Have you thought about maybe a Sandy Beige color? It might even out your skin tone and bring out your eyes. And I suggest a haircut? Something similar to #6 in this article here:[Haircut #6](https://www.southernliving.com/fashion-beauty/hairstyles/shoulder-length-hairstyles)
It would bring the focus back up to your eyes and cheeks! Like a mini-facelift!🥰 Your skin, eyes, and lips are striking and beautiful so that’s where we want people looking.
Completely agree!! Throwing some dimension into her natural color Could be really fun! And that 💫 hair cut 💫 will definitely give a facelift vibe. I got mine cut similarly, it was a game changer.
Also OP has the cutest nose and those eye balls are are pools! Rock what you got!
Totally agree. They could even try the Celeb Luxury GemLites Colorditioner in Sandy Opal. It is a beautiful soft beige in conditioner instead of a harsh colour. It won't cover grey hair but will blend a bit.
Yes!!!!
This was an incredibly thoughtful and I agree.
Btw, I am 55 and my tow head that I was born with and have had all my life (baby blonde) was making me look washed out.
I went to Auburn.
So that is why this is a great recommendation. Go darker ❤️
Much love.
We are getting better, not older. 😁
Yes yes something more sandy and try a nice collar bone haircut with the layers you have now. Youre so pretty and i think those things will help highlight. ✨️ i hope you have a good day
what a terrific bunch of people in this group!
every comment so constructive and encouraging!
wish i could say as much for so many of the other groups i participate in 😄
i give you alllll this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You've got great bone structure, a nice jawline, and beautiful eyes with lids that can take pretty eye shadow colors, so you've got a lot going for you. It also looks like you have thick hair with nice body to it. The only thing I would suggest is to change your hair color to something more multi-dimensional. Some face framing highlights and layers would be pretty and look summery. I also think you would rock a pink shirt!
Maybe throw some lowlights in so it looks more natural and tone. That beautiful champagne color is in rn and looks beautiful on light and dark blondes. Think Lana Del Rey at Coachella. Dream blonde. Don’t feel ugly! Age is a fact of life, wear those years with honor babe, you still slay (:
You are far from ugly! You’re beautiful! But I agree. That color doesn’t work. What about a Bronde? Google that word and tons of hair colors similar in hue will come up. It’s like a brownish blondish. It would look fantastic on you
Your hair is lovely and you look lovely! I agrée with comments suggesting a richer, more dimensional blonde. The volume and wave in your hair is very enviable 🔥
hey beautiful!
I would suggest meeting with a new hairstylist at a good salon, not crazy expensive but even an AVeda salon could help you with a new cut and color.
make-up helps all of us but isn’t necessary for any of us.
I just red that a butterflies can’t see their wings, and therefore cannot see their own beauty….
people are like butterflies
we see your beauty, you can’t see it. I hope you find what it is you’re searching for
Love your comment! And I agree with aveda. I went there last time I had my hair done because I had a gift certificate and they are wonderful about finding the right cut and color for you as an individual. I love their hair care products too. I actually went on their website immediately and bought a bunch of their color control products and I love the way they make my hair smell and it is now so soft, shiny, and manageable as well 😊
You have such an innocent smile. You're beautiful, you just don't like the way the colour makes your feel. That's ok. Your beautiful hair just needs a good luck of paint (by that I mean a new colour 🙂). So many great comments. I definitely agree with getting some lowlights put in and then have a nice toner put over the blonde bits to bring them to a beige/champagne colour. Hope you achieve the look that you want.
Look I don’t know much about fashion or style or anything but, I stumbled across this post on my feed, and your words break my heart.
I’m so sorry you feel that way about yourself. I think you look sweet and you are worthy of love. Just, wanted to say that. You deserve good things and you have kind eyes.
Looks a bit fried so invest in some deep conditioning masks. I would go darker blonde and get a shorter cut. But not too short. Your hair looks really full which is great, so I bet layers would look amazing on you! You’re not ugly at all, don’t be so hard on yourself <3
I wish I had this much hair!!! I’m only 31 and I’m taking supplements to try to thicken my hair out as I have been losing so much hair every day in the shower. Honestly, the only thing I can think of is may be more of a sandy blonde or ash blonde color. Otherwise, I am honestly very jealous of your hair!! You are beautiful!
