Women's haircuts for short hair: how to wear such hairstyles and not look older

Short haircuts can give a younger look, or they can visually add age. This was reported by SSPDaily

Many women, especially those over 50, believe that short haircuts will make them look younger. Experts ask you to pay attention to the factors that influence the perception of the age of a woman with a short haircut.

In what cases does short hair make a woman look younger and when older

• Usually, long hair helps to disguise certain parts of the face, skin imperfections, and certain areas, such as the neck. While short haircuts open up the face and skin and emphasize the signs of aging. Long hair softens facial features, while short hair visually highlights and sharpens them.

• Smooth long hair helps to hide skin imperfections, while short strands, on the contrary, emphasize them. Wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun spots, thus make the skin visually worse and add age.
• With a short haircut, gray roots and overgrown strands are more visible, so you need to color it more often, which can harm your hair. In addition, stylists advise to keep in mind that if you dye your hair dark, remember that a strong contrast of dark dyed hair with light skin may not be a good idea. You should use warmer, darker shades that will blend in with your skin tone.

• Short haircuts may not be suitable for those with long, narrow, or square faces - an unbalanced ratio will draw attention to imperfect features instead of softening them. The wrong ratio between hair and facial features emphasizes the shape of the face, which can also visually add age.
• A short haircut with bangs is not for everyone. An uneven cut line and an open forehead can emphasize wrinkles, and vertically shortened strands can give your face a tired expression and make it look older.

• You shouldn't cut your hair short for thin and sparse hair either, because it will not emphasize facial features and make the look heavier.
• Short haircuts are not as versatile as long haircuts. Short hair makes it impossible to do different hairstyles, so you should choose a haircut that will help emphasize your strengths, and not vice versa, visually make you look older.

How to look younger with a short haircut

Stylists advise that a short haircut makes a woman look younger and more attractive:

• Change the length of your hair gradually, over several months. You don't need to switch to a short hairstyle right away.
• To soften your facial features, if necessary, makea few strands that will help to emphasize it and make it softer. Try curtain bangs.
• It's important to choose the most appropriate length for a short haircut. It will depend on your face shape, features, hair type, and style in general.

• It is important to choose the right length not only for your face shape, but also for your hair type. Because, for example, a pixie on curly hair will be very different from a pixie on straight hair.
• Choose a multi-layered short hairstyle.Successful layering will create volume and add lightness.
• It is better to give up ultra-short haircuts - they are not suitable for everyone. In most cases, such hairstyles do not emphasize the shape of the face and add age.

• Using accessories such as headbands, hair jewelry, scarves, and hats is a great way to experiment with style and also to mask skin imperfections. It's important to choose pieces in colors that suit you.
• Take care of your hair coloring - update the color in time, cover gray hair, and choose the shades you need.
• Emphasize your strengths - use your hairstyle to highlight your eyes, cheekbones, smile, and other attractive areas.
