Any suggestions for my hair?

[Primrosehillgirl]

Hi , I am looking for suggestions on my hair.
I love to wear it styled and curled when the hairdresser does it but it never lasted. This is how I wear it when I style it myself. I am in my mid 50"s and I don't want to cut it too short.

Surprised how many people are suggesting a bob, they are really popular on here it seems.

You have beautiful hair op and look stunning ( even with the squiggles).

I would avoid a bob , you could grow it a few inches longer. Colour wise I wouldn't change thing , shiny dark hair is the holy grail imo.

I can't believe that you are in your 50's , my hair is so frazzled ( I'm a similar age).

Longer fringe/layers at the front. I am jealous of your thick shiny hair tbh op!

It's lovely thick healthy hair. I wouldn't do a lot, but some highlights might look good. The fringe is maybe a bit short - if you had it longer it would be more versatile and you could sweep it to one side if you wanted a change. Avoid centre partings - very unflattering on most faces, and don't cut it too short, you need to show this hair off!

You have nice hair I like the way you styled it. But maybe heated hair rollers and a setting lotion will help hold curl. My hair won't hold a curl unless I put heated curlers on with my hair still slightly damp.

Is this a look how fabulous I look post OP, with my shiny , thick hair and glowing skin ?

You do have gorgeous hair @Primrosehillgirl .
A few curls would look lovely , I definitely wouldn't cut it.

Rubbish

Your hair is in great condition for someone in their 50's OP, may I ask what products you use?
Mine has really suffered since the menopause.

Conditioner
I use this range from Orbie , my apologies I'm not sure how to do this in one post.

They are on the more expensive end but my hair definitely benefits.

This are way out of my budget OP, I didn't even realize shampoo could cost that much 😳.
Your hair looks amazing though.

I’d not do anything radical as it looks thick, in good condition and is a very versatile . Maybe some very subtle caramel highlights as suggested and a few layers around the face. If a centre parting would suit you that could be nice.

I would kill for your hair! Mine is like floaty cotton wool 😫
A few caramel highlights round the front, more of a sweeping fringe and you're done. Perfect!
