For me it’s going to depend on my confidence level. If I start questioning it I’ll adjust according to that. If I’m 80 and green hair makes me feel like I can take on the world, I think I’ll stick with it. 💪😂
Rooting forever, in my opinion. I'm 69 and I think it gives an illusion of youthfulness and definition. Maybe a more subtle rooting is best. It's bad enough that our skin fades out as we age. Don't need our hair to do the same.
Good topic to tackle! I’m 76, and I try not to think of age as a factor in wig styles, although, I’m not comfortable wearing very long wigs. I like them on others, but it’s very foreign to me since I never had long hair. Being that I came from an era where roots showing was not acceptable, it took me awhile before I purchased a rooted wig. I have to say once I tried one on, I really liked the dimension it gave to the wig as long as the rooting wasn’t too dark; or too drastic of a contrast. I have plenty of rooted wigs now. Going forward, I probably will look for blonde wigs with various highlights. It will just be a matter of finding the right combination of blonde shades. As far as silver and grey blends, I have found some pretty silver blends and I have one light brownish grey blended wig, but everyone prefers me in the blonde shades. BTW, the wig you’re wearing looks very nice on you.
@alp6244 Thank you 😊! I also have a hard time adjusting to longer wigs for the same reason. I think as long as we are comfortable and confident in the wigs we are wearing, it shouldn't matter . Thank you So much for watching 😌!
It's all up to the individual and their preference. An honest assessment in the mirror will definitely provide the answer. My hair is white, with the exception of a few dark ones. I LOVE it and wish I had gone natural years ago, I believe it wouldn't be so thin if I had. I've found a few economical white wigs that are fabulous!
Hi! I agree, I'm sure coloring my hair did not help my hair loss situation. I definitely think it will be a personal choice. I plan on hanging on to my rooting for as long as I can😉. Thanks for your feedback and thank you So much for watching!
I would say just don’t overthink it. Go with what you’re comfortable wearing. Personally, I prefer rooted wigs but I can wear unroofed ones too. I don’t let the “ never wear white after Labor Day” rules determine how I choose to live my life. That may sound a bit harsh but I have only one life to live. If I let others determine how I live it then they’ll have two lives & I’ll have none. And people who judge others are not adding any value to the lives of those they are judging❤🫶🤗
@NancyTaylor-mn6qi Well said Nancy 🙂! Wearing what you are comfortable in and Wearing it with confidence makes a big difference. Thank you So much for watching 😌!
@@alp6244 Hi! I have no idea when rooting started appearing in wigs. I don't believe it was a thing 40 years ago when my mom was getting Paula Young catalogs in the mail. I definitely think rooting is here to stay! Have a great day 😀!
My comment isn’t about rooting BUT, I have noticed that as I age, my brown wigs are starting to look a little “harsh” around the face. My natural color was dark brown, but my wigs now look kinda like “too much” if that makes sense. I have been thinking about getting a lighter brown with some grey mixed in????? Definitely hard to know what to do, so thanks for bringing this subject up. Like we don’t have enough to worry about in this post menopausal age group. 😕
@Grandmasterrett You're welcome 😊! I feel like our complexion gets lighter as we age. So, a lighter brunette color would soften your look. We definitely have more challenges as we age 😏. Thank you So much for watching 😌!
I don't like real dark rooting plus when I color my hair, there's no rooting except grey! Lol So, it looks all one color afer coloring & seems to me, most ppl's hair looks one color after coloring. I don't think most ppl can afford fancy die jobs these days. Can they?
Hi Misskitty! I agree, when I was coloring my hair, I preferred not to have rooting showing. But now that I'm wearing wigs, the rooting adds more realism to the wig. At the end of the day, it really is a matter of personal preference and what you feel comfortable in. I don't know how people can afford professional coloring, it's crazy how much it costs. Unfortunately, using credit cards for everyday expenses and hair coloring/getting nails done is becoming the norm. Thank you So much for watching!
I’m 64 and I’ll be a rooting wearer as long as I wear wigs.
Hi! Thanks for your feedback☺. I am definitely not ready to give up my rooting at this point or in the near future😉. Thank you So much for watching👀!

Hi Marni! Thanks for the feedback☺. I think it will end up being a personal preference and comfort level. Thank you So much for watching👀!

Hi Brenda…Do you know when rooted wigs came to be? Do you think it’s just a trend or here to stay?
