mum is 59
she has lovely blondey ginger hair, its been getting lighter as she gets older (naturally)
when she was a teen/early 20s it was jackie bird style ginger (but hse loved it and suited it)
anyway
she came to visit at the weekend
she has had it DYED almost blood/pillarbox red, grown it into a bob (chinlength) and bought a whole new palette of make up
i almost died
she looks awful
she is bit overweight, has no chin and the bob looks wrong. the colour drains it all out of her face and she is wearing strong colour lipstick which is wrong too. she is v pale with v v v v pale blue eyes
imo hair should get lighter as you get older - i really liked her blondey hair and curls
she also has a bald path on her crown (slightly bigger than a 50p piece - its from stress her dr says and im not surprised tbh) and now her hair is dark the patch is very noticable
i wan to tell her but i know she will get upset
