The Golden Girls Glow-Up: How a Hair Change Can Rewrite the Rules on Ageing

My friend sent me the image, the iconic Golden Girls, reimagined with modern hairstyles and I could not get over the difference.

Same outfits. Same smiles. Same women.

But just by changing the hair… they looked 20 years younger.

And it wasn’t Botox, contour, or filters. It was just the hair.

It got me thinking: if something as simple as your hairstyle can shift how you feel, how you walk into a room, and even how the world sees you… Then why are so many women still playing it safe?

Time for a Reality Check

If you're in your golden years, let me ask you this:

Are you sitting in the salon chair saying "just the usual" — not because you love it, but because you're scared to try something new?

Are you still holding onto that old belief: 

❌ “Women over 50 should keep their hair short”? 

❌ “Bold colours or long hair aren't for me anymore”? 

❌ “Extensions, waves, balayage... that’s for the younger crowd”?

Who told us that we had to fade out with age instead of light up?

Adding a few tapes can instantly make your hair look and feel fuller.

What If You Gave Yourself Permission To...

🌟 Have soft, swooshing beach waves — at 70. 

🌟 Add colour and dimension that lights up your skin. 

🌟 Try that fringe, or layered bob, or face-framing highlights you keep saving to Pinterest. 

🌟 Look in the mirror and say, “Damn, girl. You look GOOD.”

Because you’re not “too old.” You’re just too powerful to be stuck with a hairstyle that doesn’t match your spark anymore.

At Simply Hair, We Don't Do 'Safe and Silent'

We don’t gaslight your dreams with “that’s not for your age.” We go deeper with consultation questions that honour your lifestyle, goals, confidence and story.

We believe in empowerment through hair. And if no one’s told you this lately:

✨ You’re not too old for soft waves. 

✨ You’re not too late for a refresh. 

✨ You’re not too much for the right stylist.

Let’s Start a New Kind of Conversation

The next time your stylist says: “What are we doing today?” Instead of defaulting to what’s familiar, try asking: “What would you love to see on me?”

Your stylist is dying for you to say anything but “just the usual.” Trust me.

Ask how to style it. Ask how to get that wave. Ask how to make it last. Because hair isn't just maintenance, it’s magic.

Ready to Press Refresh?

There’s no expiry date on feeling amazing. If you're ready to stop blending in and start lighting up the room, your stylist is ready too.

If you’ve been playing it safe, and you’re ready to explore what more could look like, we’d love to start with a conversation.
