Hairstyles That Can Make Any Woman Look Years Younger

Experimenting with new haircuts and styles can be a blast at any age, but as we get older it becomes even more important to find a cut that flatters (and even better if it knocks some years off). Finding a new style depends on a few different factors: your facial structure, the texture of your hair, and the amount of time you're willing to spend on it. But other than that, it's all about trying new looks and finding one that you love! Take a look at these ideas and give one of the youthful hairstyles a try.

A Short Wedge Is So Versatile

"The Bob" came into fashion for women in the 1920s with the advent of the “flapper” craze. Young, liberated women loved the controversial style as it represented their changing philosophy on personal expression and freedom of choice.

But bobs are not just for the kids! A bob can help accentuate your best facial features as well as save time spent messing with your hair when you first get up in the morning.

A well-done close-cropped hairstyle is great if you are super active and just want a "get up and go" option. And if you have the much-coveted curls, then it's even better. There was a time when society may have deemed a short cut on a woman as blasphemous or unladylike, but luckily those days are long gone.

Everyone can benefit from the flattering effects that showing off your face and head shape can create.

This photo is a great example of the impact hair color can have on a cut. This adorable short style would look great on many women in a variety of age groups, but the elegant silver color really makes it stand out from the crowd.

One problem that silver-tressed people run into is yellowing. If you see any yellow tints coming out in your hair, use a special purple shampoo. First, get your hair wet, then apply the shampoo. Leave it in for the time recommended on the bottle (usually somewhere from 5 to 30 minutes), then rinse it out.

Although most of us have heard that long hair is an absolute no-no for women of a certain age, that's simply not true for everyone! In fact, some people have a face shape that looks great with a longer style framing it.

ADVERTISEMENT

A fuller face shape is more likely to look good with long hair at any age. This is because the length of the hair draws the eye down, which in turn will make the face appear to be longer and thinner. If you have thick hair and a full face, you might want to give this a try.

Women who find that they look good with longer hair have the added benefit of being able to wear it up when they feel like it. And a chignon is an elegant style no matter your age.

ADVERTISEMENT

After using a styling product and drying your hair, pull it all back into a ponytail at the nape of the neck and secure with a hair tie. Then backcomb the ponytail from the ends until it looks full. Spritz on some hairspray, gently roll the hair under, and tuck it into the base of the ponytail. Secure it with hairpins and ta-da!
