8 Hairstyles That Can Make You Look Younger

Let's get something out in the open, shall we? Aging can be an authentically beautiful experience. It is also far better than the alternative. While your younger self probably spent a lot of time thinking about aging along the lines of: 

Ugh! Why do older women all get pixie cuts?

Will I still be able to pull off mermaid hair in my 60s? 

I’d rather die than have gray hair. (We are sure this is a typo and should be “dye”)

Will I start wearing that weird half-mullet, half Farrah Fawcett style that my mom thinks is still in? 

You have now come to see that you are as cool as the day you were born and have aged like a graceful butterfly. So, that means you need a hairstyle that matches your mature brilliance. 

Below are eight hairstyles that you need in your life to keep you looking as young as you feel.

A Shoulder-Length Soiree

A shoulder-length haircut is basically a hit with anyone – any age, any face shape, any color hair. The key? Make sure that the main length hits right at or above/below your shoulders. It is classic and always looks gorgeous for any occasion.  

The Sophisticated Bob 

Do bobs ever really go out of style (No, really, we want to know)? A classic bob hovers somewhere below your chin and can make anyone appear years younger instantly. The trick is the shortness doesn't weigh down the appearance quite like a longer hairdo. 

Pro tip: spice it up with an angular cut for a more dramatic effect. 

Classy Pixie 

A pixie cut is pretty much a short hairstyle with longer hair at the top that accentuates your ears (the perfect situation for those with piercings and want to show them off). 

Sometimes bangs make an appearance in this look, and other times, bangs are a no-go. Either way, a pixie cut is a great way to bring out the eyes and cheekbones.  

Bangs for Days

If you do opt for bangs, it can add a youthfulness that is undeniable. It can help the face appear slim and pair well with virtually any pair of glasses (that's a bonus tip)! 

Warning: bangs that are too short will cause fine lines on the forehead to be that much more noticeable. Work with one of our amazing stylists to see what length is right for you! 

Braids

Now, you might be thinking that bangs are as far as you will go, but hear us out. Braids aren't just for little girls. Many older women have worn braids well into their late 60s and 70s and have achieved chic-sophistication with the right styling. 

It's all in the execution.

Layer Up and Highlight the Day Away

The perfect marriage of layers and highlights can add dimension and movement. The pop of color can take a normal haircut to extraordinary levels. Similarly, layering can achieve a flowing effect that can make the hair appear healthy and full-bodied. These two together are the recipe for a million head turns. 

The Statement Updo 

Who said that formal hair had an expiration? You can rock a statement updo any time you want. The magic behind an updo is its simplicity. While you can add a few curls to hug the face gently, an updo, in general, possesses its own level of elegance that never goes out of style.

The best part? It doesn't have to take a lot of time.

I Woke Up Like This 

When all else fails, the signature messy hair can be the statement piece of any day! It's fun, stylish, and shows that you are confident. The trick to making this style work is that everything else has to be wonderfully put together. Your outfit, makeup, and everything in between will add balance to the messy hair and ooze with youthful enthusiasm.
