  • Hair mistakes that age you faster but with a twist! This video is episode 1 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 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 the correct and incorrect kind of layering and how layering plays a massive role in your hair shape. We also hit on styling tips that will help give a more youthful look. Many times if you want to look more youthful, it just takes small changes to create a large impact!

    I had long hair most all my life.When I say long I mean shoulder length or a little past. I found that most of the time it was pulled back or up.I realized what is the point in having long hair when I very rarely wore it down So I cut short. Close to the style you suggest.I love it I can style it so many different ways with much less work.I am 70.A few years ago I was down because of the gray hair wrinkles and the whole getting old thing.My husband looked at me and said every age has its beauty .You are beautiful and will only get more beautiful .So I say looking younger is how you feel not what you see in the mirror.Another great adventure.

      Agreed. I look at photos of my granny who lived to 98 and loved ballroom dancing up until months before she passed away. Anyway her photos of her bridal self charming and then with young children in full fruitfulness then another image of her in her middle years self assured and strong then in her latter decades with beautiful blue eyes and gorgeous fresh skin if a little crinkly smiling with all the warmth only she ever had.
      Beauty is for all ages and it starts inside and with a little creativity on the outer packaging we can all look wonderful 😊

    People who get hung up on how “looking more youthful” sounds, should replace “youthful” with “healthy, happy, vibrant.” I agree with you, and at the same time I understand how people can become fixated on the word youthful. I’m 47, I’m not trying to look younger, but I damn sure wanna look vibrant 😊

I personally want to look my best at whatever age I am. I like both styles on her, maybe the longer version first and work into the shorter later. The shorter one really doesn’t look so short either.

      You are spot on Julie, being youthful to me at 58 isn’t a physical thing it’s a mental state of mind - these are the best years of my life and I’m not going to be placed into a box because of my age! I’m not going to have any fillers or Botox either, but I’m always going to try to look the best I can because the confidence that gives me is worth gold and I deserve it ✨

    A great hair style is like a "face lift". It's always best to stay natural but the right style for you can make you look more vibrant, lifted and youthful. I'm almost 60 and I do like long hair but occasionally I go short because it is less maintenance.

    I liked the short hair style on the model. It had a young, spunky look to it, and so did the model. I also liked the subscribers hair style, but I see your point. The subscribers hair had beautiful texture, thickness, and color, but it was a more modest, older looking style. This video was educational, and allowed me to see things in a different way. Also, your scenery is drop dead gorgeous!

    Both hairstyles are a innovative change, from the static "hair helmet" she's currently wearing. The layering and movement in both styles you suggested, really help introduce some vibrancy into her hair, capture that youthfulness you defined here. She's blessed with super thick, healthy hair and an amazing color. Your styling plays to those two strengths. Great choices, well done! 🌸

I got annoyed and it all came out at once when I addressed how I was feeling. Give me more than just a quick cut and out the door like those chain salons. Told her flat out.

    I love this new type of segment. I like the short style best. I agree with your interpretation of “youthful” which embraces “fresh”, “confident”, “the best look for you”, no matter what your age. I have an 89 year old neighbor. She walks her little rescue dog each day. She has a salt & pepper layered short cut. She looks 15 years younger than her age. No blue haired, perm set style for her!

  • @janeallen5969
    @janeallen5969 2 роки тому +1

    You found a great photo of someone who looked like your viewer. I love the short option. The cut has movement, is complementary to the face shape. It gives a "lightness" to her face.
    If she is uncomfortable with the short style option #1 is a good look, almost as good as the shorter cut. It could also work as a transition to the shorter cut if your viewer has never tried a short style. Her original style does give an older appearance, maybe even older than she is.
    Your definition of youthful compared to younger is a good one. As a Nurse I have seen very young patients appear older because the illness or injury drained their natural energy. The observations of a long career seems to back up your definition
    Thank you for helping with your clear directions on how to achieve the results you suggest.

    I love both options. I have fine, thin hair and struggle with getting fullness in my hair. I have had shorter hair for 30+ years and at one time tried to grow out the sides for a short bob. Well, it really added width to my face which I didn't need so went back to my pixie. I've also stopped coloring my hair and love my dark and light - so shiny.

    The longer style would be amazing on Avivit. Women of a certain age such as myself like something that strengthens our jawline and gives us some sex appeal.

    Loved this episode, Justin! Because of my hair issues (a mix of curls and waves along with a bushiness) when young I always kept my hair short. As I got much older I also fought letting it go gray. You're so on target because at 70 I have even more confidence and I let it go white/silver or whatever it is. It's also longer and I want to find someone who can work with this and deal with my thinning and fine hair. In this instance I love the short hair! I think it would be perfect for her!

    Love your suggested styles, both of them. Pre-covid I was wearing a pixie & never thought I'd grow it out. My hair has been gray for 8 years at this time. Well Covid closed the salons, then fear of exposure let it grow. This brings me to the only negative on style #2: Maintenance. Haircut every 4-6 weeks.
    Now my limited budget embraces shoulder length. November was 1st trim then another in early Spring, and added layers last week. Avoiding hairdryer to keep it healthy.

