I will say this after I have read a lot of the comments below. A lot of you are saying how back combing is an old fashioned style. I am 68 years old and I have fine and thinning hair and this style is about the only way that I can make it look like I have some hair. So to say this technique is outdated is incorrect, some of us have to do to have a nice hair style unless you call flat a good look. I also want to say what a good job the hairdresser did on the video. I was never raised with , doing our hair, doing makeup, dressing up, etc. we never had that option. I find it refreshing that someone would show us for free how to style our hair. Thank you ma'am
Oh Bonnie, you are so right! I'm 70 and can remember what we tried way back when to get our hair to look "groovy". Grandma doesn't have to look frumpy anymore, thanks to the easy steps in these free "how to" videos.
I don’t know why so many people are critical of this haircut and style, I think this woman has talent! She could’ve left it at any stage and styled it anyway she wanted, this is just one of what I guess it’s a large repertoire of her haircuts. And I think she demonstrated her point quite well. In the end there’s nothing wrong with her styling techniques. Excellant work. I do think this is practical to do at home as the cut is right and you are willing to learn what the hairdresser teaches you.
Geordo1960 Well, probably she thought thats what women would want, or what they wear in her neighborhood. Some ppl never do change their style. From the comments it appears we set her straight. Don't beauticians have to do continuing education credits to keep/renew their licenses?
I am a Grandma and proud to be one. Robin's comment that it was "rude" made me smile. I was thrilled to have ANY kind of hair style for women over 70 on youtube. I can't wait to try this style. Thanks for sharing it - both of you. Your model is beautiful!
There is a much easier way to do this. Keep your round brush out from the scalp a bit and dry it with the hair "lifted " at the roots to add a little volume, then just put a little bit of styling wax on your fingertips, run your hands through your hair a few times and you're done. No teasing, no yanking at your hair. Unless you have very fine hair, it looks great.
Wow! I love the haircut and styling, although I could never do it myself and get that effect... and if I thought my nearly totally gray hair would turn out to be such a beautiful silvery gray, I'd let my hair color grow out in a heartbeat!
THANK YOU for these videos! I needed to blow dry my grandma's hair for her (She has a bad arm and it's hard for her to do it herself) and this was the only video I could find, but it worked out perfect. Thanks!
This hair style is very pretty. Of course, at the salon, every hair is put into place, but as you wear this style and it relaxes a bit, it is lovely. Helpful tutorial! :)
I love it. I'd be happy if my hair looked like hers before you started. She has a beautiful head of manageable hair. Mine is thin, fine , thinning and straight as straw. I'm 64. Any suggestions are welcome.
Loving my short hair.Really rocking my earrings now. 😀 The short layers give it the bump with a little mousse and light teasing (ratting). Thanks for the video share. I'm more of a salt and pepper gray, but strangers love it and it's almost annoying, the amount of people telling me I look so much younger. lol 😉
I think that looks amazing. Much better than the old permed style older women used to wear. One thing I would add is a little bit of length so you could flick the bottom up and it ads some energy and uplift to a woman's face. Very nice though.
Quite surprised at some of these comments..This style looks fab and funky. It just takes on a different look. My Mum's hair is similar but I defiantly need to find this product. I'm in the UK so may not be so easy.
Grandma Hairstyle? Just wee bit patronizing/condescending. Not everyone is a grandma...and there are loads of very, very young people making their hair silver/ grey...also, you could cover up the "pink scalp" that most people get when their hair turns silver by using a blending powder that you can just brush into specific areas on the scalp that will also add depth, volume and some thickness in the roots of those areas. I use Joan River's "Great Hairday" in Charcoal/Grey that is safe and works beautifully. Other than that...the hairstyle can be worn by anyone of any age...although on fine hair you could sweep one layer of the bangs up and over to the side and fan out them out to give the top more volume...I think the bangs could've been a little less prominent. Also, "teasing" hair sounds less scary than "ratting" it.
Tooooo much work! Ratted hair was great on teens in early 1960's. I have a stacked short bob.... sooo easy! This makes her look old and that white hair too! I am 65 in 3 months. My hair has been always brown, now gold highlights to cover grey. People say I look 50! But if she likes it and can manage it... God bless!
My hair is that color & when I don't dye it ,it puts at least 10 years on me. I hate it.I color it a pretty blonde color.Everyone really likes it. I also don't wear old lady hairstyles.Also,when it's not dyed it has a wirery texture. When it's dyed,it's nice & soft. This lady would look a whole lot better with some color in her hair.
I agree about color. I have fine thin hair and have colored it all my life to get more body. I'm 71 and would love to have the genes that so many of girls my have. Mine will never get that beautiful natural color. My sweet hair stylist does almost the same process to my hair. And let me tell you that back comb look will only last until the next day. BUT, the body and overall style will last for 3-4 days. Love it.
Love the way you styled her hair, I can't get anyone to style my fringe the way you did that..soft look on her face ..Brilliant .will try it myself ..56 yr old ..😀
Love love love that hair do! No wonder mine didn't turn out, I need to rat it!!! I have thin hair and it goes flat so fast but now with the ratting, thank you!
very cute , and you are adorable :) do you have any videos showing you doing hairstyles on large ladies you know what kind of styles look good on more rounded faces. I love your videos.
When I see long hair on an older woman, I get the impression they think they still look young because of the long hair but it has the opposite effect . Love this short hair cut !
tottart I think it just depends on each person. There are older women that have long hair and look amazing. Everyone has their own style and age shouldn't hold them back.
SERIOUSLYYYY~~GIRL, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! :))) you could or should be an instructor U GOT SKILLS ,,, best by far giving instruction, you are loud and clear and you definitely know your shit! you know exactly how to work that hair , so absolutely awesome , thank you so much.
Some don't care for the style where it looks like they just stepped out of a bad windstorm. They would prefer the soft, neatly kept looked. Usually when someone walks into a salon, the stylist will ask what type of haircut and style the person is wanting before it's done. Everyone has their own preference and what makes them feel comfortable and happy. If a woman was in her 30's or 40's and had this cut then I don't think anyone would be making a big deal of it. If she let her hair grown down to her butt and had the stylist use a flat iron on it then others would be making a comment about it not looking good because they would say she is too mature for that style. Either way someone is going to make a negative comment. As long a the person getting, paying, and wearing the cut or style is happy then the stylist has done his or her job. ;-)
It's not too different to the "brush ups" my mother used to get in the 1960s. Mum would have been 88 this year if she was still with us. It's a very aging/dated look.
Nice but impracticable for "grandma" to do at home herself each time. Also, while I'm well over 60, I'm not keen on the teased and bouffant styles of the past.
Depends on how stylish the over 60 are. If they where tshirts and jeans and work in the garden short is best they have money dress stylish and can afford to keep higblights etc in it go for it. Depends on weight and neck body shape
And Grandma may have bad shoulders which make it hard for her to do all that rolling and hairdryer. My 80 yr. mother went from this exact style to a longish pixie with short bangs that she can towel dry.
good golly, she never said that Grandma's can't style like anyone else. but instead is showing how to create a style so that the model looks great without trying too hard not to look her age.. Some women with a few years of experience have unique hair problems [ sometimes due to hormone reduction] ..color issues, thinning, limp hair to name just a few.. so nice to get tips on style... perhaps you need to get over your overly sensitive self & see that she was trying to be helpful not insulting.........
I always felt teasing was very unhealthy for hair, seems like it tears the hair to shreds. I grew up in the teasing era, but never liked it. As for now, I've told my friends they'll never see me in the standard grandma hairdo, short, with tight curls, dyed blue. Too predictable, everybody does it once they get a certain age. Just like older men go to their barber every single week, even though there's nothing to cut!
That was great! I am getting up there in age, although I don't look a day over 45. I am hoping that a short hairstyle like this will look good when I am ready to chop it all off.

