- Hair mistakes that age you faster but with a twist! In this weeks video I get to talk about some very COMMON mistakes that require MINOR adjustments to create massive changes! This video is episode 20 in a series where I'm randomly selecting one of the subscribers that entered and using them as a model. I use photos they send in to explain potential mistakes that are being made with their hair now and showing examples of styles they could wear that could help them create an even more youthful edge. In this episode we talk about how important volume is in SPECIFIC places to create a more youthful look, if cutting your hair a little shorter is more youthful or if it should be longer! We talk about rectangular face shapes and the best hair length for them as well as what bangs are best. What length should a bob haircut be and should you wear bangs with them? We also hit on how to make hair look thicker and what hair color is best. Many times if you want to look more youthful, it just takes small changes to create a large impact! These hair hacks are small changes that are EASY to make!

So…what do ya think Bonnie should do??? So curious to hear your thoughts!!
Love your suggestions. Side bangs and dark brown with highlights my favorite 🙂
Great suggestions Justin. One of these days I will take photos and send them in for you help and opinions on my hair. Thanks for a great series for us ladies that are always striving to #lookmoreyourthful!
I think the side swept bangs did soften her look.
I agree with your suggestions. Some time I would love to Figure out how my hair would look with a pixie. I put a comment I'm the board already about it
I would recommend Bonnie have softer bangs, possibly more side swept. Also, more fullness on top. Her eyes are amazing!
You know what also makes women "anxious," it's constantly being bombarded with ads and articles telling them what clothes, haircuts, hair color, etc., make them look older, as well as how to make their skin look younger, etc., ad nauseam, but not ever seeing such a focus of concern regarding a man's appearance. Men don't get the same flack for ageing nor the same scrutiny regarding what should be a natural and accepted process.
Hear hear 👏👏👏
Used to be in the 1940's,50's and 60's,women wanted to look older and wiser. Now they've gone backwards, with boobs spilling out, well, in America anyway.
Men get put down for being bald! Horrible! The truth is, many women are attracted to bald, masculine men.
The most important thing is we are comfortable of what we wear, what style we have. Don't care what other say as long as you take a bath everyday, good hygiene all over and loved by our family whatever looks we have.
Menopause's secret silver lining: personally I don't care anymore, I just feel like it's a chore to look presentable
My husband and I have a don’t ask don’t tell policy when it comes to my hair. I don’t ask him what I should do, and he doesn’t tell me what I should do. This policy makes us both happier.
Layer her hair…Sharon
Really ? How do you know for sure ;-)
@@lindamorgan2678 When I ask him what I should do, it stresses him out because what does he know about ladies’ hair. When he tells me what I should do, it makes me mad. We can avoid both those situations by staying mum on the subject. He can still compliment me when I’m having a good hair day, and I can still grumble when I’m having a bad hair day, we just avoid the advice area.
@@debbielee7117AAAAmen!!
Very wise.
“The most beautiful thing a woman can wear is confidence.” -Blake Lively
Love, love, love this quote!!
@@docannedc Easy to do when you look like Blake Lively.😊 Actually a great quote.
Wish some hairdressers would practice this before they send you out in the world with awful cuts and they (and cohorts) swear are gorgeous after paying $150.
Yes, Irish Rowe, I agree. I also think that age should not be hidden, but worn with dignity.
But a good haircut always helps 😅
I guess this is "kind of" about age, but honestly I think it's more about looking your best at any age. She simply looks better with the changes you suggested. She's glowing and looks like the best version of herself. And isn't that what we ALL want from our hairstylist?
Thank you Kristy! You’re definitely not wrong. Most of the tips I share in this series are about looking better at any age but with that said, the tips I share are definitely rounded in concerns that tend to happen as we age and at a younger age I would make slight shift to my suggestions many times. I totally hear where you’re coming from and really appreciate it.
At 59, I appreciate any/all tips! Thanks Justin
I’ve been watching you for the first time and I will return. You’re a real, honest, person and I get a great feeling of trust in accepting your suggestions and you do a wonderful presentation in honoring the women you are helping. Thank you!
I've been a hairstylist for 44 years and I must say "spot on"!! I would go with all the decisions you recommend for her!! Your recommendations would open up her beautiful face to the world!! ❤ I enjoyed your video very much!! Great explanations to the "whys" of our profession!
Hello Diane how are you doing today
Fun 🤩 but really there’s nothing wrong with looking older. Embracing yourself at any age is beautiful
Being older doesn’t mean you have to look frumpy.
I agree with that fully but VC also think that whatever look makes one feel really good is great!😊😊😊😊. For background info i sm 58 and let my hair go grey (salt and pepper) and wear it really short. I feel great with that and making an effort to wear lilacs and deep pinks for tops also helps in these warmer months!😊😊😊😊
I love gray hair; it is just another color.
