In adulthood, many women refuse long hair. Firstly, short hair is comfortable to wear and care for; secondly, with age, the quality of hair begins to deteriorate. It's not just about gray hair, which in reality may not be long enough. Many women's hair becomes porous, brittle, loses its shine and looks dull after the age of 50. Long hair in this state never looks beautiful.
53 year old model Helena Christensen, who recently appeared in an advertising campaign for Tamara Mellon, a few days ago again reminded of myself. In her Instagram account (the network is banned in the Russian Federation), she demonstrated how she gets rid of long, but poor quality hair.
If you look at the images of Helena in her younger years, it should be noted that nature rewarded her with an enviable mop of dark and heavy hair. This is especially noticeable in short haircuts, which are well designed, so they look voluminous without additional tricks with styling.
But when the hair becomes long, they are not always able to maintain their former beauty. This applies to women in adulthood, and everyone else who regularly resorts to coloring and exposure to the sun. Such hair, alas, often looks like a dull "washcloth" or lifeless cut "icicles". And the longer they are, the worse the quality.
Christensen was photographed first from behind, showing her hair "in all its glory", then showed that she intended to cut it off, and then the result of the haircut. Did Helena become less beautiful and feminine in her years with a wavy bob? Of course no.
But many women at any age are afraid to get rid of the length. Indeed, everywhere adherents of traditional female images repeat that in long hair there is strength and femininity, but with short ones “like a man” (this was written about Scarlett Johansson, who made short haircut).
Many examples prove that long hair is not always beautiful, no matter what fans of Slavic blond braids and curls fluttering in the wind say about it. These are just beautiful images that are problematic to maintain in real life.