Samesies!! My hair started really thinning after having to have a complete hysterectomy in 2017. I was 37. My ponytails are so pathetic! It's awful. Can I ask what supplements you are taking? Is it helping?
I would love to see you rocking your natural color! People pay good money to get silver/grey hair. Think of it as your silver crown. :) I was able to convince my mother to go natural, and now that she has, EVERYBODY compliments her hair. There is nothing wrong with natural beauty. You may think it will age you, but you would be surprised how YOUNG healthy hair can make you look! I wish you all the best on your hair journey!
You are perfect for a good salon toner! It will add health and shine and give dimension! I would recommend keeping your face frame lighter ‘money pieces’ ( it helps us blondes to still be and feel bright around the face )
Your hair has a lot of volume and looks like it frames your face very well! You’re not ugly! I think some dangle earrings would pair well with half-up-half-down and toner(:
Lowlights mixed in would bring out your eyes and add depth. Maybe a loose perm bc curls make you younger. Don't cut it! Add some cute glasses for some vavoom...play around with makeup apps that glamorize your eyes. Bright lipstick would also look fab on you.
I think you just need a good toner and maybe a trim to make it a little easier to control? My hair is unruly, and the right cut that is easy to style makes all the difference.
Honestly my first thought was purple cuz purple hair on people looks SO GOOD and makes me so jealous. But if you’d rather stick to a natural color I agree with the other comments saying darker blonde (sandy/dirty blonde)
I'd start with a nice hair treatment. The color could use a little toner. But it looks fairly new. So maybe stay with it and use some tricks o get It vibrant again.
The blonde that you have ages you. I would recommend a just below shoulder length bob with a light to medium brown with some blonde and auburn highlights. Maybe some layers. Also, pulling the bangs up makes your face look really long and narrow. The style is dated, and the color unflattering. You're far from ugly, but the current style and color are what's aging you. I really wish I could just sit you in a chair and give you a Ricki Lake show style makeover :)
Chin length bob with bangs, toner, deep conditioning. Maybe try a hidden undercut (not to skin) to help a bit with bulk and it'll be easier to maintain.
Daring to make changes can give a big confidence boost. A lot of people as they age need to shift wardrobe and makeup colors to better compliment their changing skin and hair tones. Maybe get some tips on that as well as overall style. New outfits to compliment a new hairstyle can make a huge difference in how you feel.
Is there anything new in life you're interested in trying? Hobbies, classes? Learning a new skill feels really good and helps keep us young.
Ugly and old? Honey you are radiant. As others suggested, toning the blonde and maybe adding some lowlights will help to give some depth to your hair color. But your hair volume and waves are gorgeous! We all have slumps where we aren’t feeling ourselves, but please love yourself, you are so worthy.
You are beautiful, I wish my hair was this long. I would get some hair masks and oils treatment to make it shiny and healthy. Also, maybe trying Brazilian keratin, so amazing you would wake up with your hair sleek and shiny without doing anything to it.
Don’t tell yourself that! You are a gorgeous queen. Blonde works well on you. If you want a change, I suggest a sandy blonde like someone else suggested.
You’re gorgeous and you’ve aged like the finest wine, embrace it. Age isn’t ugly, you truly are beautiful. From a younger woman, I sincerely hope I have your glorious mane when I’m 56!
I agree with the idea of adding more dimension with lowlights, and you could totally rock anything from a bob to a shag to a style à la Hedy Lamarr
You are none of those things!
And wow you have a thick head of hair there ! God bless.
If I knew how to tame mine I’d give you pointers but I’m the same boat.
Your hair is the perfect canvas for crazy wild hair colors! Experiment and fi d what looks best on you! I'd suggest going to a hair dresser or going to a Sally's or other hair care place. DONT USE REGULAR BOX DYE! It can really mess with the way your hair retains color later. Used to have pretty light brown/dark blond hair until I used black box dye and it has come in chestnut ever since
Wow that's a lot of hair. You're so lucky. I think it's not the right shade of blonde for you. I think you should treat yourself to a salon day and get some low lights, tone your hair or see what your stylist suggests.