Nope. Rage, RAGE against the dying of the light! Look good, feel good.
But why not try to get a more appropriate hairstyle for your face shape?
As a woman-of-a-certain age.... I SO appreciate all these tips, Justin! Thank you!!
Hello Barb how are you doing today
About 10 years ago I stopped dying my hair - I was never happy with it anyway especially since my grey roots would show after less than a week. I have kept it in a pixie cut ever since, au naturel grey/silver, no muss no fuss and it is so freeing! I also use only mild soap and water on my face, moisturise only if my skin feels dry, and apart from an occasional swipe of lipstick (parties, weddings etc), no make-up. I don't waste time, money or energy worrying about my looks, I'm far more concerned with my health, and just living my life. The funny thing is though that after I let the grey show people started to compliment me saying I looked younger. One possible explanation may be that I felt more confident and at ease with growing older. Making women feel bad about not looking ''youthful'' in their 40's, 50's, 60's and beyond is just toxic.
Just "stumbled" upon your channel and am so THANKFUL I did. So appreciate your teaching and sharing the gifts you have been given with all of us. Excellent, just excellent. Thank you and keep them coming!
It automatically takes years away by having a bob cut shorter at the back. So refreshing to hear a sensible hairdresser talking clearly and concisely. Keep it up! xx😊 also love the backdrops!
That is also known as the karen is it not?
@@isabellavalencia8026 I was JUST about to write something about who would want to be associated in ANY way with being a Karen, esp something so obvious. Heck, even the name would concern me. When I first heard about "Karens" I thought I heard my name. Right away, before I could rewind, I was thinking "Hey, I can change my name to Brooklyn and won't seem so silly BC I am orig from there" lol.
Depends what type of hair is back there.
@@marlenegold280 I speak from my own experience - I hardly have any volume throughout my hair but when it’s a longer in front and shorter by 1” in back the hair’s lack of volume is hardly noticeable. The jawline is also unnoticeable with this hair style. The facts of aging and not drawing attention to flaws comes into question.
@IsabellaValencia isn't the asymmetrical cut, more of the "Karen" cut. With heavy blonde streaking, or just bleached yellow blonde.
Wow this is your best yet! What a transformation! I love this series.
Your heart to heart with the menfolk was spot on 👏 I'm 56 I have a undercut bleach blond pixie. My husband too loves long hair but my hair is so fine that as soon as it gets to my shoulders it looks awful. My husband hates my short hair but I love it and it suits my personality. My husband respects the fact that I love it and loves me because of my strong personality.
Much love from Bulgaria!
I’m probably the only one, but I kinda liked the blonde. It looked fun and more youthful. Makeup adjustment could fix the washed out look. Just my opinion.😊
But her scalp showed thru the blonde on top
I loved the changes you made to her hair style. I think just adding the volume did wonders. She looked lovely. I also liked the the side swept bangs. She looked so much more modern. I’m sure her husband will love the simple changes. You always seem to be able to make huge changes with very simple steps.
That is very true Justin- you need to do what you feel good in not what anyone else thinks you would look good in.
Excellent. Not only younger, but more sophisticated. Love the bang suggestion especially- massive difference. Not sure I like the difference in hair colour, but being 72 myself, and with the same Bob, if she wants to transition to natural hair at some point, it would make that much smoother. I’m amazed at the difference you made to her 👏. As for your advice to men 🥂, same goes for us too. If you love someone, let them be. Nurturing not controlling is cherishing the one you love. So wise of you.
Thank you! And I love all of this. You are spot on 1000%. I was speaking to men but the advice transcends gender for sure.
The blunt bob made her look old and conservative, not youthful and creative. Love the new 'do, since it is a bit longer, which will make the hubby happy, and accomplishes what she wants, too.
Bonnie needs softness so I would think soft curls and waves and perhaps behind the ears or one ear and side bang.totally straight hair as one ages is too harsh. I see women everywhere in their sixties and seventies with long straight hair and it is so aging and unattractive.
I immediately noticed that she needs some height at the crown, and more wispy bangs. I like the "fullness" and length suggestions. And I love the color she's using, it really does enhance her skin tone. The blonde was not a good color for her. It's so great that Justin is willing to do these consultations for women online. What a blessing he is to all of us!! :)
How does he pick people like Bonnie to do his make over suggestions?
My ex ( notice the ex part) often made snide remarks about my hair, which hurt my feelings. So I appreciate your advice for men, hope a lot of them will heed it.
I’m sorry to hear that. Sounds like you made the right choice. The best advice I’ve ever heard, which came from a comment on one of my videos, was that hurt people hurt people! I love that so much.
Good riddance! The best boyfriends/husbands don't notice your hair. Women who resent that are silly, in my opinion. Appreciate it.
