    Your part is in a really good place. A center part is one of the most unflattering parts for women of a certain age. It accentuates the nose (which is still growing as we age) and makes the face look longer (only good if you have a really round face). A side part is much softer, and usually gives more height to the crown.

      I have long thick hair. 67. I go with a Lob, basically. And my part is center just off cowlick. So for me I can't do Side part. And I've already done Rhinoplasty 😅

      Exactly. I stopped messing with my hair and discovered I have long blonde healthy curls that are going white. I don’t blow dry it, I don’t straighten it, I don’t part it any certain way, it’s wild and free and has never looked better or matched my personality more. My hair has fallen out many times, so it’s exciting. I find the “some people care how they look” comment to be sanctimonious and completely misses the point. Some people know what’s important, some don’t. Aging is amazing, I embrace it fully because I’m lucky to have the opportunity to do it. There’s nothing shameful or wrong about it. I severely doubt I’ll be on my deathbed regretting doing a center part rather than a side part.

    Thanks for the easy and elegant do-able styling tips. I also have long hair and two left hands when it comes to teasing, Bobby pins or “products”. I’ve a tip that has been a game changer for me…the Goody company has a pin called spin pins or twirly pins that come 2 or 3 to a package and in two sizes. Even in my heavy straight hair, I only need 2 of them to make a upstyled bun that lasts all day. Easy peasey!😅

    I'm 49. My hair is almost to my waist and it's healthy and beautiful on me and no one is going to tell me any different. Ladies, stop putting limitations on yourself. Do what looks and feels right for you. Not what society says you should do.

  • @helene615

    I'm 63 this year and have had mid-back length for a few years. I've got a long narrow face, so I get where you're coming from with trying to prevent elongating the face.
    My hair is dark brown and uncoloured, with a white strip just to the side of centre. I love it and try to use it when putting my hair into any style. I don't curl it as my hair doesn't hold curls without "stuff" which I'm sensitive to, but it has a bit of natural wave that I can use to my advantage. However, I usually braid it when it's first washed so it dries into lovely waves.
    Last year I learned how to use hair sticks and they are my go-to for everyday and dressy when I want my hair up. Left down, it depends on a good cut with light layers that give movement.
    Sometimes I don't mind the "stark" look of hair pulled back, but I prefer something more soft. I dislike wisps around my face, but some face-framing layers world be nice. Maybe next time!
    I grew up in the era that said that older women shouldn't have long hair. I love my long hair and thing it's very flattering and feminine. Short hair only emphasizes my strong features. Going to keep the length for as long as I can maintain it myself! I've got years to go!!

    Almost all of women on those Housewives shows wear their long and it doesn't appear juvenile. They aren't teenagers. Maybe hair in two pigtails with ribbons would be juvenile, but simply having longer hair shouldn't be an issue. Type of hair can also be a factor. For those with curly hair wearing it longer can give more styling options without having to use alot of heat or a ton of products. However, I really like the suggestions here and appreciate the video.

      Try diluting a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of water in a spray bottle. Lightly mist your hair before curling. Spray each section individually, comb through, curl. Sugar "hairspray" works very well with hot rollers. Hope it works for you! Totally nontoxic and economical!

My hair is long, wavy, uncolored & thick with a gray streak at each temple.

    I am 67 and my hair is about 6 inches past my bum. Extremely long and I wear it anyway I feel like wearing it. I am old enough that I could care less what people think about my hair or my clothes. This is me, and I like the way I am.

    I enjoy the way you edit; I appreciate that you don't waste our time with unnecessary chat while you do the obvious. There are many videos I have to quit for thst reason

      Thank you so much for noticing that. I wouldn't say I always do it that way, but I try! I get bored easily, so I like to keep the video moving. Thanks again!

      Yes, same I hate chatting chatter chatter gossip gossip, just get to the point and stick to it. I’ve clicked off many videos for that reason.
