I really like the shift to the side bangs (especially because it successfully addresses a similar issue I have with a long face plus straight, thinning hair). So flattering for her! The body perm look is an oldie but goodie - but the challenge would be finding a stylist who won’t run screaming from the room and/or really knows how to do body perms the right way. I’ve chosen to use a human hair topper to add the volume I need. Might want to address that resource for those of us 70+ followers with thin hair/bald spots, etc.
That's a great point! Volume perms are definitely a situation of finding the right person! Hair toppers can be great as well! Glad you found something that works for you!
I prefer the first style. Somehow it‘s more „her“. I am new to your channel and find it refreshing to see such enthusiasm about hairstyles and haircuts. For the first time in life I feel the passion of a hair stylist. Wonderful!
My goodness - just use hairspray! I have exactly the same stick straight bob cut w bangs . I use simple Velcro rollers in morning while getting ready / having morning coffee - and give a light spray spray when I take out rollers - I spray UNDER THE CURL - just a mist. And this gives me terrific volume at crown and the bangs are swept up in long swirl angling back 😘 classic look. And maybe during the day I'll pull up the sides and crown with pretty hair combs and in an hour I have huge volume. This is SO EASY!
Curveball #1 looks perfect! Honors her natural hair texture, and flatters her face shape. You’re a great stylist! Thanks for what you do for us mature women 💕
@@vivi549 Hi Vivi👋! The answer your to your question is no. Perming doesn't change your color at all. However, you do not want to perm colored hair, especially adding highlights or ANY color that lightens (bleaches) your hair color at all, because it WILL FRY your hair! I have the exact same type of hair as Bonnie. If you're interested in someone who has Bonnie's hair type and had several regular perms, body waves "body perms", tried everything for volume & lots of color changes, read on. If not, you have your answer & I wish you a safe & blessed weekend 😄❣️ I've done bleaching, highlights & lowlights, textured cuts, layers, all kinds of stuff through the years to add volume & tried nearly every product type to add volume to my hair, even just bangs. I have only achieved any volume lasting more than a couple hours from a perm or body wave "body peem". I've had several through the years & they have never changed my color. The difference that bleaching & perms do is they split, break the hair shaft, allowing hair to bend easier. The perm is a great way to go if you desire lasting volume Most of the time, I wear mine somewhat curly, its not super curly kinky or super dry (kind of fried) looking. Because I'm somewhat lazy, I rarely want to take more than 5 minutes to style my hair & get out the door. I style mine with a curling gel while it's wet & it ends up looking a wavy all day. If you want to keep a little of the the wet look, you can spray it with hairspray after using gel or mousse. But I can blow dry with a round brush & even use a curling iron if I really want to take the effort to zush it up for a night out. Without a perm, my hair will take a curl REALLY well from a curling iron or hot rollers, but the curl falls out VERY quickly & no lasting volume. 🤣.
The side swept bangs on Bonnie emphasize her cheekbones so nicely but the body perm would probably address all her concerns. It's a flattering look on her and would make her daily hair care regimen less frustrating.
I'm so envious of her having her natural colour at 65. I went totally white in my early 40s and coloured up for most of the years since. Now nearing 70 I've allowed it to grow out, it's bright white, and attracts attention. It's pretty short too as that works best.
We’re you a redhead when you were young? I was a towhead as a child and a blonde through my 20s. As I grew older, it got darker. I did used to have highlights put in 4 times a year. Now it’s a very dark blondish-brown. I felt so much prettier as a blonde, but I’m 65 now. I let my hair grow out during COVID and now I am clueless on what I should have done.
I grew out the dye & my hair is all white too!My hair is waist lenth & I just pull it up into a bun, through the hair tie, No bobbypins needed & very simple to fix. I've been thinking of mabe getting some of it cut off, maybe right below my shoulders. I'm 72.
I remember in my 20's a hair stylist told me I had "high school bangs"...straight across. He pushed them to the side and it made a world of difference! So classy!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that! I try. My friends used to always tell me I should go on vacation whenever I want because I'm the boss. I replied... nope. I have 250 different bosses! Each client. If I don't work with them, I'm working against them.
