Long reserved for young women in the collective imagination, this hairstyle will nevertheless be on everyone’s heads this winter.
Forget preconceived ideas and the pressure to cut things short after a certain age. After years where trends seemed to advocate “less is more” once you reach fifty, winter marks a real turning point. The message is clear: statement lengths are coming back to the forefront. Full hair is no longer reserved for twenty-somethings; Demi Moore or Nicole Kidman show it every day. It is therefore time to let everything grow: this cut could well become the new symbol of elegance that lasts through the years.
It’s been a few seasons now that short cuts have not been so popular, even after a certain milestone. Conversely, XXL lengths have never been so popular. “According to the unofficial survey I conducted at John Frieda, there are reports of an increase in the number of people over 50 who want bangs, highlights, all on long hair“, even assures Kathleen Baird-Murray, journalist, in an article published in the British version of Vogue.
Same story with English Glamor where Luke Hersheson, celebrity hairstylist, assures that long bohemian hair is very fashionable this winter. “Sienna Miller is a good reference. I’m thinking of a light cut: the emphasis is still on framing the face, but with softer, flowing ends that have a slight movement. It’s very airy, it doesn’t look too worked. The result looks very “cool girl”“, he says. Don’t hesitate to ask your hairdresser for a subtle gradient in the front to give structure to the face, but “nothing that seems too worked“, insists the professional. You can also twist your cut with curtain bangs or slightly lighter highlights.
We’re not going to hide it, although they are styled in a lot of ways, long hair has a disadvantage: maintenance. Otherwise, you can quickly end up with a Halloween witch effect. Therefore, it is recommended to cut the ends every four to six weeks and to carry out regular care. Mask, gloss, oil bath, you’re spoiled for choice! But one thing is certain: XXL lengths now have their place on all heads, regardless of age. All you have to do is take the plunge.
