Hey I am looking for ways to help my mom look a few years younger. She is 40 years old and wants a new hairstyle (I am also working on her wardrobe). She has a rather long face and has always had short blonde hair. She has had the same hairstyle for so long I call it the "bubble head" (we make fun of each other a lot...). She also has bright blue eyes and thin "flat" hair. Can anyone suggest a really awesome hairstyle that will make her feel younger and spent less time applying hairspray? She has tried going to different expensive salons and has no success. Please help!

Add some lowlights and a little body to the top. Cut it just past the shoulder and add a little fray on the end with a razor blade. Make sure the sides are far enough away from her head that the top does not lengthen her face. Have her makeup look very Cali with very little fake color, but a nice tan. With a cute black top and some khaki pants, she's gonna look like a million bucks.

Long faces look best in about chin length, layered hair, with a side diagonal part, and sweeping bangs.
I researched it because I have a long face too
Too short or too long looks bad. Bangs and a side part help shorten the face. Face framing layers are best, that vary in length from cheekbone to chin.
Try going to www.myheritage.com there is a spot where you can put in a pic, and it will analyze it and tell you which celebs you look the most like. You can do that with your moms pic, and then you can look at their haircuts and what looks good on people with similar faces. Its also totally free. Skip the page that comes up with offers, you dont have to complete any. Have fun!

its hard to tell without seeing at least a picture. but it sounds like what you are describing is what we hairdressers call 'helmet head.' if this is the case, try substituting the hairspray with a mousse or a gel (something to dirty and thicken up the 'thinning, flat hair') blow dry upside down and applying a little bit of spray at the end. this will give her a less 'fixed' look that is more youthful.

well you could start on a perm on her roots to give body. Throwing in brown/red lowlights accents. That should do it! Also if her hair is flat then have them do a "razer cut" with her bangs as a lead. It will look cute!!!

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO IS TO GET A STYLIST. THEY CAN AID IN APPEARANCE AS WELL AS WARDROBE. WITHOUT SPENDING A SMALL FORTUNE YOU MAY SEEK TO HAVE A PRODUCER OF A FAMOUS TV SHOW WHERE GIVE MAKEOVERS GIVE ONE FOR YOUR MOM.