Justin I am so grateful for you and your channel! I am 63 years old and have been exploring new techniques and appliances to use with my fine hair. I am so happy to see you working with real women and giving real-world examples of how we can improve our looks without being super models. I like Bonnie with the side-swept bang and the bob cut best. I especially like the subtle highlights just in the front on that cute. The look is youthful, but doesn’t overpower her face, which is lovely! You have given me a great idea to do that with my own below-the-chin bob. Please keep posting! Again, I have learned so much from you on TH-cam about looking my best.
I love the side swept bangs and both curveballs! I have only one concern about the bangs, and I mention it because I have dealt with the issue. Bonnie mentioned she wears her glasses all the time. Those bangs falling over one eye will cause her to have to constantly clean her glasses. The product and/or natural hair oil in her bangs will transfer to the lens on that side, and there will be a really annoying smudge in the upper part of the lens all the time. Love the video as always! ❤
So true, plus long side swept bangs over eye can be very annoying-they tickle the eye/eyelid and tend to flop into the center of the face, especially if looking down when reading, working at computer, etc..They do look great, however, and I suppose a lot of hair spray would help keep them in place.
All of this is totally true! Great point. The way to potentially address this would be to make sure to get enough bend/volume in the bangs to have as much control as possible of them. Mix that with a bit of volume product for a bit if added control and that could help a lot with getting them lifted off the face and sitting on top oof the frames a bit rather than hanging over the lens. With that said, this is all a bit of a matter of payoff. Which would feel better for Bonnie, having a more flattering shape for her face, or less of a potential annoyance from the bangs. Everyone in the situation would have to ask themselves that question then decide what's best for them.
Yes! Sideswept bangs like these can also block peripheral vision, which can cause problems while driving. I also noticed that her glasses already add some width to her face. Designing around and showing after photos based on her first photo would be really helpful to those of us who wear glasses.
Yes, I agree with Debra Pond…I love the styles presented and the sideswept bangs trade off is a personal matter, but I’m always looking to see the glasses wearing model with her new hairstyle WITH the glasses. They can change a whole look or present new challenges one may not have thought of beforehand. Love your videos, Justin. 👍🏻👍🏻
I'd love to see a video on something I've been wondering for a while. PERMS...u touched on it here, but a full video on the modern use of perms. Any changes to the process that actually might aid us achieving hairstyles not from the 80s LOL. THANK YOU!
I think both styles look fabulous on her and she could potentially do the side swept then grow it into the long one. I love how they are both close to what she has and wants, but they look more polished and swanky! You rock Justin! I look forward to your videos on Tuesdays 🙂
Until I watched this video, I had never heard of a body perm but your suggestion of a body perm for Bonnie is just the best. I know this because back in the late 1960s, I talked a hairdresser into giving my very straight and strong blond hair a perm that would not give me any curls but just some body or bounce. She had never heard of anything like it but did as I asked and the result was just what I wanted, manageable hair. I had forgotten all about it but I will, again, look for a hairdresser who will give a body perm. Thank you, Justin. By the way, I am 83 and my hair has never gone grey but has remained the same blond colour although the texture changed somewhat in my mid sixties.
I love the perm idea. The bangs over my eyes would drive me crazy. The last pic makes her so much younger looking. Having poker straight hair myself, it can really age you. I'd love trying a perm, maybe a little more than a body perm...before I go back to short hair. At 69, I'm seriously thinking I'd like to go short again...maybe even gray.
I love the hairstyle with the side swept bangs. I would love if you would show us how to achieve that style bang through blowdrying. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I agree with everyone’s commits about the glasses. I’m around the same age and my hair is basically the same and I too wear glasses. I can’t necessarily wear contacts so I stuck with wearing them. It’s so hard to find what would look the best so I was excited to finally see someone who looks like me with the same hair problems. Thanks for all the tips. I always learn something from your videos. But I would have loved to see the style while wearing glasses.
Love the perm option for Bonnie. Her natural color is pretty, so leave that alone. As for controlling the bangs, I learned a trick from another youtuber... spray the bangs underneath. I sort of tilt my head until my bangs move away from my forehead and then spray underneath. It's been a game changer. Love the suggestions Justin. And Bonnie, you're a beautiful lady. Good luck!
Such great comments. My hair and bangs are quite a lot longer now and all blended. I do have new glasses too. I do like both options Justin picked for me.
