The worst haircut for women over 40 has been named: it adds age and emphasizes wrinkles. Photo.

Every visit to the hairdresser is a real stress for any woman, cause even a proven master can make a mistake and you will end up with a bad haircut, which means a ruined mood for at least a week. It is very important to take into account not only trends and your own desires, but also your face shape, color type, hair quality, and much more. One of the key factors is age. Haircuts that were perfect for you in your 20s and 30s may look completely different after you turn forty.

For example, one of the most unsuccessful solutions for women 40+ will be "fringe" - thick bangs. It can add age and emphasize all the age-related changes on the face, such as wrinkles, skin thinness, redness, and general fatigue. OBOZREVATEL will tell you more about the "insidiousness" of this hairstyle for older beauties.

Too thick and straight "fringe", among other things, rounds the face. This makes it visually look wider and fuller. With bangs of this format, you risk looking 10 years older than your real age, and this is probably not the effect you want to achieve.

In addition, the "fringe" weighs down the face and makes the eyes appear much smaller. Surprisingly, many women 40+ mistakenly believe that thick and straight bangs are a winning option, and therefore often experiment with them. It's important to add that fringe often leads to a loss of volume, which makes the look look a bit stale and gloomy.

Who doesn't like straight fringe?

As we found out, straight and thick fringes are not for every woman. And it's definitely not worth it for beauties with round or square faces. "Fringe shortens the face, makes it rounder, and sharpens the features.

Fringed hairstyles for women over 50

If a woman over 40-50 years old feels most comfortable with this haircut, she should choose a softer fringe, pulled to one side or wrapped around the face on both sides, as well as curtain bangs. A short, not too thick fringe, such as a bowl haircut, is a good choice, especially for bold women.
