Anti-aging: These hairstyles make you younger

Want a new, fresh look? We'll show you which hairstyles make you younger. Anti-aging with immediate effect!

A healthy diet, sufficient sun protection, lots of water and exercise – you always hear about miracle cures that can stop aging. And they are also effective, we don't want to deny that, but you have to pay attention to them consistently over the years. You can't expect immediate results.

However, things are different when you visit the hairdresser. The right hairstyle can instantly make us look years younger! So that you know what to look out for at your next appointment, we'll show you the best cuts for a youthful look.

#1 Gentle waves

The older we get, the more fatty tissue we lose on our face. You might think this is good news, but unfortunately it accentuates edges and hard lines on the face.

Hairstyles with gentle waves are ideal for visually balancing out the now striking facial features! They also bring movement to the hair and make us look more dynamic and younger.

If you are already naturally blessed with curly or wavy hair, you can show it off even better with a layered cut.

#2 Bob hairstyles

Unfortunately, our hair has a tendency to lose volume as we age - and many of us weren't blessed with much volume to begin with. Therefore, the bob is an ideal hairstyle to counteract this.

The short cut just below chin height brings bounce back into our hair and creates the illusion of fuller hair. A cut that gets shorter towards the back also draws the focus away from the chin and towards the cheekbones.

But not all Bob is the same. The trend hairstyle is now available in many different versions. Asup to just above the shoulders, as a short short bob or as a sleek bob, shiny and smooth.

#3 of Ponyfrisu

It's not for nothing that the English saying "bangs before botox" means: it's better to have your bangs cut than to have Botox injected. Since we are always for natural beauty anyway, we can support the statement even more. A pony has almost magical abilities when it comes to making us appear younger.

A fringe inevitably draws the focus immediately to our eyes and can therefore change our entire appearance for the better. Bangs also hide wrinkles on the forehead and, depending on the cut, even one or two wrinkles around the eyes.

#4 Long hair

Most women choose to wear their hair short as they get older. Somehow the rumor still persists that long hair makes us appear older. But it is exactly that: a rumor.

Thick hair has a tendency to become wider at the ends. If thick hair is worn short, there is a risk of an unflattering, triangular look. In this case it is nicer if the hair falls over the shoulders. The extra length weighs down the hair so it doesn't get wider towards the ends. The result: a youthful, fresh look.

#5 Braid hairstyles

If you want to have a rejuvenating effect without visiting the hairdresser, you should take a few minutes and browse Pinterest or YouTube for tutorials for beautiful braided hairstyles. Unfortunately, many believe that braided hairstyles are only reserved for women of a certain age - whatever that age is supposed to be. We believe: braided hairstyles flatter every woman.

A romantic braided hairstyle immediately creates a youthful and fresh look. Just make sure that your braids don't look too neat. Messy is the magic word, otherwise you'll quickly end up with the schoolgirl look - and that would probably be too much of a good thing. A loosely braided, casual side braid suits every woman and ensures a youthful look.

Extra tip: These hair colors make you look younger

By the way, hair color also has a decisive influence on your young appearance. It is said that those who prefer pale, ashy tones often appear older. Therefore, you should make sure to choose warmer tones. Brighter highlights are also recommended.

Conversely, this means that you can look a little younger with the right hair color. The most important thing here is that the hair color matches your skin tone. In general, moderate colors that are closer to the natural hair color are great. In addition, you save yourself the stress of having to re-color the roots every month!
