I love this. When I was 39, about to turn 40, I had a stylist tell me “there comes a time when long hair just looks silly on a woman”. I’m 56 now and still loving my long hair (although it’s not as long as it was then).
I love my long hair! I have received that negative attitude ["How long is your hair... don't you think you should cut it?"], even when I was 41! I am now 47 and still have it layered and long (shoulder-blade length). I love long hair on women, it is so feminine. I am not ready (I doubt I ever will be) for short, blue-rinsed hairdos and geriatric rollers (ugh). When I was very young, my mother always had my hair cut short, and being curly it would coil up and I was often mistaken for a little boy. I never felt pretty or girlish in my looks. As a result, I am fiercely protective of being able to keep the long hair that, after all, I grow! It's mine (where do people even get off from telling others what to do with their lives, let alone their hair?) I think those who say these things are either projecting their own prejudices/expected stereotypes regarding aging women onto us OR they are just old-fashioned bores. Either way, more power to those of us who ignore them. We should be entitled to own hairstyles that we can still feel feminine, glamorous, and attractive with! :)
@@mariabenetti8902 well said, Maria! I’m all about people doing what makes them feel best about themselves. I have nothing against short hair. I’ve seen it worn beautifully on other women. It’s just not for me. At least, not right now. Same goes for gray. I follow a lady on instagram that went gray early (I think she’s close to 60 now). She has very long gray hair and she’s an absolute knockout. I would let myself go gray if it would all come in at once but I’m only getting a few here and there. My parents didn’t truly go gray til they were 80 so 🤷♀️
I love how you address aging it’s wonderful. As a 51 yr old woman it’s refreshing to hear someone who talks about aging in such a positive way. Thank you for that Gabi, I love that and appreciate that about you!💕
I'm 60 and it's exactly what you said Gabi....with menopause and just aging naturally my hair became thin and stringy, so by watching you I found "my" perfect hair style and it makes it look so much more fuller. I definitely need to get the Adore purple shampoo. A great haircut is extremely powerful. I remember watching you cutting one of your models' hair and taking the video to my stylist and got that exact cut. I love it. Thanks, Gabi.❤
@@julielepage1315 See, it’s just as Gabi says to find a haircut that makes you feel good about yourself and works for your lifestyle. Long or short sounds like you’ve done just that.
Please try supplements! At 67 I can't do without Neocell with hyaluronic acid. It helped my eyebrows, nails and hair. The amount of hair I was losing was alarming! Now, in the shower, there's little hair and in the brush. Huge turn around! Also, I get all the vitamins I can from my Dr (save out of pocket), and that supplement! Please, try it 🥰
i had my hair short once and looked like a boy. i’m 61 now and it’s the longest it’s ever been, no way am i going short. longer is easy imo. the layers are key ❤your technique thank you
I love it! I’m 67 and I still wear longer styles. As long as you work with what you have wear it styled, I believe anyone can wear any length they want. ❤️
Thank you so much for saying that women who are older can wear their hair longer. I’ve played with short hair and long hair. Long-haired tends to make me look older. My husband loves my hair longer. I love it. I can put it up keep it down it doesn’t matter.
Absolutely love these 2 videos with Monica's makeover. It shows how talented and passionate you are for your craft. It is also refreshing to see how a woman can look hot in her wiser years, without looking like a caricature of herself full of injectables and artificial methods to hide the signs of a life lived. There is beauty in many forms, a lot of it has to do with how a woman feels, carries herself and takes care of her body using just the right products. You are empowering women with this message and I am grateful for that.
I’m back again. Three of your videos in a row so far tonight (this morning). I am 66 years old. I used to be beautiful, but I’ve aged and lost my looks. In the last 11 years I’ve aged on steroids. My ❤husband died suddenly in 2012, my ❤29 year old daughter took her own life last year, and my dear ❤️ dog Coke (or Bubby) went to heaven last week. They’re all together now, but I just miss my them so much. We once were 5, but now it’s just my ❤️son Christian and me now. Life has a way of hitting hard for some. It shows on me. I also lost a lot of weight when Rina, my daughter died, and that, too, has taken its toll on my face. Thank you for saying there’s no shame in aging, because our society does not embrace that philosophy. And thank you for saying”if you’re lucky to live that long”. You really are helping me and so many other women. You, like Monica, are beautiful inside and it shows on the outside. I’m glad I found your channel,Gabi. I foresee a positive change will come to me the more I watch your channel. I cannot thank you enough. Blessings ❤️and love❤️, carrie.
You went through a lot, more than most people will ever go through. I went through similar this year. I'll be 57 in a month and have long dark brown hair. ❤ Stay strong!
My condolences on your loss, it looks like everything happened soon. I hope you and your son get to spend a lot of time together and that God gives you strength and comfort. ❤ blessings.
Your client is beautiful and is blessed with full, thick hair. Unfortunately, I have fine, thin hair with very little body. And to top it off, I’m losing a lot of hair because of Hashimoto’s Disease ☹️☹️ I can no longer wear bangs, which I feel I need with my long face, because my hair is just too thin and doesn’t really grow at my temples. I would love to see a video on hairstyles for women like me. Thanks for showcasing older women!