I think highlights always make us look younger. Not big streaks but subtle highlights. I'm 70 now. I have been lazy since covid and let mine grow and nightlights have grown out too. I did go to your salon in Portland years ago. My sisters and I treated ourselves to nice salon. We traveled about 120 miles round trip. Now for the bad news, the girl at the salon didnt listen to me at all about what my hair was like. I had very thick naturally wavy to curly hair. I gave her free reign on what she wanted to do. She gave me a stacked bobb. I looked like a mushroom when I left the salon. I went back a couple of weeks later for color. I had a different girl because the girl who cut my hair called out sick. The girl who took her place, asked me if I liked the cut, I said not really it was too hard to style, she said " do you want me to fix it for you "? I said yes, she shaped it up and that helped. I was very disappointed with my experience at Hicox. After all, I expected the best for what we paid.
I recently had my shoulder length hair cut into a shorter bob like Bonnie did. No bangs - and it was shorter at the back. I have the same face shape problems as Bonnie, so I wasn’t too happy (my husband always tells me I look beautiful however my hair is). I pushed my hair back behind my ears and brushed it back more to give a little more volume all over. I also added interesting earrings. It all really changed the way I look and feel. Next time I will definitely not have my hair cut so short. Your video confirmed what I did. Thank you Justin, for boosting my confidence even further!
Hello Anji how are you doing?
Justin, the advice about what a husband, boyfriend etc should do for their significant other is SPOT on!!!!…thank you so much for that part of this video!!!…had to comment that before I watch more!!!💜💜💜💜💜
agree Excellent advice to the significant other!!! It took my husband about 20 years to get this!!!
This couple is so cute and you can see the ❤ love.
Patronising!!!
I've never understood why men seem to think their masculinity is measured by the length of their wife's hair.
@@845karolewithak maybe for some men but some people just like what they like, they are just naturally attracted to it. My friend’s husband is attracted to short hair, he just likes what he likes . I’m drawn to darker haired men, it isn’t any kind of measure but if I see two pictures side by side, blonde man, dark haired man, I’m naturally drawn to the dark. I just like what I like. Maybe it is the same for guys?
I was so excited when you mentioned the husbands/boyfriends/significant others and then inviting them to watch the rest of your video. I have a daughter, now married 25 years, and her husband is still wanting her to wear her super thick, long, dark hair like she did when they were married at 18, actually even LONGER. It looks horrible on her with how age has affected her- yet, she wants to keep him happy, and her hairstyle makes her look YEARS older. As a mother I don't interfere, but now you have given me an avenue of conversation and inspiration. Thanks, Justin.
I heard a funny saying a few years ago: Men marry hoping their wife will never change, and women marry hoping her husband will change.
I agree with you. Hope your dgt listens and maybe needs a different stylistic even if it's more expensive. If you find the right hairdresser who actually looks at her face. The cut should go back in place when you go home. That when you know you have the right person. A former hair dresser and skin and make up over 30 plus years now 75. I became a RN T age 40 to almost age 70. I still occasionally do haircuts and style plus slight make up on older women that brings out their face. Not the make up. Just because you are older does not mean you are terrible if you make yourself more attractive like some people think. You should also go with there style of life. I still like dresses skirts model like I did a little I am tall 5 7now. Hope this helps women feel they don't need to look dowdy when in there 70 and up.
Perhaps this is your style. Long hair is actually quite stylish on older women, now.
You are totally right! Length, volume and highlights are going to look great on her ❤️
Awesome! I’m sure that I agree. I think it would look fantastic on her even better than in these photos.
@@justinhickox I love what you did with her hair! Another option could be adding two different shades of highlights that would add more dimension.
I actually liked her hair lighter and also her fringe. Your ideas about length, fullness at top and length made complete sense
Bangs swept to the side was actually Far More aging because it immediately drew attention to the deep lines between her eyebrows (the dreaded "11's" most of us older ladies - myself included - struggle with). This was a Very Helpful demo for Me personally, because I make several of these "mistakes" myself. I too sweep my bangs to the side, which emphasizes My deep lines between My eyes. It's obvious to me now that I need to change my bang style. The ideas for enhanced Volume (in specific places) and the Brilliant idea of darkening the base color before adding highlights - these are all things I can use personally to (hopefully) improve my hair style. Thank you so much! I'm subscribing to your channel thanks to the immense usefulness of this one video.
PS: Please don't take offense, but I immediately guessed your wife's age at 15 to 20 years younger than you. (That size of an age difference is not especially unusual between a young wife versus her significantly older husband.) Also, I suspect the pictures you showed of your wife may have been taken when she was younger than you currently are? But I assumed they were current pics of your wife, and judged your age difference accordingly. Once an incorrect 1st impression is made (my initial impression placed you in your 50's) it's difficult to shake that impression... even though intellectually I quickly realized I had almost certainly greatly misjudged. (You may wish to show pics of yourself & your wife together in order to better illustrate that you are closer in age.)
