There's nothing wrong with looking older. There's nothing wrong with being older. Ageing is a gift that so many don't get and I really wish people would stop making women (specifically) feel insecure about a perfectly natural process. Younger does not mean more beautiful and older does not mean less beautiful. Okay, I'm done now.

[@Braveheart.22]

Thank you

[@EmbracingAgeing]

Totally agree. Beauty is within - it's our character that's important - not our appearance.

[@atlramona]

You clearly didn’t watch his video as it wasn’t about looking young but looking your best, as he said.

[@raiu]

@@atlramona And why is "looking your best" synonymous with looking younger? The point still stands.

[@atlramona]

[@UnPluggingThePlayer]

I love that you guys are OK with aging, but you want to keep good care and look your best at whatever age. It's very uplifting.

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much!

[@HerGreyness]

It’s not being OK with aging. Aging is a given. We all get old and there is no going back.

[@msnetz45]

Well said! I feel exactly the same. Acceptance takes learning and understanding, and coming to know oneself well at every stage. It’s not automatic, just because we know intellectually that “age is a given.” Often it takes a bit of time to do this learning-to “get there.” We are all individuals who deal with life events and transitions in different ways, but mostly we all want to “Learn” to cope in ways that work for well for us in order to find and be our best, most vital (youthful?)selves. Justin & Dionne are doing that, and best of all, they are learning and doing that together. I find that positive and uplifting!@@stop_and_smell_the_roses

[@trapperurban4984]

I started going gray when i was 31. I hated it then, and now at 70, i still hate it. My hair is blonde, with seasonal changes to keep it looking natural. My colorist makes certain that the gray goes away every 5-6 weeks. She also colors my eyebrows so they continue to look natural. My spouse’s family (brunette or black hair), have gone cold turkey gray. They look so much older than their years. I suppose at some point i won’t be able to keep up the hair coloring. When that happens I’ll pick a good looking gray, and go for it. Maybe 5 to 10 years from now.

[@SLT4peace]

Agree, it’s the wording “looking younger” instead of “looking your best” that can be off putting. I definitely want to look my best in my mid fifties just like I did in my mid twenties.

[@lorileew2337]

THANK YOU. Sometimes it's our own perception of it that makes us feel the way we do about certain lengths of hair.. I'm overweight and even though I've lost 70 pounds and have more to go I stil feel like a very short hairstyle will make my face look chubbier.. I'm losing it slowly with no surgery or Ozempic just pure grit and determination and I've always thought pixie haircuts are pretty maybe next year I'll try it we'll see..

#3. Making sure the hair color goes well with your skin tone. As I have aged, I can tell certain hair and clothes colors that I used to look good in, don't work for me any more. I have actually gone to a much darker ashier blonde and find it doesn't wash me out as much. As always, love your content and videos! ❤

I 💯% disagree but you do you - I'm free with my box of color bcuz the look of any gray makes me FEEL OLD and look older than I feel.

I went gray cold turkey, outside of using some funky colors (pigmented conditioners) along the way. I learned in beauty school that nature really does give us the color we should have.

After being spoiled by the greatest hairdresser and friend for over30 years, I realize he can never be replaced. There was never a time that I didn’t feel my hair just felt right. He took the time, sectioned little bits to cut and blend. He knew my hair(4 cowlicks) and how it fell naturally. Shall I also say he was off the charts with color too. Are there any hairdressers out there that still take and schedule time enough time to take the time that truly make a difference? He passed away maybe 15 plus years ago. We were soul friends. He had many❤️. Love and light to Randy Jones of Jackson, Mississippi😇. Where are the natural born hairdressers?

[@dianeboross6978]

Love City Beauty products, so happy to see you sponsored by them. Also, love that you are addressing important aging issues around hair. Most relevant for me is creating shape and getting the color right (2 issues, I know). I believe any lengh can look good, provided the shape is complimentary to the individual. Thank you, both, cute delivery, as always.😘

Very timely video, Justin - I have thick fine half curly hair and I’m going in today to get a cut. My hair definitely wears me! I wear it in a short curly bob - that is when it’s not butchered into an old lady cut. Fingers crossed!

[@justinhickox]

Awesome! So glad I can help! I hope it goes well. If you get a chance, look for some pics of shapes you like and things you don’t like. Take them to your stylist so you can better explain things. Then the two of you can decide together your best options. Can’t wait to hear how it turns out.

[@susanlampman7591]

Great video and timely for me. I’ve been letting my hair grow, and you are so right about the lack of shape. It’s really making my face look droopy and at 64 I don’t need any help with that! I was just telling myself … you need to do something with this hair!

