- The 3 BEST hairstyles for women over 40, that I've discovered from doing hair professionally for over 25 years. It doesn't matter if you like long hairstyles, medium length or short hairstyles...this video has you covered. As a professional hairstylist, the majority of my clients were over 40 years old and female. After working with thousands of clients, I've discovered 3 hairstyles that really stand out. Clients love them because they're flattering, they help address some of the things that happen as we age, which means the people who wear them look more youthful, AND the styles are timeless! If you have long hair and your looking for the best long hairstyle, OR you have medium length hair or even short hair, these hairstyles will work great for you. These hairstyles also work well if you have fine hair, thin hair, thick hair, wavy hair or curly hair. I promise, all the styles WILL work.

So…which is your favorite???
I have had hair of various lengths over the years, but I love a bob. Currently I have a bob with side swept bangs that I am growing out to shoulder length. I would love style tips on a longer bob!
I am all for the long one. I'll be of to the hairdresser tomorrow hoping I will look better afterwards. 😄. I am 62 and had over the bum length hair. I have already had 40cm taken of. It's now shoulderblade length, but, unless I pleat it after washing and keep the pleats in for 3 days, there is no volume. Hopefully some layers will solve the "no volume on top of the head" problem.
Greetings from sunny Ireland.
I personally love healthy long hair. But some women have really cute features that a short cut really highlights. I’m glad that old rule of no long hair after 45 has been done away with.
I've had a shoulder length Bob for quite a few years. I recently had it cut a few inches shorter. I also asked for the back to be cut a little shorter after watching your videos. It looks MUCH more flattering, and I've had some nice complaints!
For me it is difficult as I have frizzy, curly and thick fine hair...the best for me,is long layered, but with small face, so always tied up...my favorite is straight layered bob
Thank you! I currently have a long, layered cut and just turned 70. I find it is not only flattering with my naturally streaked gray hair but it covers some of the sagging in my neck ( argh!). Love your channel.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. I’m glad you found a style that works well for you! I love hearing that.
Oh yes, the aging neck!
That's exactly why iv been growing my hair long..lol. I'm 52 and have thick curly hair that used to be red now silver and ash. And I used to love short hair but not on me anymore. So glad I'm not the only one to feel as you. And I bet you look wonderful!.
Have long not-so-well-layered, thick, wavy (frizzy) hair. Stylists don't seem to know how to layer it to prevent a triangle. I keep refering them to you & have sent them links! Would like to see more on good layering, plz! Enjoy watching you.
Love all the styles! Wished I lived near your salon I be a new client! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I appreciate that vote of confidence!
Me too!
Margie I think Justin would have quite a queue as I’d also love to have my hair done by him!!
I recently went from long hair to a pixie, and I love what you said about pixies. You put into words what I was seeing in pictures and on myself, that if pixies are cut right, they automatically give you a kind of facelift. I am almost 70 and feel I look way younger with short hair for that reason. Would love to see more videos about styling products and how to use them with pixies, especially thick, wavy hair. Thank you for your channel!
That’s awesome! I hear what you’re saying for sure, that’s one of the great things about short haircuts when they’re done right! It really does Lyft everything. I’ll definitely consider creating some videos on those topics! Thanks for the feedback.
@@justinhickox Yes, please! I would love to see some shorter haircuts for thick, wavy hair. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
After not having my hair cut/styled for 5 months ( you might recall my stylist of 30+ years has been out with surgery and may not be going back to work). I printed out your info sheets on how to find a good stylist....THANK YOU! The salon I selected did everything step-by-step (as per your recommendations). They asked for pictures of what I had, what I wanted, and what my at-home hair care regimen was and we were able to effectively communicate to reach the best outcome. The stylist and I settled on a soft layered, shoulder length style, similar to #2 in this video (also very similar to one of your previous videos which I showed her). I am SO happy! Thanks for giving me the tools I needed to find my "happy " hair. Oh, I do plan to continue following your channel; you always provide your followers/subscribers with great information!😁
Hu, are by chance in Arizona?
I’m 57 and have very long fine thin hair all one length and I love it ! Took me many years to get but when I quit blow drying and ironing and styling ! It grew like crazy and it’s just so easy! Thanks for the info! 🥰
I have fine hair that is fairly thick and my favorite is the layered bob! I keep mine long enough that I can still pull it back off my neck when it's hot. What I would love to see is a video on how to do the layers properly, so that you still keep that bob line at the ends while doing enough layering that you don' t wind up with the "dreaded triangle shape". Plus if you could address where beveling in the back comes into the layering that would be great.