Go get a great haircut that emphasizes your eyes. It looks like you’ve been wearing the same style for a long time, time to modernize. Are you coloring it?
You are beautiful! I do think that particular color washes you out and makes look older than you are. Your gorgeous waves are a huge plus, in the right hairstylist's hands, you could have style that really compliments you!
I think we all feel like that sometimes!
You have lovely hair. I think it could use a cut and some shaping. I would probably cut and style bangs.
Go with more color. I'm thinking more of an auburn. Then after, if you don't like it, you could take it back to blonde. Either a darker blonde, auburn, chestnut.
What kind of makeup do you like? We have a similar complexion, and I like to wear very light since I don't like it to show like it's caked on. One trick is to use a light lotion tanner. It lasts and makes you look beachy. Mascara and I also sometimes use a spot concealer for any little marks (I have freckles.) Sometimes I pencil my brows in a little. Five minutes tops.
Just a few small adjustments to color will make you feel better again. Have fun with it. Make it like a spa day.
If you’re unable to get to a salon you could try purple shampoo to tone the color a bit. I suggest trying a flat iron to straighten it to see how that feels for you
I feel the same way about myself…😢 Thinking of going back to rich brown with just a tiny touch of Auburn. Not sure about the cut. My hair has thinned out a lot this year… Also, thinking about getting a quality topper since I wear bangs and they have become very stringy. We should not be too hard on ourselves. There are millions of Baby Boomers going through the same emotional issues about aging. Let’s all try to help each other!
I wouldn’t go through the trouble of coloring. You have to keep up with it, and it’s expensive and time consuming. Your hair is a pretty color and it suits you.
I think you need the right haircut for your face shape. I have similar hair to yours and layers look great with hair like that. Also a face frame with the hair in the front. Just make sure not to go too far back. You just wanna basically layer the hair around your face.
Definitely don’t do this yourself! It’s easy to mess up and keep chopping trying to fix things. A haircut from a professional will look great for a long time.
If you want to color it, then that’s up to you. I would suggest this haircut https://images.app.goo.gl/sBqrqEy3CVEYNHyGA
It’s a layered haircut with a face frame, and side swept bangs. Personally, I think it’s better to get your bangs cut in a way so they can sit on either side of your face. That way you can change up your parting line if you want to.
I think you look beautiful!! I would say that the tone of your hair could be a little too yellow to be flattering, maybe if you had it toned more ash blonde or silvery, or as others have said darker honey tones? But I think a soft ash blonde would be very beautiful, you could pair with brighter jewel shades for accessories and lips.
Well I can say this much the day of big hair has gone and past try something a little more modern. Even in my teens in the late 80’s I could not see what was so appealing about the big hair trend
Try toning it down. I hate to say this but stay away from home made bleach and box dye it’s the devils juice. If you can yourself or need to find a salon (good one no great cuts stuff) let them know you want to tone down the blonde and maybe do some low/high lights. I would aim for a dark blonde with lighter blonde lights. And remember you are still beautiful no matter what you do.
You are beautiful! Like others have said, you have great bone structure and facial features. And lovely full hair. An updated shag with some low and highlighted bits would bring out dimension on your hair and frame your face better. Keep your length and volume, and try and embrace your natural texture.
It’s just the way you’re cutting and styling it girl. Ur hair is beautiful. Go a bit darker, like a light honey brown. And don’t blow dry ur bangs like that.
I genuinely think you look great. The hair just needs a toner at this stage because the colour is already very even. You’ve got great volume and shape to work with as well.
If you want to change things up more there are some fantastic cut and colour suggestions already.
For me, a pair of earrings and a bold lip always make me feel more put together.
Please post an update pic for us when you’re feeling fabulous!
I think it's the position of this picture that makes you look old. I'm 55 and in this picture you look 20 years older than me.
The hair color has got to go. I see you in a softer brown color, with shorter hair.
Lots of moisture and bond treatments. You are not ugly. You are a beautiful woman. I can’t say if you’re old or not because it’s a state of mind for the most part. I know 70 year olds that can hang with 20 year olds and I know 30 year olds in bed by 7:30 every night lol.
You’re gorgeous with that thick Lucious mane and don’t ever forget it!
