WHILE most of us think getting rid of wrinkles is the key to looking younger – there’s one feature that can let your real age show – your hair.
One hair expert has revealed the four styles that can instantly reverse the clock and make you look younger, without having to inject any Botox or cover wrinkles you might have.
Older women may find that their hair becomes thin and brittle as they age and it can be difficult getting it back to it’s youthful condion.
Thankfully, there are a few haircuts that can give the appearance of a more youthful look and give it back its lost volume.
For those who want to keep the length of their hair but find it lacks volume now, waves are the answer.
According to experts at Hairatin, long waves can work wonders on mature hair as they add ‘depth and volume’ to give the illusion of thicker hair.
Allure recommends long waves, stating that “gentle waves can add texture and volume, making hair look fuller and more vibrant.”
48-year-old Kate Winslet regularly wears her long locks in a wavy style to help create thickness and frame her face.
This timeless classic will never go out of style and opting for a blunt cut will help make your hair look thick and full.
The Hairatin experts claimed: “A timeless choice, the classic bob is a fantastic option for those with thinning hair because it gives the sense of texture and adds layers to your hair.”
There are plenty of styles to go for – whether it’s a blunt cut or graduated – but there’s one key element you need to ask for if you want it to reverse the looks of ageing.
Texturising in the cuts adds a boost of volume and a clear shape to frame the face to help in the anti-ageing department.
Actress Helen Mirren, 78, often wears her hair in a bob for a timeless look that gives her locks an extra bounce.
For those with fine hair, a pixie cut is the perfect way to instantly to create more volume.
It might seem counter-productive to cut your hair off if it is thin, but this hairstyle will mean you can add lots of texture.
Emma Thompson, 64, has been a fan of the cut and gives a modern twist to shorter hair.
The Hairatin professionals explained: “This haircut adds a playful and modern touch to your look. This low-maintenance style not only complements thinning hair but also screams confidence and boldness.”
Finally, the experts recommend a layered bob for the ultimate anti-ageing hack.
not only will this mean you get to keep a lot more length than a regular bob – but it will also help shape your face drastically – leaving you with a ‘baby face.’
Speaking to Vogue India, Stevie Holland, senior stylist at SALON64 said: “For those with a heart-shape face, stick to long soft layers such as bobs and lobs to add fullness around the jaw.”
Experts at Hairatin agreed, noting that the layered lob “strikes the perfect balance between long and short”, making it an excellent choice for those with thinning hair and mature complexions.
The added fullness around the jaw gives the illusion of a classic “baby-face”, which is the epitome of youth.
