Hair Mistakes That Age You Faster (SUBSCRIBERS EDITION) episode 20

Hair mistakes that age you faster but with a twist! In this weeks video I get to talk about some very COMMON mistakes that require MINOR adjustments to create massive changes! This video is episode 20 in a series where I'm randomly selecting one of the subscribers that entered and using them as a model. I use photos they send in to explain potential mistakes that are being made with their hair now and showing examples of styles they could wear that could help them create an even more youthful edge. In this episode we talk about how important volume is in SPECIFIC places to create a more youthful look, if cutting your hair a little shorter is more youthful or if it should be longer! We talk about rectangular face shapes and the best hair length for them as well as what bangs are best. What length should a bob haircut be and should you wear bangs with them? We also hit on how to make hair look thicker and what hair color is best. Many times if you want to look more youthful, it just takes small changes to create a large impact! These hair hacks are small changes that are EASY to make!

You know what also makes women "anxious," it's constantly being bombarded with ads and articles telling them what clothes, haircuts, hair color, etc., make them look older, as well as how to make their skin look younger, etc., ad nauseam, but not ever seeing such a focus of concern regarding a man's appearance. Men don't get the same flack for ageing nor the same scrutiny regarding what should be a natural and accepted process.

Thank you Kristy! You’re definitely not wrong. Most of the tips I share in this series are about looking better at any age but with that said, the tips I share are definitely rounded in concerns that tend to happen as we age and at a younger age I would make slight shift to my suggestions many times.

[@kayew5492]

About 10 years ago I stopped dying my hair - I was never happy with it anyway especially since my grey roots would show after less than a week. I have kept it in a pixie cut ever since, au naturel grey/silver, no muss no fuss and it is so freeing! I also use only mild soap and water on my face, moisturise only if my skin feels dry, and apart from an occasional swipe of lipstick (parties, weddings etc), no make-up. I don't waste time, money or energy worrying about my looks, I'm far more concerned with my health, and just living my life. The funny thing is though that after I let the grey show people started to compliment me saying I looked younger. One possible explanation may be that I felt more confident and at ease with growing older. Making women feel bad about not looking ''youthful'' in their 40's, 50's, 60's and beyond is just toxic.

I want my Husband to love my hair, but ultimately feeling truly free to make choices and feeling supported in those choices is best!!!

Excellent. Not only younger, but more sophisticated. Love the bang suggestion especially- massive difference. Not sure I like the difference in hair colour, but being 72 myself, and with the same Bob, if she wants to transition to natural hair at some point, it would make that much smoother. I’m amazed at the difference you made to her 👏. As for your advice to men 🥂, same goes for us too. If you love someone, let them be. Nurturing not controlling is cherishing the one you love. So wise of you.

[@justinhickox]

The blunt bob made her look old and conservative, not youthful and creative. Love the new 'do, since it is a bit longer, which will make the hubby happy, and accomplishes what she wants, too.

[@sjjewel1206]

Bonnie needs softness so I would think soft curls and waves and perhaps behind the ears or one ear and side bang.totally straight hair as one ages is too harsh. I see women everywhere in their sixties and seventies with long straight hair and it is so aging and unattractive.

[@karenschoel240]

I was so excited when you mentioned the husbands/boyfriends/significant others and then inviting them to watch the rest of your video. I have a daughter, now married 25 years, and her husband is still wanting her to wear her super thick, long, dark hair like she did when they were married at 18, actually even LONGER. It looks horrible on her with how age has affected her- yet, she wants to keep him happy, and her hairstyle makes her look YEARS older. As a mother I don't interfere, but now you have given me an avenue of conversation and inspiration. Thanks, Justin.

[@glorialegault6696]

I agree with you. Hope your dgt listens and maybe needs a different stylistic even if it's more expensive. If you find the right hairdresser who actually looks at her face. The cut should go back in place when you go home. That when you know you have the right person. A former hair dresser and skin and make up over 30 plus years now 75. I became a RN T age 40 to almost age 70. I still occasionally do haircuts and style plus slight make up on older women that brings out their face. Not the make up. Just because you are older does not mean you are terrible if you make yourself more attractive like some people think. You should also go with there style of life. I still like dresses skirts model like I did a little I am tall 5 7now. Hope this helps women feel they don't need to look dowdy when in there 70 and up.

