Age-Defying Hairstyle Ideas—They Exist!

Sometimes, no matter how extensive your skincare arsenal is, nothing can make you look and feel youthful than a flattering hairstyle. I understand that looking young isn’t the end-all-be-all of life, but if switching up your hairdo can make you feel 10 years younger, I’m here to help.

You want to consider length, color, and style when choosing a hairstyle. The right cut can open up your face or accentuate features that weren’t that visible because of your current hairstyle. Whatever suits your vibe, be sure to communicate it to your stylist so that they have a clearer vision of what you want.

Forget the fountain of youth—opt for the crown of youth instead (your hair!).

Wavy Lob

There’s a reason why lobs are a favorite of many. It’s the sweet spot between long and short, with its shoulder-length layers grazing the decolletage and framing the face. It’s also so easy to style. Adding soft waves or curls can elevate this classic cut further and give it a relaxed, edgy vibe.

Feathered Shoulder Length

This is similar to a lob but a few inches shorter. It has more noticeable layers that frame the face beautifully. I love this hairstyle because it is customizable, meaning you can work with your stylist (or me!) to create the best layers for your look.

Textured Pixie

If you were a cool girl before, you’re a cool girl now with this cut. Pixie styles bring out your best features because it opens and brightens up the face. Whether it’s on the longer or shorter side, pixies offer volume that is effortlessly flattering for any age.

Bob With Wispy Bangs

Like its cooler counterpart, the lob, bobs are perfect for any age. They’re incredibly easy to style, plus they’re suitable for any hair type. A bob with wispy bangs gives off a youthful vibe because it hides lines and frames the face tightly. Coordinate with your stylist to get the correct length for you.

Big, Voluminous Curls

This hairstyle is a no-brainer. Go for over-the-top volume paired with a deep side part to get that dramatic look. Any woman who can carry big curls exudes youth, exuberance, and confidence. You can also style it into a messy bun for a laid-back look.

Full Bangs

We have Anna Wintour to thank for making full, blunt bangs acceptable for any age. This fringe style may look dramatic, but if it works for you, go for it! It’s perfect for hiding lines and drawing attention to your eyes. Here’s a quick tip: If you have a round or oval face, it’s better to ask for a softer fringe that’s slightly feathered.

Long and Layered Beach Waves

Think of this hairstyle as a modern take on Farrah Fawcett’s iconic waves. Depending on the season, you can opt for loose waves for spring and summer and amp up the volume for fall and winter. You can also ask your stylist to choose a flattering hair color to make your waves pop more.

A flattering hairstyle truly can shave years off your look. Come over to ShineForth Salon and let me help you find the perfect cut for you.
