1. Pixie Cut
Not every woman can pull this look off, but if you’ve got the guts and
the right face shape, this look can instantly take years off of your
appearance. Pixie cuts have a naturally youthful vibe, making them a
great choice if you are looking to change your look dramatically. They
are perfect for the older woman who hasn’t lost her energy and youthful
sense of style.
2. Messy Bob
If you want to keep your hair short, opt for a textured bob with uneven
edges. A stiff, even cut can look a bit too polished and overdone, which
ages you. A looser, edgier cut not only makes you look younger, but it
also adds volume to your hair.

3. Shoulder-Length Layers
For hair that is straight or wavy, flowy layers that hit around the
collarbone are perfect to soften the face. Layers add movement and depth
to your hair, making it look thicker and fuller. However, beware of
this style if your hair is very curly, as it may make it pouf out at the
bottom.
4. Subtle Highlights
If you feel your hair is starting to feel a bit ‘blah’, but aren’t sure
what to change, switch up the color. Add tasteful highlights in a shade
that’s only slightly lighter than your current color, mainly
concentrated around your face. This will add light to your smile and
movement and depth to your hair.

Sideswept bangs have been a trend among all women for several years now,
and they continue to be in high demand. Having these small sections of
hair frame your face softens your look, making you appear younger.
Sideswept bangs also look fun and flirty, and look equally nice with an
updo or with tousled waves.
6. Off-Center Bun
This is a great way to wear an updo without looking too put-together.
Gather your hair in a low bun, angling it to the side of your head
opposite your part. Pull some tendrils out around your face to add some
movement. This will make you look perfectly chic without overdoing it.

Pull half of your hair back in a tie or clip to frame your face and make
it look softer. This style looks best with soft waves – too straight or
too curly can look harsh. If you want to look extra trendy, you can
also try a half-bun, which are all the rage right now.
8. Deep Side Part
Hair parted down the center can look very harsh and severe. Switch it up
by parting your hair on the side, preferably with some soft, undone
waves. The resulting look is one that’s effortlessly youthful.
[post_ads_2]9. Loose Waves
Instead of curling your hair to perfection, opt for a tousled, beachy
look that is more fun and relaxed. Apply some sea salt spray and mousse
to your hair after it’s been washed, then let it air-dry. Touch up the
look by loosely running some pieces around a narrow-barrel curling wand.
You want to strike the perfect balance between sexy and messy.
10. Sophisticated Ponytail
This look can be very hit or miss, but if you have long hair, a ponytail
can help your face appear smoother and thinner. Just be sure that the
hair is sleek and that you add some product to keep it in place. Wrap a
piece of hair around the elastic to look extra stylish.

11. Braided Updo
Instead of a tight bun or twist, which can emphasize wrinkles, opt for a
softer updo with braids. There are many different ways to do a braided
updo, so have fun and get creative. The soft volume of the braids makes
you look lighter and more youthful.
12. Sleek and (Almost) Straight
If you always wear the same, tired curls, chances are, your look is
aging you. Give your hair some life by breaking out the straightener.
However, you’ll want to be careful not to overstraighten – completely
stick-straight locks can look harsh. Opt for volume at the roots,
sleekness through the middle of the hair, and a slight bend at the ends
for the perfect look.

13. Voluminous Curls
No matter the length of your hair, adding volume and body to your hair
conveys that you’ve still got it. Use a large curling iron to create
thick curls, adding some light hairspray to keep them in place. If you
want to elongate your neck, add a deep side part and keep your hair on
one side of your shoulder.

14. Side Braids or Ponytail
If you have long hair, opt for a low braid or ponytail for a look that’s
soft and casual, but still flattering. To ensure that you are still
looking age-appropriate, keep everything loose and slightly tousled –
too tight and you might look like a cheerleader. This style looks great
because it elongates the face and neck, making you appear slimmer.
