A professional hairdresser reveals the secrets of a youthful appearance and points out hairstyles that can unconsciously contribute to your older appearance. Hairstyles are like a time machine: the right ones erase years, while the wrong ones mercilessly add them. Rejuvenate your look with these simple tricks.
Every visit to the hairdresser brings a new opportunity for a makeover or, in the worst case, to add unwanted years to your appearance. While beauty is timeless and age is just a number, there are certain style mistakes that can unintentionally age your face. Here are some hairstyling tips that may be wise to consider.
1. Loyalty to one style through the decades
Time is also merciless to your hair. If you've been loyal to the same hairstyle for a decade, it might be time for a refresh. Changes in hair structure and facial contours call for a new style that will emphasize your natural beauty and bring freshness to your appearance.
2. Length without dialogue
Long hair that floats aimlessly below your shoulders can act as a heavy burden on your face. Playing with lengths that range from just above the shoulders to well below them can create a more youthful and energetic look.
3. Infrequent visits to the hairdresser
Regular visits to the hair salon are not only a time for chatting, but also essential for maintaining healthy and vibrant hair. Avoid long breaks between haircuts, as split ends and a neglected look are not flattering on anyone.
4. Monotony of colors
A uniform hair color can unintentionally add years to your face. Exploring the world of highlights and color gradients can conjure depth and dimension that bring freshness and youth to your look.
5. Care for care
Neglected hair quickly reveals your age. Investing in quality hair care, such as moisturizing and nourishing products, is the foundation for shiny, healthy hair. Don't forget the protection against heat styling, which restores the hair's vitality.
6. Cross in the middle: Yes or no?
A bar that unwaveringly divides your face into two equal parts can mercilessly expose every wrinkle. Choosing a slightly offset crossbar can create softer lines that flatter your face.
7. Curls as from the template
Perfectly styled curls can look dated and give the impression of a strict look. Natural waves and slightly unfinished curls are the recipe for a carefree and youthful look.
8. Frufru: Yes or no?
A bold decision for bangs can emphasize your eyes and facial lines, but caution is not superfluous. Make sure you choose a style that complements your features harmoniously and doesn't highlight unwanted creases.
9. Eyebrows: Frame your face
Don't underestimate the power of well-shaped eyebrows that frame your face. Properly shaped eyebrows can add definition and freshness to your face, which carries over to your overall look.
The right hairstyle can be yours best friend or worst enemy when it comes to looking your age. By following these stylistic tips and having a dialogue with your hairdresser, you can choose a hairstyle that will take years off your look, not add them.