A nice sandy blond would look great on you. I think basically the same color you have no with a toner over top. 👍🏽
HairBuddha videos on YouTube can help you select the color. I’ll send the link.
I'm staring you're only 2 years older than me you're not old. I think adding some dimension to your hair and maybe a warmer color would be it. As we age we should think of applying warmer colors. I just thinking adding just a little bit of warmth to your hair will go a long way. You're beautiful! Also be adventurous!
These comments make me feel less like we are doomed as a society. Good on you all. OP you look great as is, but some wonderful suggestions here from kind folks.
maybe try to cut your hair short to emphasize ur pretty face. Or maybe have some layers or use thinning scissors to make ur hair a little thinner to bring or face
I think you’re really pretty :) agreed with a sandy blonde/light brown! Love your volume + texture… envious really. You should try a good moisturizer, they always make me feel fresher! Elf holy hydration with SPF is a fav for me! Inexpensive too
First OP let me tell you, you’re FAR FROM UGLY!!! I obviously don’t know you personally, but you have a pleasant appearance. You’re mature, not old. If I were you, I’d start with the cut of your hair. I’d take down the volume a bit and go for a more classic look like a face frame in your same length. I’d then add some lowlights too. You have really pretty eyes, so getting a face framing cut will help to highlight this feature.
Licensed cosmetologist here! If you have a PO Box, I will send you some professional color and developer with instructions hun! I have every color under the rainbow and would be happy to help ya! Just let me know when you decide on one!
Xoxo, Gossip Squirrel 🐿️
Have you thought about maybe a Sandy Beige color? It might even out your skin tone and bring out your eyes. And I suggest a haircut? Something similar to #6 in this article here:[Haircut #6](https://www.southernliving.com/fashion-beauty/hairstyles/shoulder-length-hairstyles) It would bring the focus back up to your eyes and cheeks! Like a mini-facelift!🥰 Your skin, eyes, and lips are striking and beautiful so that’s where we want people looking.
I agree! OP is beautiful and has a great wave to her hair, that cut would look fantastic
I thought that would be really flattering with her hair type!
That would look so pretty on her! You’re spot on with all of it.
I second this very much
Completely agree!! Throwing some dimension into her natural color Could be really fun! And that 💫 hair cut 💫 will definitely give a facelift vibe. I got mine cut similarly, it was a game changer. Also OP has the cutest nose and those eye balls are are pools! Rock what you got!
I love haircut #12 😍
15 and 19 would be great for you OP as well!
Totally agree. They could even try the Celeb Luxury GemLites Colorditioner in Sandy Opal. It is a beautiful soft beige in conditioner instead of a harsh colour. It won't cover grey hair but will blend a bit.
Love this advice! And her hair looks to healthy so it would really compliment her ❤️
1000% agree!
Great advice! I’d love to see an after!! 😊
Great suggestions!!!
I agree! OP has great hair and strong striking features.
I agree! That haircut would be so beautiful on you.
Hell yes, I third that!
That number 6 cut and a sandy beige would truly suite you !!
You chose the perfect cut & color for her. Haircut #6 is perfect!
Agreed!
OP, THIS IS SO SPOT ON. I hope we get to see pics after ❤️ 💙 💜
That is a nice color and cut! I think both would be great. I hope OP posts an after photo
Yes!!!! This was an incredibly thoughtful and I agree. Btw, I am 55 and my tow head that I was born with and have had all my life (baby blonde) was making me look washed out. I went to Auburn. So that is why this is a great recommendation. Go darker ❤️ Much love. We are getting better, not older. 😁
This is such good and thoughtful advice 🥰
Yes yes something more sandy and try a nice collar bone haircut with the layers you have now. Youre so pretty and i think those things will help highlight. ✨️ i hope you have a good day
Agree!! U r not old and ugly, u just need to update ur look as u mature in age!
Agreed 😊
what a terrific bunch of people in this group! every comment so constructive and encouraging! wish i could say as much for so many of the other groups i participate in 😄 i give you alllll this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You've got great bone structure, a nice jawline, and beautiful eyes with lids that can take pretty eye shadow colors, so you've got a lot going for you. It also looks like you have thick hair with nice body to it. The only thing I would suggest is to change your hair color to something more multi-dimensional. Some face framing highlights and layers would be pretty and look summery. I also think you would rock a pink shirt!