However, if you would like to "turn back the clock" on your own looks, may I suggest you may wish to take your own excellent advice? Perhaps you should try darkening your own hair? In bright sunlight you look gray haired to me, which seems unnecessarily aging? (I'm guessing IRL your hair is actually a lovely platinum blonde?)
However, to enhance your work on camera, in lieu of using heavy makeup to add color to your face, perhaps you too would benefit from darkening your hair, both to perhaps enhance your skin tone (?) & to make you "read" upon immediate first impression, as being Younger than you currently appear to be?
It was the appearance (at least in bright sunlight) of having gray hair, which made Me automatically judge you as being older than you probably are; perhaps other people get the same (unflattering & incorrect) first impression?
Anyway, that's just a friendly, well meant suggestion from a very impressed new subscriber. Thanks for all your excellent advice! I'm looking forward to binge watching your other videos.
Darkening your hair ages you.
@@stunnedmulletblah9714 Matter of opinion.
The haircut in the photo where she's wearing the glasses is so pretty! I think it suits her so much
That's what I thought too.
I never let my husband have a say in how I wear my hair. He was bald so he wanted to control my hair lol. It’s all about feeling great about the way you look and a new style can put a spring in your step.
Grey Pixie would be adorable on her, her skin and eyes would glow🥰
I think pixie cuts are very UNFLATTERING on most, but just me...
I love your suggestions for Bonnie. I went and got my Husband - who ALWAYS wants my hair LONG even when I am desperate to get it cut. When I get it cut, he likes it! I wish we could just 'cut to the chase' if you get me. So I am glad, delighted with your comments. I want my Husband to love my hair, but ultimately feeling truly free to make choices and feeling supported in those choices is best!!! Its easy for woman to put others opinions first, we need to remember its just an opinion. Shouldn't generalise, but that is my experience. Thanks for the vids xx
My husband wants my hair long too. I’m 60 with thin fine hair. Long hair just doesn’t work for me. I can actually pull it up in a ponytail except some stragglers on my neck…this is great for around the house and walking the dogs, but is definitely not a good look for me.
Wow! It's very refreshing to hear someone who actually gets it about more mature women. I'll be talking to my hairdresser about this!
I totally agree with you. The darker base with lowlights, highlights and collarbone length with side bangs and volume made her facial features shine!
Awesome! I’m so glad you agree. I thought the same thing. It’s not that she could go shorter it’s just in this particular length range I think that would be a really solid idea for her. I’m so glad you agree with it.
I just welled up with tears from that amazing message to husbands and partners, I agree with you wholeheartedly. And definitely I’d shorten the back of the bob. Personally I think very ‘neat’ bobs look a bit ‘clip-on’ like a Lego person.. mussed/messed up is a big youthful. I’d not have neat turn under but texturise the ends a little bit.
Omgosh! You guys are soooo fun! You really brighten my day! Thank you for being authentically you and the amazing amount of work you put into teaching us and helping us look our best! I have enjoyed this whole series but especially this one. Everything you did brought out her natural beauty creating one coherent look. Brought out her undertone, gorgeous eyes, and created a whole balanced look. Nicely done!!
This is OVERKILL. Just do her hair!
@@stj971Agreed. & I think the"wifey" thing is overkill.
Justin I'm in tears. What you say to men is so true. After many years of marriage and kids I think both men and women forget to build each other up! Thank you!
Justin you’re completely correct 👍 in instilling confidence. My husband has thankfully always been totally supportive of whatever hairstyle I’ve chosen. Thanks for this suggestion 😊to significant others.❤
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your message to the men/partners regarding helping to build confidence and supporting their significant others. Spot on! Thanks for your efforts to help lift the spirits and souls of women. 🙏🏼 And, as far as Bonnie, I thought she looked terrific in the last couple of pictures or suggestions. A touch longer with added fullness in addition to highlights along with deeper low-lights, definitely added to her beauty and created a more youthful feel to her look. 💫💫
You are spot on….
@@marthakarkoski422 🥰
Such good advice husband to husband! I think she would look great with her hair darker. No highlights. And shorter in the back with a little height. Not sure about her bangs but they need to be different..
I’m so glad you agree! I think it’s very important for us men to recognize the power of creating more confidence in both our spouse as well as our relationship!
Hi Justin, 👋
I would love to see a video on just bangs and how to properly blow bangs straight to the front and sideways and products that would help keep them from getting frizzy and wavy in humidity.
Thank you very much in advance! 😊
Justin I'm impressed you have tremendous knowledge regarding hair styling!