@@kld75 Mine went wavy during perimenopause, but I have always had thin, fine, stringy hair and have Hashimoto's and the hair fall is scary some days!! I inherited the gene for male pattern baldness, as well. I feel like there is less hair on the top than sides. Good luck with your thyroid and hair journey!

I completely agree that the hairstyle rather than make-up can contour your face. My last hairstylist understood I wanted length in the back but would not layer around my face. My face is already long, and without layers it looked terrible. Monica has incredibly beautiful, thick hair. I'm so envious! ❤
Thank you for providing these helpful videos, and for shattering the stereotypes! I’m so tired of them all! This lady is gorgeous, long hair, short hair, no hair! ❤
I'm 63 and my hair is down to the bottom of my back. I take very good care of it. I regularly oil it, never use a brush, sleep in a silk bonnet, consume various beneficial supplements and only wash it about twice a month. My hair is neither dry nor wirey. It is full, soft and bouncy. Women can take care of their hair and enjoy it well into old age. ♥️
What type of shampoo and conditioner do u use and what hair texture do u have? Do u wear it down a lot or in an updo? Thanks as I am age 50 and desire to have long healthy hair. Any tips appreciated... Thanks as long hair is quite tricky to manage!
I am 59 years old and went to a salon where he cut my hair off and gave me a bob. Told me it was much more age appropriate for me. It was terrible. I have been growing it out for 10 months and starting to feel confident again.
Yes why are women told they have to automatically give up their femininity just because of an arbitrarily chosen number? Bless you for sharing this much needed information on caring for older hair
Thank you Gabi, for your extraordinarily tactful way of talking to us older ones. I, for one, really appreciate your advice & that you include us. Older women (& men) used to be invisible. I still feel 7, 15, 35 etc depending on the day (I'm 61) but I know most don't, so on our behalf I thank you. Please carry on, your posts are invaluable, fun, funny & kind. Good work lady. Happiness to you. - Fiona, from Britain.
Love it! A "bajillion". At 60 years young I want my long hair. A great cut will help immensely. I'm currently in the battle of coloring vs going natural silver. I don't like how I look with my grow out. I tried. But I look haggered. To do it naturally would take years to grow out. 💇♀️
I am 57. Fine dry hair. Rosemary oil 5 drops per day on the roots and Schwarzkopf leave on oils on the tips and the middle. Took two years. Finally youthful looking hair. Colouring doesn't kill them any longer as long as I dont use bleaching powder. My hair are shoulder length.. trying to grow mid back length at the age of 57. Unreal!
I can assure you this haircut looks beautiful in person even after Monica left the salon! Thank you again Gabi for making my beautiful friend smile with your magic❤ Ps where is this white dress from? I love it!
Thanks so much Elle. I am so happy to hear that she is enjoying the haircut. She has such a gorgeous head of full hair. This white dress is SUPER OLD (more then ten years old) and I got it at Sirens actually.
I stoped going to the salon 💇♀️ after 35. Because that’s all I ever heard!!! That long hair is not appropriate! I cut my own hair. I’m 50, now. I think my long hair suits me & my personality. I have it all at one length. I really want this style! ❤ Thank you! I wish I would get my haircut with you! lol
I love her H/C, Gabi! I'm a 56 yr old with thinning gray long hair. I definitely need some oomph, but hesitate to layer because it's so thin. Thoughts?
I use a blue based shampoo twice a week .... It is fantastic for my silver white hair. I recommend that people don't do it more than that because the blue stays!! My hair is half way down my back and I have been taking it up for the last couple of years but I took this to the hairdresser yesterday and asked for layers. I went shopping afterwards and honestly, much to my surprise, I received two compliments from complete strangers! Got home and my Hubs went crazy over it! Thank you so much for this piece!
You can buy a blue or violet additive to put in whatever shampoo or conditioner you like. I got it because I use sulfate free shampoo. I am not silver yet but m,y brown can get brassy.
Amazing glow-up - wonderful job! Monica is fortunate to have a thick head of hair that most women her age don't have. Would love to see more videos of what you'd do with the typical unfortunate thin/fine/blah head of hair most women this age end up with...it's far more challenging to work with and we could use more ideas.
It's gorgeous and so is she. This is the cut I'm working toward as I go natural gray. I just went short to try and get rid of most of my dyed color. Now to grow it back out.
A relatively new client sent me this video so we could fine-tune exactly what she has in mind for her next salon visit. She has thick, healthy straight, long hair which will suit this style beautifully. I'm a hair stylist that comes from a different Continent which is in the Southern Hemisphere so we're worlds apart. Despite the fact I've been doing hair for decades I still love what I do. Everything u discussed here, your recommendation, your cutting technique & styling, mirrors how I go about working on clients. The end result looked absolutely fabulous & I hope that with your straightforward instructions I can obtain a similar outcome. Thank u.
How did the cut turn out? Was your client happy with it? Just curious as I'm about to schedule a long-needed haircut and might request the style featured in this video or something similar.
