Here are the perfect haircuts for older women

Forget what you thought about long hair pass the age of 40. Thick hair looks younger and shinier when they fall of the shoulder or exceed this length. To get this look, ask for a minimum of framing layers. In terms of length, your hair should not be shorter than your shoulders, but the maximum length depends on the shape of your face – ask your stylist what he recommends.

The features of the face become more pronounced, and often severe, with age, and boring hair cut does nothing to balance it all. A shorter style, like Reese Witherspoon’s, will prevent the hair from going completely flat and soften the very angular features.

According to Jay Vosper, master stylist at the Dop Dop Salon in New York, a short cut that goes down to your chin gives the illusion of fullness and it’s shape will make your hair more taut. But keep it modern with an edgy bob like Cameron Diaz, says celebrity stylist and hairdresser Dominick Pucciarello at the Mizu Salon in New York, to avoid a matronly look.

Oily roots quickly look dull and lifeless, even dirty, especially if you have fine hair. Stylist Jay Vosper suggests opting for an asymmetrical cut like Helen Mirren’s. “The asymmetry and the deep part of the side gives the hair a lift and fullness, while a middle part would draw more attention to smoothness,” he says. Bonus: the cut also improves the bone structure, like your cheekbones, which tend to grow more with age because of the decrease in fat in your cheeks.

The older we get, the more sensitive our hair are to frizz and static electricity. Many women who struggle with frizz think that having longer hair will help them, but frizz can become more difficult with long hair. The best bet when it comes to length is to imitate Eva Mendes’ hairstyle, which extends a few inches beyond her shoulders. With this length, you will be able to keep the frizz under control, which will make your strands stronger and healthier.

You do not need to change the texture of your strands for a younger look. Instead, enjoy your curls and look for a cut with multiples layers. Ask your stylist to cut shorter strands around your face and bring out the ends.

The trick to pulling the gray hair look is to ask your stylist for a fresh and trendy style. To keep a modern look, tell your stylist that you want a lob from the size of a razor-sharp clavicle, with soft, rounded layers that start at about the height of the cheekbones.

Know that waves are rejuvenating while straight hair tends to age women. Take advantage of long layers of framing to add a feeling of smoothness and movement.