I like both of the options. But as someone who always wear glasses, by my experience when I finally grew out my bangs I can see your first curveball has a problem. It’s that exact length of bangs that simply won’t stay nicely. I have the same hair type as she does. That bang length will drive her nuts. The bangs either need to be longer or shorter. So I think she should go with #2. I’ve had that body perm and it works great and holds for quite some time. It’s not all that much maintenance.
You're definitely not off. The length o the bangs could go a bit shorter or longer. The suggestion is more of an idea than an exact representation if that makes sense. Great insight though so thanks for adding it!
I always love your videos, ideas and your attitude. I realized recently that anything that is unflattering (out of style, not cute....), we say is "aging." Everything that is flattering is "youthful." I'm trying to use "flattering" and "unflattering" more often, now that I'm aware of this language, but it's hard!
My wife and I always enjoy your client sessions. Bonnie looks great in both styles but we think the first style is our favorite because she indicated cost was an issue for her.
I love a good bob cut. Looks good on many of us. As a person with straight fine hair a body perm isn't a bad idea. I remember getting body waves many moons ago and am now thinking maybe I should look back into that. thanks.
I've wanted a body perm for so long! I love the bob on her but also like it with the perm. I wish they would come back, especially for people with straight, fine hair.
I’m so reassured with your advise here. I’m 67yrs old with straight fine blond, greying hair. I used to get body perm but found adding highlights & lowlights did the same body but seemed to feel healthier. I dry it exactly as you describe, all directions as well as a low heat distant blow upward at the end while lifting roots lightly with fingers. It does wonders. I use L’Oréal professionals mousse before drying it & their hairspray as well. I learned to use my flat iron in a very slight bend while moving quickly which gives my hair so much more body! I lift the hair upward , starting my sweep close to root. The results are not dramatic but Just enough for me. I have a blunt cut at shoulder length with only light crown layers, with light, long fringe bangs. Thanks for your videos! I learn a lot and enjoy the before & after’s.
Justin, I love both of your suggestions. The side swept bangs really soften the angle of her face and highlight her cheekbones. I also think that the body perm would work very well for holding her style in. I have a very similar face shape and hair type as her. Back in the day, (1980's) I would get perms and ninety percent of the time they would be "Poodle Perms" that would fry my fine stick straight hair. I would love to get a perm that would just add some body and texture to my hair! Bonnie, thank you for putting yourself out there for all of us to critique and learn from! Justin, thank you for your expert advice!
I really love the square bob with side swept bangs. I have a long oval face with a big forehead and now I understand why I look so strange and droopy with certain hairstyles. Great video 🪄✨🥰
Great suggestions! It would be really important for her to be clear with her hairdresser that it is a BODY perm so that she doesn’t end up with a poodle perm. (Which my mother ends up with every 6 months sadly) 2 other extremely easy changes aren’t with the hair but to the makeup routine. She has gorgeous eyebrows but the one thing that is an instant help to make people look younger is to add some color to our brows as we age. Not talking anything permanent but maybe a light brown eyebrow pencil to just add some color to the brows. I love the fullness and shape of hers, just a little color . Second suggestion is lose the white eyeshadow that she’s using in the crease of her eyes. It’s a dated look and calling attention to the hooded eyes (which I also have and have to work with). You don’t have to spend a lot of money, Elf has little eyeshadow palettes that sell for $3 that are really good quality and value. There is one called Cream & Sugar that has a great peach color for a natural look with a touch of color or the “Berry Bad” or “Rose Water” palettes would be gorgeous for her. Even to just brush a swipe of shadow along the crease line in a medium tone (not white, not super sparkly) and that’s huge. Gorgeous woman and I hope I still look as good in a few years. 🫶🏼🥰
The recommended changes for Bonnie are what I would have said (yet I learned a lot about technique). When I ask for a body perm, NOBODY knows what that is, or they say there's no such thing. They want to CURL (which eventually--many months later--relaxes into what I want), but I'm not thrilled about all the tight curls, even using the "biggest rods they have." Where can I look? I'm not a stylist. I don't just want it for myself, I want to educate others.
Bonnie could do a perm, if she wants to. I love the Bob haircut with the side moved for a longer side bang. You just answered my question as to what I need to do for my hair. I have had straight fine hair in all different lengths for decades. My gray started coming in a few years back, but I still have so much brown pigment, but it works for me. The gray is giving me some much-needed body and wave. I am now growing my bangs out and my length out after a few years of pixies. I too, have a colic on the left top of my bangs so moving the center to the left will create a win-win situation. I love your ideas and cannot wait to see my hairstylist for my new cut. Take good care Justin and thank you for all of the awesome places you and your wife hike.