I love watching positive content like this. Thank you for sharing this. Your model is beautiful, and when you "work your magic," she becomes even more 😍 pretty and youthful. She looks so young... stunning. And your work is..chef's kiss❤
Wish I could have you do my hair, Gabi. The people I have gone to just aren’t talented like you are. As a result, I chop at my own because there’s nothing worse than spending a fortune and walking out of a salon unhappy. Appreciate your attention to detail and artistic talent.
Love the cut you gave Monica. She’s a beautiful woman as it is and you took her next level. I had a few inches taken off my length because I couldn’t get the layering like you just did. My cut would end up looking disconnected; most of the hair to my shoulders then a ratty tail going down beneath my shoulders. After 2-3 times getting the same result with 2-3 different stylists, I gave up and went with an angled lob. So I have saved your video and hope I can get that beautiful cut next time.
Hi, Gabi! Thank you so very much for this video that just appeared in my feed (by no coincidence, I might add)- absolutely beautiful. I have been a licensed hairstylist since '93 and l was SO thrilled to hear you using terms that I learned with; I cannot give you enough props for that & my utmost respect- I don't feel so ancient now lol.. Question - for the 1st time in my life I've let my hair grow long (it's just at my waist) & it is naturally wavy (like beach wavy), do you feel this cut would work on very wavy hair? Your reply would be greatly appreciated as I have a chronic health issue & I've been in a yucky phase for a while, especially about how I look. Sorry for TMI, but info helps, as you well know.. be blessed, beautiful lady & keep sharing that gift with others..you can change somebody's entire outlook on life ❤️💯. Be blessed!
I love how she said, " If you're lucky enough to live a long time." She must speak from the experience of losing someone. She's right. We can't assume we will love to an old age. Great video and informative also.
Thanks for watching everyone! If you have ay questions, feel free to leave them here in the comments! 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 want to watch Monica's detailed makeup tutorial, you can find it right here: th-cam.com/video/8pqDpOOHXPY/w-d-xo.html
Love it~ thanks, Gabi! How do I explain this to my hairdresser? Long, layered cut with face-framing bangs? Anything more specific? I never know what to ask for. (PS, I've gone shorter because, although I want to look stylish, I don't want to spend SO MUCH time on my hair. A great cut helps tremendously.)
HOLY CANARY what an AMAZING DIFFERENCE this haircut made for her!! Gabi, you demonstrated so beautifully that a haircut needn’t be DRASTIC to be TRANSFORMATIONAL! Certainly you enhanced her already lovely features with a great makeup look, but it’s the haircut that not only took years off but CLEARLY made her FEEL more Beautiful and Current without making her look like she’s TRYING to be anyone but her beautiful Self!! That’s such a GIFT Gabi to be able to do that for others! Awesome job! ❤️🥰
I just got a terribly botched layered cut, and the cut you showed is what I wanted. Is this fixable? Or do I need to wait for it to grow out and start over?
Hi Jen, Having had your experience MORE than once I know your Anxiety! One thing I learned the hard way is if you can swing it money wise NOT to go back to the same place to have it “fixed” but go to the very Best salon in your area and ask for the Stylist most skilled with layered cuts and tell them why. Even if you can’t always go back to the “master” stylist a good stylist will be able to follow the lines of your new cut in future. Best of luck 🌹
@@fletch2117 Hey!! Yes I would explain it as a long layered haircut with face framing layers starting at the chin. The key with explaining things to a hairstylist is to show them pictures. Stylists tends to be extremely visual people and they are going to do a better job at executing your vision if they visualize exactly what it is that you want.
I LOVE the way you explain things. I had longer hair before my 20s, then cut it short and kept it short. I am now 71, never dyed my hair, and I like it. It is salt and pepper, and make sure I add some Argan Oil to my roots and hair to make it less dry. So far, it has been working for me, and I get a lot of compliments about my hair. I have no problem with my hair getting whiter, than it is now. Hopefully, the skin of my face will look youthful as well as I am rarely in the sun. Keep up the great work and advice. I appreciate you!!
I cycle through long and short hairstyles about every 7 years. My hair was very long, I was seriously overweight, and I was feeling very dragged down (even though my hair looked really good). I am now about 5 lbs away from my target/goal weight, and I am going shorter and shorter with my hairstyle. My hair grows very quickly, and I find it liberating to make drastic changes from time to time. (I went from lob to bob, now a bixie and maybe going shorter before I decide to grow it out again.) p.s. I love using purple shampoo as my silver strand... just wish they would come in more prominently.
Thank you Gabi, I very much enjoyed your video🥰 I'm of the same opinion regarding long hair. It usually is not flattering on women when they get into the older years since the face, (as a result of volume loss), looks worn and drawn when the hair is too long. There are enough flattering hair styles that aren't too short that look absolutely wonderful on so many older women. I'm convinced that the right hairstyle can make all the difference in the world.
She looks 20 years (or more?) younger! She’s a beautiful woman to start with and that hair! Thick and gorgeous. Great subject to demonstrate that cut on. Unfortunately, most of us are not so lucky
Gorgeous!!! This is what I imagine when I ask for face framing layers but just get very little layers and flat long hair… Now I can show the video!!!Thank you!!!🤗
Yes, and really thin, fine hair. I mean wispy and so thin that her ponytail would not be even as thick as a magic marker. What you've done with this woman's hair and skin is gorgeous, but she has a lot more hair than most older women.
