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!