Yesssss! I’d love to see that too!
Yes would love that too with a variation for fine thinish hair (low density). I have a lot of wave verging on curl and want a bob that has enough layers to not turn into the dreaded triangle but not so many layers that it’s looks thinner. I have not totally understood your videos on layering Justin - I need layering for dummies I guess. Thanks!
Would love to see how to video(s) on styling each of those cuts. I learn so much from watching your videos!
Thank you for that feedback! I’ll definitely consider making videos about those.
@@justinhickox agree on how to style. I went from long layered hair and now a very choppy shag bob like cut which I love but with curly hair, I am not really sure the best way to style when I want to part different or pull on the side back. Thank you!
I'm 49 with fine curly hair in a layered bob. Curly hair doesn't always behave and I've learned over the years to have 2 things in my hair arsenal: a stylist who is knowledgeable in cutting curly hair and my own info on myself (lifestyle, face shape, curl type). And that has made all the difference. I love your videos! Keep em coming! Would love to see various ways to style a LOB showing different hair textures (fine, curly, wavy etc
So glad I found you & your videos! So helpful, TY
Your timing is perfect! I’m actually on my way to my hair stylist right now and love the long layered look!!! Thank you!!!!
Fantastic video. I so appreciate how you take time to educate us about hair. You’re truly the best! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I have low density curly hair. Could you do videos targeting curly hair? How to manage it, care, haircuts, styling, etc? Thanks
Yea please!! For wavy and curly hair
Justin, you simply are the greatest!! You have an unerring eye for shape, line, volume, which I’ve never found in anyone but myself. I am tall, slender, with extremely dense, thick, straight hair. Over the years it has been extremely difficult to find a style that works beautifully. Thanks to you and myself, I now wear a version of style #3. Love you and your work!!
Actually Justin, I’ve worn all three styles at some point in my life. I’m currently in the ‘long layered’ stage and it has been many years since my hair has been this long (half way down my back). Longer hair has been so much more versatile for me: when a hot flash hits, the hair goes up. When I get a little chilly, the hair comes down. 😁
Hot up, cool I can actually wear it down. If I lived in a cooler climate I'd wear a messy bun a lot less 😁
Agree! If I had a pixie my ears would freeze all winter!
Maca makes hot flashes go away❣️🤩🥳
@@delicatedamsel8734 Maca? What’s maca?
I've had all 3. Right now I have long layers with natural salt and pepper. At 63 I finally let my bangs grow out and love it. Thank you for all the great information you provide!
Hi Justin, I love all 3! I currently have your best version of #2-with the back layered to reduce extra fullness. I recently saw #3 on someone and have been pondering it since. I’d say you got all three styles perfectly!
About 3 years ago my stylist gave me a shag cut for my curly hair. I'm in love! it's easy to maintain and I have received so many compliments!
I have thick curly hair. Most of my life it was long with layers. I just had a choppy shag/bob like cut and love it!!! I think the pixie cuts are great too.
That sounds interesting... I have 3B hair and had a regular layered cut with some balayage last week, but I might think of that shag cut. I confess I had to google what shag cut is 😃
@@adrianavargova I've always had just kind of regular long layers. So I could straighten my hair also. But it never gave my curls the lift and movement I've gotten with the shorter shag layers. It magical. Now I'm afraid I get in the "hair style rut" because I never want to change! 😆
@@adrianavargova you will love it!
@@terryshihtzumom The problem is, that my hairdresser doesn't want to do bigger layers on my hair... I asked her several times. She said it wouldn't look neat 🤷♀️ And it is quite difficult to find a hairdresser who knows how to treat curly hair.
Loving my new pixie Bob cut! So easy and youthful looking.
Love them all !!! Like the pixie bob the best.
I love your videos, they’re fun,informative and unique! You have a real talent for communicating and you obviously love making women look beautiful.
I have a layered bob and I love it. Very easy to maintain and blow out. Thanks Justin 👏👍
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Love the layered bob! Of course, your wife is so pretty she would look good in any hair style!