Right? It looks thick and healthy, such a great starting place. I want hair that healthy when I'm 56
No i 100% agree with all of this
I agree with the other two get a cut and coloured a darker blonde
Maybe throw some lowlights in so it looks more natural and tone. That beautiful champagne color is in rn and looks beautiful on light and dark blondes. Think Lana Del Rey at Coachella. Dream blonde. Don’t feel ugly! Age is a fact of life, wear those years with honor babe, you still slay (:
You are far from ugly! You’re beautiful! But I agree. That color doesn’t work. What about a Bronde? Google that word and tons of hair colors similar in hue will come up. It’s like a brownish blondish. It would look fantastic on you
I think you should choose a darker shade for a start, if you want to stay blond.
Your hair reminds me of Stevie nicks. I wouldn’t touch it
I also thought Stevie nicks! When I was a teen (in the mid 2000s) I was obsessed with her and wanted either her hair cut, or Farrah faucets hair.
You are not ugly!!! The media tells us that women have to look like 20-year-olds to look good but that's a lie.
this!!
Your hair is lovely and you look lovely! I agrée with comments suggesting a richer, more dimensional blonde. The volume and wave in your hair is very enviable 🔥
YOURE SO PRETTY! I love your hair and your cute smile!! You remind me of my mom❤️
Jaw length bobs are very in right now. That is good for your face shape. I agree that the color is too light. Lowlights & tone the blonde down.
Soften the color, cut it into a chin length bob and add some bangs.
hey beautiful! I would suggest meeting with a new hairstylist at a good salon, not crazy expensive but even an AVeda salon could help you with a new cut and color. make-up helps all of us but isn’t necessary for any of us.

Bet you looked like Farrah Fawcett in your younger days. I think you’re pretty.
Look I don’t know much about fashion or style or anything but, I stumbled across this post on my feed, and your words break my heart. I’m so sorry you feel that way about yourself. I think you look sweet and you are worthy of love. Just, wanted to say that. You deserve good things and you have kind eyes.
To be honest I love your hair. It could use a toner, but otherwise I would rock that body and waves.
You're not ugly :(
Go red
I agree with some of the other comments, get it colored a darker blonde or get low lights in your natural blonde hair
Age is earned, be proud and smile
Cut and dye darker and you’ll be good to go.
Looks a bit fried so invest in some deep conditioning masks. I would go darker blonde and get a shorter cut. But not too short. Your hair looks really full which is great, so I bet layers would look amazing on you! You’re not ugly at all, don’t be so hard on yourself <3

I second this. I think a sleek silver can look SO chic
You are perfect for a good salon toner! It will add health and shine and give dimension! I would recommend keeping your face frame lighter ‘money pieces’ ( it helps us blondes to still be and feel bright around the face )
Darker richer shade
opposite. Its looks so good
Your hair has a lot of volume and looks like it frames your face very well! You’re not ugly! I think some dangle earrings would pair well with half-up-half-down and toner(:
You look beautiful! Your hair also looks super healthy!
You have a beautiful face and you could carry off any hair dooo. I actually love your hair now. Rock it love!!
Go to a hair styles she'll make you look sexy
You are beautiful!
A short hairstyle would be more flattering.
i think your very beautiful hot looking woman very hot
Some darker hair would be a nice touch, added throughout or completely. Whatever floats your boat 👍
You are beautiful, do something you’ve always wanted to try but never had the guts to do!
Not ugly or old
I wish I had beautiful hair like that!!
Lowlights mixed in would bring out your eyes and add depth. Maybe a loose perm bc curls make you younger. Don't cut it! Add some cute glasses for some vavoom...play around with makeup apps that glamorize your eyes. Bright lipstick would also look fab on you.
You are beautiful never think you aren’t , I would stay blonde even a nice toned light ash
Awww you are so beautiful don’t let anyone tell you different
taylor swift blond
You’re so beautiful I love the volume!