My sister and I went on a trip to join our spouses in Las Vegas. Our husbands were on their annual cross-country Motocycle pilgrimage to the Sturgis Rally. We had a 4-day rendezvous in Vegas. The men left a few days ahead, and we flew. My hair was thick and long, to about 8-10 inches below my shoulder. The day before my flight, I got a rather drastic haircut, a Jaw length, inverted U stacked, above the occipital bone, and closely clipped, fringe around my, neck,
We get to Vegas and our menfolk arrived, soon after. My brother-in-law got to the room first and flattered me when I opened the door for him. "NICE new Do..." he tells me..." SSSsssshhhh!!!!!" was my reply. "I want to wait and see how long it takes for Mike to notice". Bobby's reply, "That's messed up, man!"... I assured him not to worry; Mike wasn't going to get in trouble, or anything. It was just for laughs and giggles. Mike's an enigma. He is arguably
the MOST intelligent person, I've ever met, but he also has my vote for the most clueless and unobservant.
When Mike made it up to the room. Bobby cleared his throat and made an announcement: "WHELP! I've got a wild HAIR! I'm going down to the casino and grab myself some HAIR of the dog. Otherwise, them rides can get pretty HAIR raising!!" The hint was lost on Mike. We went on and had a lovely time at the theme parks, and on tours through other casinos. I actually forgot all about the ruse. On the THIRD day of dining, dancing, and going on rides, him finding me in CROWDS, we went to go watch a magic show. While waiting for the show, Mike ordered us some drinks, and we sat at the bar, aimlessly playing the table-top poker. All of a sudden, Mike spit his beer across the table, turned to me all shocked and dumbfounded. "HOLY SHIT!!! WHEN did you cut your HAIR?!?!?" I was laughing so hard, I could barely tell him, while Bobby only said, "Thats just messed up man!".
About 2 years later, I discovered a particularly nasty fast-growing tumor, in my right breast. I had absolutely no trepidation of losing all my hair to chemo. I knew, beyond any doubt, that Mike only saw ME, the WHOLE of me, ALL of ME. Anything else was just surface stuff, immaterial, and of no real consequence. That's why it always puzzles me when women take umbrage at their partners who haven't noticed every little change she's made in her appearance. It's gotta be exhausting to need to stay on your toes, so you don't miss any minor detail that might piss them off.
That’s a great story! 😄 I hope you’re all healed from the cancer now, two years later! 🙏
I would love to see more elaboration on volume. I have 'Cinderella' hair...no matter what style/products are used within a short time frame (not making it to midnight) my hair is back to its fine straight self; I end up focusing on the health of my hair.
That's all we can do save for getting a buzz cut!
Big changes to my hair. But I’m glad I have hair.
Wow! I was very impressed by your message to the men. It was spot on, yet I’ve never heard anyone describe it like you did. Thank you!
Yes, I agree with most of what you suggested. However, her hair was already shorter, so I would have liked to have seen what you would suggest for her at her current length. I would’ve liked to have seen a picture of what that looked like.
I REALLY enjoyed this video! I enjoy learning how these hair decisions are made. You do a great job of teaching us. Btw....your wife is adorable.
Thank you so much! I appreciate all your advice to help real women feel as good as they can about themselves . I think your advice about the hairstyle is very good, especially about the side-swept bangs. My take on the color is that the darker color does suit her skin tone the best and it really accentuates her eye color! I would leave out the highlights myself, but she still looks beautiful with them.
Thank you! I really appreciate the support! I love your idea for her hair. I totally agree, the darker color really make her eyes POP!
I agree! The only thing extra I wanted to see what would different colors look like.
Totally agree! Light coloured hair with the change in the hsir cut made her look far more younger!
This was great! I love the little bit longer look with a little layering, more fullness along the face and the side swept bangs. The original style was too blunt and these solutions add some softness and movement.
LOVED what you said about husbands!! I need to remember this and do it for my husband too!!
Definitely spot on for the man talk! I just celebrated my 35th anniversary! I’ve never been one to be confident in my looks and that’s due to being bullied as a child (and by family) and I became so insecure and those insecurities carried through into my adulthood! My husband always says I’m crazy and that I look fine but what I see in the mirror is not what other people see! I think Bonnie is beautiful and I so agree with pump up the volume! She also has beautiful eyes and you can tell she has such a very sweet nature! Another wonderful episode! 🥰

Totally agree with the changes and I feel that the fuller top and sides made such a difference.
@Justin Hickox You are gifted, talented, and skilled as a creative-but the talk to the men was on point above everything else I’ve heard from you. There hasn’t been a man in my life for more than a decade, but this would have been the video I most definitely would have called my husband over to sit and watch with me. 😁 Thank you for sharing from your heart and for letting us in on how you and your gorgeous wife met. You are both so blessed to have each other. 💞💞
Bottom line is we all need a good hair stylist like Justin. Fact is a lot of stylists (like Bonnies) just aren't that good and we come away disappointed but don't say anything to them. It is hard to find really good stylists as most are just average.
I love what you suggested for Bonnie, longer at the front really suited her and she has gorgeous eyes.
My stylist did exactly what I asked her to do. It's me who didn't know what I wanted. That's why I asked Justin.
