"Hair's a Thought..."

"I Hate my hair!" How many times friends do hear this or say this in the course of a day? Better yet, how many times do you see someone in the street or even (shhhhh) someone you know and think, "She really needs to do something with that hair of hers." So..."HAIRS" the thing..... In my opinion if you're pushing past 35 you should NOT have hair longer than the tips of you shoulders, and unless you're working out or your 12, your regular everyday hair-do should NOT be a ponytail.

"Hair" are my reasons...(I promise i'll stop with the pun thing after this..)

First of all, as you get older, in case you haven't noticed, stuff starts to droop and hang. Gravity is rapidly drawing us down and it's happening everywhere on us including our faces. When that starts to happen, hair that is too long and hanging down ACCENTUATES this long-faced, drawn out, yes...older looking face!. I hate to say it girls. I know many of you want to hang on to your hair clutching it like a security blanket, but if your past 35 you really need to hack some of that off. Now I'm not saying you need to run out and get a "Sharon Stone" but if you fit into the category where you're reaching that age group and you can actually BRAID your hair, you really ought and need to consider a new, shorter, up to date style. I think shoulder length hair is more than plenty long if you're that attached to it but it still needs to be chipped or layered slightly around your face to give it some movement and to help "lift" your face naturally. I swear it can take years of your life. Click here to take a look at this little slide show if you have a minute. Notice not all of these women took a lot of length of but just enough to soften and shorten the look of their faces. (ok I know the make up and happy faces help too.) See what I mean? Nothing drastic was done, no shaving of the head was involved, just an update and a few measly inches here and there. If you're really brave, for my friends that live out here in Central Mass, take yourself over to Salon Sogno and see Jack or David or any of the great stylists there, and tell them I sent you for a makeover. For my peeps on the South Shore, check out Charles David Salon. Both are FABULOUS!
