Never cut your hair like this. 5 popular hairstyles that add age to women 40+

Choosing the best hairstyle that doesn't emphasize age-related changes can be very difficult, especially when options popular among young people can get old. First of all, it's important to take into account your face shape and hair structure so that a bad choice doesn't emphasize all the undesirable nuances of your appearance.

With the countless hairstyles out there, it's hard to know what will suit you best. She Finds has compiled trends to avoid and offered them a replacement for popular hairstyles that look similar to them.

Chin-length bob with straight bangs

This hairstyle can easily visually age even a girl in her 20s, so it's important to avoid this classic look. Straight bangs draw too much attention to the eyes and this will not have a very good effect.

What to replace it with? Classic bob or bob with curtain bangs

However, if you choose a regular bob without bangs, it is important to be careful with the length, because this haircut can emphasize the jaw and cheeks. The best option would be to combine a bob with curtain bangs. The secret is that the bangs gently frame the face and give a fresh look.

Center parting

The source claims that it is the center parting that draws attention to wrinkles on the forehead.

What to replace it with? Layered hairstyle with side parting

This option will not only distract attention from a rather mobile part of the face but also visually make the hair look bigger. "Any difference you create when your hair is used to lying flat and in the middle will create volume and make a big difference," explained hairstylist Hanima Abdullah.

Choppy Shags "ripped" haircut

Undoubtedly, this hairstyle will create a crazy volume on the top of the head, but it has long outlived its usefulness, She Finds points out. Instead, if the hair is cut correctly, you can still get the perfect shape that can "rejuvenate".

What to replace it with? Delicate "torn" haircut Wispy Shag

"Although the 'ladder' is trendy, it's important to avoid over-styling fine hair as it can make it difficult to work with and lifeless," said Abdullah.

It's best to delicately alternate long strands with short ones without creating too many layers.

Long, straight hair

First of all, you should not grow thin and brittle hair, because it will not add any "femininity", and with improper care, on the contrary, it can indicate untidiness.

Length can tighten facial features and make them look more elongated. If you choose longer hair, it's important to choose a "ladder" that will create movement and texture," explained hairstylist Gina Rivera.

What to replace it with? Frame your face with strands

You can create a framing effect with curtain bangs or shortened front strands. They will help to draw attention to attractive facial features.

Haircut of the same length

For the most part, this haircut is dull and uninteresting, which can emphasize duller skin. Layering (not excessive) will make the look lighter and more airy.

What to replace it with? Add texture

To fix an "unsuccessful" hairstyle, you can add layers to it, but if you need the "youthful effect" here and now, you can pay attention to styling with light chaotic waves.
