I am 75 and I am an old-time professional makeup artist everything this woman says is always right I went out and bought the eyeshadow palette that she recommended it's beautiful she makes her mother up beautiful and she is about the best person I must say on TH-cam for helping older women she really knows what she's doing I simply love to watch her channel I learn new things myself even at my age we're lucky to have young women like this who understand what it's like to be an older woman and to use the correct makeup and hairstyles God bless her❤
The challenge isnt just fine hair but thin hair as we age. And it's much more than style for hair but for the face too. These woman all had much more hair in terms of thickness then mine to start with.
I have baby fine hair with natural wave. I have had so many stylists want to put layers into my hair. I always regret when I let them. My hair appears stringy and thin when that is done. The last time I had layers was almost 4 years ago, before the 'shut down' started. I was so mad at how bad my hair looked and I couldn't get it fixed because all the businesses were closed, so I cut a jaw length blunt bob on myself. I loved it, in spite of the bad hair cut I gave myself. From then on, no more layers. And soon after that, I came across Gabi suggesting no layers for fine hair. She affirmed what I thought was true. She is still the only stylist I have heard that does not push layers. So glad I discovered her.
Gaby you have knowledge beyond your years. I live how "you get" the very subtle details that can make a huge difference to finishing hair and make up on an individual.
I just had my stylist watch Gabi's previous video on this haircut and cut my hair this way and I love it. My hair definitely looks and feels thicker. I always wear a fringe because I feel it's a more flattering look for me. So glad I found this. Thanks Gabi and your mom looks beautiful with her new cut!
I am so happy to hear that it's working for you! That is such great news! There is nothing better than a FANTASTIC haircut. It makes you feel like a whole different person.
This is great advice! A lot of hairdressers (even brad mondo!?) often suggest layering for fine hair. But I always felt like it was making my hair appear even thinner. Thank you Gabi for shining light on this issue! ❤
you are right mostly fine thin hair flies away and if one puts product on it looks greasy. some have fairly thick hair but fine texture a world of difference.
Hi Gabi, I just found your channel the other day and have subscribed! I am 70 and a former hair stylist. I also have naturally curly hair, but with keratin products, I am now finally able to wear my hair straight without being terribly worried about humidity. I have had HORRIBLE hair experiences over the years (which I think is one reason why I went into the profession, because I never knew what to do with my own hair!), but I am finding that too many stylists these days don't know how to give a GOOD cut. I've taken pictures in to stylists, I've had a curly girl cut (which I was NOT impressed with), and I am finding that they all seem to want to cut layers at a 45 degree angle leaving a mushroom shaped cut. I just had a cut a few days ago, and feel like I now have a mullet shape. I am so frustrated! I wish that I could come and have you do my hair, but I think you're in Canada? When I watched your video of the long haired cut & makeover on the over 50 gal, I got so excited, and told my husband that finally I see someone cutting hair the way I was trained. Coming out at a 90 degree angle from the head and working "up". Yes!! Now, I have to let my hair grow out "again" before I can get a decent shaping, "again". I've cut my own hair in the past, but due to having hand surgery and eye surgery, I'm at the mercy of others for awhile, besides not being able to get a good grasp on doing the back of my hair. Sigh... At any rate, finding your channel is VERY REFRESHING to me!! Thank you for what you're doing!
Thank you Gabi for putting into words what I have not been able to. I had a bob for many years but it never looked right and I tried my best to explain that the back needs to be shorter and the sides longer but no one could ever get the perfect balance between the shorter back and longer sides. You've explained it beautifully and I will no longer feel crazy trying to explain this to my stylist.
This is EXACTLY what I want. I just want to show this video to a hairdresser! I've never wanted an *sharp asymmetrical / sharply / inverted/ short back- down to a longer front ever!! But I love the way YOU explained that you do need a bit/soft bevel to give the *illusion*. Also, it never fails. It's been years since I have found a stylist that doesn't cut the bob, to where there's just so much weight sitting at the bottom! Ugh. (I've also gained a bunch of weight back since menopause, and my heart-shaped face is a lot more rounder, and I'm older now and have some of that neck issue, as well. I seriously want to go into a salon and say, "Do you have someone that can cut THIS? If they can not cut this, I do not want to go to them." I know that sounds harsh, but the crazy cost of Salon visits now.... (as a single woman, I don't have the income to spend $50/$60 even (and heck with that, you're lucky to get it styled/finishing product) every time as it's obviously going to need more maintenance ($$ cutting regularly) than if I just wore my hair longer - to get *bad* version done... Ever since I found your videos, I absolutely love them, and you are even teaching me how to color my hair at home, so hopefully, I'll be able to do that well! Keep those videos coming for us more mature girls! You are such a Fabulous, positive, REAL person - who gives me hope again. Also - your Mom is stunning too!!
Gabi, as you already know that from watching you, I went to my stylist with your video of Jocelyn and had her cut it like that. The new TH-cam picture I have up is my new haircut. Watching you literally saved my self-esteem at 60 years old. I can't thank you enough. Edit: Now, I'm trying to figure out if I want to let my bangs grow out or keep them.
Omg that is SO AMAZING TO HEAR! I am so happy to hear that our self esteem is improving. You are totally worth it and taking that time for self care and self love is so important! You look gorgeous in your profile picture.