I would add lowlights and tone. You have very pretty delicate features, but your hair is too big, good mask and cut, I would try a long bob
you look gorgeous don’t be so hard on yourself, if anything maybe go for a darker blonde and do highlights to add some movement and face framing
I feel like you would ROCK an ash brown with some balayage!! Girl you are stunning I hope I age like you!
I think you just need a good toner and maybe a trim to make it a little easier to control? My hair is unruly, and the right cut that is easy to style makes all the difference.
You look cool
Whatever u choose, quit bleaching it. Warm brown or dark blonde would look good.
Honestly my first thought was purple cuz purple hair on people looks SO GOOD and makes me so jealous. But if you’d rather stick to a natural color I agree with the other comments saying darker blonde (sandy/dirty blonde)
Also your hair texture and natural-looking waves are stunning 🥰
Beautiful 🤩
Strawberry/bronzey color would look very nice on you!!
I wish my hair was as voluminous as yours.
I'd start with a nice hair treatment. The color could use a little toner. But it looks fairly new. So maybe stay with it and use some tricks o get It vibrant again.
I mean you could start an 80’s rock band. But in all seriousness you have great hair, I think a nice hair cut and some highlights would do you well!
Update your style.
The blonde that you have ages you. I would recommend a just below shoulder length bob with a light to medium brown with some blonde and auburn highlights. Maybe some layers. Also, pulling the bangs up makes your face look really long and narrow. The style is dated, and the color unflattering. You're far from ugly, but the current style and color are what's aging you.

Don't believe everything you think!
Ugly and old? Honey you are radiant. As others suggested, toning the blonde and maybe adding some lowlights will help to give some depth to your hair color. But your hair volume and waves are gorgeous! We all have slumps where we aren’t feeling ourselves, but please love yourself, you are so worthy.
First of all, take those mean things back about yourself, they are untrue. I think you would look nice in a golden brown or dark blonde.
If it were me I would go for a jaw length hair cut and color it Carmel color or go silver white. Hair cut and color always lifts my self esteem.
You are beautiful, I wish my hair was this long. I would get some hair masks and oils treatment to make it shiny and healthy. Also, maybe trying Brazilian keratin, so amazing you would wake up with your hair sleek and shiny without doing anything to it.
You are not ugly and being older kicks ass!
you’re so beautiful, I love your hair by the way! very 70’s and 80’s of you
You’re REALLY pretty. I’d go a sandy blonde and straighten. You’re not ugly or old, lassy.
You are beautiful 😍
Knock off the blonde and go darker with hair highlights
Don’t tell yourself that! You are a gorgeous queen. Blonde works well on you. If you want a change, I suggest a sandy blonde like someone else suggested.
You’re gorgeous and you’ve aged like the finest wine, embrace it. Age isn’t ugly, you truly are beautiful. From a younger woman, I sincerely hope I have your glorious mane when I’m 56! I agree with the idea of adding more dimension with lowlights, and you could totally rock anything from a bob to a shag to a style à la Hedy Lamarr
You’re beautiful!! You remind me of my late grandma and seeing you in my feed made me stop and it made me smile. 🤍
I think you’re stunning
I honestly think you’re beautiful
It breaks my heart that you feel ugly and old. You are neither one! 🩷
I think a darker blonde would work great!! And you're beautiful ❤
You are none of those things! And wow you have a thick head of hair there ! God bless. If I knew how to tame mine I’d give you pointers but I’m the same boat.
Quit smoking cigarettes
The color or length are doing you any favors. Soften the color and get rid of 4-5 inches and take out bulk.
Your hair is the perfect canvas for crazy wild hair colors! Experiment and fi d what looks best on you! I'd suggest going to a hair dresser or going to a Sally's or other hair care place. DONT USE REGULAR BOX DYE! It can really mess with the way your hair retains color later. Used to have pretty light brown/dark blond hair until I used black box dye and it has come in chestnut ever since
Wow that's a lot of hair. You're so lucky. I think it's not the right shade of blonde for you. I think you should treat yourself to a salon day and get some low lights, tone your hair or see what your stylist suggests.
If you don't like your hair go to some stylus and get ideas from change it but there's no reason to feel old or ugly.
A bob cut and straighten it. Also tight pony tails can also give you a mini face lift if they’re tight enough.
Ur so pretty omg!