I recently had my shoulder length hair cut into a shorter bob like Bonnie did. No bangs - and it was shorter at the back. I have the same face shape problems as Bonnie, so I wasn’t too happy (my husband always tells me I look beautiful however my hair is). I pushed my hair back behind my ears and brushed it back more to give a little more volume all over. I also added interesting earrings. It all really changed the way I look and feel. Next time I will definitely not have my hair cut so short. Your video confirmed what I did. Thank you Justin, for boosting my confidence even further!

I think highlights always make us look younger. Not big streaks but subtle highlights. I'm 70 now. I have been lazy since covid and let mine grow and nightlights have grown out too. I did go to your salon in Portland years ago. My sisters and I treated ourselves to nice salon. We traveled about 120 miles round trip. Now for the bad news, the girl at the salon didnt listen to me at all about what my hair was like. I had very thick naturally wavy to curly hair. I gave her free reign on what she wanted to do. She gave me a stacked bobb. I looked like a mushroom when I left the salon. I went back a couple of weeks later for color. I had a different girl because the girl who cut my hair called out sick. The girl who took her place, asked me if I liked the cut, I said not really it was too hard to style, she said " do you want me to fix it for you "? I said yes, she shaped it up and that helped. I was very disappointed with my experience at Hicox. After all, I expected the best for what we paid.

For most people with straight hair and depending on your head shape, it's extremely hard and time consuming to create that volume on a daily basis. It's never worked for me.

[@alycejohnson8115]

Bangs swept to the side was actually Far More aging because it immediately drew attention to the deep lines between her eyebrows (the dreaded "11's" most of us older ladies - myself included - struggle with). This was a Very Helpful demo for Me personally, because I make several of these "mistakes" myself. I too sweep my bangs to the side, which emphasizes My deep lines between My eyes. It's obvious to me now that I need to change my bang style. The ideas for enhanced Volume (in specific places) and the Brilliant idea of darkening the base color before adding highlights - these are all things I can use personally to (hopefully) improve my hair style. Thank you so much! I'm subscribing to your channel thanks to the immense usefulness of this one video. PS: Please don't take offense, but I immediately guessed your wife's age at 15 to 20 years younger than you. (That size of an age difference is not especially unusual between a young wife versus her significantly older husband.) Also, I suspect the pictures you showed of your wife may have been taken when she was younger than you currently are? But I assumed they were current pics of your wife, and judged your age difference accordingly. Once an incorrect 1st impression is made (my initial impression placed you in your 50's) it's difficult to shake that impression... even though intellectually I quickly realized I had almost certainly greatly misjudged. (You may wish to show pics of yourself & your wife together in order to better illustrate that you are closer in age.) However, if you would like to "turn back the clock" on your own looks, may I suggest you may wish to take your own excellent advice? Perhaps you should try darkening your own hair? In bright sunlight you look gray haired to me, which seems unnecessarily aging? (I'm guessing IRL your hair is actually a lovely platinum blonde?) However, to enhance your work on camera, in lieu of using heavy makeup to add color to your face, perhaps you too would benefit from darkening your hair, both to perhaps enhance your skin tone (?) & to make you "read" upon immediate first impression, as being Younger than you currently appear to be? It was the appearance (at least in bright sunlight) of having gray hair, which made Me automatically judge you as being older than you probably are; perhaps other people get the same (unflattering & incorrect) first impression? Anyway, that's just a friendly, well meant suggestion from a very impressed new subscriber. Thanks for all your excellent advice! I'm looking forward to binge watching your other videos.

I thought some layering would give it more of a free and youthful look. I think blunt cut bobs, no matter who wears them (especially with bangs) drags the face down and tends to lay flat. Just too harsh. Layered with a messy look was in my mind, and some bangs back off her face. LOVE your videos by the way!!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! You're spot on with that idea about bobs. I totally agree. One length bobs can work but they are definitely a fashion choice, not about working with the face shape.

