I completely disagree with the notion of avoiding long hair after turning 50. Furthermore, layering hair can actually make it appear thinner, which isn't ideal for women over 50 who typically desire fuller-looking hair.

It took a long time to grow it out this long and to care for it and it's gorgeous. A woman doesn't need someone like you feeding her insecurities. Tell her she's beautiful. Done. She's been through enough scrutiny her entire life. By the time you reach your fifties as a woman, you should be trusted to clothe and style yourself as you see fit.

I take alot of AMPK and NAD boosters such as Metformin, Berberine, and NMN. I'm not diabetic, but Metformin doesn't cause hypoglycemia so it's safe for non diabetics to take. I'm not 100% sure that these things reverse aging, but that's what I read on the internet. I'm still having a hard time believing I'm 60. I feel like I did at 18.

I'm the same as you. My hair is of 1a type (straight, silky, relatively thin) and if I had it layered, the ends would look like mouse tails really. Layers is not a fit-all trend. They look perfect on ladies with voluminous wavy, curly or coily hair (the tighter the curls, the more prominent the layers). For women with straight hair that's a big no-no, maybe with the exception of women with type 1c (coarse hair, predominantly straight, but can hold a bit of wave). I don't know, I'm just happy with what I feel that suits me.

Many years of mistakes when I had long hair. Justin is right, many stylists cut hair “by the book” - exactly how they were taught. Beauty schools teach basic cuts, the same teaching methods since 1940, zero creative freedom. Just enough to pass the boards to be licensed. I know..my daughter was a stylist but after she got licensed went to an advanced training school run by a high end salon that teach techniques Justin described. Customized to different hair texture. Only highly experienced and creative stylists know how to avoid making your hair look fractured. My daughter is no longer behind the chair.

I could write a book on this subject. I am in my mid 50's and have always had very long thick hair. For decades I had gone to a salon every eight to ten weeks. I cannot tell you how many times I have left the salon with a haircut I hate, that is unmanageable or had been completely hacked to pieces by a person that should not even be allowed to use scissors. Countless hairdressers that have no idea what they are doing. Or if you do find a good one, next time you go back the person has left or moved far away, so you don't get to build trust with one person. And each time I go it costs me at least $300 because when you have very long hair they charge you more. The last time I visited a salon about 6 years ago I wanted layers as you suggested. Well some of them were so short they didn't sit in with the rest of my hair. Most of my hair was on the floor. I left completely devastated and it took two years for my hair to grow back to what it was. I will never go to a hairdresser again. I have no trust in the industry at all. So I will keep my long hair no matter what you say.

Ladies, hair dressers will never stop wanting to cut your hair. They'll be always telling you what they want for you. I have no split ends, my hair is healthier now than when I was young. Truly truly I tell you, that if you want your hair down to your behind you will have so much attention so many people respecting you, and I want to encourage you to go for it❣️👍 And stay away from hair dressers. Seriously. If you want your hair down to and past your behind, never go to a hair dresser, they will only make you cry. Be happy and free with your hair. Use good shampoo and conditioner, various oils, don't use electric hair tools, let it air dry, use a boar bristle brush and a real turtle comb. Wash it only once a week. Enjoy it and believe me, others will enjoy it too!

If you should desire long hair, I encourage you to be encouraged about letting it get long, and to feel absolutely free to do so. And to not concern yourself with others who want style or the latest fashion. Long hair itself is just plain attractive. It's not a style or fashion, that's what's amazing is that long hair commands everyone's attention. It does that all by itself. It's a phenomenon. Absolutely feel good about it 👍 and set yourself free from all the things everyone else is doing. It's surely up to everyone. I encourage all who desire to have long hair, don't be afraid to do it. Enjoy it, and everyone else will too. Thin or thick, gray or brown, white or blond, it's only the length that is amazing to everyone , I find everyone everywhere sees the length: Wow,!

My hair is very straight, it's graying, I'm 66, my hair has never held a perm longer than a few days, and I've decided to just go with it. My favorite style right now for my below-the-waist hair is a low bun, twisted three times around the hair elastic, and it stays put all day. I wash it once a week with rice water shampoo and condition it with rice water conditioner, and let it dry naturally all day on a Sunday. I don't use heat on it. It's in such good condition. It costs me next to nothing to maintain. One of these days I'll be getting a straight-across-the-back haircut up to just above the bra line, and I'll send my 12" braids to Wigs For Kids -- and start growing my hair out all over again for the next couple of years.

