Too long hair,too dated a style
Freshen up to modernity and
lose the bad hair blues.My Friend has finally agreed to
cut her hair!!! She is 26 years old and is in need of 
a style makeover. I
would like to focus on her biggest issue: her hair.
She is a natural
blond with stick straight hair down to her waist and bangs that are
commonly worn curled under and teased.this is all about of how to quick fix our hair. She has worn this style for well over 15
years and has refused to cut it because she thinks that "guys love it".
Anyway, after many people telling her it's out of style, she's given into getting it cut BUT refuses to go any shorter than the bra line. Please give me some ideas of what to do... my sister doesn't look old but she definitely needs something more age appropriate. She's going to see my stylist but we need some ideas before I take her to see him. PLEASE HELP!!!
There are a few concerns here: The long length, the 80’s sitcom star bangs, the guy thing
and, your well-intended desire to ambush her into a up-to-date
makeover.
No one past a teenybopper looks good with insanely long hair -
weather an old hippie at heart or a Crystal Gale fanatic, there is such a
thing as too much.
Like our Rapunzel poster girl pictured, most
women with hair as long as a kitchen curtain, have other issues going on whereas
they just don’t want to get with the calendar of life and submit themselves to
the hands of someone with a scissor who can actually help them look better.
Hair that long usually looks dry, unhealthy and typically is a
variety of colors from graying at the roots to a faded version of their
original color by their waist. More important, super, super long hair is simply
not flattering outside of a Cousin It contest and slicing off a yard or
so would create more shape, volume, and movement and therefore be an instant
image enhancer.
Now about you: you’ve got a job there. From how you describe your sister,
you probably are more than right that she needs a makeover, however, it’s not
that simple. First off, it’s her makeover, not yours. Unless she is
willing to give you carte blanche to help her with a total image rehaul, you
need to take her feelings into consideration.She may
need a couple of haircuts to get used to a more sophisticated presence.
Bring along some photos of favorite, realistic hairstyles to your hair
stylist and let your sister and the stylist consult on what style would suit her
best right now. A modern hairstyle is the best step to a fresh style
beginning, start small and you may work up to big results! Good luck.