Gabi! You are sooooo beautiful and brave! I considered a hair transplant. I have fine, thin, blond hair. My aunt's hair was see-through and it haunted me for years. Now, at 64, my hair is much better. I had a thyroid issue and had to have it removed. I took my meds and supplements and I swear by Nutrafol. Thank you for sharing this video. I cried for years. You are stunning! I appreciate you.
@@GlamGirlGabi I'm so sorry. Thyroid can make you exhausted, fat and hairless. You are just so stunning! I love all of your videos and ideas you have. And I try them all! Thank you!
I have had hypothyroid & thus thin hair x 37 yrs. Soooo depressing. I didn’t qualify for transplant bc I didn’t have enough to donate to top 😢 nothing has worked.
@nancylyon-gray3499 what is Nytrafol? I found out this year that I have a hyperthyroidism and I’m taking Levothyroxine for it. My Dr said my thyroid simply quit working! 😢Is Nytrafol a supplement that’s better or just another med that’s prescribed? Thank you so much if you answer my comment! ❤
I’m 46 and thanks to your videos I have learned that layers on my hair were not good for me. It’s a huge difference between before and now that I cut my hair straight, ❤ a whole lifetime doing it wrong 😅
I am so happy to hear that it's helped you! Layers can be great but when it comes to fine hair, if it takes away the baseline, it's just not a good look. The baseline is always the most important thing to look at when assessing what kind of cut to do on anyone.
I just rewatched this Awesome video because I too have thinning hair and this may be my next cut, but the BEST part is seeing how your Mom’s FACE goes from so serious and professional model while you’re cutting (including her little side glances at camera 😂) to that HUGE SMILE when she’s all styled and looking Fierce! Your mom is lovely and adorable, Gabi, and you gave her a FANTASTIC Cut! 🥰💕
I am tall, slim, with a small head, long oval face, high cheekbones, long neck, thin, fine hair. I wore a classic, A line, inverted bob for years and looked like an enoki mushroom! My new hairdresser suggested a bixie above chin but with layers. I nearly fainted when I saw the pile of hair on the floor but my hair actually looks thicker. Longer in back, wispy and choppy, emphasized a natural wave I never knew I had. The bangs are curtain with some shorter wisps in the center to 'disguise' my high forehead. The curtains blend into shorter side pieces emphasizing my high cheekbones. Those shorter pieces fall forward when I tuck the longer sides behind my ears but my ears don't show as much. My hair can be styled with fingers and hairspray. I have the option of using a curling iron to get a curly bob. She said none of her clients under 40 want an inverted bob because it's for old ladies. Will I keep this style? It involves more frequent cuts so I have yet to decide. Change is good!
Your mom is a beautiful lady and her new haircut is gorgeous. Love it both styled with texture/curls & sleek. Your explanation & demo of the cut is so clear. Been needing a new cut for a while so definitely need to show this to stylist. Thank you for sharing your alopecia journey. You have been thru a lot but your looks awesome. I don't have alopecia but have lost approx 50% of my hair due to illness & RXs causing severe shedding. I understand how it can make you feel since my normal hair is ultra thick and curly but now have thin hair. Thank you for this tutorial.
Mom looks beautiful!! Due to medical issues I ended up in a wheelchair, I gained A LOT of weight, had bariatric surgery which led to me losing a lot of hair. Long story short, I've been trying to find a haircut to help me feel less embarrassed and now you have given me hope! I love your videos because you seem very sincere and always give good information.
I’m so sorry for everything that you have been through! This cut may be really helpful for you. Start with a Lob so that you are 100 percent sure you like a shorter length. My biggest advice is to go slow and you can get shorter later if you want to.
Gabi, I have left comments before but not for this video. Your mom's hair looks fabulous. I have thin, fine hair and just got the same cut. I was styled straight (I have curly/wavy just like yours) and then beach waves were added when I left the salon and I loved it. Then, today I used wore it straight and it fell perfectly. My hairstylist did the same thing with using the thinning shears to take weight off the bottom and alas it looks fuller. I had let it go too long and it was thin and lifeless. This cut is amazing! You and your mom are beautiful!!
Thank you for watching everyone! If you want a daily dose of glam-spiration, follow me on instagram because I am very active on that platform: instagram.com/glamgirlgabi/ If you're interested in watching a very detailed tutorial of this haircut, you can find it on Summer's channel: th-cam.com/video/suFaaHY6YOw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=J1fs09T96O5fChh1
I have very fine, thin hair… Hairdressers have always given me layers. They say it gives me more fullness. But it always looks so thin on the ends. Thank you for this video!
Y’all are so beautiful and your sweetness shines through!! My hair is getting thin due to gastric sleeve surgery and I can’t wait to ask my stylist for this cut🥰
Jaw dropping… Ur vulnerability makes me love u even more❣️It’s painful to hear of ur struggles but even more… ur mental struggles. On the flip side, I’m glad that u found a cool hair-do that’s not only helpful, but beautiful, as r u💖
I loved your 'unflattering' haircut on you...I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm 73 and have frontal fibrosing alopecia..it took a few years to get a diagnosis b/c my docs blew me off blaming my hair loss on ageing...not all docs do that so I won't tar and feather them all with the same brush BUT it sure does seem like this kind of thing happens often to women and the elderly.
Wow! You can totally see where Gabbi gets her beauty from! Her Mother is gorgeous! Gabi looks so much like her! I wish so bad I could find a good stylist in my area! My hair is so thin and awful 😞 I need a cut so bad but afraid someone will mess it up!