I loved Bonnie's hair post body perm. I have thin hair, cowlicks, and no body, so my hair has always been a toss up of what I will get any particular day. I do color and have for years so had to choose perm or color. But thanks a million, I am enjoying your videos.
WOW!! I stubble across your video not necessarily looking for a "hair" tip video. BUT, My God you are fantastic, a miracle worker. You have a very keen sense, a trained eye one might say, of how and what can be done. First, you touch in the #1 issue 'most' women run into as they age; and that is the loss of bone along with loss of fat in our faces. I know there are cosmetic procedures that can help in that area but not realistically for us "normal" folks who aren't movie stars or influencers. I have the exact opposite hair type of Bonnie. I have very curly (when short) and wavy as my hair grows out. I also gave VERY thick or a LOT of hair. I always warn hair stylist of this when making an appointment that they might need extra time or a second set of hands and it isn't until they see me and start to work on my hair that they say, "you weren't kidding, you really have a lot of hair." I have been so discouraged with not being able to find someone who has the skill set to give me a decent cut/style. I end up letting it grow (and grow) and looking like "Cousin It" from the Adam's Family. Thank you for sharing your talent. If you were anywhere close to me, I'd be booking an appointment with you asap.
Wow! You’re a genius! What a difference the bangs made! I absolutely love the last style with the perm and layers!! I’m now 55 and haven’t gotten a body perm since I was in my 20’s but that’s how I used to deal with my fine hair back then. I would blow dry it straight and use a curling iron for some bend. it was so easy to manage. This has got me wondering if maybe I should try a body perm again.🤔
I love all your solutions. Each has good merits. I’ve been thinking about bringing my long bangs back or a body perm! So timely to see this. Not sure what my change will be, but you’ve definitely helped me feel confident to make a difference in style and hopefully my outlook. ❤️
Do the perm!!! I had a perm done last summer. My thyroid went crazy, and I lost about ⅓ of my hair. I had it cut shorter, to give the illusion of fullness, and the stylist hacked it. The only way I could cover up the uneven layers, was with curls. I've had about 4 inches of growth in the last 10 months, and my curl is still beautiful. I'll likely get it touched up at the 1 year mark.
I am going a very similar issue. I like the swept bangs . I can see from this video, I need to shorten my length and move my part farther to the side . Great advice as always.
Think she should try a cut (diff part, bangs & rounded bob in back)try product, blow dry, “C” hair straightening technique. THEN go to volume perm. The cut & side swept bang go a long way to giving her a more youthful look. Bonnie - you have beautiful skin!
I thought as soon as I saw the second curveball that there was a body perm involved! Not a bad idea for someone with Bonnie’s hair type. Also, I love the side swept bangs and I too, struggle with strong cowlicks in front. I am definitely of the dude to side blow dry method for solving that problem because it does really work.
Agree with all the comments about bangs and glasses. I really can't stand having hair flop in my face. My hair used to be thicker not just in amount but in diameter of the actual hair. I think you have me seriously considering getting a body perm. I used to get perms all the time when the "curly" look was in decades ago but I'm thinking a little extra upmf wouldn't/couldn't hurt. For hair like mine I used to like to get it colored because it added extra thickness. Now that they put a lot of conditioners in it I don't get the same lift so now I'm opting to just get it streaked all over. A lot of conditioner in my hair just makes it flop and get oily faster.
This confirms a lot of the theories I have as well. I also have a longer face and I have grown out my hair. I look so much better with bangs or shorter hair. Good motivation to finally get a cut.
For Bonnie both your looks are great! You do such wonderful work Justin! Curveball #2 is my favorite, I must add imo the chocolate color while not intended curveball looks delicious on her! I cannot stand my hair if I don't have a perm and we are same age! I'm due now after prob about 14 mos. Personally I love curls, as a by product the body in my long fine yet thick hair is a must!! Have suggested the body wave/perm to a couple others that weren't happy with their style and Yes - those words have a negative emotion for most.. 😂 Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! You're definitely spot on with the perm. There's a negative idea associated with them due to how badly they can go but done right they can be a game changer!