As Justin has mentioned elsewhere and I have found out personally, layering can make very thin fine hair just look frizzy and the ends sparse, so it depends on the thickness and texture of the person's hair, and if they live in a humid or dry climate.

@Justin Hickox You are gifted, talented, and skilled as a creative-but the talk to the men was on point above everything else I’ve heard from you. There hasn’t been a man in my life for more than a decade, but this would have been the video I most definitely would have called my husband over to sit and watch with me. 😁 Thank you for sharing from your heart and for letting us in on how you and your gorgeous wife met. You are both so blessed to have each other. 💞💞

[@tammygarrett9261]

Truth , sending love. Hair with layers. I'm a pixie girl, been trying to let grow into shag. Really like pixie though. Easy to style. I'm 63.☺ Gray hair, no make up. Love it.

[@yogini888]

This was great! I love the little bit longer look with a little layering, more fullness along the face and the side swept bangs. The original style was too blunt and these solutions add some softness and movement.

[@irismccloud5446]

This video really caught my attention when you spoke to the men. For many (many) years my husband has always told me how pretty or occasionally beautiful I am. He compliments me when I get home from the salon and has always liked the various colors I've tried. During Covid my hair started growing out, I decided to keep going since my hair is healthy and fairly thick .One hair trim ago I thought about cutting again but decided to give it some more thought. Today I asked my husband what he thought and then I pushed him for a definitive answer. He likes it long! I don't know what I'll decide but the video made me chuckle.

[@SherryEllesson]

I'd lower the part a big more to the side, and sweep the bangs up & over, uncovering part of the forehead. Also, I'd add some product to produce fullness on top rather than allowing the hair to just lie flat.

[@yvonnebuchanan5027]

100% agree with you. Graduate the back and carry the layers through the sides. BOOM 🤯 we have a new, beautiful woman with a couple of tweaks. Go for it Bonnie, you’ll look fabulous ❤️❤️❤️. Vonie, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 x

[@4janetmarie]

You took at least 20 years off of her face! BRAVO! Just found your channel and I am so glad that I did. I am looking for inspiration (color and cut). Really enjoyed! Thanks

[@maureenrose9166]

I think that Bonnie needs more crown height to her hair. She has beautiful eyes which should be emphasized. Thank you

[@Jaymeloveshair]

Agreed!! Brighten around her eyes!!

[@gracemaltese6173]

Excellent advise to men! Couldn’t have said it better! Thank you!

[@justinhickox]

I’m so glad you agree! I think it’s Such an important piece of the equation of relationships!

[@debraray5786]

LOVED what you said about husbands!! I need to remember this and do it for my husband too!!

[@melodymesser6164]

Justin, love the highlights you put in and the new bangs. The VOLUME is fabulous. She has beautiful eyes. I hope she takes your suggestions.

[@joyceschetter5871]

Good points! I wondered about my bangs and bob hair length and now realize whats been unflattering!

[@Sharon-nc6sd]

Fun and informative episode! Yes to adding layers and softening her bangs by pushing to side. I knew this before you went over- yes I’m learning 😀

[@peggyfisher9743]

Following your instructions…. At this point I would angle it so it is shorter in the back, soften the color and lighten the bangs to the point they almost disappear. And a few slight layers so it moves. I followed instructions. Now I am going to see what your suggestions are. I am hoping for a A.

[@justinhickox]

LOVE it! You're SO close! Your ideas could be great! Thanks for sharing this!

[@mellievern1161]

I think an uplifting look for Bonnie would be to lighten her color or highlights and side swept and choppier layers.Adding some "fun" to her hair.

[@babs0203]

“That’s right, babe. Proud of you”!!!!!

[@rhodabrunz7205]

I agree with all of you change options , especially color and fullness!

[@rabbid123]

Just found this..LOVE IT 🤣! Love how you explain the do's and don'ts of face shape, options etc.. But more than anything.. LOVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR WIFE! How wonderful to see so much respect.. laughter & LOVE between two people 🥰💞 Really made my day .. THANK YOU!

