Anti-aging haircuts for women after 40 years

If adolescence recklessness and a certain inconsistency of the created image are characteristic for youth, then in adulthood, especially for women, sustainability of style is needed, where clothes, accessories, makeup and hairstyle should unobtrusively complement each other, leaving room for creativity.

Formation of the image, reflecting the main character traits of a woman of mature age, Should proceed from the answers to two basic questions:

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

A well-chosen haircut should simultaneously take into account both the characteristic features of the image being created and the individual anatomical features: shape of face, neck, nose and chin. The master must unmistakably identify these features and through certain manipulations skillfully conceal flaws and emphasize virtues.

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

Properly chosen haircut should have a visual rejuvenating effect, contributing to conceal the defects caused by aging, such as wrinkles, gray hair and skin sagging. The length, shape and configuration of the haircut should be chosen according to the appearance, taking into account the shape of the face, forehead, nose and neck.

Haircut can be supplemented by coloring, hiding gray hair. But after 40 it is already worth avoiding reddish and underlining skin pigmentation of shades, as well as bluish-black colors, which contribute to the appearance of wrinkles. It should be borne in mind that after 40 years the length of the hair below the shoulders, bunches, curls, nests and haircuts only age a woman.

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

At this time, do not be afraid of the inevitable changes and rush to do newfangled anti-aging injections, and even more so to rush to plastic surgeons. You just have to go to the mirror and look soberly at yourself, having understood what it is time to change.

And you need to start with a haircut and, above all, remove excess hair, picking up a lighter and neat haircut on your face. If you feel sorry for parting with long hair, then you need to consider the options for hairstyles, provided for open neck.

Haircuts like page, pixie, cascade are the most common among short hairstyles of volumetric type.The standard execution of the page size 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 outline of the neck;
• performs visual correction of the ears;
• unpretentious styling;
• looks harmoniously with the 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, the most optimal cascading haircuts, as well as bob and elongated bob. Cascading haircuts are the most versatile for hair of any length. The basic principle of their execution is the treatment of strands of hair by chaotic cropping along different lengths. In this case, at the crown, the hair is cut more shortly, and to the back of the head and the frontal part the strands are gradually extended. This type of haircut can be applied to any shape of the face.

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