But Bonnie, a good stylist would have discussed with you why she would recommend a variation on what you had asked for that would be more complimentary....not just do what you asked her to do?
I agree 100 percent. Hair stylist aren't hard to find, a good 1is near impossible to find. Years of bad experiences from my hair melted on my head before it all fell out to going in for a 2" trim off my waist length hair to walking out with shoulder length hair because the person couldn't cut naturally curly hair straight without gapping it. Her trying to 'Fix it' resulted in my long hair laying on the floor. Insult to injury was her saying I looked gorgeous with short hair. An X BF that was a ' color pro' left the foils in too long, my hair came out with the foils. That was 5 years ago. Noone has touched my hair since. I color and cut my own hair. Perfect? No. Better than the alternative? Most definitely.
Excellent advise to men! Couldn’t have said it better! Thank you!
I’m so glad you agree! I think it’s Such an important piece of the equation of relationships!
Damn! Never heard anyone explain MYOB so well!! My husband always wanted me to keep my hair longer too. You covered that topic SO WELL. Thanks!
Love your ideas Justin! Bravo! Plus.. I like the split on the bangs too! bravo!
For most people with straight hair and depending on your head shape, it's extremely hard and time consuming to create that volume on a daily basis. It's never worked for me.
This video really caught my attention when you spoke to the men. For many (many) years my husband has always told me how pretty or occasionally beautiful I am. He compliments me when I get home from the salon and has always liked the various colors I've tried. During Covid my hair started growing out, I decided to keep going since my hair is healthy and fairly thick .One hair trim ago I thought about cutting again but decided to give it some more thought. Today I asked my husband what he thought and then I pushed him for a definitive answer. He likes it long! I don't know what I'll decide but the video made me chuckle.
I thought some layering would give it more of a free and youthful look. I think blunt cut bobs, no matter who wears them (especially with bangs) drags the face down and tends to lay flat. Just too harsh. Layered with a messy look was in my mind, and some bangs back off her face. LOVE your videos by the way!!
Thank you so much! You're spot on with that idea about bobs. I totally agree. One length bobs can work but they are definitely a fashion choice, not about working with the face shape.
I agree, a "messy" layered look adds youth, if done well
As Justin has mentioned elsewhere and I have found out personally, layering can make very thin fine hair just look frizzy and the ends sparse, so it depends on the thickness and texture of the person's hair, and if they live in a humid or dry climate.
ohmy!! yes! I never understood why I have not been happy with 'bobs'
Now, I get what it is I am after and now have the language to express it on my next visit.
Thank you for this ♡♡♡
@@SuziRider5D I've always had fine hair. If most of my hair is cut the same length (shaping the edges), it looks fuller.
I like the longer length and side bangs. Not the highlights so much. I was really glad to see you address glasses. I know the shape of glasses alone can really change one’s appearance, so this could be tricky for you to address since there are so many variations. However, I really would appreciate any tips you have on incorporating glasses into the total look.
Yes !!!
I think you did a great job. I totally agree with side swipe bangs. Perfect on her.
Justin, love the highlights you put in and the new bangs. The VOLUME is fabulous. She has beautiful eyes. I hope she takes your suggestions.
I've discovered wigs and toppers and am having so much fun in my 60's. I have the hair I always wanted...I store it in a box. LoL
I think that is wonderful...
💖i love the confidence you try to instill in women and your love for Deanna is heartwarming. She has a great personality! Handsome couple! Your suggestions for Bonnie are very flattering, but prefer the darker hair. However, if she wanted highlights i believe chunkier pieces of light with the dark would be bolder without losing the illusion of volume.
I think that Bonnie needs more crown height to her hair. She has beautiful eyes which should be emphasized. Thank you
Agreed!! Brighten around her eyes!!
You took at least 20 years off of her face! BRAVO! Just found your channel and I am so glad that I did. I am looking for inspiration (color and cut). Really enjoyed! Thanks
I need what you suggested... Layers & long bob the line parallel with the jaw - & thin out the bangs for the win‼️💥🤩
I think an uplifting look for Bonnie would be to lighten her color or highlights and side swept and choppier layers.Adding some "fun" to her hair.
Fun and informative episode!
Yes to adding layers and softening her bangs by pushing to side.
I knew this before you went over- yes I’m learning 😀
Here’s the thing, my husband prefers longer hair however when I met him I had a pixie cut (I was also 40 pounds lighter 😂) he is going to love me no matter what my hair looks like but because he prefers longer hair I keep it that way plus I prefer him with a beard and because of that he has one. It’s about making each other happy but it’s also about being happy in your own skin.
Now on to Bonnie:
Bonnie is a beautiful woman but I feel her hair is making the top of her head look more pointy. As soon as I saw her I thought she would look great with a shorter hair cut (something sassy) with more fullness on the top with layers, longer side swept bangs. I also see her with a definite lighter hair color, more blonde for sure!