My hair is stick strait too … with a thinner face !! I know !!! I’ve made a project out of the right cut, style etc and once in place … it’s a cinch. Chin length, a few layers , stacked a bit in the back… and my hair is brunette with a few highlights . I’m 75 yrs old and want to stay looking younger for as long as I can …. I do use some gel and big curling iron for my lift and bend . Takes me 15 mins start to finish and it’s great . A good cut for your particular hair …. is key.
I like the corrections and curveball #1 because they seem like they would be less maintenance and less expensive since she mentioned she doesn't color because of the cost. Nice video!
Love seeing your content again...I think your advice for Bonnie really suits her desires. She can start with moving her part and get a shoulder length trim. Looks great while she continues to grow her hair, if she wants, and I think from what she said a body wave would give her the bend she is looking for.
This lady has nothing to lose by getting a perm. In fact I agree 100% She is fortunate she has thick hair. I have fine thin hair and I don’t know what is best. A perm for one thing.
I’m glad you presented the body perm - I have been wondering about this. It seems that perm is a dirty word these days, but I imagine they are quite different than the glorious days of the 80’s! If only I could find a proper hair stylist! I know that he or she is out there!
Ok, which option do you like best for Bonnie??
Curveball number one
@@louannhuber2651 I like that one too!
Option one but both look awesome! I need to send my pictures….thanks for these great videos!
curve ball no1, but that shift of parting to start made the most dramatic difference 👍🏼
I'm also a fan of curveball #1!
so wonderful to see a stylist who considers the persons face instead of just cutting the hair

Sharp. Professional yet relaxed.
I like the perm idea. As a person with straight hair, the support that a body wave gives makes styling so much easier!
Exactly!
Won't a perm alter your hair color?

Oh number 1! Softens her whole look.
Crazy right!
Oh wow, I just watched the straightening tutorial! So excited to try out. 😊

By the way, I am 83 and my hair has never gone grey but has remained the same blond colour although the texture changed somewhat in my mid sixties.
I love the perm idea. The bangs over my eyes would drive me crazy. The last pic makes her so much younger looking. Having poker straight hair myself, it can really age you. I'd love trying a perm, maybe a little more than a body perm...before I go back to short hair. At 69, I'm seriously thinking I'd like to go short again...maybe even gray.
The simple changes sure softened her appearance. Like you said "not drastic" but definitely impactful! ❤
I love the hairstyle with the side swept bangs. I would love if you would show us how to achieve that style bang through blowdrying. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I like both! But I think the bob is a very flattering and easy to maintain fix.
I agree with everyone’s commits about the glasses. I’m around the same age and my hair is basically the same and I too wear glasses. I can’t necessarily wear contacts so I stuck with wearing them. It’s so hard to find what would look the best so I was excited to finally see someone who looks like me with the same hair problems.
Thanks for all the tips. I always learn something from your videos. But I would have loved to see the style while wearing glasses.
I love #2! I agree the perm would be worth the effort!
Thank you! I agree totally!
I agree with you. I had a body perm too and it was the end of my struggle! Love it
Love the perm option for Bonnie. Her natural color is pretty, so leave that alone. As for controlling the bangs, I learned a trick from another youtuber... spray the bangs underneath. I sort of tilt my head until my bangs move away from my forehead and then spray underneath. It's been a game changer. Love the suggestions Justin. And Bonnie, you're a beautiful lady. Good luck!
Such great comments. My hair and bangs are quite a lot longer now and all blended. I do have new glasses too. I do like both options Justin picked for me.
Bob with beveling at the nape and swept bangs look awesome ❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like the last version where she has the side-swept bangs, shorter ends with a body perm. Very nice!
Perm -yes for body and shaping! Longer length looks perfect too!
I like both of the options. But as someone who always wear glasses, by my experience when I finally grew out my bangs I can see your first curveball has a problem. It’s that exact length of bangs that simply won’t stay nicely. I have the same hair type as she does. That bang length will drive her nuts. The bangs either need to be longer or shorter. So I think she should go with #2. I’ve had that body perm and it works great and holds for quite some time. It’s not all that much maintenance.
You're definitely not off. The length o the bangs could go a bit shorter or longer. The suggestion is more of an idea than an exact representation if that makes sense. Great insight though so thanks for adding it!
Good point. I grew out my bangs for this reason. Took a few years, but it has its advantages.
