@justinhickox not gonna lie, when you moved to do the sponsored part of the video, I thought you were on the toilet and I gasped lol. I love how you are gentle with your criticisms and teach us so much at the same time. Love this series!

I love this series. A doctor wouldn't feel uncomfortable diagnosing a health issue. You shouldn't feel uneasy about offering your professional opinion on hair - especially when asked. You're always polite and have a great "chairside" manner. Wishing you and your wife a great vaca. It looks like a beautiful spot.

Amanda has some great hair. The first look of simply shortening and layering makes a world of difference for little effort.

Layering just thinned my hair out. I'm 67 with naturally wavy hair, and I've gone au naturel with long hippy hair. I love the way I look now.

I like the first ,medium length layered look on her much better than the shorter ones. I love learning from your videos. Thank you

Not the straight option: far too harsh. I didn’t feel the short cut did much for her either. Definitely preferred the small tweaks at the start of the video. She has lovely hair.

Because of Amanda's rectangular/angular face shape, I really like the curves of her original style, which soften the look. I think she looks amazing to start with!

Yup. I didn't like the changes. The short styles looked really good on the girls but the one showed on her didn't look that good. And I don't think the extra volume he did on top on the longer ones did her good either, it just made her look more masculine. So I like her before pictures best. She looked good already, didn't need any changes really.

I hate bobs full stop

LOVE LOVE LOVE the short chic choice!!!!! If I were her, however, I don't have the skill to recreate the short style!!! The other style looked better than the original, but really elongated her face with the strong lines.

I liked the slightly shorter, fuller version you offered first and the slight change in tone that takes out the yellowish shade. That I think is the most flattering to her face shape. As always, love your videos! Have a great vacation!

I love the shorter length with her same style and whitening the grey out. That is so subtle but makes a huge difference! Once again, you've totally nailed how small changes make a huge difference.

You are so darn kind to keep these posts rolling even when you are on vacation. Your insights and explanations are always so helpful. I like cut #2 on Amanda. It's sophisticated and pops her pretty cheeks and eyes.

I love your suggestions for the most part. The only thing that I’d say is that for the majority of us who let our natural color shine, we do it because of not wanting to spend a ton of time at a salon, spend money that is not necessary and to smash the stereotypes of aging. Literally to just “be ourselves.” Suggesting low-lights and toning puts us right back into the salon chair which is what we’re trying to avoid other than a beautiful cut. There are excellent shampoos and conditioners out there now for gray hair that can be used at home that address the issues you mentioned. Specifically one with a blue base (for brunettes). That accentuates the pepper, tones down the color that is left, and brightens the whites. I’m sure you know all this, but thought I’d share from a woman’s perspective in why many of us make this transition.

@justinhickox

I totally get where you’re coming from. And I absolutely agree with that mindset and understanding of why women tend to go gray. I have talked about this a lot and other videos and I love women taking that confidence and loving what they have naturally. The idea of doing low lights in natural gray hair is actually far less maintenance than one may think. I have multiple clients that I do it on specifically for that reason. You add the low lights in once every five or six months depending on the length of hair. Sometimes even less. As for the blue and purple shampoos, you’re correct, they are definitely out there and in some cases they can work. However many times they’re not strong enough to cut the tone of yellow that people are dealing with. Sometimes something a little stronger, like a toner, is necessary to get that look. I have toners I recommend, use and love, that you can buy on Amazon and do at home. And with all that said, I totally understand where you’re coming from and this brings up a good perspective I should probably share in a future video. Thanks for sharing that insight.

@@justinhickox Thank you for your response! I understand exactly what you’re saying. I do know a few people who can’t get rid of that stubborn yellow who do need some professional assistance. Of course I agree that lowlights can certainly enhance the dimension of color and provide some depth and shadows not found in the natural gray. More power to the folks who choose that and what works for them! Just wanted to share a perspective from someone who stopped coloring at 55 and now enjoys a bit more freedom. I still go to the salon for regular trims. ☺️ I do love these videos and all of the information you share. I would love to know what safe, at-home toners you recommend for women who have gone gray. Such a breath of fresh air…especially taking your videos “on the road.” You have some beautiful scenic backdrops! Have a wonderful day!

@@justinhickox Plantar 39 Silver, shampoo and conditioner, are, in my opinion, really good options on grey hair. I get lots of compliments on mine.

The first suggestion you offered that consists of small tweaks in her length and angling is my fave for this lovely lady. Close second is the bob; it is a stunning option if she really wants to change things up with something quite different from her current style, yet is so easy to grow out of she chooses.

Another bob! The quintessential old lady haircut. As far as the dinginess of the gray goes, why not use a purple shampoo to correct it?

Gee I enjoy these videos. I love seeing 'normal' women. It's a pity that more hairdressers don't spend the extra 8-10 minutes you took to go into this kind of detail. Thank you very much for what you do. :)

I am 58 and stuck in my hair style rut. Scared to make a change. Keep these coming they are so helpful.

