You Want to Look Younger? Try Changing Your Hair
Back To Articles
If there is one thing people see every day when they look at our faces, it is our hair. The color, shine and texture of the hair can be a great gauge of how old a person is. As we age, our hair tends to loose that natural shine and flowing texturing. The body falls limp and we are left with a mess of unmanageable hair. But, that does not have to be the case.
If your hair is making you look older than you are there are a few changes that can take years off your real age.
Highlights = Younger Locks
When highlights are placed in just the right spots on the head, they will frame the face and drop the years from how old you look. The key is to not overdue the highlights. The color should be just a few shades off base and the highlights, soft and sun kissed. There is a difference between highlighting and chunking and your salon needs to know the difference.
Layer For A Younger Look
When hair is heavy and falls around the face, it makes us look older. The lighter our hair feels, the lighter our spirits and the less drowning our hair will be. The salon should cut face framing layers into the style you have chosen. Even if the “picture” you are going for does not have layers, the addition of a few around the face will lighten the do and your age.
Shine, shine, shine
Young hair is shiny hair. That luster is one of the first things to disappear with age. But, you can regain that shine and naturally. A sweet smelling natural oil can be placed on the head for a few hours a week to moisture and revitalize. On a daily basis, stack the shine products for the best results. The shampoo, conditioner, gel, mousse and hairspray you use should all say they increase shine.
KEY NOTE: If you have limp or thin hair, do NOT use the instant shine sprays. These sprays are oily and tend to be heavy on the hair. This is something thin hair just cannot handle without looking oily and greasy.
