Sinking into the comfort of predictability may be tempting, but there are hairstyles out there that can revitalize the way you feel about yourself while taking years off for you—ways that don’t make you look like you’re aiming to jump on the teenage trend bandwagon. No need to look or feel older, women are embracing all types of hairstyles to look and feel more youthful.
Start with where you’re at. Do you need to lose the long locks because they’re holding you in the past? Or do you need to just twist them up and add some curl to make your hair look fresh?
Check out your image in the mirror and decide what angle you’re going for, because there are so many ways to rejuvenate.
Are you going sexy dark? Easing back into a beautiful natural gray?
Everyone feels better when they feel renewed. And happily, you don’t even have to do much to make a huge change. Long, soft bangs can refocus attention to your eyes.
A heavy, side-swept fringe can inspire a mysterious edge while simultaneously softening the forehead.
Color changes or balayage can create the same effect. Highlights framing the face make features brighter and less harsh.
Unique braids change things up without even using scissors or dye. A wavy, tousled bob—especially with some layered highlights and lowlights in it—can be the ultimate go-to for business, just got out of bed but still sexy, or even to head out on the town.
It’s the details that make it, so take some time with our hairstyle ideas. Consider the season, what you’ll be wearing, what you love about your hair currently and how various adjustments mix with your day-to-day life.
Discuss it with your stylist and voila! New, fresher you in a couple simple changes.
