Long hair can be a stunning asset for older women, but finding the right hairstyle can be challenging. Renowned hairstylist Linda Miller shares her expertise on choosing a flattering style for your face shape, hair texture, and age. Let’s dive into her valuable advice!

Hair Texture and Thickness

Linda advises, “Consider your hair texture and thickness. If you have thick hair, a long hairstyle with lots of layers will help reduce the bulk. For thin hair, long styles with few layers and a blunt cut at the bottom will make hair appear fuller.”

Face Shape Considerations

Linda highlights the importance of considering your face shape when choosing a hairstyle. For those with a round face, she recommends long hair with layers and a side part, as it creates the illusion of length.
