Dilemma
Deb has just turned 50 and has doubts about her hair. Is it too long for her age? Are her blonde highlights draining? Is her hair dry and brittle because of the constant colouring? It is naturally very dark brown, but is peppered with grey, which is why she dyes most of it blonde. It is fine, with a slight wave.
Solution
Deb’s colour is great: her grey is completely covered and her highlights warm her complexion perfectly. However, the constant dying process has made her hair dry and brittle. Peroxide strips the follicles of moisture so Deb needs to restore and nourish her hair. PhytoNectar shampoo and PhytoKarite mask used regularly will restore moisture and vitality to her hair. PhytoKarite serum — which she can use as a styling product — will also help to protect her hair from the elements.
Deb is right that the length is too long. What she needs is a soft, unstructured bob that will lift her features, not drain them. I would suggest that she have lots of choppy layers cut into this new style, so that some of the movement is maintained. A useful tip if you want your hair to have a great shape but not be overstyled is to have it cut with a razor, which is what I would suggest for Deb. Razored ends are very versatile and can be blow-dried with a round brow for something chic, or kept rough and messy for a more natural finish. Deb would suit either, so she should take time to learn the potential of her new cut.