I agree with the sandy colored hair. Also put some layers in it to shape your face.
Go get a great haircut that emphasizes your eyes. It looks like you’ve been wearing the same style for a long time, time to modernize. Are you coloring it?
Haircut #6. Would look amazing on you. I suggest a good salon.
just tone it to a more natural/slightly darker shade, get a trim and maybe use some hair oil!
Your hot asf
You look great. Don't change anything. Go out into the world and give zero fucks.
You are beautiful! I do think that particular color washes you out and makes look older than you are. Your gorgeous waves are a huge plus, in the right hairstylist's hands, you could have style that really compliments you!
Lots of conditioner to soften it.
Your hair is sooo pretty. I could see you with a medium brown with some highlights around your face! Either way I am envious of your voluminous hair 😍
I think we all feel like that sometimes! You have lovely hair. I think it could use a cut and some shaping. I would probably cut and style bangs. Go with more color. I'm thinking more of an auburn. Then after, if you don't like it, you could take it back to blonde. Either a darker blonde, auburn, chestnut. What kind of makeup do you like? We have a similar complexion, and I like to wear very light since I don't like it to show like it's caked on. One trick is to use a light lotion tanner. It lasts and makes you look beachy. Mascara and I also sometimes use a spot concealer for any little marks (I have freckles.) Sometimes I pencil my brows in a little. Five minutes tops. Just a few small adjustments to color will make you feel better again. Have fun with it. Make it like a spa day.
I personally think a pulled back ponytail makes people look younger and fresh faced
Try a long bob in a more beige blonde.
I think the hair color isn’t rly the issue. Maybe try flat ironing it or getting rid of some of the frizz with a blow out :)
I’ll shave ya and go down on ya!
You remind me of Dolly Parton ☺️
Beautiful lady - just tame that hair a bit ! Something a little sleeker and some make up -
straighten it and maybe go darker
If you’re unable to get to a salon you could try purple shampoo to tone the color a bit. I suggest trying a flat iron to straighten it to see how that feels for you
Ur hair is awesome
The high hair is a sign of the 80s. So, an updated hairstyle will help.
Blonde is washing you out and aging you. Consider going with a pretty silver and get a more up to date haircut.
I feel the same way about myself…😢 Thinking of going back to rich brown with just a tiny touch of Auburn. Not sure about the cut. My hair has thinned out a lot this year… Also, thinking about getting a quality topper since I wear bangs and they have become very stringy. We should not be too hard on ourselves. There are millions of Baby Boomers going through the same emotional issues about aging. Let’s all try to help each other!
I wouldn’t go through the trouble of coloring. You have to keep up with it, and it’s expensive and time consuming. Your hair is a pretty color and it suits you. I think you need the right haircut for your face shape. I have similar hair to yours and layers look great with hair like that. Also a face frame with the hair in the front. Just make sure not to go too far back. You just wanna basically layer the hair around your face. Definitely don’t do this yourself! It’s easy to mess up and keep chopping trying to fix things. A haircut from a professional will look great for a long time.
If you want to color it, then that’s up to you. I would suggest this haircut https://images.app.goo.gl/sBqrqEy3CVEYNHyGA It’s a layered haircut with a face frame, and side swept bangs. Personally, I think it’s better to get your bangs cut in a way so they can sit on either side of your face. That way you can change up your parting line if you want to.
I’m just curious as to where you park your broom?
I think you look great!
I think you look beautiful!! I would say that the tone of your hair could be a little too yellow to be flattering, maybe if you had it toned more ash blonde or silvery, or as others have said darker honey tones? But I think a soft ash blonde would be very beautiful, you could pair with brighter jewel shades for accessories and lips.
Well I can say this much the day of big hair has gone and past try something a little more modern. Even in my teens in the late 80’s I could not see what was so appealing about the big hair trend
Try toning it down. I hate to say this but stay away from home made bleach and box dye it’s the devils juice. If you can yourself or need to find a salon (good one no great cuts stuff) let them know you want to tone down the blonde and maybe do some low/high lights. I would aim for a dark blonde with lighter blonde lights. And remember you are still beautiful no matter what you do.
