If you could instantly look younger, wouldn't you want to
For those of you looking to shave off a few years from your look, a fresh hairstyle is
a nearly instant option. According to experts, here are the haircuts that will always make you look younger
If you're not used to having lots of layers incorporated into your haircut, it can be intimidating
But we're here to tell you, layers are your friend. Don't fear them
Jessica Gillen, celebrity hairstylist, told Good Housekeeping that you'll want to ask your stylist for choppy layers in order to look younger
where chunky layers are best, and the expert revealed that this look is particularly great
for women with thinning hair, as the chunky layers will work to provide some coverage
Just be sure to avoid cutting layers that are either too short on the sides or too long
in the back, because Gillen says, quote, If you've been growing your hair out in the hopes of it making you look youthful
celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton revealed to Today that it can actually do the opposite
A lot of women seem to sort of think that it makes them look younger because it reminds them of their school days but actually it starts to sometimes drag them down It can be heavy Instead of letting your locks do their own thing Appleton said a chubby textured cut is a much better bet And with a shorter haircut just think of all the time you save by not having to blow
dry your incredibly long mane. If you're not ready to part with your long hair, that's okay, too
Hairstylist Jessica Gillen told Good Housekeeping that delicate layers will prevent your hair
from looking weighed down. Gillen also recommended asking your stylist for, quote, "...face-framing pieces.
Which kind you choose, however, really depends on your hair type. If you have thick hair, you'll want those framing pieces to begin at your cheek before
graduating into longer layers. If your hair is more on the thinner side, the pieces that frame your face should begin
no higher than chin length. While choppy layers are great, you don't want any that are, quote, cut straight across near
your face. Galen revealed that this will create a mushroom-like look. Ugh
You'll also want to make sure your hair isn't too, too long. Doubt's past the collar is the sweet spot, according to the hairstylist
If you have curly hair, tippy shorter, celebrity hairstylist, and co-founder of Maine Society
advised a rounded shoulder cut when speaking to Allure and you don have to have super tight ringlets either Shorter revealed it accentuates all face types and works well with waves curls and coils Believe it or not this style will even work with bangs and don even worry about blow
or dragging those forward-facing curls through your flat iron. If you're in need of curly hair inspo for more mature faces, Oprah Winfrey knows a thing
or two about how to pull off the flattering-curled style. Whether you're 18 or 80, you can't go wrong with a classic bob
Still, you'll need to pick a bob that accentuates your features. Gillen spelled out just how to do this when speaking to Good Housekeeping
According to her, you should ask your stylist for an angled or inverted bob, one that is
longer in the front and gradually gets shorter as it moves back to create the, quote, illusion
of lifted cheekbones and a higher jaw. If you're not feeling the chin-length bob, why not go for its equally stunning cousin
the lob, which is basically a long bob. When speaking with Allure, hairstylist Tippi Shorter revealed that she prefers a sleek bob
on younger women and favors lobs with tons of texture on more mature women
Since delicate textured lobs look great not only on older women but on women of every age you won have to worry about this hairstyle looking dated When chatting with The List Holly Pitsdust master hairstylist for Chicago Gordon salons divulged why bangs have become increasingly popular
Some even feel that bangs help to cover their forehead, masking those fine lines, and bangs
are a lot cheaper than Botox. Stylist Jessica Gillen told Good Housekeeping that you'll want to opt for, quote
"...wispy and soft bangs, and you'll want to have them cut long enough so that you can push them off to the side.
Sweeping them to the side draws attention to the outsides of your cheekbones, visually
widening the face and creating the illusion of youthful fullness. Short cuts with lots of texture can work wonderfully on older women, according to celebrity stylist
Chris Appleton. In a makeover he performed on Today, he worked his magic and gave one lucky woman a super
short and super attractive cut. With one side cut even shorter than the rest, the hair guru revealed that this gives the
hair a nice, slim shape. If you want to go even shorter, Tippi Shorter preached the power of the pixie when speaking
with Allure. She said, quote, "...it's a haircut that says strength, confidence, and fun.