That's amazing! It's a goal to reach and for a good deed. My hair is of the 1a type (straight, silky, can't hold curls, thin texture). Going one-length with trimmed ends is the best option for me too. I've seen hairdressers' videos where ladies come with super long, frizzy hair and the hairdresser does a crazy transformation with cutting their hair into a bob or long bob plus hair dye with highlights plus layers and it makes me want to scream "no, no, lady, you just needed a good anti-frizz and trimming the ends, why this trouble now?!" The resulting haircuts are very high-maintenance with high-effort blow dry needed (plus more frequent washing of hair) and the color is also expensive to maintain, without the possibility of having highlights redone on the roots. Real trouble. I understand it's Justin's job to recommend more high-maintenance hair in order to keep providing his services. Many women enjoy treating themselves to that, spoiling themselves frequently with haircuts, treatments and multi-layered highlights or lowlights, and luckily they keep the business running well. I on the other hand have got limited time and money to go with. And definitely limited hair "canvas" for any ardent hairstylist to work with. So I just keep my thin, precious hair by myself, doing whatever is best for it.

I'm 58 and I have very long hair and get nothing but compliments on it. I wear it long because I have the type of hair that reacts to humidity and gets frizzy no matter what products I use. It became difficult to control, I hated all the products in my hair and ultimately it's healthier to have it long and put it back in ponytail or a braid rather than all the styling products and time it takes only to have it not work. I don't want to go through that anymore.

I am 55 and have long hair (no layers) i love it and get lots of compliments.

My beautiful long brown hair looks very flattering . My petite, slim frame, is clothed in form fitting, modern clothing. I pull it back into a ponytail for my almost daily gym workouts. I am in my early 70’s and my hubby loves the way I look, and so do I!

I've tried long hair once in decades. I have very slow growing, dark brown, fine hair, not super thin. I always ended up tying it back, just a small gust of wind would blow it all over the place. So mostly had the pixie cut or a Louise Brooks bob once or twice. I have a elfin face and big doe eyes. So I reckon it suits me just fine. Mary Quant, Twiggy , Audrey , Liza Minelli sort of gave me confidence that way. I used to pass Vidal Sassoons salons, when I was a poor student and get free haircuts. Lol. I admire long thick hair from afar though. I suppose some layers can give a bit of a lift and is less severe. Depends on the individual. Its a lot about being confident, adventurous and being happy in your skin.

Older ladies used to call the inbetween, salt and pepper, or battle ship grey. They had rollers in under scarves. Setting lotions and perms. Sitting under big hair dryers etc. The sixties was liberation from that in a way, my mother had "no body" in her hair, and did the the gamine mod cut thing. Her mom used to twist her fine hair into all sorts of shapes. It suited her, though she did have long hippy locks too. Short hair is actually quite hard to maintain.

I'm only in my 30s but I know layers are never gonna work for me and especially not when I'm over 50 and my hair gets even thinner (it's already thin). Layers are great for medium and thick hair but I feel like with really thin hair you either get a blunt cut or get a really short hairstyle, otherwise it just looks bad.

I totally hear you! It’s tough, layers done correctly on thin hair can be great! They can make it look a lot thicker! However, done incorrectly and they can be a nightmare. With front layers on thin hair, you just want to be sure to cut the ends blunt so that they look thicker. You may also consider just doing some longer, kind of curtain bang style, layers that aren’t actually blended into the front length. They can appear thicker and add a cool edge to the shape.

If you get shit it's not on those who comment, it's what you are asking for by the judgemental assumptions and belittling of women, telling them what they've been told for decades on end. If your intent with the video is to support women in their individual and empowerment you seriously need to reflect that in the titles. We don't f--k about at this age, we set boundaries and we tell it like we see it.

I'm one of the ones that won't be watching it, simply because of the offensive title, and it's not the first time I've seen one of your videos titled in similar ways.

