Gloria Asks:

I am 54 and an African American woman. My hair is salt ’n pepper and I wear it naturally, no chemicals/perms, cut short. I’d like some advice on how else to wear my hair at this time.

Lisa’s Answer:

Hi Gloria, why not try a real short crop?

Short hair is really in this season, and with your hair type this would be ideal. If you’re feeling really daring then maybe have a relaxer on your hair, just to enable your hair to lie closer to your head. A natural gloss colour would then finish your look perfectly.
