As we continue to age, you will notice the different changes going on with your hair. The first thing associate with getting older is gray hair…and then perhaps thinning or premature balding. Whether or not you are experiencing these things, you can still have style. Getting older doesn’t equal BORING. Choosing the right style to fit your face, age and lifestyle is important at any age, but understand the wrong style at an older age can add years to your face. And lets be honest, we need all the help we can get!
Throughout their younger years, women tend to hang onto longer hair for various reasons. Either their husbands or significant other likes it or their lifestyle requires easy ponytail hair. One thing women don’t realize is that longer hair tends to weigh the face down. I’m not saying it needs to be a super short cut, but anything past the shoulders really isn’t very flattering; especially if its in its natural gray state. A lot of senior citizens go for shorter looks, because it’s easier to tend to when they are dealing with medical problems such as arthritis. Holding their arms over their heads for long periods of time, fooling with their hair is usually not an option.
MEN –You are NOT excluded from this conversation.
The old Sean Connery look with the ponytail, really only seemed to work for Sean Connery. So guys don’t be scared to cut that length you are holding onto in the back. If you are balding on top, having length on the back doesn’t make it less noticeable, so embrace it! There are plenty of sexy bald men out there. And if totally bald is a bit much for you, a nice close trim looks just as nice. See your stylist or barber for recommendations.
Good Luck and Mo’Hair!
I live in the Cleveland area and I am trying very hard to find a hair dresser who truly believes in healthy hair and has a growing hand. Any referrals?
ReplyDeleteI dont have any off hand, I dont have many hair contacts since Ive left. But I need more info on the type of hair texture you have in order to make a good recommendation
ReplyDeleteA little history. I have just recently switched from braids this past Nov.(don't worry I kept them up and cut the ends when they were redone:). I was doing pretty good up until Dec 09. I washed my hair (1)day before a relaxer (no I didn't tell the stylist) and I felt every bit of it the next day. I think that may have casued some damage so I have not had a touch up since, I figured I needed to wait at least 6 weeks so my scalp can recover. I were my hair in an up do, I wash and condition it once a week and I done an Aphogee treatment in Jan.2010. I have very soft hair it's not think and it's uneven at the moment. I am trying work on healthy so I keep it up so I don't have to do any flat irons. I also take 5mg of Biotin (1) pill per day. Now what I don't want to do is casue anymore damage by keep it in an updo but I also dont want to go to the shop until I find a good one. My hair at this point has no form to it and it about ear length. What do you suggest?
ReplyDeleteIs your hair gray? Just wondering why you posted in this topic, lol --(if not may I suggest posting under the topic of your issue because it may help others and help me not to have to repost :)
ReplyDeleteBut anyway an updo isnt bad, long as its nothing constricting like rubber bands. Basically you want to treat it and leave it be. Keep getting the treatments and NEVER EVER aggravate your scalp before a chemical service; any chemical service. You hurt your scalp and u wont get full results if the stylist have to rinse it off (and its a waste of product and YOUR MONEY!) --I'll have to research your hairstylist request.. check back and I'll try to have answer for u soon
No it's not lol.. ok thanks