I just got a terribly botched layered cut, and the cut you showed is what I wanted. Is this fixable? Or do I need to wait for it to grow out and start over?
Just beautiful Gabi. Monica looks fantastic. If you ever plan to visit Scotland I’d love to have a consultation and makeover with you (I’ll start saving now!) You’re the absolute queen of styling for us 60ish and over gals ❤️🏴
LOVE this video! Thank you for not shaming us as we age. It IS something to be proud of and this model shows how GORGEOUS one can look at ANY age! Also, please encourage women (again! as you have done so in the past) to take vitamins - including 5k units of Vit D and to take Biotin! Makes a BIG difference in growing more hair. Again, thank you for making this video! YOU are making SO many of us feel enabled and MORE powerful! 🥰
I love the haircut on her and it's close to what I've been considering for myself, which is what I had 10-12 years ago. My maternal grandmother (I'm adopted, she had fine, straight Scandinavian hair) b.1911, had long hair since the 1960s until her death in 2008. She always wore her hair up in what I'll describe as a modern modified "Gibson girl" style, that suited her features and kept her from looking severe. My 86 y.o. MIL decided to grow out her hair in her 60s. She has naturally curly hair and it softens her features, but she always wear it up anyway. I'm from 1976, I'll be 47 y.o. before this year is out. My hair has grown to just below my shoulders and I want it just long enough to get some "shape" cut into it, but still keep it long enough to pull up. I look better with my hair up, than I did in my youth. My hair is thinning, I'm finding that my white hairs are actually softer and finer than my hair that still has color, BUT my colored hair (not dyed, just not white) is growing coarser, my hair is thinning out overall.
Looks beautiful! Thanks so much for making this video! 💕 And now how would you style this? Lol i need a tutorial on that, please. I know you did one with your shorter hair but i feel I can't wrap my long hair the same way around the hot air brush bc only the ends get heated up, missing my roots and mids.
She looks lovely! I'm in my mid-fifties now and after a decade of sporting a short-ish bob I'm letting it grow out. I'm half white (basically everything from the back of my ears forward) and half my natural red at the back. I'm also a curly girl so getting my hair to look cohesive is a bit of a challenge, especially since I cut it myself! I've had too many nightmare haircuts from stylist who couldn't deal with my unpredictable curls. That said, you've given me some ideas on how to cut to blend the face-framing layers so thank you Gabi for that!
Finally, a hairstylist who knows about hair and how to do it right for older ladies. 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for this video. I can show older ladies with long hair. This way, they can have a more flattering hair style.
Monica is beautiful from the start, but after the hair makeover, omg, she’s a supermodel! Absolutely gorgeous & she looks so youthful! Fantastic job & perfect model for this cut!❤🩷🧡💜💕
Monica looks so so so beautiful and younger with the haircut and makeup. I am thrilled to find this channel showing women in their 50s 60s and 70s can still be fashionable and pretty.
Whenever someone gets a makeover on TV the thing that impacts the look the most is a flattering haircut. The clothes and makeup help but the haircut always takes years off the person
Hi Gabi - as always, I’m impressed! I’m 58 and I’m having a heck of a time with my hair, both cut and colour. Everything changes with age! I want to look current however I’m not sure if I’m hanging onto the length unnecessarily and I feel that my colour no longer goes with my skin tone. How does one get to see you (even if just for a consultation). I’m in Guelph.
Hey there- I'm in Burlington. Found an amazing gal here that did a cut like this for me. I am 48 with long thick fine and straight blond hair- uncolored- took years to find a good one! I recommend her highly!!! Hair Extacy on Appleby line. Ask only for Carolynn 😁 She actually listens and can do multiple types of styles and types of hair - my two daughters one super thick coarse wavy brunette also long, and the other incredibly thick straight and fine (now short )brunette - Amazing on all of us! 😍 Good luck from Glenna, Joyce and Alyssa
Love this! I wish you showed how you styled. I know you used velcro rollers but how? Also would love to see this cut with a blowout no rollers. My haircut is similar but not as many layers. I have fine hair. Do you think more layers for fine hair?
I am 56 and I rocking my long hair and I style it all the time. I am not ready to chop my hair short...maybe I'll never will LOL. Jane Seymour is 72 years and still wears her hair long. "A woman's hair is her crowning glory."
Just turned 61 and always get compliments on my longer hair - even from younger ladies!!!!
My motto… if you like it and it looks good, wear it!
Totaly agree! :)
Absolutely!

That is SO FALSE. I literally couldn't agree less with that stylist.
Was envy and jelouse because for sure you were looking pretty
Ditto. I cut my hair short(for other reasons) a few years ago. Now I'm 56 with long hair and love it. My old lady hairstyle plan is long hippie braid!
I love my long hair! I have received that negative attitude ["How long is your hair... don't you think you should cut it?"], even when I was 41! I am now 47 and still have it layered and long (shoulder-blade length).

