Nicolas Waldorf Challenges Hair Rules for Women Over 50

Bad haircuts should be stopped before the damage is finished, according to television hairstylist Nicolas Waldorf on grazia.fr.

“Your hair restorer has studied hairdressing, so he is supposed to know what he is going to do,” Waldorf told the morning show Bonjour ! sur TF1 on Thursday, November 5.

“It is better to say stop. There is nothing worse than being a victim and witness to the carnage,” he said.

Waldorf appeared on the program to discuss professional errors and to challenge outdated style rules regarding mature women.

The notion that women over fifty must cut their hair short belongs in the past, Waldorf argued on Thursday, November 5, according to grazia.fr.

“In the 1980s, women from 50 years old cut their hair short,” Waldorf told grazia.fr.

“Today, personalities like Céline Dion or Jennifer Lopez show that long hair can also be worn after 60 years,” he said.

Long locks require more maintenance past youth, he noted.

“Hair below the shoulder, at 20 it’s nice, at 30 it must be shaped and from 40, you really have to be very well coiffed all the time to put all the potential on your side,” Waldorf told grazia.fr.

Length and tips tend to dry out and grow fragile over time, requiring consistent moisture routines.

Cold winter weather, wind, and friction against clothing increase dryness during colder months.

Hair care routines should include applying conditioner after every shampoo and using a nourishing mask once a week, according to grazia.fr.

Stylists recommend protecting strands from heat before using blow-dryers or flat irons, and detangling gently from the ends upward to minimize breakage.
