As the temperatures rise, many of us look for ways to keep cool. One often overlooked aspect is how a refreshing new hairstyle can make a difference. None other than Linda Miller, a seasoned hairstylist, is here to share some valuable advice on achieving the perfect summer hairdo for women over 60.
Summer hair for every type
Linda begins by emphasizing a crucial point, “It’s not just about hairstyles, but what works best for every hair texture.” She expounds that thinner hair might benefit from a shorter, layered cut, such as a pixie or bob, to avoid a stringy appearance towards summer’s end.
Caring for curly and thick hair
On the other hand, thicker hair might enjoy the added volume from a longer style. However, she cautions the use of heat styling tools in the summer, noting they can contribute to dry hair. “Consider keratin treatments for frizz control,” she suggests, hinting at alternatives that would keep thick, unruly hair in check during the warmest days.