I am almost 70 , my hair is mostly white and very long to my waist and curly … I love it , looks great with hats …
I completely agree that the hairstyle rather than make-up can contour your face. My last hairstylist understood I wanted length in the back but would not layer around my face. My face is already long, and without layers it looked terrible. Monica has incredibly beautiful, thick hair. I'm so envious! ❤
Thank you for providing these helpful videos, and for shattering the stereotypes! I’m so tired of them all! This lady is gorgeous, long hair, short hair, no hair! ❤
I'm 63 and my hair is down to the bottom of my back. I take very good care of it. I regularly oil it, never use a brush, sleep in a silk bonnet, consume various beneficial supplements and only wash it about twice a month. My hair is neither dry nor wirey. It is full, soft and bouncy. Women can take care of their hair and enjoy it well into old age. ♥️
Amazing
What beneficial supplements do you ise
What type of shampoo and conditioner do u use and what hair texture do u have? Do u wear it down a lot or in an updo? Thanks as I am age 50 and desire to have long healthy hair. Any tips appreciated... Thanks as long hair is quite tricky to manage!
Twice a month?? 🥴
Same here re washing.... once or twice a month.
I am 59 years old and went to a salon where he cut my hair off and gave me a bob. Told me it was much more age appropriate for me. It was terrible. I have been growing it out for 10 months and starting to feel confident again.
Glad you are back 😊!
Yes why are women told they have to automatically give up their femininity just because of an arbitrarily chosen number? Bless you for sharing this much needed information on caring for older hair
Monica looks stunning! Thank you for showing how the layers are cut and also showing how they enhance her beauty. ❤
Thank you Gabi, for your extraordinarily tactful way of talking to us older ones. I, for one, really appreciate your advice & that you include us. Older women (& men) used to be invisible. I still feel 7, 15, 35 etc depending on the day (I'm 61) but I know most don't, so on our behalf I thank you. Please carry on, your posts are invaluable, fun, funny & kind. Good work lady. Happiness to you. - Fiona, from Britain.
I am 75 and I have this hair cut and it really helps contour my face.
Love it! A "bajillion".
At 60 years young I want my long hair. A great cut will help immensely. I'm currently in the battle of coloring vs going natural silver. I don't like how I look with my grow out. I tried. But I look haggered. To do it naturally would take years to grow out. 💇♀️
I am 57. Fine dry hair. Rosemary oil 5 drops per day on the roots and Schwarzkopf leave on oils on the tips and the middle. Took two years. Finally youthful looking hair. Colouring doesn't kill them any longer as long as I dont use bleaching powder. My hair are shoulder length.. trying to grow mid back length at the age of 57. Unreal!
God bless you 🙏
I can assure you this haircut looks beautiful in person even after Monica left the salon! Thank you again Gabi for making my beautiful friend smile with your magic❤
Ps where is this white dress from? I love it!
Thanks so much Elle. I am so happy to hear that she is enjoying the haircut. She has such a gorgeous head of full hair. This white dress is SUPER OLD (more then ten years old) and I got it at Sirens actually.
@@GlamGirlGabiHi, where are you located?
@@lisagarrett6966 I am in Ontario Canada
Hello is my first time watching your 📷 but I enjoy it so much and haircut is glamorous
She is beautiful! I absolutely love her haircut and makeup!
I stoped going to the salon 💇♀️ after 35. Because that’s all I ever heard!!! That long hair is not appropriate! I cut my own hair. I’m 50, now. I think my long hair suits me & my personality. I have it all at one length. I really want this style! ❤ Thank you! I wish I would get my haircut with you! lol
I love her H/C, Gabi! I'm a 56 yr old with thinning gray long hair. I definitely need some oomph, but hesitate to layer because it's so thin. Thoughts?
I use a blue based shampoo twice a week .... It is fantastic for my silver white hair. I recommend that people don't do it more than that because the blue stays!! My hair is half way down my back and I have been taking it up for the last couple of years but I took this to the hairdresser yesterday and asked for layers. I went shopping afterwards and honestly, much to my surprise, I received two compliments from complete strangers! Got home and my Hubs went crazy over it! Thank you so much for this piece!
You can buy a blue or violet additive to put in whatever shampoo or conditioner you like. I got it because I use sulfate free shampoo. I am not silver yet but m,y brown can get brassy.
Monica looks absolutely stunning love the way you've done her hair and makeup, 2 of my favourite videos so far. Thank you Gabi 🥰 🌟
I’m an Independent Latino. Thanks how many Hispanic cut the hair. Layers and layers like 70’s or 90’s hairstyles. Classic forever.❤❤
Amazing glow-up - wonderful job! Monica is fortunate to have a thick head of hair that most women her age don't have. Would love to see more videos of what you'd do with the typical unfortunate thin/fine/blah head of hair most women this age end up with...it's far more challenging to work with and we could use more ideas.
Exactly. Help us thin fine hair ladies.
Yes please
❤ she's so pretty I like it
I did it Gabi, I cut my hair after watching this one and the one before. I love it! Thank you so much xx
Wonderful! I am so happy that it turned out great for you!!! It's always so amazing to rock a new hairstyle. It feels so refreshing!
Love the end results. The transformation is so beautiful.
Maybe we could get a youthful cut for the older curly haired ladies?