Your mother is GORGOUS! The hair cut/style you gave her in this video is AWESOME! I am so impressed with what you have shown and done here, I am going to have my stylist watch it and ask her to follow your directions for my thin, skinny hair that I was cursed with! Thanks!
I had no idea you were dealing with alopecia- my heart goes out to you!! I lost 50% of my hair after covid I truly understand how depressing hair loss can be for a women . Thank you for sharing your personal journey. As far as the cut- I agree the hairline has to be cut longer than the jawline , like your mother, I too deal with neck issues, profiles can really suck!! 🤨. Thank you Gabi always enjoy your videos.
Aww❤ Gabi your mom is so beautiful and she looked so happy in the pictures with curly hair. Thank you so much for talking about this touchy subject and for being so brave and honest....God bless you I wish you all the best in life and YT growth you deserve it absolutely ❤
It is such a treat to see your beautiful Mom, Gabi! Her smile lights up a room! I adore her. Thank you for such an informative video. As a mature woman with fine hair I am more than ready for a flattering cut. The problem is finding a good stylist, that's the challenge. I know they are out there, I just need to find one. Thank you for educating and inspiring us all. Take good care, Gabi! The best to you and your beautiful family.
Thank you so much for your sweet message. You're absolutely right, finding a good stylist is the absolute KEY. My mom is the best and it makes me so happy reading all of these nice messages about her.
Concerning your alopecia, the lady who made my brows 2-3 years ago said to me she is working a lot with men for their hair loss. She is doing just a multitude of little points on their head with ink. So she create the illusion they still have hair. It's darker at end and nobody can tell they have hairloss at some places. My hairstylist have done that and he is glad. And concerning your alopecia, hair or not and I am sure of this, you will always be absolutely gorgeous.You are so luminous, generous and beautiful. Believe me. ❤
Ugh. The shorter my hair, the finer, thinner and flatter it looks 😮 it’s weird but the longer my hair, the more volume I have because then my hair has more of a wave.
Thank you for not leaving us out!! I will be 60 November 2. I am also a Hairstylist (very part time now). But I still love all makeup, hair and fashion. I find that many people leave out older women, so thank you for including us!!!
Hey Gabi! You have the best tips on feeling youthful! Could you show some cuts and styling options for those of us who have too much hair? I mean dense, fine and wavy that must be beaten into submission. 😊 Thanks, Gabi!
Your mom’s hair is so shiny and beautiful! Great haircut! I really love long hair, but my thin and fine hair is begging to differ. 😂 Unless I use a lot of product, it can look thin and stringy, especially on the sides where my hair is thinnest. I think I’m going to try this haircut, but it’s hard because I have had long hair for decades. Thanks for addressing the needs of older women (I am 51), and thank you for openly talking about alopecia and fine, thin hair. I understand about how depressed you felt immediately after your hair transplant. I never had a transplant, but when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, one of my first thoughts was that I would lose my already thin hair due to chemo and/or having to quit HRT, which managed my androgenic alopecia. Of course, it’s better to trade in my hair for my life than vice versa, but I still felt upset about my hair, and I felt ashamed about being so vain. Hearing you talk about how your alopecia made you feel de-stigmatized the whole experience for me. Great video! Keep up the great work!
Gabi! Watched your great tutorial today! I'm not a hair stylist, but my sister was- so I've picked up some tips watching her in her Salon. Started back cutting my own hair during the darned pandemic! So today, went straight to the bathroom and put on my colour and tweaked my usual French girl bob with a couple of your helpful tips too! I have fine texture blonde, but lots and lots of it still in my 60's! Cut it with clippers, and scissors... Turned out super! Compliments from my retired hairdresser neighbour already😃 Thanks Gabi!
Hello Gabi, your dedication to help older women with hair issues is absolutely amazing. In this challenging time you are a sunshine to many who found your channel. I have fine, soft, wavy and thinning hair with slightly receded front hair line. Also my face got rounder because my metabolism retired when I entered post menopausal stage 😂. In addition to your suggested haircut is there a shampoo or other products you can recommend. I stopped highlighting my hair so there is some gray here and there and I always let them air dry. Thank you 😊
Hi! I have a few volume products I adore! You can see them here: shopmy.us/collections/308275 also one of my favorite purple shampoos LADOR Purple Shampoo: a.co/d/5pmSYQO or you can check out the Better not Younger brand Silver Lining Purple Brightening Shampoo for Grey & White Hair: shrsl.com/42hx7
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I’ve been told for years to get lots of layers and texturizing. I need THICKNESS! This cut will be my tutorial for this new hairdresser I’m going to try.
Oh my gosh! I too, suffer from alopecia. I’m always told it’s only from stress 🙄. I teach middle school and kids can be cruel… For the last 3 years I’ve worn a ponytail ( or as I call it, the female combover) to avoid constant questions and comments,. I’m able to retire this year, so maybe it’ll grow back… Anyways, thanks for the video. This is normally how I like my hair to be cut. Can’t wait to try it again ❤️
So cute!! I’m getting a LOB this Saturday…. I pray the stylist is as well informed as you are about this cut. Also, I don’t want to go in like “you have to do this.. this.. this and make her mad either 😂way
What do you suggest for someone that has fine hair AND a lot of it - with a round face? When I've gotten cuts in the past, my hair lays flat because there is too much weight. Most stylists think fine hair means that it will also be thin but that is not my problem. You mom looks fantastic!
