      Well, he doesn't talk to her at all. He talks about her. Also, duh, coloring grey hair generally makes one look younger, but most of us who let it go grey have given up on the constant maintenance of color. It's not like we never heard of it before.

I have an appt with my stylist in 2 weeks and I've been all over your videos trying to decide what to do. This one probably helped me the most. For Janet, if she can style her new "do" as you've pictured it, I'd go for the short style. It makes her look younger! Very sassy!

    Personally, I feel that Janet‘s original hair style showed she has a lot less hair than any of the simulated looks. So the work, hair products required & frequency of cuts to keep a shorter style working are all negative factors for me. Anyone one with a thick head of hair, straight or wavy, has a lot more options than Antoine worth fine hair.

    • @paulalarsen7697
      @paulalarsen7697 7 місяців тому +6

      No, it's about the cut, the product you use, and how you style it. She can absolutely get any of those styles without an issue. The last one, my favorite on her, is all about layers, volume, and some curl. Achievable no matter which style she chooses.

  • @pirjokujansuu6800

    I've seen Janet's hairstyle on so many older women. No offense to Janet, however that style and length tend to make a woman looked even older than she is, look tired, and drags the face down. It also makes the hair look thinner than it probably really is. Not only do I like your curveballs for Janet, she looks great with her hair pulled straight back. It opens up her face and totally eliminates the aged tired look. Thank you Justin!

    I think she looked most elegant and stunning with it simply pulled back. I almost gasped at how fresh and beautiful she looked! Her blue eyes REALLY popped! Even her eye-glasses looked bluer. (And I highly recommend going with one's natural, God-given color: 1) it's free; 2) non-toxic for the planet; and, (in my own case) 3) feels healthier and liberating. (I can also wear colors that I never did before.) And a short, cute Pixie is the trick for me - just a pea-sized amount of shampoo once or twice a week, bit of conditioner on other days, or sometimes just pure water! No time spent on "styling" - just towel dry and go! Whooo-hoo! I love it, thank you, Jesus. (P.S. SuperCuts give cute Pixies for $21, and if you go on Tuesdays you get $2 off! WHOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!)

    I was quite surprised when you showed the comparative of Janet's present style vs her hair pulled off her face. IMHO, her hair did distract from her beauty in the pics. She has beauty that is hiding behind her hair! I couldn't put my finger on the exacts of why, but her beauty shows when her hair does not distract. AND, IMHO, the short layered look at the end seems to be very youthful. Enough so that I (with shoulder length hair at age of 73) suddenly know I am ready to get my locks cut. I will miss not being able to pull my hair off my face and yet, with this haircut and the right product, it could be styled with minimal fuss off the face or not.

The slightly funkier one is my fav as its joyful, fun, youthful and seems to light up her face and the other one is lovely too just a little more conservative. Really it comes down to personality as there is no wrong choice.

    14:03 Apparently that hair style will also: give her a darker blue shirt, a bit of a tan, a darker shade of lipstick, slightly fuller lips, make her eyes bluer, bring her hairline down to make a smaller forehead, tighten up her jowls, make her jaw line narrower, make her face overall slimmer, and knock back some wrinkles.

I'm the all-time greatest scardey cat when it comes to hair stylists - I'm in my sixties and have had about three or four cuts in my life that left me truly happy. Clearly I fail to communicate! The last time, nine years ago, she cut the layers so short that I couldn't keep them down. Since then (with only one exception) I've cut it myself - I realise it doesn't look great, but at least it's not so short that I'm miserable. I'd rather cut my fringe weekly, than have it cut half way up my forehead by some helpful hairdresser trying to save me the trouble. Justin I wish you could cut my hair for me, you inspire confidence.

I’ve discovered that the longer my hair, the better the weight of my hair allows it to not be frizzy - when my hair was shorter it grew out not down as it were.

      Isn’t that the truth! There is a lady at my work who looks a good 20 years older than she is, simply because she refuses to cut her hair or take care of it at all. As a result, it’s totally white (but has that smokers yellow tinge she could easily remedy with blue shampoo) , it’s full of split ends and pointy ends like she hasn’t gotten a trim in decades, it’s frizzy, etc.
      When she told me her age I almost collapsed in disbelief. I think she thinks, it makes her look youthful. She also lets her nails grow long but they are very yellow and never polished or manicured. (She doesn’t smoke , the hair and nails are just yellow with age)

    The color is great, and the loose feathered look of the shorter one is more versatile - you can be free and wild, or you can control and taper the look afterward. The color is a huge difference - makes her eyes speak and makes her look less sallow. My fave is the last shaggy one. Go Janet!!

    I think she should go for the short look with low lights to create movement. I don't think her hair is full or thick enough to create the volume in the longer suggestion. To attempt to create that volume would require a lot of effort, which she wanted to avoid. I also think the shorter style would be more youthful, even though we often associate shorter cuts with older women. I love your explanations, Justin.

    Love funky and spunky look. The extra layers give so much character to her design.
    Perhaps she can experiment with wash out color or shampoos to embrace elevating her look without being beholden to a color maintenance schedule. A soft hint of pink or violet would be lovely on her salts.
    Well done Justin, love your show!🎉

      I was thinking she might want to get a couple bottles of Splat! And experiment. With her skin I'd go go soft pale purple or else deep violet, not day-glo. She could also do bubblegum pink. Magenta I think would be too much, and the greens would just make her skin look yellow.

    Love that last look on her! I think it’s more youthful and fun. I was all in on the 2 before that but once you did that little fun style, I immediately felt she was “less tired”. And I’m “tired” so I mean no offense at all! I did the shorter back and longer sides to front with my naturally curly hair. I loved it but I just can’t style it. And bless my stylist, she did the cut I asked for but she doesn’t know how to style curly hair so I’m still working it out. A year later.

    • @evezford
      @evezford Рік тому

      I just did the same thing and all I can do is scrunch styling cream in my naturally curly hair and diffuse it dry. If I tip my head upside down while drying it come out fuller. The stylist used more product with hold and I didn’t . But it’s fine for now.

    I totally agree with the lowlights suggestion. My colorist has suggested the same to me, since I’ve been interested in embracing my grays. I’ve done highlights forever and I’m tired of the struggle, but I was concerned about the grow out. What you said is the same thing I was told. And it makes perfect sense! The lower maintenance, the better. Great video!

      I have been gray/silver/salt-pepper for at least ten years now.
      It all started with salon applied lowlights and keeping my hair trim regularly.
      As the silver/gray came in I bumped up a bold lip and somewhat luminous
      Blush. Don’t forget a bit of a stronger eyebrow. Going gray can make you look faded, washed out.
      I have been complimented quite often on my hair.
      Completely liberating!!!

    I love using a demi-permanent color that's not too far from my natural color. It lets me keep the grays but they become muted and still look pretty brown but not ashy. And there's no harsh line, it just gradually fades out with many washes. Easy peasy. Thank you for your channel! Cheers

I had my stylist layer it and have the length go to just under my earlobe. It looks and feels thicker, my waves are now showing, and with just a little added curl from my brush iron, I give it a more tousled, textured look. It doesn't take long to style at all. I also have a short neck, so I feel that my new length makes my neck look a little longer.
