieve, but you can't be a hair control freak (like me!) I agree on adding layers, but for styling, don't worry about following the curly girl method like it was written in stone. It's okay-ish info, but your hair is not her hair. You need to experiment and find what works best for you, and your "best" will change depending on weather, hormones, whatever (curls are fun!) Curly hair is prone to dryness, so add a leave-in conditioner after washing, if needed. Start your experiment by scrunching in a mousse and a gel , or my Holy Grail product, Curl Keeper Original (a watery gel). You can use a Denham Brush to easily create curls simply by brushing your wet hair and kind of shaking the curls (I use Curl Keeper's version of the brush). If you want, twist your hair into curls afterwards; I do larger twists to make mine looser. After this, you may want to scrunch in a bit more gel; it's up to you. Then -and this is key- gently blot your hair with a t-shirt, microfiber towel, or Curl Keeper's Microfiber gloves, otherwise the weight will weigh your curls down (and take longer to dry). Let air dry and/or diffuse. Fluff with "Jazz hands"- spread your fingers, place close to scalp and gently fluff (this will also break the gel cast, if you have one). Use a couple drops of Argan Oil on your hands if you want/need to; Argan Oil is excellent for curly/wavy hair. Once you get it down, it's really easy. You're beautiful and have gorgeous hair. No matter what you do, you'll look fab!
OMG I love this. My hair has Very "closeted" curl that I sometimes try to bring out. I want to try this product, but I'm all organic -- food, personal care, whatever else possible). It sounds fantastic, though!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all that you say and feel about a woman doing what she feels looks good or feels good to her. For many years I wore me hair super short to please someone else, prior to that I wore it permed and styled as dictated by anonther person. Now I wear it to please me and it feels good! Now that I do not color but have let it gray at will, I receive many compliments and that validates the choices I have made. One last thing, the longer it gets, the more natural wave it has and I get compliments on that as well (and to think of all the time and money I spent on perms!). Keep up the good work you do, you are an inspiration.
You are beautiful and will look great with either of Justin’s look! 🤗
I like the style that YOU, Justin, showed....Perfect on that beautiful lady!
Advice from curly girl experts always say it takes a lot of time to find your natural curl/waves. I tried it and 💥 BAM overnight I look like the feral child from The Road Warrior. I henna’d my hair for decades and now, at 57 I am salt and pepper. I look like a crazy person. My hair is trying to find a new frequency. 🦔I might have to drive down to Portland when you are back and get help. (Live in Seattle) thanks for helping us!! Have fun adventures.
Hi Justin,
Great video once again! Even though you don't have a section of 'curveballs' I will say that I loved look # 1 which I want to say is curveball 1. You are such a genius and love how you come up with these mistakes!💫
There is ALWAYS something new I learn from your videos and today I learnt about the hair length and style with regards to body shape and size!! 🙂
While I hope that I am not making any mistakes with my hair, I am really looking forward to your comments and curveballs and options! I have sent my pictures in since a long time and hope to be featured some day! 🙏
Much love and light to Dionna and you from your biggest fan from Charlotte, NC ❤️

I have fine curly hair that is Elizabeth's length that has some layers and a product sensitive scalp. I have issues with scalp psoriasis when I use certain products. I don't like to spend lots of time on my hair either. I can usually go 4 or 5 days after a wash day by doing the following. I use Not Your Mother's (NYM) shampoo then a different name brand of conditioner that rinses out in the shower, then just squish my hair with a towel. Then I apply AG Fast Food Leave in conditioner on mids to ends. I then comb thru with a wide tooth comb. Then I use a paper towel to squish out some more of the water so I don't drip everywhere. A couple of minutes later I apply NYM's curl cream on mids to ends. Then a few minutes later spray water on my hair so that when I put NYM's gel on my mids to ends there wilI be a squishy sound when I scrunch the curls. I usually air dry and when it gets about 75 percent dry, I flip my head upside down, scrunch the curls and fluff my roots. Then my hair is fluffy looking instead of wet looking and sttiff. The next 3 to 4 days in the morning I use a continual water mist bottle to spray my hair and scrunch the curls. Verb makes an awesome oil that you can use to just smooth over your hair to prevent frizz. My scalp reacted to Verb's products or I would be using them still.
You need to experiment with what amounts you apply to your hair and different products to achieve the curls that you want. I started trying the curly girl method stuff at 45 yrs old and am now 51. I love my hair now and can wear it longer because my curls are wavy curly instead of straightish waves. 😀
Well...I am breaking every single rule. Lol . Will have to work on this one!! As always, thanks for the great tips!
This was my first time ever seeing one of your videos, and you have my respect for saying, the #1 most important thing, is to wear the hair you feel good in. You feel confident in. That you boldly rock, even if it goes against some kinda-sorta "rules" for hair v body shape.
You are so right! That hair will look super awesomely custom made and perfect for YOU, if you feel happy, confident and "right" in it. Period! Thanks so much - you've got another subscriber!