Great suggestions
You’re looking wonderful Justin!!! Thank you for your videos!!
Thank you!!! I’m glad I can help!
You are so informative. I really enjoy listening to you
Loved this. Due to your previous vids I had 3 feet of hair removed to now sport a long pixie, similar to the lady with med brown hair. I love my new style, thanks for all the tips I was able to use and share with my stylist.
Thank you! I found this very entertaining btw 😊
I am very partial to long hair & would love to learn more about what you’re calling the long layered cut. Thank you for all you do!!
I’m 52 and have the layered bob! It’s very versatile which is great. I often get compliments on my hair which is also great!
I really like the pixie. Finally someone addresses the issues of the angle in which it is cut. Thanks
I have the long layers and have had it for years. I’ve had variations with the length and also experimented with how short I’ve taken the layers, added bangs and grown bangs out. But longer layers is really the only thing that works and looks good with my thick wavy hair. :) sometimes I get bored but regret any big changes so now I experiment with changing my part.
That’s a great idea! Sometimes it’s not about making big changes it’s about making small changes they can have a big impact! Well done!
This is fun, love your channel! Yes, I am over 40 and currently have a layered bob with a slightly stacked back. I love it and got right before I saw your video, so nice to have the confirmation of what I chose for myself. Will absolutely subscribe!
Thank you for this! I am going to show my stylist
Love everything you do.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Your videos are so helpful and interesting. You’re funny too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much Dawn!
Love all 3 styles and I’ve had the first 2. As I’ve aged my hair has gone thinner and having the long layered style is harder because my ends are already thin. I’ve opted for a blunt cut in the back with long bangs to frame the face. The bangs are past my cheeks and the back is a little past the shoulders. I would love to try the pixie but not sure if it would suit my face shape or facial features.
I liked them all. I think it depends on the person - their face shape and the look they're trying to create - as to which one they would choose. I have a short layered bob which I tend to scrunch to get a bit of a "beachy wave" effect, but I can also blow dry it smooth if I want. I've learned such a lot from your videos, especially about getting volume in the right places, and like you always say, a small change can make a big difference. Looking forward to your next one 💇♀️
Awww, Justin! You are a hoot and I love your sense of humor! I trust your hair prowess..😂
Amazing content as always…and yes would love to see you styling tips for these hair styles.
I would love to see more specifically about how to talk to a stylist about the pixie cut. Also, maybe how it can be styled a couple of different ways. (I have super thick, heavy hair so doing it on a thick model would be even better!) :) Keep up the good work! Love your videos!
You are absolutely awesome!! Love your sense of humor- your content is just what I needed-I have curly thick hair and love blowouts- I’m hoping this layered look will work for me💞💕💖🌹
Have worn many of the various bob styles and still do so. Classic timeless cut.
Justin yes please do a video on how to style the long layered look. I love your channel! My hair is fine with. medium thickness. My best look is the one I walk out of a hair salon with.
Please include how to apply product before blow drying. It’s so challenging to do that for myself.
I live in, and love different versions of the Pixie! It suits me, suits my lifestyle, and I love it! Thanks for the great video! 🌹
Thank you! I appreciate that. Yes the pixies definitely a very solid hairstyle!
How have I been on TH-cam this long and not found until this evening! I love what you said in the beginning 👍🏼
Thank you! Do u have a video explaining concave/convex, square/round layers and the resulting look of each?
Yes, I would love to see a video on styling the short style. My hairdresser is trying to encourage me to get this style of cut due to my thinning on top.
Love the layered bob! I'm 63 with shoulder length hair & I think the layered Bob would look nice on me. I always enjoy spending time with you ❤️ 💛
Blessings!
You recently gave me suggestions on my haircut on your TH-cam channel. I have Parted my hair on the side now but I did leave one side long and got the other cut short in an asymmetrical cut. My next step Is a pixie and this video just confirmed why I want to get one
Just in the process of growing out my hair from super short ugh 😣 lol ! But am going to get there ! The second set is my aim ! Thanks Justin ! 🙏🙏🙏
You will get there! 👍 I am finally back to my shoulder long layers from a pixie cut after a year
Lovely 🙏🏽
Would love to see cutting and styling for these!! Awesome!!
Sound good?? Absolutely! That’s why we’re here although I’m late. Thank you for your suggestions
I would also love to see videos on how to style each of those cuts! Your videos are wonderful!
