The older a woman gets, the more she needs to rethink many aspects of her style and appearance. One of the key points is hair colour. Shades that suited you in your 20s may look completely different in your 40s. The wrong colour can accentuate all the age-related changes - wrinkles, redness, skin thinness - and make you look tired, faded, and lethargic.

To avoid the undesirable effect, OBOZREVATEL suggests that you familiarise yourself with the hair shades that do not suit ladies 40+. Avoid these colours if you want to look younger.

Deep monochrome black

Even many very young girls with this shade of hair look grey, dull and tired. All skin imperfections will immediately become doubly or even triply noticeable. Women with very fair complexions should be especially careful. Too much contrast between the skin and hair will draw attention to defects that we usually want to hide, such as purple bruises under the eyes or redness on the face. The black monochrome colour is a little softer for ladies with olive complexions, but if you belong to the typical Slavic beauty type, this option is hardly yours.

Deep ash

Not covering up grey hair has been a popular trend in recent years. Many world stars demonstrate that you should not be afraid of the natural signs of ageing, but accept them with pride and confidence. However, if you decide to go for a deep smoky shade, be as careful as possible. Saturated tones can also emphasise unevenness on the face, make the bags under the eyes brighter, and the skin itself pale.

Red

Owners of vascular skin, regardless of their face type, should not choose red and all its variations. This season's fashionable copper-red shade will not be the best option for a more mature type of beauty, like any other colour from the red range. All the veins and other redness on thin skin will be many times more saturated, and this is hardly the effect you want.
