His ideas about hairdressing:
Oder women can also embrace hair trends but it’s important to take the shape of your face and your skin tone into consideration, as these can change as you get older. A suitable color and cut can make all the difference, so it’s best to speak to your colorist/hairdresser about this as they’ll be able to give you their professional opinion as to what looks are more appropriate for you.
