I love Lume also. I haven't tried the coconut but like the tangerine

[@nancydann1332]

As a woman in the downhill side toward 70, I have a sensitivity about short hair... Only because it's what has been expected of ladies as we age for generations... That being said, my preference for Kathleen is the darker, wavy style. She looks dramatically younger, but even the added volume on the top made a huge difference. Kathleen, please let us know what you're going to do!

[@Madmarsha]

Me, too. I was looking at a picture of the Golden Girls. IMO, all their hairstyles (short, helmet head set styles) aged them drastically. Rue was only 51 when the series started. I'm not interested in trying to look 25, but I'm also not interested in adopting an "old lady" hairstyle.

[@kathyo9420]

I totally agree! Pushing 55 and need at least enough hair for a ponytail. I refuse to go short just because I'm of a certain age. I also stopped coloring my hair for the same reason. Short hair and color are just too much work for me anymore.

[@Madmarsha]

@@kathyo9420, I'm over 55 and still doing the coloring because I really haven't been coloring that long and, to be honest, with fine hair, I appreciate the texture that coloring gives my hair. I keep telling myself that even when I do go gray that I still won't be totally maintenance free if I want PRETTY gray hair. Right now I'm working on more healthier hair habits (like deep conditioning) as I prepare to transition to the gray.

[@lisaschooler9992]

@@Madmarsha True! One step overall color really does get there a nice shine and texture. Plus it’s relatively simple and inexpensive :)

[@lisaschooler9992]

@@kathyo9420 short hair IS more work. Short hair really either has a bad day or a great day depending on how it’s styled and how it behaves. Longer hair can be worn more casually and still be good enough to get by with most days with a minimal amount of work. You just have to spend a little bit more time on the washing, conditioning and treatment processes but at least those don’t have to be done at 7 AM daily LOL.

[@carak4356]

This was my favorite change yet! Love the darker color with curls/ volume. It’s contemporary and brings youth to her look

[@traceyu6213]

I love the darker, more voluminous hair! I was already thinking Kathleen looks pretty great as is, then you chopped her ends, yes…better, then beveled the ends, better still..but as soon as you showed that darker option, that sold it for me! I love the short option too. Perhaps take advantage of the length and do the dark, wavy style now and in future, cut it short? Nice to have so many great options.

[@justinhickox]

I love your idea! That would be the perfect approach in my opinion! Start with a longer go dark, then transition to the shorter hair! It’s very easy to go, shorter, quite a bit more challenging to get it longer! Lol. I appreciate the feedback.

[@ghc26]

Loved the first curveball with the darker shade and waves! It looked playful and it really livened up her complexion. I’m not a huge fan of the second curveball’s color, but I liked the cut/style very much. Dionna talking about the “whole body”, LMAO. So cute! 😂

[@jill4bama]

Wow! I love the darker shade (brown) and the volume in the first “curveball” style! She looks SO MUCH YOUNGER!!

[@jill4bama]

What product(s) can add that much volume?

[@justinhickox]

I think the darker color adds a ton of richness and really livens things up as well! I’m so glad you liked it!

[@justinhickox]

That’s a great question! I’m still looking for a favorite product, but I do have some things in the works right now!

[@Andra-cr9cd]

@@justinhickox those of us with straight fine hair need a product for volume ASAP!!! I'm currently using your recommended Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme.

Layers and first brown color. Thank goodness there are two options. Thank goodness you are the best

[@justinhickox]

You are way too kind! I really appreciate that. And I love the dark wavy look as well!

[@kath6643]

Love love the brown color with waves tucked behind one ear. The color brought life and youth to her face. Her current color makes her look older. Great video! 👏

[@cathyopthof8136]

No short! I like the the longer darker, wavy style!

[@joycepoirier9956]

I love the first curveball the best. The darker color looks fabulous on her and the fuller style is definitely fun and flattering. Great job Justin.

[@donnaalexander753]

Absolutely love the first curveball! That color and wave is fantastic! Looks so youthful! I get it about the volume on what appears to be fine hair because that’s me but wave can definitely get more volume. Product is also key to getting volume and wave.

[@SAS-fn9ce]

The short cut is super cute on many esp when they play it up. My fav is number 1.

[@barbaramorris923]

I love the first curveball!! The darker color really looks so good on her! Love the wave too, even if her hair doesn’t get quite that much volume. The second curveball was more of a mix for me. I think in profile the style looks great, but don’t like it as much from the front. That may be just the limitations of photoshop, not sure. And I definitely like the darker color over even the lighter with more dimension in the secon curveball. Another great video Justin.

[@user-hi8rg7bl2s]

exactly same even about 2nd, good profile but probably too much bangs/fringe over forehead. and the colour still leaves the pretty lady a little washed out (too monochrome with her skin). first very good! What a pretty face to begin with thanks for sharing your scenario with us all! :)

[@wendypecikonis424]

Yes, LOVE the darker waves! She would really wear that style well!

[@Einsteinsmum]

Omg, the curveball is fantastic! She looks gorgeous. Each of the subtle changes made such a difference. Now I’m thinking about what I can do to update my look. Love your channel and the women who submit their photos. Justin, your recommendations are ALWAYS eye opening. The women look beautiful to start and then you find a way to enhance their looks. ✨💖✨

[@40bdg]

Love the waves, and even the brown color. The really short hair seems to age her more, in my opinion.

[@justinhickox]

That’s totally fair, I appreciate the honesty.

[@fivecentpsychiatry3447]

I love Lume!!! Seriously. A life changer If you have kids that play sports, this is a MUST HAVE!