Thank you for this video. 67 year old with layered long hair.
It has taken me four years to grow out the dye. (Slow growing hair). Thanks to your videos I was brave enough to go with layers. Makes the hair so easy to look after. Why did I dye my hair for so long? Natural grey/white highlights and hair in great condition. Should add that I rarely use any heat on my hair.
Yep, you are right.
Long layered here. 🙋♀️
Justin you're the best!! I love long layer cuts. I'm pretty sure your wife would look good in everything! You are a beautiful couple :-)
You’re way too kind! I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Hey hey Buddy! Great video, AGAIN!
Gosh Dionna is just so pretty! I love the long layered look on her. Overall, on me, I like medium length layered with bangs but i am not 40 yet 😍! However, I will let you decide on my hair mistakes that are aging me!
I see the van coming along... love how it's turning out. Can't wait for your journey to begin. Much love and light to both of you ❤️ (from your biggest fan from Charlotte NC ❤️)!
Hey! Thank you so much. I appreciate that of time as always! Question, did you end up sending in your submission? If you did I haven’t seen it I don’t think, can you reach out to me in a private message on Instagram so that I can exchange another email address for you maybe to ensure that I see the email.
Please show how to cut and maintain the layered bob especially! I really love your videos. I wish you were in my area because I would definitely have you style my hair! I do my own cutting now…but the more I learn the better the outcome.
Lovely video! Could you advise me if the two longer cuts us hairsprays or just curling iron? Thank you!!
Yes, please show how to style each of these cuts. I’m particularly interested in a very short pixie. Dawn
I love your videos! Always educational, personable, and fun! Yes to more videos about how to style these hairstyles!
p.s. -- remind us where to find you and your wife's travel videos.
Love watching your videos. I’m 61 and have had the Bob type of hair cut for a few years now. I just wish I knew other ways to style it. I try often to curl it but it won’t hold a curl and just looks messy minutes after I curl it.
I'm loving the short hairstyles right now.
I started out with a ‘long’ pixie cut early in 2020 which grew into an unkempt bob because I got tired of getting lopsided cuts during the times masks were required and which has now become long(ish) hair while I decide what I want to do next. I really like the option of pulling my hair into a messy bun for yoga but then because I’m a bit lazy (🤭) about styling, I usually end up having grandma bun hair the rest of the day. My hair is a really nice grey / silver colour and I had been thinking of letting get quite long but was not liking the lack of volume that was making me look a little too much like grandma Clampett. I think the ideal solution may be the long layered cut.
Love them all but lean personally to the first, wanting more volume around the temples like the third. That view doesn't suck -- beautiful home! love our hikes, too!
Love the layered bob! Of course, your wife is so pretty she would look good in any hairstyle!
Loved the short hair style as that seems to suit me better then longer styles I always enjoy you videos they are real I also enjoy your different presentations not to mention you have a real person personality. Cheers and happy adventures to you and your wife
I haven’t commented for a while, but just want to tell you how much I enjoy your content.
I’ve had a stacked, layered bob and I’ve had a pixie. Because I have a full, round face, I do much better with fullness in the top and crown. I also have a very wide forehead so I feel better with a bit of bang. To make matters worse (not enough already?) my hair is very fine so I have to use mousse and a light spray or the volume lasts about 4 seconds, and razor cuts make my hair more fly away-have to have a scissor cut.
I’d love to see a detailed video just on short pixie cuts with at least one model who has fine hair and struggles with volume. Thanks!!
By the way, your videos are far superior to all others. While I enjoy makeover videos, the detail you provide is beyond fabulous. My mother was a hairdresser for 40 years, so I was able to try lots of different products, but we were in a rut with my cut. Thank you so much for your “ways your hair ages you” series. ❤️
Thank you 😊 It would be nice to watch a tutorial of a wavy dine on short hair or on square cut 😊
I love playing with my hair. I am also currently and have been a hair model many, many years in lifespan. And evidently I have "perfect hair and oval faceshape" hair stylists love to experiment with. I find that keeping my hair "comfortable and simple" for me to take care of is what matters most as I age. The last cut I tried is a short pixie in the back, and short on the sides and long on top while I allowed my "natural color" to grow out. The next look I am going after is the long layered look.