Amanda is STUNNING! I love that she's "embraced" her grey. Justin, your constructive critique and suggestions are so thoughtful and well spoken, not to mention spot on (as always)! My favorite style, is #1. The small tweaks you made to her current hairstyle really have big impact! Enjoy your time away with your bride!

Love the subtle changes to her existing look.

I loved the angled bob with the added color dimension. To me she looked younger AND her cheek bones just stood out . The short cut, in my opinion, drew her face down, and added age. Bottomline: She is beautiful in any style or color she chooses!

I like the modified version but with a bit more of the silver/gray highlighting to brighten her hair up a bit more. 😊

Oh wow, just a little change but what a huge difference it made.

Thankyou Justin 😊 I liked the changes you made in the beginning of the video, giving height at the top and slightly shortening the length and angling the side view, enhanced your models naturally attractive face, drawing the eye up, accentuating her bone structure. This style was still feminine and she could wear it up, to give a different look, without cutting it short. Great video 😊You two, enjoy your holiday 🍾🥂🏖

She's beautiful. I love the suggestions. I was thinking about the low lights before you mentioned it. Toner, yes. I also think the shorter cut (#2), looks awesome. Adding to it, a shorter "spikey" cut right at the crown,,, to give more height there, might look awesome too. Then lastly, an overall gloss. Great job Justin. What a beautiful vacation spot. Enjoy every bit of it. Ps...take a break 😊

I love your humility, very refreshing. I am quite sure you are far happier for it. I like the original hairstyle with the changes. I feel like perfectly straight hair can make older people look older. Many blessings for the new year. 😘

I love the color of Amanda’s hair but those subtle changes you made really make it pop. I’m struggling with growing out my hair after chemo last year. It’s now a completely different texture and all gray. Seeing your suggestions for Amanda gives me ideas for my own color. Thanks for all your great suggestions and videos. I always learn a lot from you.

Excellent advice that I can use TODAY! Thank you!

First things first...Amanda you are beautiful! I love the shortest look but more length on top than what you showed on Amanda (like the insert pics you showed with cut). If that's too short then I like the subtle changes you made to her current style...I didn't care for the Bob one. Thanks for doing this on vacation! Enjoy yourself

I just subscribed after seeing this video. I agree that the simple modifications you made to her length really work. Amanda is a beautiful woman. I spent a couple of years growing out my natural hair color after 20 or so years of coloring it. So, if she doesn’t want to color her hair, products that brighten gray hair can make a world of difference. Unfortunately I have had a bad reaction to the products I tried, but my hair looked great!

Great videos! Short, lots of info! Fun to watch. You get right to the point! I watch and learn! You’re a great communicator!

Nice suggestions! Small changes do make a big impact and the first style was spot on to me 👏🏼

So helpful! (especially because I have a similar face shape and hairstyle). She's also a huge inspiration for going gray!!

Thank you for the excellent suggestions. I am 21 months into growing out the balayage coloring that I always received so many compliments on. But chasing the grey’s finally got the best of me and Covid gave me the opportunity. Like Amanda I prefer low maintenance longer hair but that along with my now natural hair coloring has made me question how to retain a feminine low maintenance flattering hairstyle. I prefer the longer cut with added layers on Amanda and liked the added lowlights for dimension.

Justin love your videos! All the explaining really really helps. I like the subtle change a little bit of white and just a smidge of shortening. But I also like the short playful look. Thanks again for another great video.

Justin, your descriptions are so spot on!!!!! Gonna finish out watching to see if anything applies to ME!!!

Love the straight option ! beautiful and striking and clean

It’s amazing how that little colour change from the yellow lifts the whole style. I love the look she has now with those little changes you suggested❤️✨

I like your first suggestion of bringing up the length and adding more color dimension. I also like how she already added waves to give a feminine touch, enhancing her bone structure. Beautiful!

Love the final look. Totally agree on your suggestions. Beautiful lady who could look even more beautiful with your suggestions :)

Hi Justin. Love the video..I think the bob is beautiful. Makes a huge difference..enjoy your vacation and as always thanks for the Phenomenal scenery!! 🤗 hugs

I really liked the short hair option on Amanda. I said, “Wow” when I saw this photoshopped on her. I think it really flatters her beautiful face shape, eyes, and cheekbones.

The outcome of the slightly shorter cut with more layers showed me something I would not have seen before. I appreciate your strategy, and I feel it elevates the overall appearance of the style. The shortcut is incredible, and to me, whichever type selected would also match the personality and lifestyle of the wearer. Also, your color suggestions would breathe more life and drama.

I just recently found you channel and I am loving all of your tips. I wish you were closer because I would definitely be having you work your magic on my hair.
