Choosing the Perfect Style

When it comes to long hair, Linda emphasizes that the right cut can make all the difference. “A great cut can make anyone look 10 years younger,” she says. For women over 50, she suggests considering face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle. “A good stylist will work with your natural texture,” she advises, “so you don’t have to spend hours styling.”

Healthy Hair at Any Age

But what about hair that’s thinning or losing its luster? Linda’s got you covered. “For thinning hair,” she says, “a blunt cut is the way to go.” This style creates the illusion of thickness and volume. For women with finer hair, she recommends layers. “These can add fullness and body,” she notes. To keep hair looking and feeling its best, she advises using a good shampoo, conditioner, and styling products. “A leave-in conditioner is a must,” she insists. “It will help protect your hair from the sun and other environmental damage.”