It's gorgeous and so is she. This is the cut I'm working toward as I go natural gray. I just went short to try and get rid of most of my dyed color. Now to grow it back out.
Yes that is a great goal! You can get rid of all of the old color and then let it grow out thick and healthy from there.
What is the cut called if i wanted to get it ? Ty great video!👍
It's a long layered haircut with face framing layers@@redtillimdeadsmithsmith4437
Finally someone saying older ladies don’t have to have short hair ❤
She lost 20 years off of her face . New natural makeup! Very lovely!!! I'm 73 & need all the help I can get. Thank You! You are wonderful!!!
Very intelligent explanation for cutting this really super long layered hair. The client looked wonderful with her beautiful natural hair. Lovely 💐
A relatively new client sent me this video so we could fine-tune exactly what she has in mind for her next salon visit.
She has thick, healthy straight, long hair which will suit this style beautifully.
I'm a hair stylist that comes from a different Continent which is in the Southern Hemisphere so we're worlds apart.
Despite the fact I've been doing hair for decades I still love what I do.
Everything u discussed here, your recommendation, your cutting technique & styling, mirrors how I go about working on clients.
The end result looked absolutely fabulous & I hope that with your straightforward instructions I can obtain a similar outcome.
Thank u.
How did the cut turn out? Was your client happy with it? Just curious as I'm about to schedule a long-needed haircut and might request the style featured in this video or something similar.
@@leslie6938 She was thrilled. Definitely let your stylist have a look it saves you having to try explain and outlines how the result is acheived. 💯
@@NikiBechusWTF Cool!
I love watching positive content like this. Thank you for sharing this. Your model is beautiful, and when you "work your magic," she becomes even more 😍 pretty and youthful. She looks so young... stunning. And your work is..chef's kiss❤
gorgeous! thanks for dispelling the myth of "you must go short" as you age💖
You're so welcome! I think it's important to choose a look that makes you feel good.
Love the hair cut and the face framing it creates!! That is a great style.
Wish I could have you do my hair, Gabi. The people I have gone to just aren’t talented like you are. As a result, I chop at my own because there’s nothing worse than spending a fortune and walking out of a salon unhappy. Appreciate your attention to detail and artistic talent.
So why don’t you go have her do your hair if you want to so badly?
@@ritabartuska6326 If it were that easy of course I would go but I live in a different country 😒
@@starryluma1806 , bummer, at least as the haircut is concerned.
@@ritabartuska6326….🙄🙄🙄
@@starryluma1806…..I agree
Oh! Finally I can show my hairdressers what I want ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad it's helpful! Good luck with the haircut.
Love the cut you gave Monica. She’s a beautiful woman as it is and you took her next level. I had a few inches taken off my length because I couldn’t get the layering like you just did. My cut would end up looking disconnected; most of the hair to my shoulders then a ratty tail going down beneath my shoulders. After 2-3 times getting the same result with 2-3 different stylists, I gave up and went with an angled lob. So I have saved your video and hope I can get that beautiful cut next time.
The transformation is stunning!
wow she looks soooo much younger and vibrant.
STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING... would love to have seen the blow out after and what products you used. The volume is incredible. ❤❤
Could you please list the hair masks you recommended in this video. I did not see it in the description box. Thank you for all your videos.
Beautiful
Girl has super model vibes. So gorgeous! Way to go, Gabi!
Beautifully done. I am a retired educator and platform artist. SO glad to see you understand the mechanics of cutting and styling.
Hi, Gabi! Thank you so very much for this video that just appeared in my feed (by no coincidence, I might add)- absolutely beautiful. I have been a licensed hairstylist since '93 and l was SO thrilled to hear you using terms that I learned with; I cannot give you enough props for that & my utmost respect- I don't feel so ancient now lol.. Question - for the 1st time in my life I've let my hair grow long (it's just at my waist) & it is naturally wavy (like beach wavy), do you feel this cut would work on very wavy hair?
Your reply would be greatly appreciated as I have a chronic health issue & I've been in a yucky phase for a while, especially about how I look. Sorry for TMI, but info helps, as you well know.. be blessed, beautiful lady & keep sharing that gift with others..you can change somebody's entire outlook on life ❤️💯. Be blessed!
I love how she said, " If you're lucky enough to live a long time."
She must speak from the experience of losing someone. She's right. We can't assume we will love to an old age.
Great video and informative also.
Yup. You nailed it. Aging is a huge gift. It’s nothing to be ashamed of or hide. It’s the greatest gift that you can receive.
I will be 61 next week and my hair is awesome! I am not going to cut it. I adjust the style and live a healthy life to keep it wonderful!
Love this haircut so much. She looks so much younger too.

Love it~ thanks, Gabi! How do I explain this to my hairdresser? Long, layered cut with face-framing bangs? Anything more specific? I never know what to ask for. (PS, I've gone shorter because, although I want to look stylish, I don't want to spend SO MUCH time on my hair. A great cut helps tremendously.)