. This video totally makes sense to me. When I had pretty much 'one length' long, curly coarse hair the hair around my scalp wasn't lofty enough and it weighed down my face creating that downward direction you spoke of and that 'triangle.' Cutting my hair just below my shoulders and layering it really brought out my eyes and face which were obscured by 'too much hair' that I used to have. . Now that my hair is layered with some hair that is 'bang level a little on the sides like the #1 example. I really do feel lighter, more content with my hair reflecting more who I am...a fluid, free, light-hearted 64 yr old with some 'swish!'' Since my hair is curly the hair that is cut shorter as 'bangs' always 'goes crazy' on me when I try to put it on my forehead (Is like a spiral noodle with a life of it's own and doesn't look good) so I just push these 'bang' length 'curtains' back away from my face....The other two pics you showed also make sense to me. I had never thought of the 'bob' needing to 'angle in' a bit and be layered in older women but that also clearly looked way batter than the one length bob for older women. Well thought out observations and beautiful styling!
More in pixie styling for different hair types. Curly thick thin
Thanks for your advice and insight
I keep going back to a chin length bob when I don’t know what else to do. Otherwise the best look ever at my age is the short cut with layers. You nailed the look with the height above the cheekbones and the sides angled in. It is very youthful. May I also mention the look is chic and while VERY few women are brave enough to rock it, I get to look different than everyone else who is trying to keep their hair long like when they were in their 30’s. Add an unusual auburn red and, well, let’s just say I Look Good for 60 lol
I Adorethe Layered Bob with full bangs. Would Love more information on how to dry & communicate with stylist etc.Currently have the bob with full bangs, and back 2 inches shorter than front. (Fine, thin hair) Watched your video on blow drying bangs, this made a huge difference! Thank you for this wonderful channel.
Love your videos! I have a long shag/ wolf cut with bangs which takes a lot of weight off, & is much cooler. I like shags in all lengths 😁
Shags can definitely be awesome! I love that you found a shape that you love!
Me too!!!🙌🐺
Love this…I’m struggling to get a style that really suits me. Can you please do a video on combination hair please…part wavy,curly & straight. 😩
Thanks for this video. if you can share dos and don'ts on Styling a layered bob for wavey to curly hair be hugely helpful. 45 and a new style for me so trying to get it right. Thanks
I love your wife's hair length and style.
I have long hair (right at bra strap length) at 61 and can't see changing it anytime soon. It just makes me feel more feminine - but that's just me. I feel all these styles look great if you are happy and comfortable in them.
Justin Hickox I would love to see videos on how to style these cuts. I usually get a haircut and then do not know how to style the cut. Thanks for such an informative channel.
I love those pixie bobs, thingy. lol. I've worn it for years. Now I'm really in the layered bob. I'll go back to the pixie bob when I'm tired of curling my layered bob.
Loved this video but love all your videos. 🤣 I appreciate so much your knowledge of hair and hair styles. Would love to see you demonstrate all three of these styles. Your wife is beautiful. I’m 72 but If I were 30-40 years younger that’s how I’d wear my hair. Hair is too thin now and too old for longer hair. Oh well keep making these great videos and have a blessed day.
Have the last haircut love it
Helpful video. I love pixie style but not sure it loves me. My hair is very thick with wave, curl and frizz esp in the summer that it ends up looking like a muffin top. But in the less humid months, i love the pixie on me. I go from long layers (mid back) to pixie every couple of years. Thoughts? Plus finding a stylist who really knows how to handle my type of hair consistently has been a big challenge. Do you. Have a twin in Charlotte NC that I can go to for haircuts? Ha!
Love the layered bob, always my favorite!!!…much love and appreciation!…great video!!!!…say hi to Dionna from me!💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much Linda! I’ll definitely tell Dionna I said hi!
I like the layered Bob look. I have recently grown out a kind of Bob that has a high back in that tapered up way and the sides and front are longer. I didn't like how the front sat when it all swayed into my face as it's naturally straight at the front before my ears and then naturally curly when it's short or wavy if longer than my chin level. My issue whilst growing out that style to a length that sits on my shoulders with a lot less layers is that I don't know how to style it. I currently use a slim head band and put some curl cream type product through it (Evo liquid rollers) but I'm finding it isn't working now the length is longer so I'm looking for tips on how to style the front for a relaxed wavy look that doesn't sit in my face but frames it. I don't have bangs but eye level slight layers around an almost center parting. Any tips are appreciated. My hair is fine but I have a lot of it but it gets limp easily from heavy products. I struggle on how to style it for every day and something easy for date nights. Any help appreciated.