Totally agree! I thought that would have been his curve ball?
I love this! And you're totally spot on. I agree it's about making each other happy. I think the key to that though, as you mentioned, is being happy in your own skin first. For me, it makes me happy to see my wife happy and confident, more than it makes me happy to see her have a specific look. Thank you fro sharing your insight on this!
My husband is just attracted to longer hair. I go shorter, I grow longer, he doesn’t say a word, it’s my hair…..but…I love that twinkle in his eyes when I have the longer hair…it is still there when it is shorter, just not as , ,,can’t explain it. I prefer my hair at least to my shoulders anyway, better for my face. He likes what he likes, at the end of the day it’s ME he loves so it’s all good. There are two people I want to please, first of all myself and secondly him. Nothing wrong with that!
I love when stylists "add volume" and you walk out of the salon loving it. When you wash and style it yourself it seems impossible to get that volume again. How do you suggest the addition of "volume"? Layering? Backcombing? Product? For this woman the volume was key to the new look. Also what about a really high forehead or "widow's peaks"?
I agree with Irene. How do you keep that Volume please??.
@@sheilaharrington-shaw6793 no answer ? dang
I agree with all of you change options , especially color and fullness!
Thanks for another great vid, Justin! My first impression of Bonnie’s hair is that it’s too neat! I’m fine with the length, but it should be a little shorter in the back, layers and added height, maybe a little wave, and bangs to the side.
All of the suggestions you made are spot on. What I noticed about Bonnie is her beautiful eyes and whatever she does with her hair should bring them into play. Maybe her husband is not able to say that her current hairstyle is not flattering and maybe he might like the suggestions you made for her. Thank you so much for saying what you did about the men in a woman's life. From experience, I know that makes a big difference to a woman.
Thank you! I totally agree about her eyes! You bring up a great point about Bonnies comment about her husband. I wanted to make sure I didn't come across as though I was speaking specifically to him as I really have no idea what their dynamic is. That statement was a much more broad chat with men in general. I'm stoked you agree with the message!
Following your instructions…. At this point I would angle it so it is shorter in the back, soften the color and lighten the bangs to the point they almost disappear. And a few slight layers so it moves. I followed instructions. Now I am going to see what your suggestions are. I am hoping for a A.
LOVE it! You're SO close! Your ideas could be great! Thanks for sharing this!
Bonnie is my husband’s aunt! I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time, couldn’t believe it when I saw Aunt Bonnie on your thumbnail, so awesome!
And thank you for what you said about husbands, it was so nice to hear!!
Good points! I wondered about my bangs and bob hair length and now realize whats been unflattering!
Bonnie has lovely eyes. In addition to Justin's recommendations, a style that would emphasize her eyes would be ideal.
Just recently discovered your channel and love it! Thanks for all the great info. I recently lost my mom and after for some reason, i decided to finally get the pixie cut I've been avoiding for years because of what others say or think. Love it!!! Idk if everyone else does but I do. 💕
Thank you so much! Welcome to the family. I’m so glad that you’re liking the channel. I appreciate the feedback. I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. You were definitely not alone, I find big changes in life are typically when people make big changes with their Appearance. I also love the fact that you made that choice and you love it. That’s all that matters! If it makes you feel confident then you made 1000% the correct decision. Well done!
I'd lower the part a big more to the side, and sweep the bangs up & over, uncovering part of the forehead. Also, I'd add some product to produce fullness on top rather than allowing the hair to just lie flat.
Good show. I liked her hair fuller and the bangs to the side. The highlights looked good.
100% agree with you. Graduate the back and carry the layers through the sides. BOOM 🤯 we have a new, beautiful woman with a couple of tweaks. Go for it Bonnie, you’ll look fabulous ❤️❤️❤️. Vonie, Scotland 🏴 x
Yes!! Always they want long! It takes too much work with my wavy hair! When the hubby gets home he gets your advice! Heh! 🤣 Love Bonnie with curve ball. Longer, richer and fuller with dark base and highlights, and definitely the bangs just sliding off to the sides, opening up her forehead. As always volume! And putting that volume in the right place.
I would love to see a video that was nothing but volume examples for different face shapes. Different types of hair, different ways to add volume.
I would think bring the back length up a bit. Also, maybe a longer bang? As far as for color, I like it but maybe a few highlights with brighten her up.
Wow! Well done! You were about 90% of the way to what I would recommend as well. I love this!!
Yes to the commentary to the men in our life. I’m lucky to have a dude that thinks like you. I had a short bob when I met him and then grew out my hair to mid back. Then I wanted to go short but I chickened out and cut a bob again😅 but I really wanted a short pixie. He wasn’t a huge fan of the idea but he said “hun’ I know you’ll look amazing no matter what you do to your hair”
Let me say that the jaw dropped to the floor when I showed up with a pixie🤣 he loved it as much as I did “you look so fucking badass!!!”
