Inspired by an angel: though Farrah Fawcett’s legendary mane was much imitated, once she’d ridden that wave, she moved on. So should we.

If you haven’t updated your hairdo in the past 5 years, it’s time. It’s really time. Nothing dates someone faster than a hairstyle which is outdated. It’s a crime of which many of us are guilty – both gals and guys! Think about it. If your look is seriously out-of-style, someone might think that that’s reflective of your general mindset – that you along with your hair-do are still stuck back in the 80’s (for instance).

When we’re young, in the prime of our lives, somehow, it seems easier to keep current. But as life and its many priorities weigh down upon us, other things bid for our attention. Some people feel more secure surrounded by a look that reflects a time when they were young and attractive and life was carefree. But time and bodies have a way of marching on. What was flattering to you in high school or college, simply won’t continue to be as hair thins, recedes, fades, grays, etc. – I think you get the picture.

So take a cue from Farrah, a lady whose beauty and style continued to evolve long past her glory days as one of Charlie’s Angels. If what I’ve related here hits home, think about an updated do. If you don’t feel your regular stylist is up to the task, look around – literally. If you know or see someone with a great look, ask them who styles their hair. When you watch TV, pay attention to looks you like on actors, newscasters and hosts who are about your age. It’s their business to look good. (Of course, you’ll want to except styles worn by actors who are preparing for period or character roles.)

Consult someone younger – even a teenager, if you have one in your circle. You might be surprised at their insight. You’ll have to trust that just because they might be wearing hair color that looks influenced by an artist’s color wheel, doesn’t mean that they’ll suggest that for you.