    Your comments at the end about youthfulness and your hair advice made perfect sense to me! I totally agree and your help is very much appreciated… Now I have to try and communicate some of your suggestions to my stylist! Lol Since moving to a new city, I have yet to find a stylist that can cut and colour my hair for my face shape and skin tone like my former one. She was amazing! Sigh…
    Btw, love all the options you have for Avivit. Long or short. I actually like the versatility of the short style. Although she could play with styling it with the longer version too. Maybe baby steps of option 1 and then variations of it to the shorter style, if she is hesitant to go short right away.

    I really loved the same length tossled hair. I’d love to know just how to do that. 🤔
    I’m recently retired, letting my hair be what it is, and let my full head of layered hair grow out for the first time since the late 70’s. I’m going through the same thing, I like pulling it up, wearing it down, letting the waves do as they please or taming them. I wear it curled and straight. My entire life I worked to keep my layered hair the way I liked it. Now I’m 65, I feel my face is rectangular, and those layers I waited so long to grow out,,, are calling to me again. 😬. Confused, what I do know is I like carefree hair. What’s a girl to do?

  • @slkais329
    @slkais329 2 роки тому +1

    I love both options. She could start with the first and move on to the short cut when she feels ready. I'm finally getting my butt-length hair cut on Tuesday at a local Aveda salon that was listed on the site you recommended for top-rated stylists. I had a consult and we agreed on my ideas. I'll start shoulder length and go shorter as the mood strikes. Thanks for all your excellent advice in your videos. You helped give me the mental push I needed to get started.

      omg three years ago i had a short asymmmetrical cut that was about an inch long on one side. since pandemic i can sit on my braids right now. kinda wondering what to do now. im so used to the braids but its like.. too long. but i have scars on my face, this might be an interesting video, i try really hard to use my hair to detract from and soften the scars but its super hard cause theyre large and rigtht between my eyes. i cant do bangs that well cause my hair sweeps back... i used to get so many compliments on my gorgous long curly hair before the scars. now my hair only exists to cover scars and it doesnt do it well at all. so yeah none of it makes me feel good. i wish i could cut off that part of my face

  • @Jacquelinenht1

    Just stumbled across your channel and found it fun and uplifting. Thank you, I wish I’d found you sooner! Following a severe bout with Covid in April 2020, the aftermath left me weak, lethargic, asthmatic and now almost 30 lbs heavier. After overdosing on Covid Do-It-Yourself Pixie Cut videos, thinking I would feel better without persistent bed head with my shoulder-length hair, I bought clippers and all the tools to do it myself. Thank the hair gods that a neighbor talked her stylist into coming to my apartment (at a generous fee. Donated clippers and tools to a homeless shelter). First cut was so-so. Not really her fault, she was unfamiliar with my hair and our opinions differed. Just had it done again and omg, without salon mirrors to monitor, I could only wonder at the occasional clump of alarmingingly long hair. She was “thinning and shaping”. I’d been going for a close version of your short cut here and ended up with a shorter Milla Jovovitch Joan of Arc, without her face to carry it off. Three weeks later I’m still crying on the inside and avoiding mirrors like the plague. I’ve considered wigs, extensions (dont think I have enough hair to crimp to). I spent almost 4 figures and never felt uglier. I know it’ll grow, but I’m supposed to do business headshots and am at a total loss. I recently located to a large city up north of you. If you desired to do a video of how to style a difficult short cut (perhaps 6 inches at crown), I have a lovely high-rise guest room overlooking the Pike Market for you and your spice, with access to all your favorite outdoor places in the area. I can send photos, but replicating styling without being taught hasn’t been successful for me. Chew on it. Contemplate fees. I’ll be sitting here, watching the ships in the harbor, trying to make my hair grow…

    She has great hair, but I love both of the styles you suggested! I’m a fan of short hair so I’d love to see her with the second one. You’re so right about the confidence that comes when you know your hair looks great! There are so many of us “wiser” women out there who are badass, I believe we’re a generation that’s really owning our age and we want to look youthful without being botoxed and filled!

Thank you for all your wonderful advice and time you spend trying to help us look our best. I really love the first style because I like waves and her gray hair is gorgeous! I myself preferred longer hair so the second style, although it looks gorgeous on the model and I completely trust your advice, it terrifies me. I'm not ready to go that short. I'm sure it would look great on her, but I prefer the first one 💜

IT WAS FREEDOM!!! And not having to spend so much money on hair products or waste time styling it all the time was so worth it!

    I like both the short and the medium bob on this beautiful model. I have fine hair and one thing I've noticed over the years (I'm 49yr) is that layering works wonders on my hair but texturing with thinning shears doesn't. It leaves me frizzy looking even with straight hair. I appreciate your advice it helps with subtle tweaks to optimize the look of any cut ✂️.
    Best to you and your beautiful family