[@dn8387]

Damn! Never heard anyone explain MYOB so well!! My husband always wanted me to keep my hair longer too. You covered that topic SO WELL. Thanks!

[@brendatorres2657]

I would think bring the back length up a bit. Also, maybe a longer bang? As far as for color, I like it but maybe a few highlights with brighten her up.

[@justinhickox]

Wow! Well done! You were about 90% of the way to what I would recommend as well. I love this!!

[@Jilliberation]

My sister and I went on a trip to join our spouses in Las Vegas. Our husbands were on their annual cross-country Motocycle pilgrimage to the Sturgis Rally. We had a 4-day rendezvous in Vegas. The men left a few days ahead, and we flew. My hair was thick and long, to about 8-10 inches below my shoulder. The day before my flight, I got a rather drastic haircut, a Jaw length, inverted U stacked, above the occipital bone, and closely clipped, fringe around my, neck, We get to Vegas and our menfolk arrived, soon after. My brother-in-law got to the room first and flattered me when I opened the door for him. "NICE new Do..." he tells me..." SSSsssshhhh!!!!!" was my reply. "I want to wait and see how long it takes for Mike to notice". Bobby's reply, "That's messed up, man!"... I assured him not to worry; Mike wasn't going to get in trouble, or anything. It was just for laughs and giggles. Mike's an enigma. He is arguably the MOST intelligent person, I've ever met, but he also has my vote for the most clueless and unobservant. When Mike made it up to the room. Bobby cleared his throat and made an announcement: "WHELP! I've got a wild HAIR! I'm going down to the casino and grab myself some HAIR of the dog. Otherwise, them rides can get pretty HAIR raising!!" The hint was lost on Mike. We went on and had a lovely time at the theme parks, and on tours through other casinos. I actually forgot all about the ruse. On the THIRD day of dining, dancing, and going on rides, him finding me in CROWDS, we went to go watch a magic show. While waiting for the show, Mike ordered us some drinks, and we sat at the bar, aimlessly playing the table-top poker. All of a sudden, Mike spit his beer across the table, turned to me all shocked and dumbfounded. "HOLY SHIT!!! WHEN did you cut your HAIR?!?!?" I was laughing so hard, I could barely tell him, while Bobby only said, "Thats just messed up man!". About 2 years later, I discovered a particularly nasty fast-growing tumor, in my right breast. I had absolutely no trepidation of losing all my hair to chemo. I knew, beyond any doubt, that Mike only saw ME, the WHOLE of me, ALL of ME. Anything else was just surface stuff, immaterial, and of no real consequence. That's why it always puzzles me when women take umbrage at their partners who haven't noticed every little change she's made in her appearance. It's gotta be exhausting to need to stay on your toes, so you don't miss any minor detail that might piss them off.

[@susangrande8142]

That’s a great story! 😄 I hope you’re all healed from the cancer now, two years later! 🙏

[@ireneerickson1568]

I love when stylists "add volume" and you walk out of the salon loving it. When you wash and style it yourself it seems impossible to get that volume again. How do you suggest the addition of "volume"? Layering? Backcombing? Product? For this woman the volume was key to the new look. Also what about a really high forehead or "widow's peaks"?

[@sheilaharrington-shaw6793]

I agree with Irene. How do you keep that Volume please??.

[@sunflowerzelda45]

@@sheilaharrington-shaw6793 no answer ? dang

[@pollywog92]

Thanks for another great vid, Justin! My first impression of Bonnie’s hair is that it’s too neat! I’m fine with the length, but it should be a little shorter in the back, layers and added height, maybe a little wave, and bangs to the side.

[@asthecroweflies]

Yes!! Always they want long! It takes too much work with my wavy hair! When the hubby gets home he gets your advice! Heh! 🤣 Love Bonnie with curve ball. Longer, richer and fuller with dark base and highlights, and definitely the bangs just sliding off to the sides, opening up her forehead. As always volume! And putting that volume in the right place. I would love to see a video that was nothing but volume examples for different face shapes. Different types of hair, different ways to add volume.