I’m 52 and want to cut my hair because it’s falling out so badly thanks to menopause but my husband doesn’t want me to cut it. I’ve put it off but my son is dating a hair stylist so I’m thinking of having her cut it.
@@Jade_902 Yuck. What about HER happiness? She doesn't feel attractive with her hair as it is! Men tend to like long hair for the sake of liking long hair. But sometimes, especially as we age, it just is no longer flattering. If her husband sees her in a nice flattering cut, he may realize he likes it better. I agree with you about the girlfriend cutting her hair It's like borrowing money from a family member or friend - could be a big mistake.
Love your content, thank you for your "older women" vids! I am 60, of German culture and look it, ha) and I really prefer to keep my hair long. I have had it long for about 5 years, and wear it behind my ears, all to the back, with some kind of styling for volume working from the front towards the top back direction. I understand this kind of length drags the face down; I am looking for styling tips (curling, pinning, sculpting, all loosely) to create more volume on top and to the back of the crown (think Mother of the Bride styles). My hair is less and quite thin but I use products and curling etc for volume and it's been working out; am considering occasional hair pieces like toppers or clip in buns etc. I don't know if you have anything along these lines in video, but here I go to search your channel. Thank you so much. Hi from BC!
I have told this to multiple stylist and they never do it right. They tell me they understand, and then afterwards it's longer in back it seems and crooked because I have 2A fine hair. Then there's the uncomfortable moment and that's usually when they tell me that my request isn't possible ans doesn’t make sense. So now my husband cuts my hair. It's a true blunt lob no frills but at least I didn't pay $85 with expectations. Im going to check out your friends video and keep mt fingers crossed that my husband will feel comfortable trying it.
Can you please do a video on what hair dye to use for people that have thinning hair, the best ones to use at home, purchased from Sally's or ??? Please recommend some and how to apply it properly so it doesn't add to further hair loss or thinning. Or what do you recommend a professional hairstylist use on a client that has hair loss and/or thinning?
Oh my goodness you and your mum look exactly the same after the hair cut and makeup. Both of you are very beautiful. Appreciate this video so much and will get my hairdresser to have a look at how this was cut. I have always loved this style and I have tried to have it done twice in my life time already always hoping that the hairdresser would get it correct. They never have, I feel more hopeful now that there are directions so to speak lol. Thank you ❤
Loved this video and your mom looks fabulous!! Im 60 and have thin fine hair. Currently I am wearing a bob cut but with layers cut into it so its looking thinner than Id like. Next time I go to my stylish I will talk with her about your advice but thinking I will need to grow out my layers before I book another appointment
I am the perfect example of fine, thin hair over 60. I find when I don’t have layers on top my hair is very flat from my ears to the top of my head. It looks terrible on my oblong shaped face. Any suggestions?
I have a Bob and my hair is fine in texture, and I always have lots of fallout. Your mom’s cut is exactly what I want, but can not find anyone in Fort Worth, Texas who can do this exact cut. It’s beautiful. What products does your mom use?
I'm 60. I have alopecia the kind that fall off and doesn't grow back . I have pixie cut . I love it I don't have the money for hair transplant I'm waiting to my hair fall all off so I can shave my head. I love your videos about makeup you are very beautiful.
Gabi, could you please post here the link to Summer's tutorial? It doesn't appear here. I am in love with your Mom's haircut and would like my stylist to replicate it. You are amazing!
Hi Gabi, LOVE your videos. I watch them all. So, I'm over 60 with fine hair and have ALWAYS been told I need layers. Your video is stating no layers. I want my hair to look as thick as possible. Please advise. Thanks so much!
I love this cut Gabi! I have thin hair but it’s curly . So it tends to get wide like a bell if it’s not textured properly. Can this blunt cut work with shorter curly hair? If not do you have any suggestions? Love your channel and thanks for sharing your personal story!
I have natural curly hair and always had to get layers for this same reason. My hair use to be very thick but menopause and covid thinned it last year. I haven't had it cut in a year and it's looking like a triangle shape. It's flat and wavy going down but bushes out near the shoulders and is more curly lol.
Next month, February 2024, I have a haircut appointment to get my hair cut in the “lob” style. The bob bel 10:39 ow the jaw line. I’m 77 and I have shoulder length hair so it won’t be a tremendous cut, but a new style just the same. My hair is on the thin side and I’m losing hair as well. I guess the same old age thing lol. As I watch this video, it’s exactly what I want my stylist to do. But that’s very difficult to tell them what to do. I live way out in the country and this place is a two person station. The owner and one other I have showed her , the perfect picture of exactly what I want and I hope she’ll understand about the slight curve towards the front like you were talking about. I got my fingers crossed while I am thinking about it. I always realize that when you see stylist with their own salon on TH-cam, they are unreachable… Like across the country or three states away. They are probably in big cities, so they can never be reached by so many of us. And, they don’t give an address or telephone number or even the name of their salon so I’m not sure what the purpose is. Thank you so much for your video! It’s just what I need for my stylist to see but…Again, thank you!!
