Are you over 70 and considering a new hairstyle? You’re not alone! As we age, our hair changes, and so do our styling needs. But fear not! Linda Miller, a seasoned hairstylist with decades of experience, is here to guide you. Let’s dive into her expert advice on finding the perfect haircut and color for your hair type and texture.
Understanding Your Hair Texture
Linda believes that the first step is to understand your hair texture. Do you have fine, medium, or coarse hair? Is it straight, wavy, curly, or coily? Each texture requires a different approach when it comes to hair color and haircut.
Choosing the Right Haircut
Linda suggests that if you have fine, straight hair, you should opt for a blunt haircut with minimal layers. This style will make your hair appear fuller and thicker. On the other hand, if you have fine, wavy, or curly hair, a layered haircut will help remove weight and enhance the natural texture.