[@tishlowe6716]

I like the longer length and side bangs. Not the highlights so much. I was really glad to see you address glasses. I know the shape of glasses alone can really change one’s appearance, so this could be tricky for you to address since there are so many variations. However, I really would appreciate any tips you have on incorporating glasses into the total look.

[@sarahharris-prewett8035]

Yes !!!

[@SSLFamilyMom]

Bonnie is my husband’s aunt! I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time, couldn’t believe it when I saw Aunt Bonnie on your thumbnail, so awesome! And thank you for what you said about husbands, it was so nice to hear!!

[@jpdlemurlover6454]

Love your ideas Justin! Bravo! Plus.. I like the split on the bangs too! bravo!

[@crissyanderson6495]

Definitely spot on for the man talk! I just celebrated my 35th anniversary! I’ve never been one to be confident in my looks and that’s due to being bullied as a child (and by family) and I became so insecure and those insecurities carried through into my adulthood! My husband always says I’m crazy and that I look fine but what I see in the mirror is not what other people see! I think Bonnie is beautiful and I so agree with pump up the volume! She also has beautiful eyes and you can tell she has such a very sweet nature! Another wonderful episode! 🥰

[@maureenwiggins6828]

[@Lormod23]

Some great suggestions. I would definitely go for more of a bob cut and side bangs looked so much better

[@justinhickox]

I totally agree! Thank you!

[@opcmom]

Your videos are so entertaining! I love that you take us on a journey while you educate us about how to find the right style for our hair and your sense of humor makes the videos worth watching to the end. And your wife is beautiful and funny, too!!

[@joankline3337]

Yes! MARRIED for 43 years, and my wonderful husband keep seeing me at 19 with hair to my waist. I keep my hair longer for him, till he passed. Now I like it short, and sassy. Love your videos thanks for sharing them.

[@cathypierce8222]

I like the darkening of her hair and the bangs to the side. She looks great that way.

[@marshaspears9142]

Bonnie has lovely eyes. In addition to Justin's recommendations, a style that would emphasize her eyes would be ideal.

[@mariahafner1368]

Thank you. I am naturally a dark blonde and since I am 16 years old, I lightened it. Sometimes I go darker an I went from long hair to a short bob and vice versa. My husband loves every haircut - with or without bangs. The only thing he likes the best: if I stay blonde. He doesn’t care if dark or light blonde. He just loves me and he is right - brown or black wouldn’t suite me. We are in love since 18 years ❤️ - half my life. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹👐🏻

[@brendatorres2657]

Just recently discovered your channel and love it! Thanks for all the great info. I recently lost my mom and after for some reason, i decided to finally get the pixie cut I've been avoiding for years because of what others say or think. Love it!!! Idk if everyone else does but I do. 💕

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the family. I’m so glad that you’re liking the channel. I appreciate the feedback. I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. You were definitely not alone, I find big changes in life are typically when people make big changes with their Appearance. I also love the fact that you made that choice and you love it. That’s all that matters! If it makes you feel confident then you made 1000% the correct decision. Well done!

[@debrahsherrington8489]

Looks great love how you brightened her face with darker base and highlights.

[@sheemakolet8383]

Totally agree! Light coloured hair with the change in the hsir cut made her look far more younger!

[@karenmason5266]

Pulling the bangs back makes her look older. But thinning the bangs, or feathering them with layering might look better.

[@corinnecarlman9992]

I wasn't crazy abt the side bangs on her either but loved everything else

[@senoritasteffy4324]

Ha ha, your wife's great, I can defo see why you fell for her - looks, personality, everything! As for Bonny, I was thinking along the same lines as your suggestions, probably because I've seen quite a lot of your videos. I've tried to apply some of your suggestions with my own hair and it's made a difference. The only thing I wasn't sure about was when you changed the bangs, as you call them. It exposed more of her forehead and for me it made her face look longer, but that's just my opinion. What you did with the colour looked great, though! 😀

[@christian5707]

Here’s the thing, my husband prefers longer hair however when I met him I had a pixie cut (I was also 40 pounds lighter 😂) he is going to love me no matter what my hair looks like but because he prefers longer hair I keep it that way plus I prefer him with a beard and because of that he has one. It’s about making each other happy but it’s also about being happy in your own skin. Now on to Bonnie: Bonnie is a beautiful woman but I feel her hair is making the top of her head look more pointy. As soon as I saw her I thought she would look great with a shorter hair cut (something sassy) with more fullness on the top with layers, longer side swept bangs. I also see her with a definite lighter hair color, more blonde for sure!

