Is Your Hair Aging You?

As we age, we spend a lot of time obsessing about our skin and what creams to use to look younger. But what about your hair? A bad hairstyle or color can add years to your appearance. On the other hand, a great cut and color can do wonders to drop years off your look. We’ve got some advice.

Hair Tips and Tricks to Make You Look Younger

Woman with layered hairLayers and soft waves are your friends.

As we age, many women make the mistake of sticking with styles that are too severe, like long, stick-straight locks or else they continue to favor styles that are too stiff, fussy and have no movement. Softness is your friend. Gravitate towards styles that frame your face with choppy layers or light waves. Avoid anything that is slicked down, pulled back and away from your face, is overly formal or has no movement. Side benefit – your hair styling routine probably just got a lot easier. Tousle and go!

Go lighter.

Many women are tempted to try to get their hair color back to the way it looked in their twenties, which may have been a dark brown or black. However, this is often a big mistake. Not only does it tend to look obviously dyed and fake, but dark colors against older skin have a tendency to bring out any dark circles, undertones, blotchiness and discolorations, especially if you are particularly fair-skinned.

Consider going a shade or two lighter than your natural color, or if your hair is going quite gray, this might be the time to go blond, as blond will help camouflage your grays. Visit the hair color page for plenty of coloring options.

Add some highlights.

This goes along with the advice above to go a shade lighter. Dyed hair, especially if you color your hair at home, is generally one flat all-over color, which tends to look fake, because our natural hair color is never just one shade. If your natural hair color is dark brown, the individual strands are a variety of different shades of lighter and darker browns. You can help mimic the look of a more natural hair color by adding a few highlights with a product like Scruples Illusionist Brilliant Creme Highlights PBX Hair Color.

Woman with white hairDebrass your white hair.

If you’re rocking the all-white or silver look (which can be quite modern, cool and attractive), you need to be careful about the tendency for the color to turn yellowy or brassy. You can fight this off with the use of debrassing products like Keratin Complex Blondeshell Debrass Shampoo and Conditioner. They are suitable for all types of blonde, gray and silver hair.