I am 75 and I am an old-time professional makeup artist everything this woman says is always right I went out and bought the eyeshadow palette that she recommended it's beautiful she makes her mother up beautiful and she is about the best person I must say on TH-cam for helping older women she really knows what she's doing I simply love to watch her channel I learn new things myself even at my age we're lucky to have young women like this who understand what it's like to be an older woman and to use the correct makeup and hairstyles God bless her❤

This is great advice!

You've explained it beautifully and I will no longer feel crazy trying to explain this to my stylist.
You are so welcome! You are SO RIGHT. As soon as that nape looks look, everything is off balance immediately. You are definitly not crazy.

Anyone else notice a huge change in your hair after menopause?

Thank you so much Nancy. I appreciate you too!!! I also have a thyroid issue. That started the entire mess along with many other things.
@@GlamGirlGabi I'm so sorry. Thyroid can make you exhausted, fat and hairless. You are just so stunning! I love all of your videos and ideas you have. And I try them all! Thank you!
I have had hypothyroid & thus thin hair x 37 yrs. Soooo depressing. I didn’t qualify for transplant bc I didn’t have enough to donate to top 😢 nothing has worked.
@nancylyon-gray3499 what is Nytrafol? I found out this year that I have a hyperthyroidism and I’m taking Levothyroxine for it. My Dr said my thyroid simply quit working! 😢Is Nytrafol a supplement that’s better or just another med that’s prescribed? Thank you so much if you answer my comment! ❤
@@Debbie-Savings I'm not kidding Debbie. It really saved my hair. It's Nutrafol. I swear by it! Keep me posted on how you are doing. xxx
I’m 46 and thanks to your videos I have learned that layers on my hair were not good for me.
It’s a huge difference between before and now that I cut my hair straight, ❤ a whole lifetime doing it wrong 😅
I am so happy to hear that it's helped you! Layers can be great but when it comes to fine hair, if it takes away the baseline, it's just not a good look. The baseline is always the most important thing to look at when assessing what kind of cut to do on anyone.
I just rewatched this Awesome video because I too have thinning hair and this may be my next cut, but the BEST part is seeing how your Mom’s FACE goes from so serious and professional model while you’re cutting (including her little side glances at camera 😂) to that HUGE SMILE when she’s all styled and looking Fierce! Your mom is lovely and adorable, Gabi, and you gave her a FANTASTIC Cut! 🥰💕
I loooove your mom with the natural texture! Makes her look YEARS younger...and just so much fun! Thank you for the great tips!
I am tall, slim, with a small head, long oval face, high cheekbones, long neck, thin, fine hair. I wore a classic, A line, inverted bob for years and looked like an enoki mushroom! My new hairdresser suggested a bixie above chin but with layers. I nearly fainted when I saw the pile of hair on the floor but my hair actually looks thicker. Longer in back, wispy and choppy, emphasized a natural wave I never knew I had. The bangs are curtain with some shorter wisps in the center to 'disguise' my high forehead. The curtains blend into shorter side pieces emphasizing my high cheekbones. Those shorter pieces fall forward when I tuck the longer sides behind my ears but my ears don't show as much. My hair can be styled with fingers and hairspray. I have the option of using a curling iron to get a curly bob. She said none of her clients under 40 want an inverted bob because it's for old ladies. Will I keep this style? It involves more frequent cuts so I have yet to decide. Change is good!
Your mom is a beautiful lady and her new haircut is gorgeous. Love it both styled with texture/curls & sleek. Your explanation & demo of the cut is so clear. Been needing a new cut for a while so definitely need to show this to stylist. Thank you for sharing your alopecia journey. You have been thru a lot but your looks awesome. I don't have alopecia but have lost approx 50% of my hair due to illness & RXs causing severe shedding. I understand how it can make you feel since my normal hair is ultra thick and curly but now have thin hair. Thank you for this tutorial.
Mom looks beautiful!! Due to medical issues I ended up in a wheelchair, I gained A LOT of weight, had bariatric surgery which led to me losing a lot of hair. Long story short, I've been trying to find a haircut to help me feel less embarrassed and now you have given me hope! I love your videos because you seem very sincere and always give good information.
I’m so sorry for everything that you have been through! This cut may be really helpful for you. Start with a Lob so that you are 100 percent sure you like a shorter length. My biggest advice is to go slow and you can get shorter later if you want to.
@@GlamGirlGabi 💜
Gabi, I have left comments before but not for this video. Your mom's hair looks fabulous. I have thin, fine hair and just got the same cut. I was styled straight (I have curly/wavy just like yours) and then beach waves were added when I left the salon and I loved it. Then, today I used wore it straight and it fell perfectly. My hairstylist did the same thing with using the thinning shears to take weight off the bottom and alas it looks fuller. I had let it go too long and it was thin and lifeless. This cut is amazing! You and your mom are beautiful!!
Thank you for watching everyone!

I have very fine, thin hair… Hairdressers have always given me layers. They say it gives me more fullness. But it always looks so thin on the ends. Thank you for this video!
Y’all are so beautiful and your sweetness shines through!! My hair is getting thin due to gastric sleeve surgery and I can’t wait to ask my stylist for this cut🥰
Jaw dropping…
Ur vulnerability makes me love u even more❣️It’s painful to hear of ur struggles but even more… ur mental struggles. On the flip side, I’m glad that u found a cool hair-do that’s not only helpful, but beautiful, as r u💖
Awww thank you. What a sweet message. That means a lot to me.
