    I have long hair and wear big curls and waves all the time. It's my signature look and I get compliments every day. Age how you want. Wear your hair and makeup how you want. Not all beauty advice is the best for everyone. The older I get, the less I care about what others think.

      @@bobbijonestarot5751 It's true. For instance, our lips may have looked pretty symmetrical in our younger years but will change over time due to expressions, sagging, etc. I used to have pretty perfectly shaped lips and even smile but now one side is slightly different than the other and my smile is not as symmetrical. I also have one eye that I just noticed is sagging differently than the other. Now I'm finding all of this in a 20x mirror so it's probably not noticed by others as much, but I know more changes will come as I age -- It is what it is, unless you opt for surgery, which I am too scared will render me worse than if I would just leave mother nature to do her thing!

  • @bobbijonestarot5751
    @bobbijonestarot5751 2 роки тому +313

    Increased age can increase foreheads and thinning. Side parts circumvent needing bangs to camouflage. Also a center part elongates the face, so if maturation is causing drooping center parting is probably not the move.
    Having a signature look is always a toss up with being current IMO. No right or wrong.

      I agree. Also, in my case. I prefer to have a side part to balance some asymmetrical features like one eye slightly lower than the other or one cheekbone lower than the other. Some people prefer not to have anything "done" to their face but would rather use makeup and hair to create balance and symmetry.

    I get really tired of 20yr olds trying to tell 50yr olds what to do in order to stay trendy. When you get older your hair starts to thin so not all of us can do a middle part. Also, yes we know trying to grow out your gray hair sucks but you have to go through that pain of the roots to get it done. Telling us we look old doing it is just insulting. Please do another video on this when your 50.

    To be honest, I get very tired of hair trends and I think following them is what makes people look dated. There was that time everyone had the caramel highlights, the wavy lob with the straight ends, then the super long waved extensions, etc. It’s as though one generation’s style is chosen to be “It” and everyone else is considered out of step. It would be great to hear about styles for different hair types and face shapes, low vs high maintenance and so on without reference to trends. (But maybe I’m the only one…)

      You are not the only one! I’m sick of certain trends telling us that we are old if we do or don’t do something, instead of just liking what we like. Why do we all have to do the same thing? Like the middle part for example, it clearly doesn’t look good on everyone. Can people just let their insecurities go and realize it’s ok to not follow every single trend and look exactly the same as everyone else? It’s gonna change as soon as it becomes popular anyway.

Hepburn scolded her niece saying it did not suit her and that she looked like a Quaker. Since then when someone is forcing a middle part for their face that doesn’t suit middle parts, I can’t help but see Quaker or Queen Victoria. Some people’s face shapes just don’t suit middle parting.

I think each individual, their face shape and hair type is more the deciding factor than trends when comes to what looks good/younger on each person. And honestly as long as I feel good about me, really that's all that matters 😊 I really don't think you meant that anyone should do or change something if they already feel great about their style/hair though. I did appreciate the recommendation regarding hair color, so thanks.

    I can't think of one person who looks better with a middle part. A few look just as good but none that look better. It reminds me of Jan Brady on the Brady Bunch. I go a long with most trends but only ones that look better on me. Like darker roots or lighter roots look equally as good on everybody but one definitely looks more dated so that I can get behind but I am not parting my hair on the middle just because some kid on tik tok says so. Kids that I might add can't buy alcohol or vote yet they are influencing JLO??? Makes no sense to me. I get when your young, opinions of others matters so much but the freedom you feel at say 35 to not give a shit is a beautiful thing. An nothing is worse than someone 60 succumbing to that pressure. You can find a healthy balance an not go all in.

      I agree with you. Except for a small minority of women, center part is less flattering. Unfortunately, it is the trend and has been here for a while, so I’m trying to embrace it. I’m optimistic that it will pass and we will all look back on the center part and laugh, but until then…We’re saddled with center parts and high waisted/high ankled jeans (SUPER unflattering).
      Beautiful women with a slight gap in their teeth can look better with a center part - like Lauren Hutton, Lily Aldridge, or Anna Paquin. I think that Gloria Steinem looks better with a center part too.

      @@karikelly2797 Yes high waisted pants are much less flattering. The thing about this center part thing is that it is not a hard trend. If you look at Instagram there are plenty of side parts. Kylie Jenner wears her part on the side most of the time. As well as Jennifer Aniston. Look at pictures from the met gala. There is a very good mix of both. Tik Tok brainwashed everyone.😂 When it comes to high waist pants an washed out jeans I am afraid it's pretty clear those are what everyone wears.😔

    Trendy vs what looks best on me? I'm going for what looks best on me. Sometimes that means it will be trendy and sometimes not. I can never wrap my mind around how people are such slaves to the trend police that they wear hairstyles and clothing that does not look good on them. Are we really letting condescending young kids dictate what part we have? Or anything else as far as that goes. (Supposedly now they are saying nobody should wear blonde hair anymore 🤦‍♀️) I would rather look good than trendy. Everything comes back in style anyway in time, lol. I love my side part. It's more forgiving. And dark roots are too high maintenance if you are fighting grey hairs. So I will also stick to some highlights around the roots. But, I will say you are very beautiful and I envy your hair!!

    Question, as far as root touch ups for grey, where I am a natural level 7, I use a 7a, 8nn mixture and then do foil highlights, do you have any advice for those who have to touch up roots but don’t want to refresh highlights every time, mostly for damage sake? I want to keep the blonde bright but if I don’t highlight every single time I feel like it’s a bit more lackluster. Thanks!

    I love a middle part; but, I am thinning terribly directly in the center. No, actually past the thinning stage. Balding. I am trying off center because side swept does exactly what you said…lays very flat and difficult to get volume that way. My forehead is very high; so, bangs aren’t quite right either. I have been thinking about a forward moving pixie. Making that leap is too psychological at the moment. I know I am dated…but, there are many reasons why. I am so embarrassed to see a stylist.

      I believe, as many people I know do as well, that the center part does NOT look good on most people. You need to have an almost perfect face to pull that off. It also cuts off half of your face, as you cut off both sides of your face, like your CHEEKBONES which you never want to do. The center part is reminiscent of the 60s and 70s and is SO OUTDATED. On the contrary, the side part ADDS MORE VOLUME AND LIFT especially when you side part on the opposite side of the way your hair falls naturally. Doing this gives you an automatic lift. Making NO PART AT ALL IS THE BEST WAY OF ALL. Don't part it, just brush your hair straight back, give a little shake and let your hair fall NATURALLY the way it wants to and you will achieve the most beautiful, natural look for YOU! Try it, play with it and don't put an intentional fake part in your hair. The middle part isn't flattering on anyone.