You should talk about how to find resolution for haircuts and style that don't need styling every day.

[@g3andrea]

#3 I made the mistake of trying to go blonde in hopes of having my silver strands grow in. Unfortunately (at 63), I only have about 24% of my gray coming at this point. The blonde was ok in the summer with a tan, but it made me look very faded out during the winter time. I have had all of that color cut off. My hair is much healthier, shinier, and more natural. Now I have a sprinkling of "salt and (dark brown) pepper", which works best with my natural coloring all year long.

[@JuliaShalomJordan]

I love how detailed your videos are. Thanks for your help…getting my hair cut for my 48th birthday…ready for change.✨🌸✨

[@metrower42]

Wish you lived closer. Everytime I get my haircut, it ends up not being what I had invisioned. It doesn't do any good to bring in a picture of what I am wanting because it almost always, ends up being waaaay shorter than I wanted. There is a two week after cut shock period, a two week period of it looking maybe not so bad, and then two weeks of it needs another cut. It doesn't seem to matter if I say "trim, shape, layer" or whatever and does not matter if I change styests. If I get a good cut, my hair is incredable, thick with a bit of curtl. Even though I get compliments on my hair, it seems that stylists want it to be short and set me up a six week appointment.

[@justinhickox]

So sorry to hear that. I don’t think you’re alone. I’m not sure if you’ve tried this, but it may be worth it to use the photos to explain what you like and what you don’t like, then also make sure to show visual reference to what could be too short to write I also typically seem to still away from using any specific terms like players training, shit simply because those convene different things to different stylists another option would be to ask someone that has a similar hairstyle and ask them who they see. Then you can contact that salon and ask the seniors. Or ask to see someone who specializes in hair like yours. Then book a consultation before your haircut so you can talk and make sure that you think they’re a good fit before the cut appointment. Hope that helps a little.

[@user-dianejcml]

This was me exactly for years. I felt like I only had 2 good hair weeks until my next cut! I get it. I finally found a stylist who has my hair type. She gets my trouble spots and quirks now. She will also cut it dry first, blowdrying it straight as my hair shrinks up. That way has worked the best for me and it's never too short.

[@lorileew2337]

SAME HERE, Justin thank you for your always great advice. Your makeover you did and WON for your Make Over Competition video looked absolutely amazing 😲.. I don't know if a stacked bob would look good on me my hair is thinning because of meds I'd like a combo Rachel haircut bob and a little Shag haircut but I'm nervous. If I don't like it it will grow out a complete Rachel haircut is hard to style according Jennifer Anniston so I have a less shaggy bob instead ..

[@AlwaysLearningtoTeach]

Justin, great suggestions! Been watching all your videos and they are so helpful. I noticed you don’t yet have an episode on styling very thin hair. I would be happy to be a Guinea pig and send in photos to explain the challenges. I am going on 57, bleach/color my own hair and style it daily. I’ve tried every style imaginable but keep coming back to the same style (which I do like) but creates issues such as breakage, etc. Would love to see a thin hair video that doesn’t involve cutting all your hair off. 😂 P.S. Tell your wife she’s a beauty. 😊

I’ll be 55 soon and am just now starting to become annoyed with the greys coming in especially around my face. My stylist has been using this cool herringbone highlight technique that has made a difference. Not sure what I’m going to do if/when the greys completely take over because I have brunette hair (with 3 shades of high and lowlights), fair skin, and hazel eyes. Super light hair including grey completely washes me out, but I’m also very low maintenance (only get my hair cut and highlighted every 3 months). It’s going to be an interesting journey 😅

[@WittnerMusic]

One key item that I've never seen addressed during the past several years -- especially amidst the "curtain bang/part down the middle" rage -- is the fact that parting your hair in the middle makes your nose look bigger. This was something that was brought to my attention in the 70's, so I started paying attention, and realized it's true. I stopped doing it immediately. It's funny to me that with all the thousands of current "influencers" and experts out there, no one has ever mentioned it. It's so obvious. So in addition to implementing your rule that a middle part makes it difficult to create volume, so many women would be amazed at how much more flattering their face would look by a side part. No brainer.

[@stop_and_smell_the_roses]

Middle parts makes the nose look bigger and side parts makes the jaw look bigger. I guess it depends on what feature you want reduced. A few years ago I heard that a side part helps camoflauge facial asymetry. I'm not sure if the side swoop goes toward the side of the more symmetrical side of face or the less symmetrical. Maybe Justin can speak to this?

