Hairdressing experts have several tricks to flatter our face while creating trendy and stylish haircuts.
Here are the three hairstyles to avoid to keep yourself looking older.
1) The long thick bangs
This fringe, considered daring, is by no means an advantage for slightly older women. Experts agree that it draws attention to fine lines, especially around the eyes, rather than beautifully framing the face or accentuating the cheekbones. Thick bangs that go beyond the eyebrows are to be avoided at all costs.
The suggested alternative: the curtain fringe
Know that the curtain fringe is a super interesting option in addition to being super trendy. We see it more and more often and not without reason. It flatters every body shape while looking away from the signs of aging. By framing the face, these bangs will automatically make you look younger. When it goes down to the cheeks, it even slims the face.
2) The too punk pixie cut
As the years go by, the more you need to avoid a pixie cut looking spiky on the top of your head. Strands that are too sharp expose the scalp and thus underline the thinning of the hair.
The suggested alternative: the pixie cut with side bangs
The pixie cut will look interesting when paired with side bangs. It’s true that shortcuts accentuate the eyes… so why do without it? Just add some side bangs and twirl the cut around the head to add body and volume.
3) A bob that is too long and too square
As we age, hair gets thinner and thinner… and it shows. Because of this, shorter haircuts can help us look younger as they appear to thicken our hair. It is therefore necessary to avoid too angular bobs and below the shoulders.
The suggested alternative: a shorter, moveable bob
Bobs that fall halfway down the nape of the neck and past the shoulders soften our facial features, especially when they add texture and movement. Besides a modern look, an asymmetrical bob can also be an interesting option.
