Don't make the same mistakes: five women's hairstyles that age well. Photo.

You can voluntarily add a couple of years to your life not only with the help of make-up or a bad outfit, but also by doing the wrong hairstyle. A successful haircut can dramatically change a person, and the right shade of hair can emphasise strengths and hide flaws. There is no universal hairstyle for women over 40, but there are anti-examples that we want to share.

OBOZREVATEL will tell you which hairstyles are strictly contraindicated in adulthood. And if you still want to repeat the images below, stylists will probably dissuade you (to see the photos, scroll to the end).

1. Too long hair

Fashion experts often debate whether long hair is acceptable in adulthood. Many stylists claim that curls below the shoulder blades can age a woman even more. Especially if she chooses an unnatural hair colour. Therefore, professionals agree that if you want to look younger, wear your hair just below your shoulders.

2. Black tresses

Many ladies believe that it is easier to cover up grey hair with the darkest shades. This is true, but you should understand that the sudden silver in your hair will seem even more noticeable against the background of bluish-black curls. Frankly speaking, black hair looks bad on women over forty. It makes the face look earthy grey, emphasises dark circles under the eyes, age spots and wrinkles. To lose a few years, take a closer look at warm chocolate shades or cool blonde.

3. Red or purple hair

This colouring seems very old-fashioned. Against the background of a red or purple hairstyle, the complexion becomes yellowish. And we are used to the fact that only older ladies choose this palette, because they think that the brightness will distract others from the imperfections on their faces.

4. The "cap" bob

This hairstyle looks like a woman over 40 desperately trying to become a teenager again. The fashion for this haircut remained in the 1980s, but some still want to repeat the iconic image of Anna Wintour. In addition, if you don't have time to style, don't even risk making a bob.

5. Too strong a fixation

If you want to add 5-7 years to your hair, style it and fix it so that not a single hair moves in a strong wind. Only graduates and ladies over 50 could use the entire bottle of varnish at once, trying to fix the "bagel" on the top of their heads. But our advice is to be more natural and not get carried away with the fixative.
