This Hair Color Faux Pas Could Make You Look Older

During a previous appointment, Johnny made a comment that I couldn't stop thinking about. It was after I took out my extensions and cut several inches off my hair, transforming it into a bob. I told him now that my hair was shorter, I wanted to go super blonde to help offset the sadness I had after losing the length.

His response was quick and blunt: "It's going to look like sh*t. It won't have contrast, and it's going to make you look older."

That last sentence haunted me. Johnny later explained what he meant: "Let’s say you’re walking down the street and someone's hair looks over-processed. You automatically think it’s an older woman. Then the woman turns around and she’s really young. If the hair looks tired, so does the person. You just expect the person to look tired, as well."
