While age shouldn’t be a factor in hair styling, it’s important to note that our hair does change as we age. Hairstylist Carlyn Griscti of Beauty Supply in New York explains that over time, hair becomes thicker and drier.

You may also want to consider what we consider the perfect default hair cut length: medium-length hair.
Celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble describes medium-length hair as any hairstyle that’s a lob in length and just past the shoulders, and it has a lot of benefits. If you’re looking for something minimal, you don’t have to deal with the major maintenance issues that come with extra long cords, and you don’t have to worry about giving up length if you don’t want to go short.