[@AJ-nw5sn]

Couldn't agree more. Middle parting is very unflattering.

As a friend of mine said as growing hers out " I am not 40 any more."

[@shelley37]

It sounds to me like you are a lot more comfortable, and confident in your natural hair, which in turn will make you look younger. I think that’s the key - rocking what you’ve got! I’ve seen so many ‘before & afters’ of women who let their hair go natural, and yes, they look different, but most don’t look older, and I think most look better. I know it wasn’t my opinion you were seeking! Just throwing my 2 cents in there!

[@georgiafrye2815]

@@shelley37 I agree that grey hair doesnt mean o.k. you are old. If a woman is attractive she will still be pretty. I think the key is to wear make up and make some changes. It is easy to look washed out and that is aging. I have softened my lipstick and avoid drab clothing. The browns, tans, bridges do not work like when my hair was brown. Thank you for your input.

[@Dogandcatmom51]

I’ve had more people tell me I look good since I’ve stopped dying my hair. They don’t mention my hair. They just say I look good. I think it’s because my dyed hair always looked fake even though I went to high end salons. I feel more comfortable and happy with my natural color.

[@kelleywoods5244]

I'm 57 with only a tiny amount of grey. I have my hair foiled and I remember a couple of years ago, my hairdresser used the wrong coloured toner which meant my hair looked too ashy/grey. I didn't realize till I looked in the mirror at home in the daylight.... OMG what a nasty shock!! 😂 Luckily the toner washed out quite quickly, but that day I realized that I will never let myself go grey.... some people just don't suit it at all. My two friends that are the same age as me are completely grey, and I know this sounds conceited but they look nearly 10 years older than me. I just wish we could move away from idea that once women reach a certain age they should cut their hair and let themselves go grey. If that's what some want then fair enough, but it's not for everyone and in fact can age certain people instantly. Do whatever makes you feel good ❤

I luv City Beauty products! Ty for the discount code. Everything u mentioned is absolutely correct & plays a part on yr hair texture, etc. when u reach Menopause. I have very long curly hair it’s coily. Long layers. I have an oval face. Olive skin tone. I’m now getting some “greys around the sides & top of my head.” My hair color is dark brown. I use to do foil highlights but I don’t like the damage to my hair n it does hide the grey. But, it’s a lot of upkeep. I usually where my hair blow out n it’s super shinny n looks twice as long. I’m 55 yrs old. I love long hair. I wear a part on the left side & flip my hair like a “Farah Faucet look” I like feathered back not towards my face. I have tons of volume n very thick hair. I do sometimes part in middle. As I can get away with either style. Curly I try to hide the part. So I have to explain to my hairstylist how to trim the layers so that when it’s “curly” it doesn’t look like big mushroom bush. Do u recommend a “U-cut in the back? Or a “V-cut in the back? Due to having the long curly hair past my back of my bra strap but very thick n healthy. I rarely use heat tools. Maybe twice a month. If curly I let air dry. I only use Paraben n Sulfate free Shampoo n Conditioner. I luv yr videos! I’m new to yr channel. Ty so much for yr insight. Please do more on curly hair even though I love it straight more often I still need the cut to focus on my curls n how they land especially the layers n in the back. Much appreciated! ❤❤

Great shape, fun colors, different looks. When I had to find a stylist other than...well, it's been difficult and frustrating. Just to get a good shape 🙏 and I look around and everyone walks out looking the same😑 plus so many "stylists" don't come up with creative ideas. I know, it's tricky. People can be very locked in to what they think looks good. Hence the hesitation to offer something different. I too let my hair grow out and was doing my color as well. 🤫 I have fine curly hair and finally cut it myself. I wear scarves, etc. so i wasn't going to freak if it was horrible. I'm an excellent camouflager! But low and behold my hair looks just like a "do" I used to pay for. It's not bad if I do say so and I'm very judgie. Anyway, the search/solution goes on.

My faceshape has always been "round" but now after losing the weight It may be a different shape and I'm not really sure where to start My mom and grandmother had thin hair as they aged but I am told that extreme weightloss also causes hair thinning.

[@sherryarant4211]

Whew right now my hair is definitely wearing me! I lost my hair to chemo 2 years ago, but the hair that is coming back is extremely thick and wiry. Curly in come spots but mostly just kind of kinky/wiry. It's taken me 2 years to get my hair to grow to my collar bone, but the top layers are much shorter. I am still taking an oral chemo drug, but the newest 2 inches is more flat and straight. I really want to continue to grow it, but am thinking of cutting it shorter just to get rid of some of the w worst hair. I am afraid if J do get it cut, then it will just be equally as unruly but shorter. I think your video has great advice!

