Has Sarah Jessica Parker just started a new trend for the over 50s?
Celebrity hair stylist Louis Byrne has also noted a change. "There has definitely been a shift in attitude towards the unsaid over-50s hair rules. People want to feel unique and embrace themselves, and the idea that you cant have grey hair or wear your natural texture applies way to much pressure and is really outdated. "It is so important to understand your hair and how it changes as we age," he notes. "For me the condition and shine are important, and this teamed with a haircut that really works with your hair is a winning combination. When we age our hair changes in many different ways including the texture, colour, density and shine, so it's necessary to embrace the changes, adapt and make the best out of what you have." Byrne's top tip for getting to know your hair before making a style change is to wash your hair and let it dry naturally once a week; letting it air dry means youll be able to see its natural texture. You can then get advice from your hairdresser as to what style will best suit your texture. "For women 50 and over, looking for a style update, I would recommend really getting to know your hair in this new phase of life, understand your texture and look at the colour. You may want to opt for a more natural route, you may want to go a little wild with it - whatever the case I say go for it. Hair is very emotive thing, embrace it."
