LONG Hair Over 50 | My Hair Care Routine!

[@kennianamonje2381]

I disagree with people who say older women should not have long hair! Every woman should do what makes her happy. Angie you have beautiful hair! You are a beautiful woman!😘 I have very fine hair. I use too hate my thin hair but now I have accepted my hair.😀

[@accesstotheredcarpet]

Exactly. I’m 52 and have very long dark brown hair and I’m not even grey yet. Not close. Lol I’ve seen silver women have beautiful long hair. It’s gorgeous 😍

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Thank you Kenniana! My hair is naturally fine & like you, I used to listen to people who said I had to keep it short so it would look fuller...

I have very fine hair too but by growing it all longer it feels and looks thicker than when I had it cut into many layers. I don’t blow dry my hair and almost never use curling iron on it and it is sooo much better.

Amen! I'm 80 and I remember when my Mother hit her forties that she started dressing "her age" and keeping her hair very short and I wondered why. Not me! Everyone thinks I'm in my sixties and I just smile and say thank you. I like to wear my hair to my shoulders and will continue. Always enjoy your posts!

[@trishac9516]

I feel the same way! I am 75 and my hair is right below my collar bone. I also cannot stand it when people tell you how to dress at a certain age. Most people think I am in my early 60's, too. I dress very modern and even trendy, but I'm not trying to look 20!

[@rebeccawebb2298]

I look at pics of my husband's female relatives from the 1960s and 1970s and I cannot believe they are only in their forties. They look so matronly! But I know they were "dressing their age".

[@KaraLey98]

@@rebeccawebb2298 but you see those are still pictures and a still picture of you may not look as good as you think either.

Hair gets naturally thinner as ppl age. , around 40+ Many women are proud of their long hair as they age, but after a certain length it is stringy and thin and wispy and it just does not look good, in fact often it's awful unless it's in a ponytail or worn up.

I went to a blues festival yesterday and so many women over 60 had beautiful long hair, all textures and types. It's so encouraging to feel that we are moving into a freedom time where not everyone over 60 has to look the same. I'm 61 and will never have a short hairdo. Great video!

[@HeavenNY]

We never had to conform to any rules society had put out there about age and hair length. The thing is a lot of woman get old and lazy. They go and tell the hairstylist to please cut their hair short because they don’t want to have to bother too much with it anymore. Imagine that? At a time in life when they probably have more free time than ever, they don’t want to spend a small amount of time on their hair. That will never be me.

[@lisaschooler9992]

I think long hair looks fabulous on older women personally! People should wear their hair the way they want to. That being said though - even looking at it analytically - I also love short hair on younger women (And being in my mid 50s, I often envy it a little bit!) Short hair, if full and feminine, really sets off a youthful jaw line, good skin, shoulders, and body more confidently than long hair in many cases. I miss being able to wear my hair shorter like I did in my 30s, LOL. However - I felt short hair is definitely more work - does either a really good hair day or a really bad hair day. Having almost shoulder length hair definitely allows for more flexibility and quick touchups more so than a chin length bob did, LOL. Speaking for myself though - I’m wondering if some of the older women might cut hair shorter due to arthritis concerns. I’m in my mid 50s, and just within the past 12 months my osteoarthritis has increased exponentially. Thankfully, my wrists don’t have it yet, but my fingers and my ability to write or grasp has gone down by 50% just within the past year or so. That could be a factor why some women want to change their grooming routine maybe.

[@Abby-cn9my]

I am 57 years old and at the suggestion of my hairstylist I let my hair grow out. I love it! I refuse to get into the old lady box. I’ve also been told to “stop trying to look young”. I just do what’s best for me. I absolutely LOVE your hair!!!!!

I'm still coloring it, but considering going white over the winter just to see what it's like. If I hate it, I'll change it because it's my choice!

I went natural in my early 40’s because of allergy to dye. I had so much grief over it at first. Now I get people stopping me all the time to compliment my hair. I get young women wanting to know how I got it dyed this way. Lol one thing with natural hair is it is your own. No one else is going to have your color and that is the BEST thing about it. My hair is long and always will be!

[@donnahiggins3500]

I’m 70 years old and my hair is natural gray, I mean silver!😂. I had an allergic reaction to dye a few years ago and was told by my dermatologist that I could not color my hair anymore because it could be dangerous. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It is also long and I constantly get compliments which I greatly appreciate. Your hair is beautiful and so healthy looking.

[@brendaw.7597]

One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen was a southern lady in her eighties with elegant waist-length white hair. So striking! Sadly, her own daughters convinced her she was too old to wear her hair long, because it just wasn’t socially acceptable. As a result, this elegant lady was no longer easy to locate in a crowd, but instead simply blended in with all the other elderly grey and white headed women. Wear YOUR hair anyway that makes you happy ladies, and ignore the fashion police who have their own agendas, which has nothing to do with you.

[@chiefswife1212]

Ridiculous!

[@TrinaGallo]

That’s a travesty! NO ONE could influence me to cut mine! I’m hopefully gonna be like that lady- when it was long! I have 1/3 white, waist length, but I’m so scared it’ll get thin and look terrible!

