How important is hair in facial expression? Very. The right cut or color can take years away and give freshness to the face, as would a slight aesthetic touch-up. Also for hair it is always a question of volumes and proportions, of plays of light and shadows to enhance the features and give more harmony.
1. The power of bangs
Over time, facial tissues tend to slide downwards, therefore, to give a more harmonious look, you need to shift your attention higher. How? With bangs, which first of all has the power to hide forehead wrinkles. Not all fringes are the same: the more important and geometric ones increase the squared look of the lower middle third of the face, while the more asymmetrical ones that fall softly on the face, softening the contours. Therefore, it is better to focus on the latter type.
2. Lightening: which ones to choose
The first suggestion that hairstylists offer to those who decide not to embrace their natural hair color even when it turns gray is make some lightening that illuminate the face and make the regrowth effect less evident. But in the play of light and shadow, it is good to keep some darker strands away from the face to give hair depth and movement. As he suggested London-based hairstylist Tyler Moore, to transform the hair color into an anti-ageing one, you can play with light shades around the face to give light to the complexion and then maintain darker tones that can be glimpsed in the back strands. In short words, yes tohair contouring, or rather the alternation of chiaroscuro with plays of light and degradé around the face to illuminate it and give it a younger look.
3. The cuts to avoid
Are there really cuts to avoid? The answer is no. The choice depends on how you feel and above all on the structure of your hair. If your hair tends to taper at the ends and your hair is less thick than it used to be, then a shorter cut can add body and volume. The bob the medium cut remains, which looks good on everyone and which enhances the face, giving it a fresher look. Just like the timeless one recently chosen by model Hailey Bieber: a bob with clean, rigorous lines, extra smooth, with even lengths and no layering. In general, all short and medium cuts have an immediate rejuvenating effect and adapt well to all hair types.
Layered cuts: to give volume and make hair look thicker, scaling helps because it enhances the features of the face, and also gives definition to the cheekbones. Layering is also a good option for those who want to keep their hair long: they add movement and make the cut less heavy or projected downwards. Jennifer Aniston’s eternal little girl effect teaches.
Asymmetrical cuts: is a yes also for asymmetrical cuts, which they manage to hide any imperfections, correct the shape of the face and make it less angular. An example? The pixie cut of the super Sharon Stone.
The right texture
The natural texture of the hair is the right one. If the lengths are curly or wavy, it’s nice to go along with its movement. In a world where over 60% of the population has curly or wavy hair, the starting texture deserves to be valued more and more. A trend that involves women of all ages precisely because it allows you to stay true to your style.
The anti-aging treatment
Not only can hair add years to your face, but it too is prone to aging and falling out. The lengths of the hair undergo a completely physiological pejorative modification of the keratin and in the vicinity of the menopause up to 30% of the mass is lost. Hair becomes thinner, brittle and prone to breakage. To slow down this process it is advisable to hire B vitamins, zinc, selenium, iron, cysteine and vitamin C. And then act with ad hoc products, such as leave-in serums and conditioners with an anti-aging, redensifying action that slows down hair loss by strengthening the hair fiber. Furthermore, with the analysis of the scalp it is possible to intervene on any imbalances.
Here the star who have gone beyond the «doors» from which to take inspiration to adapt the hair to one’s style and to the changing face. But always remaining true to themselves.
