Quick Fix

Freshen up to modernity and lose the bad hair blues
My sister has finally agreed to cut her hair!!! She is 42 years old and is in need of a style makeover. I would like to focus on her biggest issue: her hair.

She is a natural blond with stick straight hair down to her waist and bangs that are commonly worn curled under and teased.this is all about of how to quick fix our hair. She has worn this style for well over 15 years and has refused to cut it because she thinks that "guys love it".

There are a few concerns here: The long length, the 80’s sitcom star bangs, the guy thing and, your well-intended desire to ambush her into a up-to-date makeover

No one past a teenybopper looks good with insanely long hair - weather an old hippie at heart or a Crystal Gale fanatic, there is such a thing as too much.
Like our Rapunzel poster girl pictured, most women with hair as long as a kitchen curtain, have other issues going on whereas they just don’t want to get with the calendar of life and submit themselves to the hands of someone with a scissor who can actually help them look better. 

Hair that long usually looks dry, unhealthy and typically is a variety of colors from graying at the roots to a faded version of their original color by their waist. More important, super, super long hair is simply not flattering outside of a Cousin It contest and slicing off a yard or so would create more shape, volume, and movement and therefore be an instant image enhancer. 

Those curled under and teased bangs have got to go! They were hideous 20 years ago when they were sort of fashionable and are even more heinous today. Usually you see this hair-don’t when magazines dig up old high school photos of celebrities to show how they looked before they made it. Well, look like you’ve made it- lose the cringe-fringe!

Now about you: you’ve got a job there. From how you describe your sister, you probably are more than right that she needs a makeover, however, it’s not that simple. First off, it’s her makeover, not yours. Unless she is willing to give you carte blanche to help her with a total image rehaul, you need to take her feelings into consideration. If she’s had that mane for years and years, it may not be so easy for her to hack it all off in one shot. She may need a couple of haircuts to get used to a more sophisticated presence.

Bring along some photos of favorite, realistic hairstyles  to your hair stylist and let your sister and the stylist consult on what style would suit her best right now. A modern hairstyle is the best step to a fresh style beginning, start small and you may work up to big results! Good luck.