HOLY CANARY what an AMAZING DIFFERENCE this haircut made for her!! Gabi, you demonstrated so beautifully that a haircut needn’t be DRASTIC to be TRANSFORMATIONAL! Certainly you enhanced her already lovely features with a great makeup look, but it’s the haircut that not only took years off but CLEARLY made her FEEL more Beautiful and Current without making her look like she’s TRYING to be anyone but her beautiful Self!! That’s such a GIFT Gabi to be able to do that for others! Awesome job! ❤️🥰
I just got a terribly botched layered cut, and the cut you showed is what I wanted. Is this fixable? Or do I need to wait for it to grow out and start over?
Hi Jen, Having had your experience MORE than once I know your Anxiety! One thing I learned the hard way is if you can swing it money wise NOT to go back to the same place to have it “fixed” but go to the very Best salon in your area and ask for the Stylist most skilled with layered cuts and tell them why. Even if you can’t always go back to the “master” stylist a good stylist will be able to follow the lines of your new cut in future. Best of luck 🌹
@@fletch2117 Hey!! Yes I would explain it as a long layered haircut with face framing layers starting at the chin. The key with explaining things to a hairstylist is to show them pictures. Stylists tends to be extremely visual people and they are going to do a better job at executing your vision if they visualize exactly what it is that you want.
I LOVE the way you explain things. I had longer hair before my 20s, then cut it short and kept it short. I am now 71, never dyed my hair, and I like it. It is salt and pepper, and make sure I add some Argan Oil to my roots and hair to make it less dry. So far, it has been working for me, and I get a lot of compliments about my hair. I have no problem with my hair getting whiter, than it is now. Hopefully, the skin of my face will look youthful as well as I am rarely in the sun. Keep up the great work and advice. I appreciate you!!
This haircut is flattering indeed! I love the final results, Monica is so gorgeous. By the way, I love your makeup Gabi - you look stunning 💕.
Thank Oelfah! I am wearing a navy blue eyeliner in this video. I wanted to switch it up a little.
@@GlamGirlGabi Simply gorgeous Gabi!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this haircut and I am going to show it to my hairdresser next time I go to get my hair cut. Thank you!
I cycle through long and short hairstyles about every 7 years. My hair was very long, I was seriously overweight, and I was feeling very dragged down (even though my hair looked really good). I am now about 5 lbs away from my target/goal weight, and I am going shorter and shorter with my hairstyle. My hair grows very quickly, and I find it liberating to make drastic changes from time to time. (I went from lob to bob, now a bixie and maybe going shorter before I decide to grow it out again.) p.s. I love using purple shampoo as my silver strand... just wish they would come in more prominently.
Great job on your hard work! Have 30 lbs. to go, but it's going!!! Slowly, but surely for a 62 yr. old.
Kudos to you too! Take it slow and make it a lifestyle change. Mine journey has been a 3 year challenge. You got this!
Wow! She looks so beautiful and your cut makes all the difference to her hair and face shaping! Fabulous!
Looks beautiful! Loved the haircut and the makeup application.
Thanks Sonia! I’m really happy to hear that you liked it.
This is exactly the hair style that I have been looking for. Thank you for posting! ❤️💇🏼♀️
You're so welcome!
Thank you Gabi, I very much enjoyed your video🥰 I'm of the same opinion regarding long hair. It usually is not flattering on women when they get into the older years since the face, (as a result of volume loss), looks worn and drawn when the hair is too long. There are enough flattering hair styles that aren't too short that look absolutely wonderful on so many older women. I'm convinced that the right hairstyle can make all the difference in the world.
sooo pretty! I sent to my stylist :) any suggestions for a huge cowlick in the back, crown of my head? it's sooo difficult
She looks 20 years (or more?) younger! She’s a beautiful woman to start with and that hair! Thick and gorgeous. Great subject to demonstrate that cut on. Unfortunately, most of us are not so lucky
Great video- I figured out a long time ago that if I wanted to keep wearing my hair long, I’m 59, it would need to be layered-makes a huge difference.
Just GORGEOUS! Monica is a Stunner!!! Great job Gabi!
Gorgeous!!!
This is what I imagine when I ask for face framing layers but just get very little layers and flat long hair…
Now I can show the video!!!Thank you!!!🤗
Now do one with thin hair on a model over 60, please
Yes, and really thin, fine hair. I mean wispy and so thin that her ponytail would not be even as thick as a magic marker. What you've done with this woman's hair and skin is gorgeous, but she has a lot more hair than most older women.
Yes!!!!
I just got a terribly botched layered cut, and the cut you showed is what I wanted. Is this fixable? Or do I need to wait for it to grow out and start over?
Just beautiful Gabi. Monica looks fantastic. If you ever plan to visit Scotland I’d love to have a consultation and makeover with you (I’ll start saving now!) You’re the absolute queen of styling for us 60ish and over gals ❤️🏴
omg, ty so much. Ive had the same style for 20 yrs and this is exactly what I wanted cuz Im trying to age gracefully with my long hair lol again ty.
LOVE this video!
Thank you for not shaming us as we age. It IS something to be proud of and this model shows how GORGEOUS one can look at ANY age!
Also, please encourage women (again! as you have done so in the past) to take vitamins - including 5k units of Vit D and to take Biotin! Makes a BIG difference in growing more hair.
Again, thank you for making this video!
YOU are making SO many of us feel enabled and MORE powerful!