Kathy Jackson fine if you have lost of hair. Very hard to get good results on fine hair.
Cute. When i was a young girl we called it teasing your hair or back combing.
Your model is beautiful and has a great smile. The hair style looks great on her, too.
There is a much easier way to do this. Keep your round brush out from the scalp a bit and dry it with the hair "lifted " at the roots to add a little volume, then just put a little bit of styling wax on your fingertips, run your hands through your hair a few times and you're done. No teasing, no yanking at your hair. Unless you have very fine hair, it looks great.
P.S. - No sticky hairspray and your hair looks better.

She is beautiful.. love this cut on her
I think the woman getting her hair done has beautiful hair. This style never grows old. It is timeless.
She has beautiful hair. So much more than me and I'm 52, and I love the beautiful snowy color. That was a very nice cut for her too!
I'll continue using the blow dryer & crunch my hair ,my daughter taught me this , done in 4 mins
THANK YOU for these videos! I needed to blow dry my grandma's hair for her (She has a bad arm and it's hard for her to do it herself) and this was the only video I could find, but it worked out perfect. Thanks!
I use a 9nn topchic (permanent) from goldwell. I also use 20 vol to cover the gray. Thanks I'm glad you like it!
I really like the color, texture and cut of this woman's hair, especially the color. Beautiful.
This hair style is very pretty. Of course, at the salon, every hair is put into place, but as you wear this style and it relaxes a bit, it is lovely. Helpful tutorial! :)

Don't like the top where you leave a big pink scalp showing, makes her look like she's losing her hair.

Just why do you think grandmas cant have a style like everyone else. Insulting. This looks just like a style lots of younger people wear.