I have long grey hair. I know it isn't fun for hairdressers because it requires very little maintenance and is not exciting for hairdressers. Just yesterday, people stop me and want to look at it at the store. Imo Fabio was right. He does almost nothing to his hair, and it looks awesome. My advice is do not do a lot of things to the hair. Styling, heating, cutting and putting chemicals on hair trashes the hair.

Long hair is good, you just have to style it, braid it, pony tail it, bun it, etc. I am 58 and have bigger longer hair now than when I was in my 20s. In my 20s, I was always layering it and cutting it. Now I brush and nourish and play with it, one length. I usually hold it up on top of my head with a headband, silk scarf, ribbons, and soft elastics. It's neat and grows fast. I trim it myself too.

Justin, I appreciate your advice, especially do what makes you feel beautiful. You have helped me feel much more beautiful as I've followed your advice and shared videos with my stylist. We have both improved, and we love the compliments! Her business picked up just by word of mouth. Thank you! 💕🌻

The woman in the example picture looks incredible. Like everything it depends on what suits you. There are lots of unflattering layers out there.

Thank you for letting me know how to speak to my hairdresser about this. I am over 60 with very long hair and bangs. When I asked my hairdresser to add layers to the sides but to keep the back looking long she said she didn't have any idea how to do that and said it would be a "mullet". I told her I was looking to "update" my style, but my thin ends would look terrible layered. She then told me she could not help me unless I found some photos and examples for her to see. I was quite frustrated. Now I better understand all of the things about layering and what I would like to see - thank you!!! And also, I don't understand some of these comments, I heard you several times advocating folks to do or keep whatever made them happy and feel free not to follow any of your advice! I love that!

it really is only Justin's opinion and not an attack on us silver, long haired ladies. You do you!

All these naysayers act as if they are sooo strong emotionally and in every way and yet they are absurdly triggered by a professionals advice. Go figure. If it wasn’t so ridiculous it would be hilarious. My husband said “I bet most of them aren’t married “.

Justin, I was told that layered hair (even long layers) requires more styling and upkeep than one-length long hair. Is that true? My mom is a hairstylist and refuses to cut my hair in layers because she says that layers are maintenance and I don’t like to spend time on my hair. I’ve had long, one-length hair on and off since elementary school and am nearing the age where it will start to drag my face down. What would you recommend in this scenario? I’m not interested in the DIY front layers.

I have long, neon orange hair, and I will always have it until I die. I became insecure enough to change it recently, and that's never happening again. I think older women with long gray hair always look elegant and wise. At a certain point, being considered conventionally attractive by the masses becomes demeaning and unsatisfying. Looking how you feel on the inside is what helps more than anything.

I’ve been blessed with thick naturally curly hair that likes to curl up in doll ringlets lol Yet I have no hair skills at all 😅 I like this video and the analogy you used. And how you clearly stated that there’s no judgement if one chooses to wear long one length hair. I can never communicate properly with a stylist, no amount of pictures or descriptions works…always get too much lopped off or they want to part it down the middle (which is too harsh with my face) I just let it grow and do its thing, like a hedge 😂😂😂 I trim it once a year and leave it at that. I straighten my bangs and keep them trimmed.

It is impossible to find a talented hairstylist. After trying the last 5 “senior stylists”, that each charged over $100, I am over it. At this point, I am happy to settle on doing my own trims and letting my hair grow to one length.

I’ve always had very thick long hair, with no layers for years, though... I went in and had a nice trim and they added layers, it suits my oval face with high cheekbones. I now keep my hair at a more medium length, it used to be very long. Plus, it actually feels sexier this way, more life and bounce .. I like to pull it up in a claw after it’s been fluffed and curled, pull to hairs out.. this is my look lately. The long hair didn’t allow me to wear my hair up like that, it was too weighed down. I think this is great advice! Do what you want though.. and don’t get so upset that a man is sharing good advice .. he’s a professional.

While I agree with many commenters here that mature women are beyond accepting fashion advice from others, especially men, this video was actually helpful. I have avoided getting my long hair trimmed for over a year because the last time it came out very choppy, just as you said. But now my ends are thin, so I must do something.