I am 78 and for the first time since my teens,my hair is long. When we went through the pandemic, it was necessary to let it grow. That’s not the case any more but I love having long hair. I never wear it down when I go out because it’s definitely not appealing. But I do wear it up in different ways. It’s thin so I have to work with it and even wear hair pieces. I’m finally old enough to do what I want and this is what I want. One thing I’ve discovered at my age - people (strangers included) are hesitant to criticize me now. I like me. Finally.

As a 67-year-old, I am so thrilled that my generation has broken through the unwritten rule that states any woman over 40 years old has to wear short hair. Any time I see a woman over 50 with long hair, I have great admiration for her and feel a sense of pride in "my" generation. I, too, wear my hair shoulder length and have no intentions of cutting it any time soon. Thanks, Angie, for being a great role model for us!

[@JuliasHairJourney]

It was really just a rule created in the last century. My great-grandmother had long hair to her knees that she wore up until she passed away in 1963. Plenty of women have just always done their own thing, which is my motto.

[@florenna]

I wasn't even aware there was an unwritten rule like that! ;) In any case, what a silly rule. And yes, pre-1920's basically *all* women wore their hair very long (by today's standards), no matter what their age, it was just usually in an updo of some kind.

[@JuliasHairJourney]

@@florenna It seems to be how a lot of women felt, even up until recent times. I even got flack being a younger woman when I started growing my hair out, and no longer went to the salon to get trendy haircuts. I decided I just am not interested in following the crowd, but yes, before the 1920s most women did have long hair. I think some of the anti-long hair is a sentiment of that generation rebelling against previous social norms. The problems arise when women are not supportive of other women wanting to style their hair how they wish.

Age is just numbers,as long as the hair is in good condition and the style and colour are age appropriate, I think mature women look fabulous with long hair, it usually makes them look younger to

Cutting your hair shorter as an older woman is a very old mindset. I remember my grandmother and mother saying the same thing. I believe it's been a belief carried down over several generations. The funny thing about me (I'm 55) is my hair was always short when I was young, by choice. After the age of 40, I started to let it grow longer. :) No regrets!

My mom and grandma had short hair, but my great grandma had waist length long hair she kept up in a bun. I though short hair started as an act of modern rebellion in the 1920's? Either way, long or short now, I agree with Angie and you that it's up to the individual woman.

Angie & friends… I am with you 1,000,000%! You need to do you, with grace, style, and confidence, and don’t let anyone limit you or define you! Classic age discrimination. Shame on them! You rock!!!

[@alisonsmith8919]

Thank you! I love your confidence! I'm 47 (almost 48!) and am struggling with the aging process. I watch your videos as a reminder that aging IS beautiful! You have so many great tips and advice on skincare that you are my Go-To for any skincare recommendations as well as makeup for aging skin. Thank you for doing what you do!!

[@mrs.g.6946]

I think your long hair is beautiful. I'm a 50+ woman who could care less what anybody thinks of my long hair. I grew it out during the pandemic, and to my surprise it actually grew. I'm beginning to get areas of thinning, and I know others who have lost their hair during menopause. Heck! I'm grateful to have hair at my age. Keep doing YOU!

[@alisueblogs9029]

I'm 52 and only have short hair because I underwent chemotherapy. Now my hair is back I'm growing it long and I will not be bound by other people's expectations of what a 50+ woman should look like! I'm going to fully enjoy whatever grabs my fancy in terms of length, style and colour! Xx

Thanks for the “you do what makes you feel pretty” pep talk. We all need to cheer each other on OFTEN! How many days do you go before washing again?

Amen Sister! You are speaking my language as usual. I am almost 56 and I have had people tell me they like my hair longer, so I am going to keep growing it. Thank you for blazing the trail.

I super appreciate your comment on having long hair over 50. I’m 51 & have red hair a little shorter then yours & I absolutely love it! Thanks!

[@biancabulloch1160]

Well said Angie! You have inspired me to grow my hair longer at 50 when most women my age have the requisite shoulder length. No more boxes! 😊

[@SJB25]

My mother had long hair over age 50. She would set it in pin curls and it always looked fabulous. Everyone loved her long hair. I just turned 47 and my hair is a few inches past my shoulders. I have zero plans of cutting it short, ever! Not everyone looks good in shorter hair, regardless of their age. I've seen women my age that cut their hair short and it aged them about 15 years!

[@AllyKit]

You have always reminded me of Jane Seymour. She is a timeless beauty. The Dyson paddle brush attachment is my favorite too. ❤️ I used to curse my curly hair but now that it is thinning, I agree that any hair is a blessing 🌸

[@mommajan1]

I agree with Your philosophy! long hair looks great on you! wear what makes you feel good and confident. I was a nurse in a breast cancer clinic and patients going thru chemo often lost their hair. With a bit of make up and some cute earrings they made bald look fabulous.