I like the pixie haircut🤩🤩. , Thank you so much for your interesting videos, best wishes margreet
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I’m so glad you like them.
Love you, Justin! I would like to get a bob cut. The thing that concerns me most about it is the movies and TV. Every time the makeup artist wants to age a woman to show her at a later time in her life, they give her a bob haircut. It works! Example: This Is Us! She looks sooooo much older with a bob! Maybe it's just how they style it, but I don't want to bother with that all the time either.
I tend to wear my hair shorter as it is fine with no natural body. I have found that many stylists when you tell them short tend to take it way too short. At that point I feel scalped and have a terrible time styling it. Would love to take it longer but then the weight pulls it down and it becomes very unflattering. Oh, I am 72 years young and feel I have been fighting my hair all my life..lol
This is exactly my issue also. I have worn my hair short for years but very few beauticians know how to cut short hair. Either too short or not cut in the right places. Such a dilemma. Would love it if someone could tell me what I need to say to my beautician. They seem to always cut it the way they want. Thanks
I’ve had my hair short for 35 years and only go to one hairdresser who was trained to cut short hair and gets it. My friends and family think I’m being too picky but what you describe is exactly why I don’t change.. I hope you’ll find your hairdresser nirvana.
I relate! I just turned 40 this year and have always worn my hair waist length. I want to change it up a bit but every time I have a stylist cut it shorter than usual, I hate it and wish I hadn’t done it. I always think that it makes me look older and I’m definitely not wanting that right now. I just need a change and I have no idea what I need to do 😔
My sister has really long hair and she is 70 years old and the heavy hair makes her look like "Cousin It"! Lol
I too had long dyed black hair and cut it completely off to a pixie! It really made my eyes stand out! I then did the bob and went blonde trying the Marilyn Monroe look, but now I have a short layered cut and my hair is naturally wavy. I think the problem is women are afraid of changing their hair styles like my sister but going short can be so liberating!!
I’d be interested in how to style and cut the pixie short hair style you talked about.
I've had variations on the pixie cut a number of times but I've found that I'm just a too lazy to maintain it. It looks good and when it's up to date is easy to style. I had the layered bob for about 30 seconds and found that it just wasn't me. I've never had a long layered cut like the picture you showed but I have had a layered cut that was from mid-length to long. It was a shag cut. More layers all over, shorter in the crown and on top, with and/or without bangs. I recently changed stylists and so am breaking in a new one - she's young and wasn't even around for the origin of the shag - lol. I like the versatility the shag gives - you can ether go sleek or big and voluminous.
I am 50 yrs young, my hair is cut in a should length shag (growing out a pixie), my hair is straight and is dark purple.
I had a bob for years and love it, but I got tired of the incessant combat with my wave and curl. I now am wearing it short, with a little length to the side and love the ease of care. I wear the weight on the top to elongate my round/square face. In time, I'll go back to the bob, but for now, this is easy and sassy.
Love you❣️😘
I have fine thinning hair. Have always had a Bob cut in different versions. About 10 yrs ago I had a pixie cut which I loved. I’m 59. The thinning is really noticeable and upsetting. Right now my length is above my shoulders just below chin . I’m thinking about a bixie cut. Can you do a video about bixie cuts for older gals with very fine thinning hair? Love your videos. Wish I could have you cut/style my hair… I’m in NY.
I was literally just looking at layered bob pics to save and show my hairdresser . Im 42, have long hair which I've only had twice, I have never learnt how to style or care for my hair. I'm on a mission to learn now. My hair is actually naturally wavy but the heavy length and thickness of my hair pulls it straight-ish, and as it is the ends are dry, frizzy and bushy. I want to start caring for my hair, learning how to style it, encourage my natural waves but also be able to be versatile with it. I'm thinking it may be best to lose some unhealthy previously bleached length, for hair health and style learning ease.. Any advice on that? Is it easier to learn to style, use products, tools etc and care for shorter and healthier hair? You're awesome ❤ 👍 just found your vids, binge watching them all 👀