I really don’t under all the people being upset with this video. He says at the very beginning if you like your hair- don’t listen to what he is saying. The post is for those that want a change to their hair but are wary of getting layers and how to avoid those concerns. It’s very specific so if it doesn’t apply to you, move along. I thought it was spot on and he even tells you that you can give yourself the layers, he’s not telling you to go out and spend a bunch of money at the salon. I personally would never do that. I love getting my hair done and I’m 55 with long layered hair and highlights, I go every 4 months and I get compliments from everyone even young women. My stylist is fantastic!

I have had too many hair stylists cut my hair in a way that makes _them_ happy, but is impossible for me to maintain because my hair simply won't behave due to the pattern in which it grows. So I walk out of the salon looking good, and within two days I look at my hair and say, "Oh, well, just let it grow out." I'll watch your video on do-it-yourself layering, see what happens.

Hi Justin. Actually in the 90’s, mushroom cuts were a thing for boys haircuts. My son wore one for a while. My problem with layers is I have a naturally deep recession line and my front layers look stringy. I also hate short hairs brushing against my face.

@justinhickox

5 ай бұрын

HAHA! I remember those cuts in the 90's!!! They were a BIG thing! You're not alone with the recession lines. That can cause a bit of a hurdle. Sometimes, in those situations, I find that actually cutting the front layers like a bang (a long bang) without connecting them into the rest of the front length, can work. So basically, you section out the bang area, then cut them similar to how you would for curtain bangs (leaving them around the cheekbone length) and not actually cutting any of the rest of the front. It still gives a point of interest in the front and can accentuate cheekbones. With all that said, it WILL NOT help the concern of hair being in your face. It would actually be harder for you since they'd likely be too short to easily tuck behind your ears etc. So, an option for the look but not for the "in my face" concern.

Great question. The step-by-step for cutting layers in the back of your hair is a bit more complicated. Totally doable though. I actually have a video in my home master class that explains it exactly. There’s a link in the description where you can learn more about that course. If you’re going to do layers at a salon, explaining to the stylist, what I explained in this video will give you the best opportunity for great results.

I believe the "butterfly" hair cut follows the layering principles you mentioned towards the end about taking a piece of hair from the high point of the occipital bone and one from the front .... I've been doing the butterfly cut on myself ever since I learned about it and it's fabulous! I have shoulder length fairly fine hair and it really gives it body and texture I can work with... Love it!

Thanks for the advice. I will have my ends trimmed and 2 or 3 layers cut. I do need some movement in the back. I love my long curly hair. Love all your videos. ❤

Longer layers on top, pixie-short sides and back....really, I followed your advice, collected some of your vids and marched them to a new stylist (I had relocated, so I needed a new one).

Here's the thing Justin, you constantly say to us that just because we're over 50 we don't need to cut our hair. Yet you do many videos where you actually say we need to cut our hair. Or color it. I went to cosmetology school too, and one thing I remember is that "nature gives us the color we're supposed to have". The other thing I remember is you do what the client wants, even if your ideas might be better. Always. You give the client what they want. I've left more than one stylist for ignoring me. For some of us, with my wavy curly hair that I like to blow out, the layers are just more work.

Perfect timing. I desperately need a haircut but I don't think I'll have time to go until January... I have your haircutting video open in a tab waiting to be watched... Can you recommend an inexpensive, easily obtained pair of scissors... and since my hair is a bit coarse and very thick, should I also get thinning sheers to help the layers fall better? One unrelated question. Sometimes I miss what you say because I am trying to decipher all your ink. I think we need a tour and the story behind each one... Just sayin!

Layers are a PITA. My long, one length hair, is easy for me to cut myself, easy to care for, and easy for me to wear up or down.

Did anyone actually watch the video? Most comments sounds like they just read the clickbait title. He clearly says you should keep your hair anyway you like and feel comfortable with.

He starts this video saying that you should do what you like/want and reinforces that message at the end as well - as he does in *every video* of his that I've seen - it just makes me wonder, why watch the video then? Turn it off if you're so offended - or watch a female hairstylist. I have to wonder if some of the people watching are really just looking for reasons to be offended, they enjoy making mean (and in this case uninformed/misinterpreted) comments? Either way it makes no sense to me. Justin goes out of his way to say "here are some generalities, some options and opinions, but *you do what you like.* Not everything is for everybody, but as a trained hairdresser I know there are some styles that will suit the majority and some that won't, but It's your hair, you do you.