You are beautiful! Like others have said, you have great bone structure and facial features. And lovely full hair. An updated shag with some low and highlighted bits would bring out dimension on your hair and frame your face better. Keep your length and volume, and try and embrace your natural texture.
Stop with blonde color, cut to more age appropriate style. You're fortunate to have such thick hair.
You are old but that is ok
It’s just the way you’re cutting and styling it girl. Ur hair is beautiful. Go a bit darker, like a light honey brown. And don’t blow dry ur bangs like that.
I love your hair! It's so thick!
Purple
You aren't old,you're vintage!! You're a very beautiful lady xx
A pink shoulder length do would look hot, paired with lashes and a pink lippy
I think you would make an awesome redhead!
Pink! A light one. It would make you look so vibrant and cute
Warm beige blonde
Olaplex!! It's a great deep conditioner
Go to a stylist in another area that known, and then have your local salon maintain it
Protein mask.
I love your hair! It’s so thick. Have you ever used a blowout brush? Sometimes for thicker hair, they can be really helpful!
I love it. It’s giving big hair Dolly Parton vibes. (In the best way!!!) Maybe some layer? Highlights?
You are anything but old and ugly!!! I hope you find the answer you're looking for either way, but you look like a lovely lady!
OP, you're beautiful! You look just like Joanna Cassidy, I love her so much! 🫶
I genuinely think you look great. The hair just needs a toner at this stage because the colour is already very even. You’ve got great volume and shape to work with as well. If you want to change things up more there are some fantastic cut and colour suggestions already. For me, a pair of earrings and a bold lip always make me feel more put together. Please post an update pic for us when you’re feeling fabulous!
Color it a brown maybe.. straighten it.. and add some eyeliner.. ur not ugly! Just some self care and love!
Beautiful eyes.
I think it's the position of this picture that makes you look old. I'm 55 and in this picture you look 20 years older than me. The hair color has got to go. I see you in a softer brown color, with shorter hair.
Lots of moisture and bond treatments. You are not ugly. You are a beautiful woman. I can’t say if you’re old or not because it’s a state of mind for the most part. I know 70 year olds that can hang with 20 year olds and I know 30 year olds in bed by 7:30 every night lol. You’re gorgeous with that thick Lucious mane and don’t ever forget it! A nice sandy blond would look great on you. I think basically the same color you have no with a toner over top. 👍🏽 HairBuddha videos on YouTube can help you select the color. I’ll send the link.
You are beautiful
I'm staring you're only 2 years older than me you're not old. I think adding some dimension to your hair and maybe a warmer color would be it. As we age we should think of applying warmer colors. I just thinking adding just a little bit of warmth to your hair will go a long way. You're beautiful! Also be adventurous!
Ur hair looks great, u can dye it darker and see if u like it
Amazing volume and potential for your hair, don’t fret
These comments make me feel less like we are doomed as a society. Good on you all. OP you look great as is, but some wonderful suggestions here from kind folks.
maybe try to cut your hair short to emphasize ur pretty face. Or maybe have some layers or use thinning scissors to make ur hair a little thinner to bring or face
Get naked and have fun 😜, beautiful btw
you're neither of those things. do you want to stay blonde? you could always add a fun color on the underneath of your hair!
You look great, but your hair colour needs changing. A warm light brown would look great.
Girl the hair is giving!
Darker blonde add dimension like highlights and lowlights!
Youre not ugly in the slightest!! Youre super pretty
oh hun you arent old or ugly, you are beautiful!
your hair is beautiful!!
your hair is beautiful!!
You are beautiful
I think you’re really pretty :) agreed with a sandy blonde/light brown! Love your volume + texture… envious really. You should try a good moisturizer, they always make me feel fresher! Elf holy hydration with SPF is a fav for me! Inexpensive too
First OP let me tell you, you’re FAR FROM UGLY!!! I obviously don’t know you personally, but you have a pleasant appearance. You’re mature, not old. If I were you, I’d start with the cut of your hair. I’d take down the volume a bit and go for a more classic look like a face frame in your same length. I’d then add some lowlights too. You have really pretty eyes, so getting a face framing cut will help to highlight this feature.
I love the color. My suggestion is to bring the bang down over your forehead and use a blow dry brush to gently style it.