[@JulieNick28]

It’s a struggle! I lost all of mine to chemo in 2019 but mine came back thinner and finer. I’ve kept it short for the most part but last fall mine developed a weird kink. It’s now gone thankfully but our hair seems to change over the first 3 years after. With mine shorter I’m struggling to find a hairstylist that can give me the right cut without looking older than my 52 years 😂😂 I finally scheduled an appt with someone in the city that seems to know more about styling you, not just cutting your hair. I hope so anyway!

[@denisedorsey2889]

My post chemo hair did eventually get better. But it’s been 15 years now. It used to be very straight and now, even all these years later, there’s a definite wave to it that I never had before. I’m embracing the difference. I think if you can stand it, continue to let it grow out. The added weight of it almost helps straighten it a bit. Then go ahead and have the worst cut when you decide on a style/shape. I hope your chemo treatment did the trick and you won’t have to go through that again. ❤

[@Bees123Knees]

My best friend finished chemo a few years ago. All her life she had long, almost straight hair but when it grew back it was wiry and curly. It didn't suit her at all but I'd never say it. Now a couple years later her hair is long and almost straight again and she looks like herself. So don't lose hope, the most important thing is you (& my friend) are alive ❤❤❤!

Something great for the dry texture of gray hair is a diy coconut oil spray. Just take some filtered water (1/2 a cup?) and a teaspoon (or tablespoon, to preference) coconut oil, and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Put it in a little mister spray bottle and shake it up. Warm it in a glass full of hot water when you take your shower. Afterward, spray it on wet hair (don't forget your scalp if you have a dry scalp) and comb it through. Blow dry as usual. I came across this and it's worked wonders for frizzy gray hair. Cheap, easy, and non-toxic and works miracles.

I agree with what you said about women's hair--a little constructive criticism: You might want to trim your facial hair so that it doesn't look like it is going into your nose and into your mouth. It would be a cleaner look and more hygienic.

👏👏👏👏 excelent this is the second vídeo that i whatched from the canal and became a big fan already! thank you!

[@sometimeswrite239]

I always appreciate your content. And. We need to change this culture from declaring aging to be bad. Enough already. It’s a form of prejudice. If an individual prefers to do things to not look like they are aging, great. But especially women are treated as less than as we age.

[@SweetZuni]

As always, I learn so much from your videos and I always look forward to them. Thank you!! 😊😊

Thank you so much!! That’s awesome to hear! I appreciate the support!

Long hair here....I am loving it.❤

[@drmwvrsquilts]

I love your videos, but the problem for some of us is, finding the hairstylist that can actually do a decent job, never mind a really fabulous job. I must live in no man's land with regard to hairstylists. Every one I've been to in the last 12 years has been somewhere between mediocre and just plain terrible. Do you have any suggestions about finding a great stylist? Any questions to ask, things to look for?

[@JanineMJoi]

Oh man, color. My hair grows 3/4 inch a MONTH. Coloring gets expensive even doing it myself. But I NEED color bc as an ash blonde I look sucky in gray. I think I'll just color the roots around my face and call it good. First impressions yanno. AND, ty for telling about the long hair parted in the middle with layers, kills any height needed. I'll have to watch your other vids to figure out how to combat that before I cut my long, thick, heavy, hair

[@amykolstee5212]

The 1st mistake stood out to me the most. I have been growing out my hair ( at 56 yrs. old ive never really grown it long, so would like to now) I do have bangs, but I do feel like I don't have any shape. My hair has always been paper straight. Its one length ( besides the bangs). It is a little past my shoulders. I have thin hair, but alot of it. After watching this, I may have to ask my stylist about "shape", this was another great video!

[@justinhickox]

Yes, thank you so much! You are spot on. That’s something that a lot of people fall into. It’s easy to want to grow your hair out but having a shape in mind can be really helpful. Definitely talk to your stylist about shaping the length for you, so that you have a style versus just having longer hair.

[@amykolstee5212]

I'm looking back at this, and I ended up having my hair cut short with some layers and I love it! My hair now has shape and a little style. Its amazing what ther right cut will do!

