We all know that we can look younger with the use of beauty products. Concealer, primer and even lipstick are all useful aides for this. However, there are simple hair tips that we can also use to look younger. If we add these tips to those we also know that involves makeup, we can look a decade younger, without spending money on any surgical procedure, not to mention skipping any possible side effects such as pain. Here are a few you may wish to try.
Consider a new cut
A new cut may be the perfect way to actually cut off years from your age. The ideal cut will create a lush appearance around the frame of your face. The right cut can also soften your look. What may be the right cut? It can be a one that adds layers to your hair. It can be one that still allows your hair to be longish. No, you don’t have to cut your hair short, just because you are over forty. A shoulder length hairstyle or a little longer can still be attractive for those over forty and beyond. However, you may want to skip the blunt cuts and you definitely want your hair to move freely.
Consider adding bangs
Bangs can work like Botox. They can disguise forehead wrinkles. Plus, they can make hair appear fuller. They can even make thinning hair look thicker. Side swept fringe type bangs can even erase years from your look.
Shiny hair gives the illusion of young hair
When you think of young hair, do you think of hair that is shiny and glossy? Luckily, we can get this shine from products such as hair gloss. These can be applied daily, weekly or monthly depending on the need.
Pony-tails can still be your friend
Yes, the pony-tail is always the go to style when we have a bad hair day. However many women are afraid of this look because they think they are too old for it. The key is to reconsider how you wear it. Instead of wearing the pony tail high in back, wear it to the side or wear it a little looser, allowing some of your hair to escape from it in a messy style. Never wear the style slicked back in a tight manner. This will show off every pore and every fine line you have.
Try a new part
Have you worn your center part for years? Now is the time for a change. The fact is that a center part can look to severe. You can soften your look by zigzagging your part or at least changing it to the side. The bonus by changing your part is that it may hide some of your gray hairs.
Finally, while you are trying out new hair styles you may start considering changing the color of your hair. You may want to go a shade lighter to soften your look a bit more.
