7 Hairstyles That Will Make You Look Younger
At the end of the year, usually during that in-between transitional week after Christmas and before New Year’s, we often find ourselves in reflection mode. While flashing through our memories, experiences, travels and learnings, our age usually sneaks itself into the reflecting pool. We then steal a few glances at ourselves looking back from the mirror. Do we look tired, stressed from all the holiday planning and shopping and parties? Or are we taking a second look thinking, “damn, I look pretty good considering I haven’t slept in a week.” Hopefully, it’s the latter, and one thing that can definitely brighten your look is a fresh hairstyle that is flattering to your face and fits your lifestyle.
As our clients busily zoom in and out of the salon, we’ve taken note of the hairstyles that are giving them an extra boost.
Here are 7 Hairstyles That Will Make You Look Younger:
Tousled Bob
This is a youthful look because the layers keep it soft and flowing around your face without the sharp angles of a bob. To style, use a curling iron at the ends of the hair in the uppermost layer of hair. Shake it out, use a little texture spray, and marvel over the volume and movement you can achieve in such a short time.
Our friend and client Betsy Weissman from Sculp’d paid us a visit before her recent Stylebook Street Style shoot. She got a great cut, and we received this email after the shoot: “Not only did you give her a super-flattering cut for her face, we thought she was 15 years younger than she is…” That is not Betsy above, but you will see her in next week’s Street Style!
Stacked Bob
This look has cheek-length layers with short layers at the back and longer layers at the front. It's surprisingly-low maintenance; get it reshaped every 8-10 weeks. It fits all most all face shapes.
Pixie Cut
This is a no-fuss hairstyle that makes it easy to maintain and takes years off.
Face-framing Highlights
A quick and subtle way to brighten your look, they draw the eye to your facial features and highlights that outline the shape of your face. And they’re flattering on everyone!
Medium-Length Cut With Layers
The face-framing layers are perfect for those with thicker hair because it highlights your features while enhancing your natural texture.
Long Cut with Waves
At night, roll your hair in some heatless curlers and wake up with some amazing waves. Kitsch has a great stocking stuffer.
High Ponytail
A high ponytail lifts and tightens the face. Add a little curl at the bottom to give it some bounce. Our friend, Dani, Blonde in the District, rocks that high ponytail (and pigtails, too) like no one’s business, check it out:
