When we know that a few scissor cuts can easily make us lose years and a bad cut give us 10 more years, we think it would be a shame to deprive ourselves of the advice of a specialist in the field to make (finally) the right choices.
Listen to your desires and observe your face
To look younger, choosing the right haircut is important and must take into account the overall look, the shape of the face and especially the quality of the hair. Because with age, the density of hair decreases, the pros often advise to shorten the lengths. But cutting doesn’t mean cutting everything. Sometimes just 10 cm less makes all the difference.
If the hair has a beautiful volume and a material that is still young, it is possible to keep hair below the shoulders after 40 years, or even 50. However, it is important not to have to tie it up all the time. Many are the followers of the bun, which camouflages too thin lengths. Of course, it has a lot of class, but it is also the symbol of a woman who is afraid to age without her long hair. Short hair should not be seen as a loss, but as a new stage of femininity.
Going short?
If you really want to cut your hair but don’t know what to do, opt for a medium-length bob. This way, you are sure not to make a mistake, since it adapts to most people. The bob is THE timeless cut par excellence, a great classic that crosses time and age without taking a wrinkle. On the other hand, boyish cuts or very long hair must be well balanced to adapt to the shape of the face. They can indeed mark the features or pack a silhouette, and thus age it.
Think also about the fringe. When well balanced, they look very feminine and will not harden the face. Above all, it can camouflage visible wrinkles. On the other hand, on the sides of the head, it is better to air the cut to bring light to the face.
Aim for perfection
The more we advance in the spiral of age, the more important it is to call upon an experienced hairdresser-visagist. He or she will be able to tell you exactly which haircut is best suited to a given face so that it looks younger. Whatever it is, it must be perfectly maintained. No more dirty roots, regularly skipped care, faded cuts and visible roots. We leave the grunge trend to the young women, to tend towards the glamour and the ultra-femininity.
The secret to a good cut? Bring volume and movement back into the hair with a layered look and tousled effects, especially in the strands that frame the face. It has to move!
