Is it true that when you get older it is best to have pale / soft hair colour ?

That really .
Been copper/ red or aurburn all adult life
Hairdresser said it was looking harsh and needed to go softer
I'm 50 with cool colouring and blue eyes with blond brows - was white blond as a child
Most people agree that the blond with a natural base is soft but a lot of them also say the red is ' me '
Some days I miss the red but on others I recall that I felt a bit mad with red hair at my age and a but student y / trying to hang on to my lost youth !
I feel confused !
What I do feel is that my eyes look brighter with the old red due to contrast whereas with the blond they too look softer ie less noticeable .
Any advice Wd be really welcome . Thanks .

My hair won't grow past my shoulders. Never has.
I could get a wig I suppose.

You can achieve one if you have long layers on too ?
You can pin the short bits into the nape of yr neck .
Then back comb top , very very much ! Smooth , build shape . Twist and pin . Wish I cd have a go fior u 😄

Thanks gin

However my hair's pretty short - think bottom of the ear length! It suits me as it brings out my cheekbones. I probably would suit longer hair too if I wore it up but there's no way I could face growing it. I've tried so many times that I've now instructed my hairdresser to refuse if I ever say I want to do it again.

Cheekbones are a wonderful thing ! I have good uns too !
