Anti-aging haircuts for women after 40 years

If youth is characterized by pretentious recklessness and some inconsistency of the created image, then in adulthood, especially for women, it is necessary to maintain style, where clothes, accessories, makeup and hairstyle should unobtrusively complement each other, leaving room for creativity.

Formation of an image that reflects the main character traits of a woman of mature age, should come from answers to two main questions:

• what it really is;
• what she wants to look in the eyes of others.

A correctly selected haircut should simultaneously take into account both the characteristic features of the created image and the individual anatomical features: the shape of the face, neck, nose and chin. The master must accurately determine these features and through certain manipulations skillfully hide the flaws and emphasize the merits.

Currently, women after reaching the 40-year milestone are increasingly resorting to plastic surgery. Natural beauty at this age is now a priority, and the light elements of age-related wilting, wrinkles around the eyes and folds around the lips, give a special charm to mature women in all respects, radiating additional sexuality.

A well-chosen haircut should have a visual anti-aging effect that helps to hide the imperfections caused by aging, such as wrinkles, gray hair and sagging skin. The length, shape and configuration of the haircut should be selected according to appearance, taking into account the shape of the face, forehead, nose and neck.

Haircuts can be complemented by dyeing that hides gray hair. But after 40 you should already avoid the reddish and pigmentation-highlighting shades, as well as burnished-black colors, which contribute to the appearance of wrinkles. It must be borne in mind that after 40 years, the hair length below the shoulders, bunches, curls, nests and fleeces only age a woman.

When a woman is slightly over 40, she still does not fully realize that she has matured and that some stereotypes must be changed and her image adjusted. Short skirts and long hair still prevail in everyday life, but new wrinkles and other signs of a transition to a different standard of living are already becoming noticeable.

At this time, one should not be afraid of inevitable changes and in a hurry to make new-fashioned anti-aging injections, and even more so in a hurry to plastic surgeons. You just need to go to the mirror and take a sober look at yourself, realizing that it’s time to change.

And you need to start with a hairstyle and, first of all, remove excess hair, picking up a lighter, neat haircut across your face. If it is a pity to part with long hair, then you need to consider the options for hairstyles, provided for the openness of the neck.

Haircuts such as page, pixie, cascade are the most common among short hairstyles of volume type. The standard execution of a page haircut provides for smooth lines, a straight bang, which smoothly passes from the shortened frontal part to the elongated occipital part of the head. This haircut has the following features:

• focuses on the shape of the neck;
• carries out visual correction of the ears;
• unpretentious to styling;
• looks harmonious with a length from the middle of the forehead, smoothly passing to the middle of the neck behind.

Creating voluminous hairstyles on medium length hair is not an easy task. For this purpose, cascading haircuts are the most optimal, as well as a square and an extended bean. Cascading haircuts are the most versatile for hair of any length. The basic principle of their execution is the processing of hair strands by randomly cutting along different lengths. At the same time, the hair is trimmed shorter on the crown, and strands are gradually lengthened towards the nape and frontal part. This type of haircut can be used with any face shape.

Creating a voluminous hairstyle focused on long hair is a very complex process that requires skill and endurance. To give volume to the elongated part of the hair is much more difficult than in parts closer to the roots of the hair. Here it is necessary to use a wave and the soft wave method. Initially, the cascade haircut was aimed specifically at hairstyles with long hair, often combined with braids.

A lot of time is spent on hair care, in particular, on their styling. You can save a lot of time using hairstyles that do not require styling.

• round - haircuts are recommended that create a visual correction aimed at lengthening the face (with elongated bangs, cascade, asymmetric);

• square - the purpose of the haircut - smoothing corners (recommended variations that cover the cheekbones in whole or in part);

• rhombus (diamond shape) - recommended hairstyles to visually smooth the contrast of the cheekbones and chin (pixie, medium length with asymmetric or graduated bangs);

• triangular shape - a sharp chin (hairstyles with slanting bangs are recommended, covering the cheekbones to the middle);

• rectangular - It is characterized by the most pronounced chin line and clearly defined cheekbones (optimal hairstyles such as bob with a ragged or oblique elongated bangs).

Separately, you need to pay attention to creating the image of full ladies. Such women are characterized by a round face, on which wrinkles and sagging become noticeable with age. In order to hide the disadvantages associated with age-related changes, it is important to choose the right hairstyle, which will create the visual effect of lengthening the face.

Hair should frame your face without opening your cheeks completely and be about the length of your chin. Bangs should not be framed in the middle. If the hair is given any shade, then it should not be bright and plain.

In these cases, bean-style haircuts are preferred, extending along the border of the face, framing it along the entire length of the cheekbones to the chin.