All of the options look great on her! She should go for the perm. Love the location too!
I think so too! Thank you! That was in Bend Oregon.
Being from Poulsbo, WA. Love seeing bits and pieces of this corner of the country.
I always love your videos, ideas and your attitude. I realized recently that anything that is unflattering (out of style, not cute....), we say is "aging." Everything that is flattering is "youthful." I'm trying to use "flattering" and "unflattering" more often, now that I'm aware of this language, but it's hard!
Aging, yes. What's wrong with aging. I like your work, I'm not a fan of long- winded explanations.
Love your suggestions for Bonnie. She is naturally beautiful and the changes you mentioned are stunning on her. Thanks, Justin!
Thank you!! I appreciate that!
My wife and I always enjoy your client sessions. Bonnie looks great in both styles but we think the first style is our favorite because she indicated cost was an issue for her.
Good catch!
A guy with a backpack hiking talking about hair? Yea, I’m going to follow.💕
You did it ! As an older woman who wears a bob, I loved the look!
I love a good bob cut. Looks good on many of us. As a person with straight fine hair a body perm isn't a bad idea. I remember getting body waves many moons ago and am now thinking maybe I should look back into that. thanks.
PERM all day long! Halle Berry in the 90s being my favourite look
I love curveball number one! It's amazing how much different her face looks with just a few tweaks! A-mazing as usual!! Thanks Justin!
Thank you! That's one of my favorite things about all of this. Small changes create a large impact!
I've wanted a body perm for so long! I love the bob on her but also like it with the perm. I wish they would come back, especially for people with straight, fine hair.
I’m so reassured with your advise here. I’m 67yrs old with straight fine blond, greying hair. I used to get body perm but found adding highlights & lowlights did the same body but seemed to feel healthier. I dry it exactly as you describe, all directions as well as a low heat distant blow upward at the end while lifting roots lightly with fingers. It does wonders. I use L’Oréal professionals mousse before drying it & their hairspray as well. I learned to use my flat iron in a very slight bend while moving quickly which gives my hair so much more body! I lift the hair upward , starting my sweep close to root. The results are not dramatic but Just enough for me. I have a blunt cut at shoulder length with only light crown layers, with light, long fringe bangs. Thanks for your videos! I learn a lot and enjoy the before & after’s.
Justin, I love both of your suggestions. The side swept bangs really soften the angle of her face and highlight her cheekbones. I also think that the body perm would work very well for holding her style in. I have a very similar face shape and hair type as her. Back in the day, (1980's) I would get perms and ninety percent of the time they would be "Poodle Perms" that would fry my fine stick straight hair. I would love to get a perm that would just add some body and texture to my hair! Bonnie, thank you for putting yourself out there for all of us to critique and learn from! Justin, thank you for your expert advice!
I really love the square bob with side swept bangs.
I have a long oval face with a big forehead and now I understand why I look so strange and droopy with certain hairstyles.
Great video 🪄✨🥰
Great suggestions! It would be really important for her to be clear with her hairdresser that it is a BODY perm so that she doesn’t end up with a poodle perm. (Which my mother ends up with every 6 months sadly)
2 other extremely easy changes aren’t with the hair but to the makeup routine. She has gorgeous eyebrows but the one thing that is an instant help to make people look younger is to add some color to our brows as we age. Not talking anything permanent but maybe a light brown eyebrow pencil to just add some color to the brows. I love the fullness and shape of hers, just a little color .
Second suggestion is lose the white eyeshadow that she’s using in the crease of her eyes. It’s a dated look and calling attention to the hooded eyes (which I also have and have to work with). You don’t have to spend a lot of money, Elf has little eyeshadow palettes that sell for $3 that are really good quality and value. There is one called Cream & Sugar that has a great peach color for a natural look with a touch of color or the “Berry Bad” or “Rose Water” palettes would be gorgeous for her. Even to just brush a swipe of shadow along the crease line in a medium tone (not white, not super sparkly) and that’s huge.
Gorgeous woman and I hope I still look as good in a few years. 🫶🏼🥰
NO PERM ruins your hair
The white eye crease is back and so bright on many utubers of many ages. It isn't flattering!
Great post. Thanks. You do have a nice tone and tenor!
