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!

Stacked And Layered: Perfect!

This gently stacked and layered bob looks great with some added highlights and lowlights. The layers also allow the wearer to add some height with a little teasing for additional elegance. Having your hair cropped up higher is also a nice way to show off the elegant lines of your neck and shoulders and stay cool in the warmer summer months.

Many women who kept their long tresses for a lifetime often never return once they experience the style and convenience of "bob-life."

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.

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!

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.