[@lidiaspyrka8096]

Totally agree! I thought that would have been his curve ball?

[@justinhickox]

I love this! And you're totally spot on. I agree it's about making each other happy. I think the key to that though, as you mentioned, is being happy in your own skin first. For me, it makes me happy to see my wife happy and confident, more than it makes me happy to see her have a specific look. Thank you fro sharing your insight on this!

[@titaniumgirl55]

My husband is just attracted to longer hair. I go shorter, I grow longer, he doesn’t say a word, it’s my hair…..but…I love that twinkle in his eyes when I have the longer hair…it is still there when it is shorter, just not as , ,,can’t explain it. I prefer my hair at least to my shoulders anyway, better for my face. He likes what he likes, at the end of the day it’s ME he loves so it’s all good. There are two people I want to please, first of all myself and secondly him. Nothing wrong with that!

[@susanlindsay7970]

I would put some layering around the face for sassy fullness above the cheek area. I would make the bangs more choppy and layered for lightness. I like the highlights.

[@kaycestjames5564]

Good show. I liked her hair fuller and the bangs to the side. The highlights looked good.

[@lindamarocco4583]

I love this series!…I thought the final look you chose was great on her… brought out all her beautiful features!…thank you Justin!…say hi to Dionna for me!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@k9maiden64]

Many of us, or should I say most of us don't have the money to spend at expensive hair salons to get our hair high lighted! It would be nice to have someone help those in the majority that don't have money to blow on a nice hairstyle when we have to pick food and rent over our hair.

[@gg33]

Beauty colleges are great for discounting hair dos.

[@maggiemalone5957]

Happy wife! Happy life! Love both of you! Personally, I'd give her a totally different style. I think she didn't go way shorter because her husband thinks she's going too short as it is. I love the highlights and lowlights look, but I'd try going auburn. Also bangs swept to the side looked better. I'd try to add more volume in the areas where a side part would go. I don't know what you call that area.

[@susankuehne1810]

I think you did a great job. I totally agree with side swipe bangs. Perfect on her.

[@AndersonKaryn]

the style with her glasses on is great... that or close to one length side-parted bob 🧡

[@melocoton7]

Yes to the commentary to the men in our life. I’m lucky to have a dude that thinks like you. I had a short bob when I met him and then grew out my hair to mid back. Then I wanted to go short but I chickened out and cut a bob again😅 but I really wanted a short pixie. He wasn’t a huge fan of the idea but he said “hun’ I know you’ll look amazing no matter what you do to your hair” Let me say that the jaw dropped to the floor when I showed up with a pixie🤣 he loved it as much as I did “you look so fucking badass!!!” So, guys, support your girl! Even if the haircut is a fail, it’s just hair🤷🏻‍♀️ it’ll grow back

[@ayamore]

I have been a cosmetologist for over 35 years with my own salon, and a lot depends on the clients hair. Thinning hair, fine hair, hair texture, and so on. Face shape, length of neck and so on. Women like an easy hairdo. Wash and go, with little maintenance. No two heads are alike. No two people like the same. There is no correct answer. It is all in the eyes of the admirer, and so on.

[@rachelle6339]

Well said, I agree confidence is the key factor.

[@justinhickox]

Absolutely! I believe confidence ourselves and confidence in our relationships can change absolutely every aspect of our lives.

[@jovickers5313]

A genuine complimentary comment ALWAYS makes one feel good about themselves and they'll endeavour to keep the confidence by maintaining that look.

[@lorettabrail7806]

Shorter in back... lightly layered for lift. A little more highlights especially near face. More shaping around face and do something with those bangs.