[@michelleshelton8183]

Definitely the first. Makes her look younger

[@sunnybreeze8673]

How do you like the wavy one?

[@helene420]

@@justinhickox I LOVE the wavy one!!! Super sexy look!

[@marysullivan3881]

The short cut just aged her 15 years. Makes her look like a person to ignore, but curveball 1 makes her look 10 years younger, vibrant, someone to notice.

[@jo4vt]

Wow, that wavy, full, and darker color style looks amazing on her! I’d stay a bit lighter than that picture, but the style is gorgeous on her!

[@jaynemarino7011]

Of course I love all your ideas 🎉❤ I would have liked to see the short, styled fuller with waves, even slightly longer on top 🤔 its amazing how you help us envision and remove our self appointed limitations, thank you always!

[@karenlund5312]

Curve ball 1, to me, makes her look older, plus I think is too dark. Curve ball 2, is much better, but to short. The bangs look great but how bout a little more length and height? As far as color, I think between the real light and dark would look really good for her. Glad to see you’re enjoying your new lifestyle, looks like you’re loving it!!

[@justinhickox]

I appreciate the honesty and your thoughts! I figured these two curveballs would definitely divide some folks, so I doubt you’re alone in those opinions. I agree with the idea of a bit more volume in the bangs on the shorter style, it’s hard to create that field through Photoshop but I do agree that it could look better in real life. thank you for your feedback on this. And we are loving van life, but there are definitely ups and downs!

[@barbaraharrisstephens8376]

I love the color and the shine. Very pretty. The short hair may be edgy but it makes her look older. It reveals all her aging areas like her neck, around the ears etc. It did however cove one aging area-her forehead. You mentioned the length of her neck...when you shortened her bob cut it made her neck look short. The first hair style you showed on the young girl (longer bob with shape and some long to short bangs) I would like to see that on her. That would help to cover all the aging areas and give her a sleek, elegant look covering the edge of the eyes, the forehead, the ear area, the neck from the side views as well as lengthen the appearance of her neck giving her an overall more youth look. What do you think?

[@lindamarocco4583]

I just knew you were going to say add depth!!!…still watching, but had to say, I paid attention in class🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cindyhuber3303]

Big fan of the darker, wave style. Wow!

[@lyonfamily1931]

I love the wavy darker hair. I’d put a few highlights around the face. It helps get adjusted to a darker color. Plus I love highlights around the face.

[@katiepeterson9629]

I want the program allowing you to show her with these different hair styles!

[@justinhickox]

I use Luminar to edit the photos. I call it photoshop in the videos just so people know what I mean.

[@stephb3321]

I agree with the dark curveball option. The dark color looks good with her skin tone and it looks like it’s versatile enough that she can wear it straight or wavy, which is what she wanted.

[@lynnraypardo4033]

Wow! I love the darker color with waves! I wish I could figure out how to use all of those tools!

[@rf9477]

Both curveballs are better than the bob in my opinion, but I LOVE the first one with the volume and beautiful color--it's a complete game changer! 👏👏👏

Would really love a follow-up note about these and whether the subjects chose your ideas. A photo would be a bonus! I scrolled through some of the comments and majority seems for #1. As a woman in her 60's I agree that short hair is somewhat of a caricature for us. However, IMO she looked great with#2, especially the color. The dark color of #1 I felt added some age. Just me though.

[@shannonpmitchell]

I think making the light blond cooler, adding more contrast would help. As far as the cut I think adding some thinning layers at the bottom and bringing it to the chin would help lift the heaviness and give movement to the layers.

[@johnkimourada711]

My current hair cut/style is very similar however, my hair is incredibly fine and not thick and, like Cinderella, any curl...no matter what...disappears within hours! Maybe I need a consultation service 😊! I keep watching to see if I can put myself in that seat of potential change...

I like the wavy curve ball but think she should keep her lighter color. the darker color would be much higher maintenece as she will be fighting gray where it will blend as it grows with the lighter color and maybe dark dimension.

I would keep it the slightly longer style, but would have added bangs on her with such a prominent forehead.

[@nikieberhardt4624]

Obviously darker hair makes you look younger but the reason so many women go lighter as they age is that with lighter hair the Grey's that grow in, are much less visible. I had naturally black hair, my Grey's are actually bright silvery white and if I wanted to not have a white stripe in the middle of my black hair looking like a skunk😄 I had to color my hair every 2 weeks! That's time consuming, costly and bad for my health (did you know there are chemicals in dark hair dye that block iron absorption?) Anyway long story short, now that I have soooo many silvery whites all through my hair at 44, I have very blond highlights that absolutely do age me and make me look washed out and half dead unless I wear a full face of makeup with a bright red 💄. So I'm guessing that's why this lady also had super blond hair. I freaking hate the aging process. I don't mind being older I just don't like the aged and weathere and tattered look or the insane maintenance required to keep it at bay. Any tips?

[@kathymills9572]

Love the first curve ball! Soo young looking! 😍❤️

[@vickiheath6133]

I did not like the short hair I think it really accentuated her jaw line. I like the volume in both the sleek and more wavy looks. The little bit shorter length looked much better as well. As far as the color goes I’m close to 68 and my hair is going grey. I couldn’t keep up with the color as a full color so I tried to just have high lights but it was needing retouch in 3-4 weeks. I am a stay at home widow. I still want to look nice when I go to church or out with friends. I can understand this woman’s dilemma.

[@virginiamoss7045]

The current blonde/gray just does nothing for her. Darker is better and richer; it goes better with her skin tone and seems to be her natural color. Stopping coloring would improve the texture of her hair; I know aging causes our hair to become course.