[@Sunny-ry2cj]

Hi Angie, I don't understand why so many people take the time to look for a negative or a fault in someone, we all have them. Many wonderful personalities, kindness, and love comes when we open our hearts to strangers, and find the good they share. I find Angie as a wonderful, kind, caring good person, she needs to change nothing about herself. Your hair is beautiful. Hugs, Sunny

[@itsjustme7979]

I’m pushing 60 and keep my hair in a stylish above the shoulders cut. It’s wavy and very thick and so much easier for me to deal with. I’m not good with the round brush and blow dryer either and use the Revlon hair dryer brush when I want it nice and smooth. I let it air dry a lot which looks great too. Your hair is beautiful ♥️

[@luticino3094]

Yes, I also noticed how your hair was long and I thought it was cool. I absolutely love your message to all women to diss the old-fashioned rules or what we should and shouldn't do. We are not aging like our parents so why should we still behave like them? On a side note, congratulations on how you take care of your body to keep it healthy and beautiful. I also think you pair it nicely with a youthful style and personality. You inspire me, and I think you are absolutely gorgeous inside and out, regardless of how many candles were on your last birthday cake.

[@loritaylor383]

Angie, I subscribed to your videos yesterday. You changed my mind about long hair for over 50! Your hair is gorgeous and I love it. I always love when my mind is changed about things!!! I can't wear long hair but---thank you for all of your advice

I remember meeting a older woman,in her 80's and she had the most amazing long hair. I was in my early 20's and I remember telling her that when I'm her age those will be my hair goals. I'm in my early 50's and I say I'll be 90 with long blonde hair!

This is kinda random but I’m grateful for Kim Kardashian because she’s early 40’s and living her best life.

[@KaraLey98]

Alexandria you are so right nobody is shaming older women for having long hair. But look at all the statements everyone who wants to talk about how long her hair is and her age first talks about the rules and how they are being forced on older women and that's their intro for talking about their long hair, you see?

[@mcd5478]

Amen Sister! ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Nobody needs to tell us how to wear our hair and how to dress! Because of Covid I ended up growing my hair very long, let it stay it’s natural color (silvery gray), cut it myself into long layers and amazingly, at age 62, I’ve gotten more compliments on my hair than I ever have in my whole life! Loved this video! 💕💖💕

[@Helenwpower64]

Love your attitude. Thank you for being bold. Your hair is gorgeous. I have had very shot hair since I was in my thirties, I am now 57. I am about to undergo a stem cell transplant and will lose all my hair. I have decided that when it grows back I am going to go for it and grow it long. Your video has encouraged me to give it a go and break out of the societal expectations that tell older women, we can’t have long hair. To that I say “blah” Thank you 🙏🙂

[@susanhemme8465]

I realize this particular video is several months old, but girl.....I have the EXACT same type of hair....all the way down the the cowlicks...even same side! Up until the last two years, I could never grow my hair past my shoulders. My success has mostly come from using Olaplex products. Currently, my hair is about the exact same length as yours, and I'm LOVING it! I have also gone through the same length/age battle. However, I have decided to revel in every inch! Thank you for all you do. Especially helping us more "wise" ladies feel beautiful in these well earned years!

[@judyjascomb7742]

Hey, Angie! I got a good laugh from your video's opening lines....Like you, I had heard the "rule" that women had to cut their hair shorter past a certain age, and I complied - for a while. But, you know what? My hair is super healthy, I feel like "myself" when my hair is long, and I don't give a flying fig what others think. My hair is almost waist- length, and I love it. PS, I just turned 64, and the photo you see of me is fairly recent. Haha, if someone has a problem with it, they can 'pound sand' as you so elequently stated...! More power to you, Angie!

As a European it was beyond me what do they mean by “short hair after 50.” I still don’t understand… that is sooo absurd to me. I also heard another stupid rule about white jeans. You can’t wear them in the winter?? Huh?? I love all white in the winter. Who came up with those? 🤣🤣 and who the hell follows them? 🤣 Angie, you are fabulous 💙

[@greenknitter]

I'm European also and don't understand these strange rules in the US either 😂 no-one would dare criticise a woman for the length of her hair in my country. We have our hair the length we want it no matter our age. US beauty standards are extreme and very conservative.

[@rsivkova]

@@greenknitter this is hilarious to me. I’m not sure if those rules are “conservative” or just ignorant and foolish 🤣 it’s not even in the category of “braking the rules” because those are imaginary non-existent, mindless … I don’t know what it is 🤣 maybe limiting beliefs of limited people

I am a guy but you are right. You can only control yourself, not other people. People are jealous over things they cannot obtain. They get not because 1) They ask not; and 2) If they do ask and do not receive ot is because , they ask wrongly if that makes any sense. My wife dresses in hippie chick fashion with long blond hair people cannot believe she is the age she says she is.

[@aliciamullaney6634]

I am 55 and have been growing my hair out since Corona, not one haircut since Feb. 2020. I only blowdry my hair once per week, the other two times per week I let it dry naturally. The best thing that has helped me grown my hair long without haircuts has been using coconut oil on my hair twice per week, those oil days i braid my hair in one long braid down my back (I get so many compliments on my braid days). The oil has stopped me from getting split ends. I also use a collagen supplement everyday that i put in my coffee. I plan to get my first haircut in November. I have always thought it was so beautiful to see women over 50 with one well done lose braid, think Ralph Lauren ad campaign.