@@maddscientist3170 Is that, 'NO! Perm ruins your hair', or 'NO PERM ruins your hair'? The power of punctuation! 🙂
@@maddscientist3170 only if it’s done wrong or by a person who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Nice! As someone who always looks old once I grow out my bangs, this certainly works!
The recommended changes for Bonnie are what I would have said (yet I learned a lot about technique).
When I ask for a body perm, NOBODY knows what that is, or they say there's no such thing. They want to CURL (which eventually--many months later--relaxes into what I want), but I'm not thrilled about all the tight curls, even using the "biggest rods they have."
Where can I look? I'm not a stylist. I don't just want it for myself, I want to educate others.
I can't find either!
Nailed it with the part and side swept bangs, Justin!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Loved the idea of the side bang and especially the body perm idea!
Never heard of a body perm. That is a fantastic way to add shape/volume. Thnx!!
Bonnie could do a perm, if she wants to. I love the Bob haircut with the side moved for a longer side bang. You just answered my question as to what I need to do for my hair. I have had straight fine hair in all different lengths for decades. My gray started coming in a few years back, but I still have so much brown pigment, but it works for me. The gray is giving me some much-needed body and wave. I am now growing my bangs out and my length out after a few years of pixies. I too, have a colic on the left top of my bangs so moving the center to the left will create a win-win situation. I love your ideas and cannot wait to see my hairstylist for my new cut. Take good care Justin and thank you for all of the awesome places you and your wife hike.
Love the soft bangs! I think she should try the bob first and then if she is still needing volume, then the body perm is a good option. Great advice.
Wow, what a difference! I think your suggestions are spot on, love them!
Love the simple Bob and side swept bangs.
The perms will eventually cause her hair to break
I loved Bonnie's hair post body perm. I have thin hair, cowlicks, and no body, so my hair has always been a toss up of what I will get any particular day. I do color and have for years so had to choose perm or color. But thanks a million, I am enjoying your videos.
WOW!! I stubble across your video not necessarily looking for a "hair" tip video. BUT, My God you are fantastic, a miracle worker. You have a very keen sense, a trained eye one might say, of how and what can be done.
First, you touch in the #1 issue 'most' women run into as they age; and that is the loss of bone along with loss of fat in our faces. I know there are cosmetic procedures that can help in that area but not realistically for us "normal" folks who aren't movie stars or influencers.
I have the exact opposite hair type of Bonnie. I have very curly (when short) and wavy as my hair grows out. I also gave VERY thick or a LOT of hair. I always warn hair stylist of this when making an appointment that they might need extra time or a second set of hands and it isn't until they see me and start to work on my hair that they say, "you weren't kidding, you really have a lot of hair."
I have been so discouraged with not being able to find someone who has the skill set to give me a decent cut/style. I end up letting it grow (and grow) and looking like "Cousin It" from the Adam's Family. Thank you for sharing your talent. If you were anywhere close to me, I'd be booking an appointment with you asap.
Wow! You’re a genius! What a difference the bangs made! I absolutely love the last style with the perm and layers!! I’m now 55 and haven’t gotten a body perm since I was in my 20’s but that’s how I used to deal with my fine hair back then. I would blow dry it straight and use a curling iron for some bend. it was so easy to manage. This has got me wondering if maybe I should try a body perm again.🤔
I love all your solutions. Each has good merits. I’ve been thinking about bringing my long bangs back or a body perm! So timely to see this. Not sure what my change will be, but you’ve definitely helped me feel confident to make a difference in style and hopefully my outlook. ❤️
I've never heard of a body perm! Genius! And by the way, I love the bit of color on Bonnie.
Do the perm!!! I had a perm done last summer. My thyroid went crazy, and I lost about ⅓ of my hair. I had it cut shorter, to give the illusion of fullness, and the stylist hacked it. The only way I could cover up the uneven layers, was with curls. I've had about 4 inches of growth in the last 10 months, and my curl is still beautiful. I'll likely get it touched up at the 1 year mark.
I love what the perm would do for Bonnie!
I love the look with the perm, especially because she wants to grow her hair, and this keeps the length while adding volume.
I love the side swept bangs! Either length looks good but a side swept bang makes such a difference because it accentuates the cheekbones so we’ll . 💕
I would definitely do the body perm.
Oh my gosh!!! You're the bomb!! This is VITAL information for us ladies! THANK YOU!!
Bonnie looks great! Thank you Bonnie, this was very inspirational.
Body perm for the win!