So, guys, support your girl! Even if the haircut is a fail, it’s just hair🤷🏻♀️ it’ll grow back
“That’s right, babe. Proud of you”!!!!!
Looks great love how you brightened her face with darker base and highlights.
Just found this..LOVE IT 🤣! Love how you explain the do's and don'ts of face shape, options etc.. But more than anything.. LOVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR WIFE! How wonderful to see so much respect.. laughter & LOVE between two people 🥰💞 Really made my day .. THANK YOU!
Pulling the bangs back makes her look older. But thinning the bangs, or feathering them with layering might look better.
I wasn't crazy abt the side bangs on her either but loved everything else
Some great suggestions. I would definitely go for more of a bob cut and side bangs looked so much better
I totally agree! Thank you!
Truth , sending love. Hair with layers. I'm a pixie girl, been trying to let grow into shag. Really like pixie though. Easy to style. I'm 63.☺ Gray hair, no make up. Love it.
For a lot of us that had hair down to our butt in our youth -- it's hard to find a cut that we're happy with. We get stuck in that time period, for whatever reason. I'd love to have long hair again, but the lines in my face would just get longer. So, I go shoulder-length. I like the idea of volume in the crown and around the eyes. Why don't our hairdressers understand that! I always end up coming home and having to chop into the top to add volume. In this lady - you took away the "pin head" look and enhanced her eyes, which are beautiful. She looks so much more attractive. The highlights look great too. Another beautiful transformation. Wonder if she'll take you up on your suggestions.
Ok, here we go:
before I even look at the pictures, I already know, that something about her cut is 'dragging the eye down' and that she need highlights or lowlights to give more dimension to her hair.
How am I doing?
And yes, I've been binge watching your videos for days 😉😅
All yokes aside though, I do feel that I'm finally starting to understand, what makes a hairstyle work and how to improve it with little changes 👍
I love all of this! You killed it. You’re definitely learning! You’re about 90% of the way there with what I would suggest!
Your videos are so entertaining! I love that you take us on a journey while you educate us about how to find the right style for our hair and your sense of humor makes the videos worth watching to the end. And your wife is beautiful and funny, too!!
Pointing out the importance of line was really helpful. I recently got a blunt bob because I really didn't know what to do with my thinning hair. It looks awful. I would like to know what your suggestions for a short cut would be. I have never had short hair.
Awesome talk with the guys! You nailed it!!
Go you!!
Wow. My hair is my constant concern. Like Bonnie (I am Bonnie too, so I relate in so many ways), my hair style is making me look older, broader and boxy. I have same curtain fringe, same length, same angle back to front etc. At 69 years of age, my current haircut is making me look broader and older than I need to look. I will show your video to my hairdresser and ask for your tips to be implemented as we go forward. I am blown away by your intuitive suggestions. I have subscribed and from this day forward, I am your biggest fan!
I like your final choice. I have similar hair, thin and fine with a high forehead (like Chynna Phillips) so have always worn a bob with bangs since I was two! It's easy to say 'more volume' and photoshop it, but difficult to actually achieve with my hair. I use large velco rollers and tease the hell out of my hair with limited results. Suggestions for women like me?
Root spray on top & in back.
I have VERY thin wavy hair & had this wedge-ish 'after' cut with dark auburn & brown lowlights & blonde highlights pre-Covid & pre-ME/CFS.
(...Time to bring it back!)
Use root spray & leave-in styling conditioner on the ends, and bend over to blow dry hair with a round 1" brush to shape it and tuck the ends under, else flat-iron after.
Dry any bangs first side-to-side, then style them at the end.
Mouse on top can work, but sometimes it works too well & it results in '70s hair'.
See what works for you.
Or try a root lift perm. It doesn't curl, just gives lift and volume at the roots.
@@SuziRider5D what brands of those products so you like?
I have been a cosmetologist for over 35 years with my own salon, and a lot depends on the clients hair. Thinning hair, fine hair, hair texture, and so on. Face shape, length of neck and so on. Women like an easy hairdo. Wash and go, with little maintenance. No two heads are alike. No two people like the same. There is no correct answer. It is all in the eyes of the admirer, and so on.
Ha ha, your wife's great, I can defo see why you fell for her - looks, personality, everything! As for Bonny, I was thinking along the same lines as your suggestions, probably because I've seen quite a lot of your videos. I've tried to apply some of your suggestions with my own hair and it's made a difference. The only thing I wasn't sure about was when you changed the bangs, as you call them. It exposed more of her forehead and for me it made her face look longer, but that's just my opinion. What you did with the colour looked great, though! 😀
I wish I have found you sooner ! What a skilled and knowledgeable advice you give! You have an eye and an understanding. Thank you. I’m going to show your page to my new hairdresser!
