Who doesn't want to look younger? Numerous articles have been talking about skin care regimes and diet tricks. But, the key to looking younger and thinner starts from the roots of your hair. As hair stylist, Zen from Kromakay quips, " An oft asked question from my older clients is.... What’s the best hairstyle for an older woman, to help her look younger and thinner?"
There is no “one” hairstyle that will magically make every woman look younger. What there is, is a variety of simple guidelines and tips that generally help women minimize the looks that come as a result of aging. But the key to looking younger and thinner is getting the clique between a good hair stylist and knowing what works for you. Just because the layered bob is in, it does not translate into the fact that the look works for you!
Go in for soft curves and waves
Curly hairstyles are terrific for many situations. They can help draw attention from too-prominent or over-large features, and can be easy care and quick styling, too. But for many women, who are developing the creases and prominent lines in their face as they grow older, a curlier style – one with a lot of movement or sharply defined curls - can make these lines stand out.
Keep your hair shiny and silky
Shiny hair is healthy hair and healthy hair is youthful. The long and short of this is that it is best to keep your hair looking soft and shiny whenever possible in order to always look your youthful best. Not only will you look younger when your hair has a little shine and bounce but you will also feel a little bit younger too
Part your hair off center
Always part your hair off center. Side parts will camouflage full cheeks and take the focus away from a round face shape.
Get layers
It all starts with the right cut. Layered haircuts give your face a more slender appearance. Avoid bobs and one-length cuts; blunt cuts tend to emphasize a full face.
Wear your hair high
Hairstyles that create height will immediately will give you a slimmer appearance. To achieve this, wear your hair half up and half down, in an up 'do, or in a high ponytail.
Add highlights
One final word of wisdom when it comes to youthful hairstyles is that you want to highlight and accent. You always want to accentuate the positive but by using colorful accents in your hair you can draw the eyes up to your hairstyle rather than drawing them down.