🥰
You are Amazing at what you Love to do ❣️💝❤️🔥 Thank you , for sharing ❣️💖🎉
Great video ❤ The haircut is amazing! So flattering 🎉
Thanks so much. I’m so glad that you liked it.
Love it! She looks amazing due to your talent and skill.
I love the haircut on her and it's close to what I've been considering for myself, which is what I had 10-12 years ago.
My maternal grandmother (I'm adopted, she had fine, straight Scandinavian hair) b.1911, had long hair since the 1960s until her death in 2008. She always wore her hair up in what I'll describe as a modern modified "Gibson girl" style, that suited her features and kept her from looking severe. My 86 y.o. MIL decided to grow out her hair in her 60s. She has naturally curly hair and it softens her features, but she always wear it up anyway.
I'm from 1976, I'll be 47 y.o. before this year is out. My hair has grown to just below my shoulders and I want it just long enough to get some "shape" cut into it, but still keep it long enough to pull up. I look better with my hair up, than I did in my youth.
My hair is thinning, I'm finding that my white hairs are actually softer and finer than my hair that still has color, BUT my colored hair (not dyed, just not white) is growing coarser, my hair is thinning out overall.
Beautiful hair cut and result, she is gorgeous !!
Looks beautiful! Thanks so much for making this video! 💕
And now how would you style this? Lol i need a tutorial on that, please. I know you did one with your shorter hair but i feel I can't wrap my long hair the same way around the hot air brush bc only the ends get heated up, missing my roots and mids.
Stunning! Love her hair and makeup!
She looks lovely!
I'm in my mid-fifties now and after a decade of sporting a short-ish bob I'm letting it grow out. I'm half white (basically everything from the back of my ears forward) and half my natural red at the back. I'm also a curly girl so getting my hair to look cohesive is a bit of a challenge, especially since I cut it myself! I've had too many nightmare haircuts from stylist who couldn't deal with my unpredictable curls.
That said, you've given me some ideas on how to cut to blend the face-framing layers so thank you Gabi for that!
You’re so welcome!! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me that the video was helpful for you.
Finally, a hairstylist who knows about hair and how to do it right for older ladies. 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for this video. I can show older ladies with long hair. This way, they can have a more flattering hair style.
Monica is beautiful from the start, but after the hair makeover, omg, she’s a supermodel! Absolutely gorgeous & she looks so youthful! Fantastic job & perfect model for this cut!❤🩷🧡💜💕
Monica looks so so so beautiful and younger with the haircut and makeup. I am thrilled to find this channel showing women in their 50s 60s and 70s can still be fashionable and pretty.
monica is a natural beauty. id be lucky to age like that.
love this and her hair is absolutely beautiful full and thick.
Long hair is fine on everybody as long as they're getting it trimmed a few times a year and using good products. That includes men.
Dangnabbit! Where was this video last week when I got my hair cut!! 😩🤦🏻♀️ I LOVE this whole look SO much!! 😍😍
It will grow💕. That’s what I’m going through too. Less cuts, money saved.
@@Donna-cc1kt My hair is long…but I only get it cut once or twice a year. 😉
I'd love to see how you blew it dry and/or used rollers to style the cut.
Whenever someone gets a makeover on TV the thing that impacts the look the most is a flattering haircut. The clothes and makeup help but the haircut always takes years off the person
Love the haircut & she looks gorgeous in her natural grey/silver color hair.
Hi Gabi - as always, I’m impressed! I’m 58 and I’m having a heck of a time with my hair, both cut and colour. Everything changes with age! I want to look current however I’m not sure if I’m hanging onto the length unnecessarily and I feel that my colour no longer goes with my skin tone. How does one get to see you (even if just for a consultation). I’m in Guelph.
I'd like to know as well. I'm so tired of hairstylists who just don't understand my hair!
@@tcgrady2000same!
Hey there- I'm in Burlington. Found an amazing gal here that did a cut like this for me. I am 48 with long thick fine and straight blond hair- uncolored- took years to find a good one! I recommend her highly!!! Hair Extacy on Appleby line. Ask only for Carolynn 😁 She actually listens and can do multiple types of styles and types of hair - my two daughters one super thick coarse wavy brunette also long, and the other incredibly thick straight and fine (now short )brunette - Amazing on all of us! 😍 Good luck from
Glenna, Joyce and Alyssa
Love this! I wish you showed how you styled. I know you used velcro rollers but how? Also would love to see this cut with a blowout no rollers. My haircut is similar but not as many layers. I have fine hair. Do you think more layers for fine hair?
I love my long red hair at 76. No wrinkles don’t look in my 70’s. I have a hair dresser that does beautiful work on my hair.
I love the way you speak about aging, and you are so great at what you do! Wish you were in my town!
I am 56 and I rocking my long hair and I style it all the time. I am not ready to chop my hair short...maybe I'll never will LOL. Jane Seymour is 72 years and still wears her hair long. "A woman's hair is her crowning glory."
Amen Sista...Im right there w/ you:)
She looks amazing. you go ,girl you are beautiful!
You did an amazing job. . she was stunnning before AND after :) Thanks for this video Gabi :)
