Big Hair Don’t Care? Fullness is Back, But Ditch the 80s Ladies, Please!

Big Hair Don’t Care? Fullness is Back, But Ditch the 80s Ladies, Please!

Big hair, don’t care? Well it is time you entered the new millennium, which happens to be 14 years in. While fullness has returned as the current hair trend, it really is time to ditch the 80s ladies, please!

I recently spotted three women over 40 with big 80s hair, as I made my annual trek to the San Gennaro Feast in Little Italy this week. I was able to photograph the attached during a disappointing meal, sadly because I was so looking forward to it. But with all of the great restaurants in the area of my grandparents’ youth, there are plenty more to choose from.

I don’t want to hair shame the woman for big hair, so I blurred her face and surroundings. But, I do want to help women over 40 look and feel beautiful inside and out, and that hair has to go.

Big hair of the 80s looked silly, no matter how much we might think differently. I had it, I looked ridiculous however, I also change my look with the times. Nothing ages a woman more than to be stuck in the decade of her youth, it dates you and in turn makes you look old. Just because it looked good (so you think) when you were 16, it doesn’t look good at 45.

Big Hair: Ditch the 80s Hair!

Yesterday I also spotted a grandmother rocking a Bon Jovi do, and by rocking it I mean not, and another woman, mid-40s or so, strolling through China Town with a brunette version of a Dynasty do. All three ladies were attractive, but the hair added 10 years easy! Step into 2014 with a current hairstyle; ditch the big hair and take years off. Seriously, try it!
