I’m always touched when I receive a heartfelt beauty question that’s actually genuine, instead of pompous. Read on, and you’ll see why I jumped at the chance to help Beverly H., a mature GlamBlush fan with her urgent hair dilemma:

“I am over 60, graying, have a pale pink complexion, green eyes, short hair. Desperately need some help. Should I be coloring my hair? What about lengthening it with extensions?”

I enlisted one of my favorite hair know-it-all’s, Shane M. of the Chris Chase Salon here in Manhattan. Here’s what he had to say:

“Coloring your hair is a great way to make yourself look and feel a little younger. I think you would look incredible as warm blonde, golden blonde, or even a very light coppery blonde. Be careful with strawberry blonde - some strawberry tones have too much pink in them and that will make you look monotone and washed-out.

Hair extensions are fun for a while, but they require maintenance, and on fine or medium-fine hair, extensions easily and quickly slip away from the root. I am not a fan of them on most women unless they are willing to spend extra time and really care for them, keep them up, which could get expensive. A new color might make you think twice – it could be just the change you are looking for!”