I am going a very similar issue. I like the swept bangs . I can see from this video, I need to shorten my length and move my part farther to the side . Great advice as always.
Think she should try a cut (diff part, bangs & rounded bob in back)try product, blow dry, “C” hair straightening technique. THEN go to volume perm.
The cut & side swept bang go a long way to giving her a more youthful look. Bonnie - you have beautiful skin!
I love this take!
I thought as soon as I saw the second curveball that there was a body perm involved! Not a bad idea for someone with Bonnie’s hair type. Also, I love the side swept bangs and I too, struggle with strong cowlicks in front. I am definitely of the dude to side blow dry method for solving that problem because it does really work.
She should get a perm. She’d love how easy it is along with the different styles you can get.
Agree with all the comments about bangs and glasses. I really can't stand having hair flop in my face. My hair used to be thicker not just in amount but in diameter of the actual hair. I think you have me seriously considering getting a body perm. I used to get perms all the time when the "curly" look was in decades ago but I'm thinking a little extra upmf wouldn't/couldn't hurt. For hair like mine I used to like to get it colored because it added extra thickness. Now that they put a lot of conditioners in it I don't get the same lift so now I'm opting to just get it streaked all over. A lot of conditioner in my hair just makes it flop and get oily faster.
This confirms a lot of the theories I have as well. I also have a longer face and I have grown out my hair. I look so much better with bangs or shorter hair. Good motivation to finally get a cut.
The perm would be like brow laminate, I get it. Add movement. I think you're spot on with your suggestions, too. Thanks 😊
The perm style is my favourite!
Great ideas!…I love the perm idea looks awesome on her!
For Bonnie both your looks are great! You do such wonderful work Justin! Curveball #2 is my favorite, I must add imo the chocolate color while not intended curveball looks delicious on her!
I cannot stand my hair if I don't have a perm and we are same age! I'm due now after prob about 14 mos. Personally I love curls, as a by product the body in my long fine yet thick hair is a must!! Have suggested the body wave/perm to a couple others that weren't happy with their style and Yes - those words have a negative emotion for most.. 😂
Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! You're definitely spot on with the perm. There's a negative idea associated with them due to how badly they can go but done right they can be a game changer!
I love body perms. They make such a difference with straight, thin hair. I get a body perm at least once a year.
Side swept bang; bit of volumizor; brushing upside down before set! All great tips #Justin !
A body perm is a good idea. I also like a tad touch of color around the face.
Curveball #1! Love it for her.
Yep, I have a perm for the same reason! It's my Easy button
My hair is stick strait too … with a thinner face !!
I know !!!
I’ve made a project out of the right cut, style etc and once in place … it’s a cinch. Chin length, a few layers , stacked a bit in the back… and my hair is brunette with a few highlights . I’m 75 yrs old and want to stay looking younger for as long as I can ….
I do use some gel and big curling iron for my lift and bend .
Takes me 15 mins start to finish and it’s great .
A good cut for your particular hair …. is key.
The last idea is the best one.
simple but great different overall result for her 👍
I like the corrections and curveball #1 because they seem like they would be less maintenance and less expensive since she mentioned she doesn't color because of the cost. Nice video!
I had a perm for 2 years a few years ago…I loved it.
Love seeing your content again...I think your advice for Bonnie really suits her desires. She can start with moving her part and get a shoulder length trim. Looks great while she continues to grow her hair, if she wants, and I think from what she said a body wave would give her the bend she is looking for.
Beautiful restyle. A very pretty improvement.
Omg - I used to get my hair permed and was thinking about that just recently!!! So glad to hear you say that!
That’s what I was referring to. She would look s fabulous
This lady has nothing to lose by getting a perm. In fact I agree 100% She is fortunate she has thick hair. I have fine thin hair and I don’t know what is best. A perm for one thing.
Great overall advice! I really like the perm idea!
As usual Justin, you are so clear in your explanations and spot on. Thanks again! I’m in the same boat and my stylist is doing a great job!
I’m glad you presented the body perm - I have been wondering about this. It seems that perm is a dirty word these days, but I imagine they are quite different than the glorious days of the 80’s! If only I could find a proper hair stylist! I know that he or she is out there!
Love the last one. Much less severe than the original.
I would love to see after pics to see if they took your advice and how it turned out. That would be fun!
I love your videos!! ❤