[@thenightporter]

Your wife is so down-to-earth and fun, on top of being a natural beauty! It is so nice to see a woman without fillers and plastic surgery. Wish my brows looked like that. Does she have her own channel? Would love to follow her beauty tips. 🙂

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

I’ve used your advice to have my hair cut into a bixie by a new hairdresser and I went prepared. She cut it ok but there was still too much bulk on the sides which made it look “blockish” as opposed to sleek. Oh well. Live and learn. I’ll be more specific next time. Thank you for these videos. They’re a huge help.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Good luck. You can tell a stylist but she can’t do what she doesn’t know how and she’ll never say words like, “ I don’t know how to do that”. Short hair takes more hair skills and I haven’t met him or her yet. Mind you, I haven’t tried often but I don’t need the train wreck.

[@nnanette]

I’m growing mine out from a pixie (huge mistake) now. It’s a nightmare! I’m almost completely gray, and this helped me understand which direction to go. Thank you!

[@justinhickox]

It was a nightmare because you didn’t like the cut or you don’t like the grow out phase?

[@pjk1714]

That's a shame. With a good partnership, your stylist can phase the shape to look presentable until you reach your goal. I've had some that didn't get it. That's when I find one that does. It's painful otherwise.

[@nancyandersen615]

Hang in there. Have been growing mine out from a pixie (which a stylist thought I meant when I said short) and it is finally grown out to bottom of my ears and beginning to come together. Have battled with it for months.

No mention of men. Because men are allowed to age without the societal pressures put on women. Ladies, who cares what your hair looks like. If you love it, that’s all that matters. You are always beautiful!

[@kennethbutzer4467]

I’ve been a hairstylist for a very long time when I started retail wasn’t so much a priority as it is today. Today most salon owners keep writing their stylists to sell more products problem with that at least for me was that if you carry a lot of products and you’re supposed to continually Sell products to your clients every time they may come in you start to lose credibility as their stylist. Watching this video I was just curious to perhaps learn some things that I didn’t know only to find out that the middle of the video is all about selling products, so I guess I haven’t learned anything new.

[@ednaking956]

I've even changed salons because I didn't want to listen to their sales pitch about their over priced products.

[@jennyhohmann4384]

Also, a lot of older women with dark hair go much lighter and that often looks washed out and aging.

[@tumblingrosesstudio]

Stylists where I live won't design a style anymore, the will only give you the cut you show them in a photo, even expensive places!!

[@mikeboothe]

To me I really like the suggestion to tell the stylist what feature of your face and hair that bothers you and the 2 of you can figure out the best style for you. I’ve been watching your videos a few weeks since I found you and I really love them. I have a suggestion to reduce the background music in your videos. Once you began talking about color the sound was about right. Thanks! -Susan

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much for that insight! I really appreciate it. Music is definitely the hardest part to get right for me when it comes to these videos. I’m really glad you’re liking the contact. I appreciate the support.

[@JustChillingOnTattoine]

The bad example you used for curtain bangs, actually makes me want yo cut curtain bangs. quite the opposite effect, I would say😂

[@TheFiown]

I have been cutting my own hair for years now and finally have a style that I love and suits me and believe me I have been to lots of hairdressers, I used to work in fashion. I have very dense hair growth, one hairdresser said over twice the 'normal' implantation. I do a shoulder length cut then layer it up with thinning scissors to take out the end volume. I don't have a fringe, I'm 66 not 16 and I have grown out my white and grey hair after being pushed to doing so by various collegues in fashion. My hair is much better quality since I've stopped dying it. I never blow dry my hair or style it, I twist it up tight when almost dry with a strong clip and keep doing so for a few days and it gives it a lovely curly style. I also only wash my hair every ten days as I don't have greasy hair or dandruff or itchy scalp. I did try to wash it often when shamed by stupid people and I had terrible problems with itch and dandruff and it looked terrible. Now I listen to me and my hair.

[@jeanneh6361]

I'm a young 59. I haven't changed my cut in 40 years except to let my fringe grow out. Since covid, I cut it at home; one inch off the bottom. It's fine and thin with a little wave at the nape. I put clips by my ears to give the illusion of more hair or bangs. I've had bad haircuts. When I went to the salon, they would use a detangler, which made any body I had disapear. If I blow dry it with a brush to smooth it, the hair breaks. My hair will hold a curl for a half an hour. I constantly battle static. When it's really bad, I put it up in a clip. I feel I'm in this hair style with no options.

[@kirstybrown5212]

My hair is pretty long - almost down to my butt. I'm 60. I can't be bothered with short hair, having to do it properly every day, so my hair is always up in a bun. I'm starting to get some wisdom highlights. These video's are pretty good, but makes me question what I can do!!