@@justinhickox it did make sense, as do all your videos. Thanks to you, I chopped my own hair into a pixie and love it

@@nancycy9039 basically you pull your hair up from your occipital bone then you grab some hair from the top of your head and put it up however, long the hair is from your occipital bone. The hair on top of your head should not be any shorter than that so if you put your finger on your hair from the top of your head right where it meets the hair from the acceptable bone and then keep your finger on your hair and allow it to fall to the side, that will show you how long your layers on top should be. Not sure if that makes more sense. And yes, front layers and top layers are just different things. Your front layers are not dictated by how long your hair is overall.

@@justinhickox Aaah! Thank you Justin. So it seems that if my top layers are already shorter than the back length, it might be best to start with a trim of the uneven and very long back. I’m going to try that today! Front layers later… You have helped me feel braver about trying these things and I appreciate you.

I am 62 with very long hair and have noticed it can be very unflattering so I have it shorter in front. Your tutorial video will be very helpful in getting the next trim looking nicer Incedentally the flowy dresses look better on me since I also have 62 year old body.

How and why would someone ever say this?? The more I hear this, the more I’m convinced just be you!!!

I DEF don't agree with this one. Caroline Labouchere (pictured on the "COVER" of this video) is so absolutely gorgeous, probably BECAUSE of her hair. Her facial features are already so beautifully prominent naturally; Those cheekbones, eyes and her gorgeous eyebrows, don't Need accentuating; Her one-length hairstyle serves instead to tastefully frame her features AND the one-length does it in such a timeless, super-feminine style. I mean, she's a WORKING model. I follow her on INSTA, and that mane of hers looks utterly amazing loose & curly...up in a bun...in a low sleek ponytail; Classic, Posh, age-less. *SIGH* I've admired her chic style since I first discovered her.

I absolutely love your videos and your advice!!! Keep them coming!

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that.

Turning 56 this month and first time in years my hair is very long and not cutting it since is more comfortable for my type of job as a courier.

Love this idea 💡 just started doing it this way myself and it is looking better!

Hmmm... not sure about those who claim they can't afford a haircut, as we are not even middle class, but we have friends/family who can trim/cut hair...and Mr. Hickox gives excellent lessons in DIY! Fortunately, my hair is as short as my son's, so I keep it interesting by playing around with undercut, bangs, and color. Thank you, Sir, for the encouragement to try something new! 🌟

Sure, if you have short hair. You can just chop the crap out of it. But for those of us with long hair who can't see behind our head, we're not gonna give ourselves homemade haircuts, or have Uncle Donny do it for us. 😂

@@chellejack3480 I totally hear where you’re coming from, I have many folks in my home hair master class that have done exactly what you’re saying with great results. It does sound hard, and it is definitely more technical, but absolutely can be done.

Great video, Justin!..SO on point…very, very helpful!!!…thank you for all you bring to us!!!…#OGCommunityRockstar

Watching this, I just love the animation in this video!..the mushroom killed me!🤣🤣

I do front layers myself using a clip I bought off of amazon that is meant for cutting your own hair. I have not been to a stylist since before covid.

OHMYGAWD!! You are truly AMAZING!!! Breaking everything down to educate a client about hair styles and how they can make or break a woman's look as they mature. And BOOM!! Educating clients on the how to avoid issues with hair stylists that have been taught a basic technique for layering that makes NO SENSE.. and what the client needs to know about the correct layering technique and how to avoid a nightmare result!! 💖🙏Thank YOU!!

Thank you Justin for the excellent tutorial on how to add some front layers by myself. I’m amused how many defensive people have commented obviously without watching the video - including your comment that everyone should wear whatever style makes them happy.

The headline itself is an affront, no matter what he says afterwards. So MAYBE that's the reason why women react without watching (in detail). So as I did. It's not really amusing that headlines like this - or rather clickbait - still seem to be acceptable to some people.

@@amerubix185 I have no doubt that’s the reason.

FINALLY!!! I'm so glad you said it!! Stop cutting into the perimeter of your haircut! I wish they'd stop teaching it too! LOVE your videos❤

I love the longer hair with less layers ❤🥰
