  • I styled my hair like this for a recent photo shoot and got so many compliments on it I had to re-create it! Here's how I did it. This style is best for fine hair that is a bob. For longer or thicker hair, you could probably skip the added hairpiece.

    I appreciate the fact that she's so down to earth and tells us how she uses "blushes" for example, as both blush and eye shadow. She shows very basic and easy ideas, that everyone can do.
    Thanks for all your great tips and different recommendations on products one gets at the drug store. Not products most people can't afford. Keep it up. You are helping ALOT if us who have make up but don't know what to do with it!

    Two things. First, thank you for making all of us feel more normal while we're aging and still have that "Girl" factor :-) Second. As with all aging and busy lives, it's nice to have a video if you forget how to do it next time :-) God Bless and let's all keep our backs to the wind! Plus! There is a product I use called "Style Edit" comes in many colors. It hides the scalp lines and covers thinner spots, also stays in until you wash it out...Happy Life!

    I think you’re a hoot! I love your saying “Stop a bird in flight hairspray!” Which will replace my own saying “I’m single handily depleting the ozone layer!” Love your “real life” tutorial for “real life” hair lol, and your relaxed attitude. I was going to cut my hair today after growing out a short length bob and growing my fringe longer. Since seeing you I’m keeping it! I was of the misconception that as you get older you won’t suit longer hair but you have proved that with a little effort ( which I always put into my hair and appearance ) you can look stunning. Well, not as stunning as you but passable. I’m a girlie girl that likes to look feminine every day with make up and matching accessories but if my hair doesn’t “feel” right I don’t “feel” right. I suppose felt I was loosing my identity ( my hair IS me ) and I’ve realised I’m STILL me just because I’m older and getting grey I just need to embrace it. Go girl! That hair piece is genius because I like that height at the crown and sometimes you feel even superglue wouldn’t hold it so it was a 💡moment for me. Thank you heaps. Absolutely love your photo shoot pictures you have such a natural beauty from the inside out! Hugs💐

  • @Moufflette

    My hair is very fine to start with and also gray. I listened to this video just before leaving on vacation. I ordered a hair piece on Amazo by PrettyWit for 17.99 because I wanted it to arrive before I left. Otherwise, several others sell it for less. It matched my hair perfectly. I followed most of your instructions, and the result was great for a special outing we had in Cuba. It held even if we were whirling down the highway at some point, sitting in a open top Cadillac - quite a thrill at 63! Merci Monique! By the way, here's a tip: I started taking biotine a few years back as part of a supplement for diabetes, and realized that the places that were going slightly bald on each side of my head (genetic) were very gradually filling out! I did some research, and realized that it's the biotine. I stopped those supplements, too expensive, but continued taking biotine 3000 to 5000 unit/day. It's not costly, found in all pharmacies and health food stores. The "awful" effects - it boosts hair, eyelashes, nail and body hair growth. Well my nails are long and hard, manucured or not; my hair isn't thinning anymore. It will not thicken it by much but makes it so that you stop the thinning out and fills out the balding spots. As for the body hair, since it gets fewer anyway as we get older, it's no problem. So there, I'm not getting anything out of it, I thought you might like the tip from experience for thinning hair. Bonne journée!

    Thanks for this great tutorial Monique! I, too, have silver hair and I have been using these hair scrunchies to create an updo for a while now....these scrunchies seem to be one of the very few hair accessories I can find in silver...wish they would make more in silver:). Have you tried using two scrunchies for an updo? Just put the first one wrapped as usual around your pony tail or bun. Then, stretch the second one over the messy bun you created ... don't double it. It makes a really nice lush messy bun updo. I likes your use of the "bump" accessory, too! I need to get one!

    You make me feel like I could create a classic do. Love your videos!
    My mom had a long hair piece, braided it, then pinned it, almost turbaned style, to the top of her crown. (C.1970-1973) She was the prettiest sister of seven girls, when her hair was up. She passed away, at 39, from lupus.
    I always wanted to try that style, but I'm not sure how to give it a modern look.
    Do you know what style that I am talking about and would you be able to do it?
    Whether you are able to or not, thank you for your very helpful advice and tutorials.
    Have a great day.

    I’m a hair stylist and your video was fun and funny and you look wonderful whatever age you are. Loved it. I have all kinds of hair pieces but my red is hard to match. I keep trying. Your grey is stunning !