What a beautiful haircut and style for your mom. She looks so much younger with this style. 😊
Your mom is adorable - she looks so young!! Great haircut!!
Wow your mom looks great with this cut!!!
Your mother’s hair is GORGEOUS!!! I love her make up how you did it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for tips and sharing
Thanks for watching!
I loved your 'unflattering' haircut on you...I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm 73 and have frontal fibrosing alopecia..it took a few years to get a diagnosis b/c my docs blew me off blaming my hair loss on ageing...not all docs do that so I won't tar and feather them all with the same brush BUT it sure does seem like this kind of thing happens often to women and the elderly.
WOW your mom looks great. Nice hairstyle. I have baby fine flat hair and I'm now losing my hair. Oh well, it is what it is. Loved your video!
Love how you styled your Moms hair as well as the cut!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
It looks so pretty with waves and texture, makes her look softer and younger
Wow! You can totally see where Gabbi gets her beauty from! Her Mother is gorgeous! Gabi looks so much like her! I wish so bad I could find a good stylist in my area! My hair is so thin and awful 😞 I need a cut so bad but afraid someone will mess it up!
Your mother is GORGOUS! The hair cut/style you gave her in this video is AWESOME! I am so impressed with what you have shown and done here, I am going to have my stylist watch it and ask her to follow your directions for my thin, skinny hair that I was cursed with! Thanks!
I love how you help all of us with fine hair.
I have your back :)
Your mom is gorgeous! And I love her hair. Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea you were dealing with alopecia- my heart goes out to you!! I lost 50% of my hair after covid I truly understand how depressing hair loss can be for a women . Thank you for sharing your personal journey. As far as the cut- I agree the hairline has to be cut longer than the jawline , like your mother, I too deal with neck issues, profiles can really suck!! 🤨. Thank you Gabi always enjoy your videos.
Aww❤ Gabi your mom is so beautiful and she looked so happy in the pictures with curly hair. Thank you so much for talking about this touchy subject and for being so brave and honest....God bless you I wish you all the best in life and YT growth you deserve it absolutely ❤
You’re lovely, so well spoken, and your heart radiates genuine warmth. ❤
It is such a treat to see your beautiful Mom, Gabi! Her smile lights up a room! I adore her. Thank you for such an informative video. As a mature woman with fine hair I am more than ready for a flattering cut. The problem is finding a good stylist, that's the challenge. I know they are out there, I just need to find one. Thank you for educating and inspiring us all. Take good care, Gabi! The best to you and your beautiful family.
Thank you so much for your sweet message. You're absolutely right, finding a good stylist is the absolute KEY. My mom is the best and it makes me so happy reading all of these nice messages about her.
Concerning your alopecia, the lady who made my brows 2-3 years ago said to me she is working a lot with men for their hair loss. She is doing just a multitude of little points on their head with ink. So she create the illusion they still have hair. It's darker at end and nobody can tell they have hairloss at some places. My hairstylist have done that and he is glad.
And concerning your alopecia, hair or not and I am sure of this, you will always be absolutely gorgeous.You are so luminous, generous and beautiful. Believe me. ❤
What a beautiful haircut you gave your gorgeous mom!
Mom is beautiful! I love her cut ! A great stylist is worth the cost. A great style is wash dry and wear. Awesome cut. Thank for the inspiration 😊
Ugh. The shorter my hair, the finer, thinner and flatter it looks 😮 it’s weird but the longer my hair, the more volume I have because then my hair has more of a wave.
Hi Gabi. I always appreciate your honesty and how authentic you are💕. I love your mom's haircut very much. You are both so beautiful!
Thanks Oelfah. That really means so much to me.
Thank you for not leaving us out!! I will be 60 November 2. I am also a Hairstylist (very part time now). But I still love all makeup, hair and fashion. I find that many people leave out older women, so thank you for including us!!!
You’re very welcome! I really love building this community where we can all feel seen.
Wow! I love this cut. Looks lovely on your mom. I'm going to ask my stylist to watch this video. I get my hair cut on Tuesday. Thanks, Gabi! 💜
Hey Gabi! You have the best tips on feeling youthful! Could you show some cuts and styling options for those of us who have too much hair? I mean dense, fine and wavy that must be beaten into submission. 😊 Thanks, Gabi!
Your mom’s hair is so shiny and beautiful! Great haircut!
I really love long hair, but my thin and fine hair is begging to differ. 😂 Unless I use a lot of product, it can look thin and stringy, especially on the sides where my hair is thinnest. I think I’m going to try this haircut, but it’s hard because I have had long hair for decades.
Thanks for addressing the needs of older women (I am 51), and thank you for openly talking about alopecia and fine, thin hair. I understand about how depressed you felt immediately after your hair transplant. I never had a transplant, but when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, one of my first thoughts was that I would lose my already thin hair due to chemo and/or having to quit HRT, which managed my androgenic alopecia. Of course, it’s better to trade in my hair for my life than vice versa, but I still felt upset about my hair, and I felt ashamed about being so vain. Hearing you talk about how your alopecia made you feel de-stigmatized the whole experience for me.
Great video! Keep up the great work!
Gabi! Watched your great tutorial today! I'm not a hair stylist, but my sister was- so I've picked up some tips watching her in her Salon.
