This is what 42 is supposed to look like. Neat, safe and quiet. Hair that doesn’t ask questions. A version that blends in, tones down, and doesn’t take up too much space. And there’s nothing wrong with this look, unless it’s not you 🤷‍♀️ I realized a long time ago that when we try to fit into what’s expected of us, we slowly dim parts of ourselves without even noticing. Joy gets labeled as “too much.” Playfulness becomes “immature.” Self-expression turns into something we’re told to outgrow. I didn’t grow out of it. I grew into myself. This is my reminder that aging doesn’t mean shrinking. It means choosing. And I choose joy, creativity, and self-expression at 42 and always ✨ #hairstyle #hairtutorial #lifeat42 #holidayhairstyle