[@francinejones2524]

I hate the grey hair. It ages people by 10 years at least. I do not want to look 50 when I’m only 40. Why would I?? I will always colour my hair even when I’m 80 years old. THANK YOU!

I agree 2000 percent. For everyone who thinks their husband will accept the gray color… think again!! Men hate gray hair, sadly.

[@shelleywallace1228]

I just ran across some hair styles called “hush” which are texturized and layered lightly, with fringe around the face… coming from Taiwan influence? I just loved some and for sure am considering doing that yo my hair if I can find a stylist who knows how. Can you look into that cut and maybe talk about how it’s different from the shag cut. It’s similar but not the same. Would love to see what you think!! 🤩

Oh, and my hair is a super short pixie, so I don’t use a whole lot of product!

There is nothing better for anti-aging than Tretinoin. Tretinoin is very affordable now where as all of those beauty products cannot do half of what Tretinoin does.

[@crazydiamond4565]

I love your advice however it ends with your videos when most of us go to our "stylist" The majority of them including mine, would not know how to tell me what looks best. I have tried many salons including the fancy expensive ones. Most of them want to see a picture. Then they tell you your hair will never look like that. Then they don't give additional feedback like you do. So what's a woman to do? I am in the category of long gray grow out with no shape. Bangs grown out to under chin. I want to get a cut that I like but I'm scared to death because it's never turned out right. I'm 64 with an oval face but want to hide my hereditary chicken neck. 😩

[@justinhickox]

Thank you! I totally hear your concern. I wish a had a simple answer to this. Unfortunately I don't. The best thing I can do is try to arm you with as much knowledge as I can to help you understand what and why things work/don't work for you. I have made couple videos in the past about how to fins a stylist. I'm not sure if you've had a chance to check those out but they could have some valuable insight for you.

(I have a long pixie) After trying so many products I discovered this product from you-Thank you-other products leave my hair oily looking, weigh my hair down or just don’t hold. I found the 3 questions to ask your self when going for a pixie cut, or in my mind any cut, helpful. A great way to figure out a hair cut/style.

[@jolynbranch1211]

Hi, Justin. I recently lost my long time stylist when she moved away. Since then I’ve had three haircuts, all of them bad. Do you have any advice on how to find a good stylist, maybe some questions to ask before booking an appt, and how to work with someone new. My old stylist, who had cut my hair for over 30 years was awesome and I always thought her super power was listening. Other people seem to listen and then they proceed to do something different than what I asked for.🤷🏼‍♀️ And of course, after all those years, my stylist understood my hair and knew exactly what it would and wouldn’t do. She became a dear friend and I miss her on so many levels! Any advice you can share would be so appreciated, because clearly my efforts aren’t working. Thanks!

[@cheryl7784]

I just ordered the City Beauty Moisturizer… I have heard so much about it and I’m looking forward to giving it a try. Thank you for providing such a generous discount code!

Honest and intelligent advice. So few hairstylists who are this astute though.

I feel the need to add another reason for putting skincare on the back of your hand is any excess that you rub in is having the same effect on hands, protecting and moisturising them too. Please remember an SPF on top xxx

Hey Cath There’s one hair style I like in here Take a look

[@jamievaduva1708]

I feel like I have the weirdest combination of features. I have a long, thin face and longer hair with layers, I have curtain bangs and generally I hear part your hair on the side for a long face but I find parting it in the middle suits me better. My layers (lots of waves) help me to add much needed volume on the sides. I definitely don’t need volume at the top of my head. I like to lift my roots because they tend to be flat. But I’m definitely one of those that needs volume at the sides.

[@justinhickox]

Absolutely! You’re not off on that at all. For a longer face, curtain bangs can be great because it automatically creates an it more volume through the sides. Keep in mind though, while you may not need volume on top, having a bit of extra volume around/above your temples can go a long way to accentuating more cheekbones and lifting the face.

[@jamievaduva1708]

@@justinhickox definitely! I work so hard to diffuse my roots and I use root powder to get volume up around the temples. So I don’t just have volume at my cheeks. That’s my biggest hair challenge actually!

[@sarandaperez3923]

I know I will get much hate for my opinion because it is becoming so popular right now...but going grey will definitely take a toll on your youthful appearance. I see it around me all the time, and the women start looking older as soon as they don't colour their hair anymore. Of course, they still look amazing and sophisticated and everything, but not necessarily younger that their biological age anymore. I totally respect anyone who goes for this but it would never be for me. I will dye until I die ;)))