Started back cutting my own hair during the darned pandemic! So today, went straight to the bathroom and put on my colour and tweaked my usual French girl bob with a couple of your helpful tips too! I have fine texture blonde, but lots and lots of it still in my 60's! Cut it with clippers, and scissors... Turned out super! Compliments from my retired hairdresser neighbour already😃
Thanks Gabi!
Oh I’m pleasantly envious of you💕
And it looks so great with those soft dimensional highlights!
Hey Dante! Yes I added them in right before I cut her hair. They're so pretty right!
@@GlamGirlGabi Indeed. I do my mother's hair too 🙂
Hello Gabi, your dedication to help older women with hair issues is absolutely amazing. In this challenging time you are a sunshine to many who found your channel. I have fine, soft, wavy and thinning hair with slightly receded front hair line. Also my face got rounder because my metabolism retired when I entered post menopausal stage 😂. In addition to your suggested haircut is there a shampoo or other products you can recommend. I stopped highlighting my hair so there is some gray here and there and I always let them air dry. Thank you 😊
Hi! I have a few volume products I adore! You can see them here: shopmy.us/collections/308275 also one of my favorite purple shampoos LADOR Purple Shampoo: a.co/d/5pmSYQO or you can check out the Better not Younger brand Silver Lining Purple Brightening Shampoo for Grey & White Hair: shrsl.com/42hx7
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I’ve been told for years to get lots of layers and texturizing. I need THICKNESS! This cut will be my tutorial for this new hairdresser I’m going to try.
Wow! Your mom looks gorgeous with her new cut!
Great video, I recently had my shoulder length hair cut shorter and the fullness is amazing. I love it. I am 60+ and I agree I look younger!
You’re gorgeous!! With or without!! Just thought I’d say the obvious. There’s always one right. Beautiful inside!! That’s what makes you shine!!
Your mom's hair came out great she's got really nice hair it's so shiny and looks so healthy
Gabi, you are so kind and genuine, I love your channel and the great instructions you offer.
Your mom is beautiful! ❤ that cut looks great on her
Oh my gosh! I too, suffer from alopecia. I’m always told it’s only from stress 🙄. I teach middle school and kids can be cruel… For the last 3 years I’ve worn a ponytail ( or as I call it, the female combover) to avoid constant questions and comments,. I’m able to retire this year, so maybe it’ll grow back… Anyways, thanks for the video. This is normally how I like my hair to be cut. Can’t wait to try it again ❤️
As an older woman And an old hairdresser and a bob wearer, I agree in full!!
So cute!! I’m getting a LOB this Saturday…. I pray the stylist is as well informed as you are about this cut.
Also, I don’t want to go in like “you have to do this.. this.. this and make her mad either 😂way
What do you suggest for someone that has fine hair AND a lot of it - with a round face? When I've gotten cuts in the past, my hair lays flat because there is too much weight. Most stylists think fine hair means that it will also be thin but that is not my problem. You mom looks fantastic!
Love this video! You're moms hair looks amazing and I'm actually filming a lob tutorial tonight!
Summer!! OMG when that tutorial comes out, DM me the link so I can add it to the pinned comment here.
@@GlamGirlGabi will do! It came out so good, I'm obsessed!
You are a gem. Really honest and sincere advice which will make it easier for me to talk to my hair stylist.❤❤❤❤
That is a beautiful classy haircut that you gave your mother! Love it!
I’m 52 and want to cut my hair because it’s falling out so badly thanks to menopause but my husband doesn’t want me to cut it. I’ve put it off but my son is dating a hair stylist so I’m thinking of having her cut it.
Do what makes YOU feel better... your husband will love how happy you feel about the new you!
Do what your husband wants. Make him happy. Think twice about having the girlfriend cut your hair. She might not do a good job, then what?
@SweetStuffOnMonar😅😅chLane
@@Jade_902 Yuck. What about HER happiness? She doesn't feel attractive with her hair as it is! Men tend to like long hair for the sake of liking long hair. But sometimes, especially as we age, it just is no longer flattering. If her husband sees her in a nice flattering cut, he may realize he likes it better. I agree with you about the girlfriend cutting her hair It's like borrowing money from a family member or friend - could be a big mistake.
Love your content, thank you for your "older women" vids! I am 60, of German culture and look it, ha) and I really prefer to keep my hair long. I have had it long for about 5 years, and wear it behind my ears, all to the back, with some kind of styling for volume working from the front towards the top back direction. I understand this kind of length drags the face down; I am looking for styling tips (curling, pinning, sculpting, all loosely) to create more volume on top and to the back of the crown (think Mother of the Bride styles). My hair is less and quite thin but I use products and curling etc for volume and it's been working out; am considering occasional hair pieces like toppers or clip in buns etc. I don't know if you have anything along these lines in video, but here I go to search your channel. Thank you so much. Hi from BC!
Love it, and her hair colour is so gorgeous! ❤
Thank you! I highlighted it right before I cut it.
Really enjoyed this video. Would love a follow-up showing how to style the lob or bob with a dyson airwrap.
You and your mom are beautiful!
Thank you!! You’re so sweet!!
Your mom is beautiful. You have a lot to look forward to. Love your work.
Thank you for sharing your story, Gabi. Your hair is beautiful and you gave your mom a beautiful bob haircut.
Thank you so much! That means the world to me.
