5 hairstyles that increase age after 40 years

Youth is the time of daring experiments with trendy hairstyles and striking shades, and adulthood is the time of elegance with noble simplicity and understated style. In order to be able to move from one category to another without pain after the age of forty, it is important to follow a number of important rules, including the right hairstyle.

If it’s too difficult to choose a refreshing look on your own, you should first think of a few hairstyles that are best avoided if possible. And here are 5 such failed examples:

Often women are thrown from one extreme to another: thick, even bangs or their absence. The first option, especially in combination with a classic bob, makes the look heavier and emphasizes age-related changes. Meanwhile, hairstyles without bangs reveal the forehead, which should be avoided if you have facial wrinkles. Alternatively, you can cut side-swept, choppy or curtain bangs that frame your face beautifully.

Hair length also matters. For Russian women who have crossed the threshold of forty years, professionals advise to abandon long curls so as not to draw attention to age-related problems: dryness, brittleness, lack of shine. The best choice in this situation was considered haircuts up to the jawline (for example, a shortened version of the “ladder”). However, it is important not to overdo it and not to experiment with boyish hairstyles – they emphasize all the flaws in appearance.

They also advise avoiding the session hairstyle, which, due to its symmetrical shape, gives extra years to even young girls, not to mention older women.
