From sky-high updos to rigid perms, these hairstyles will dictate your mood and style. Go for the natural look when styling your hair this season, and avoid these mistakes that’ll make you look older.
Over Teased Hair
Be gentle to keep your hair looking young when adding volume. Plus, the more friction your strands endure, the more damage and frizz you’ll likely experience.
Helmet Hair
A helmet-like haircut hides the natural shape of your hair. Try adding bangs or face-framing angles to a blunt cut.
Over Bleaching
This will damage your hair and make your skin look paler.
Untouched Roots
A professional service still stands above the rest. For in-house root touch-ups, begin with dry hair. Moisture can affect hair dye efficiency. Blend the dye well to prevent demarcations.
Layer Hair Cuts
Always match your cut to your face. We suggest you should go for a middle-part lob or long layers.
Brushing your hair every day
Harness the power of a wide-tooth comb or fingers for styling. Daily brushing can lead to breakage, so minimal brushing is recommended.
Fried Hair
Fried hair will make you look older and exhausted.
Trimming Your Own Bangs
Be sure you are ready to face the consequences: that the bangs will not heal easily, and that they will add years to your face. A good alternative is to use a thinning shear for texture and not to blunt-cut bangs with scissors if you do not know what you are doing.
Darker Tones
If you dye your hair too dark it can also age you.
Using Cheap Conditioner
Conditioning is essential; hence, proper conditioners should be used frequently. In general, conditioning should be applied along the length and ends.
Rigid Updos
Structured styles emphasize aging brows, eye lines, and neck creases. We recommend incorporating gentle curls or relaxed waves for a softer look.
Daily Showers
There’s an old rumor that you are supposed to shower daily. However, the truth is that nothing bad will happen if you don’t, but your styling will suffer.
The Icon of the 90s, Karen Hair
Bleach might age you more quickly, but Karen Hair will make you look older regardless of age. Usually, people grow out of those styles, and aging doesn’t help those layers look good.
Late-90s Blocked Highlighting Techniques
The late 90s blocked highlighting techniques will make you look older.
Very Fluffed-Up Curly Hair
This hairstyle looks more mature on some women. We recommend going for a lob, or a curly shag, with lots of layers.
Layered Up: What Was Supposed to Be a Bob
This type of bob looks completely different on everyone, and it may not suit you. In general, ask your stylist to advise you according to the proportions of your face.
Overly-polished curls
Tight curls make you look older. Try some loose ones.