I have told this to multiple stylist and they never do it right. They tell me they understand, and then afterwards it's longer in back it seems and crooked because I have 2A fine hair. Then there's the uncomfortable moment and that's usually when they tell me that my request isn't possible ans doesn’t make sense. So now my husband cuts my hair. It's a true blunt lob no frills but at least I didn't pay $85 with expectations. Im going to check out your friends video and keep mt fingers crossed that my husband will feel comfortable trying it.
Your mom is beautiful and so lucky to have a great hairstylist and makeup artist.
Aaaw thanks Mary. That means the world to me.
I also have had alopecia,wore a wig for ten years.I’m okay now but I still worry it might return.Thank you for sharing your story.
Can you please do a video on what hair dye to use for people that have thinning hair, the best ones to use at home, purchased from Sally's or ??? Please recommend some and how to apply it properly so it doesn't add to further hair loss or thinning. Or what do you recommend a professional hairstylist use on a client that has hair loss and/or thinning?
Use color with 10 volume developer
@@richardford7137 Thanks😊
Oh my goodness you and your mum look exactly the same after the hair cut and makeup. Both of you are very beautiful. Appreciate this video so much and will get my hairdresser to have a look at how this was cut. I have always loved this style and I have tried to have it done twice in my life time already always hoping that the hairdresser would get it correct. They never have, I feel more hopeful now that there are directions so to speak lol. Thank you ❤
Thank you! I’m 72. About a third of my hair fell out after having Covid. Love this cut.
Loved this video and your mom looks fabulous!! Im 60 and have thin fine hair. Currently I am wearing a bob cut but with layers cut into it so its looking thinner than Id like. Next time I go to my stylish I will talk with her about your advice but thinking I will need to grow out my layers before I book another appointment
Could you do a video on hairstyles and face shape? Is your face shape really important in determining your hairstyle?
How cute is your mom??? Great cut and great advice. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤
She is so cute
I am the perfect example of fine, thin hair over 60. I find when I don’t have layers on top my hair is very flat from my ears to the top of my head. It looks terrible on my oblong shaped face. Any suggestions?
Your mom looks fantastic!
Thanks for the tips. I'm celebrating 56 young on May 2nd and on my way to get a fresh cut. My hair is fine but I have lots of it. Wish me luck ❤
You got this! Happy early Bday!
i am a 75 old Hairstylist thank you for the tips with the lower part of my face no nice n now I know how to ask exactly what I need
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing. You could have saved me so many bad hair cuts. Also since you are cutting your mom's hair, we know you want the very best. ❤❤❤
Gabi, I haven’t even watched yet but want to thank you for not titling with anything about “looking younger”. 💙🌟💙
I can see where your beauty comes from, good genes, both you and your Mom are beautiful .
I have a Bob and my hair is fine in texture, and I always have lots of fallout. Your mom’s cut is exactly what I want, but can not find anyone in Fort Worth, Texas who can do this exact cut. It’s beautiful. What products does your mom use?
I'm 60. I have alopecia the kind that fall off and doesn't grow back . I have pixie cut . I love it I don't have the money for hair transplant I'm waiting to my hair fall all off so I can shave my head. I love your videos about makeup you are very beautiful.
Gabi, could you please post here the link to Summer's tutorial? It doesn't appear here. I am in love with your Mom's haircut and would like my stylist to replicate it. You are amazing!
Hi Gabi, LOVE your videos. I watch them all. So, I'm over 60 with fine hair and have ALWAYS been told I need layers. Your video is stating no layers. I want my hair to look as thick as possible. Please advise. Thanks so much!
So good. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your mom is beautiful!❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for such a sweet message :)
Love the cut on your mom! Beautiful!❤
Wow she looks amazing!
I love this cut Gabi! I have thin hair but it’s curly . So it tends to get wide like a bell if it’s not textured properly. Can this blunt cut work with shorter curly hair? If not do you have any suggestions? Love your channel and thanks for sharing your personal story!
I have natural curly hair and always had to get layers for this same reason. My hair use to be very thick but menopause and covid thinned it last year. I haven't had it cut in a year and it's looking like a triangle shape. It's flat and wavy going down but bushes out near the shoulders and is more curly lol.
This is my favorite haircut. Your mom's haircut is perfect.
Thank you so much! It’s so cute on her. She has the perfect face for it.
Beautiful hair cut! Your Mom looks stunning! 🤩❤️
Mum is lovely !
Next month, February 2024, I have a haircut appointment to get my hair cut in the “lob” style. The bob bel 10:39 ow the jaw line. I’m 77 and I have shoulder length hair so it won’t be a tremendous cut, but a new style just the same. My hair is on the thin side and I’m losing hair as well. I guess the same old age thing lol.
As I watch this video, it’s exactly what I want my stylist to do. But that’s very difficult to tell them what to do. I live way out in the country and this place is a two person station. The owner and one other I have showed her , the perfect picture of exactly what I want and I hope she’ll understand about the slight curve towards the front like you were talking about. I got my fingers crossed while I am thinking about it. I always realize that when you see stylist with their own salon on TH-cam, they are unreachable… Like across the country or three states away. They are probably in big cities, so they can never be reached by so many of us. And, they don’t give an address or telephone number or even the name of their salon so I’m not sure what the purpose is.
Thank you so much for your video! It’s just what I need for my stylist to see but…Again, thank you!!
Thanks for watching and I wish you the best of luck with your new haircut! I used to have a salon but am now working full time on content creation.
