Which curly hairstyles make you look older?
I repeat, having curly hair is a blessing!
It can never make you look older, unless and until you have the following styles in your hair:
1. Very short curly hair that is devoid of any style
Having curly hair that just coils and sits flat in your hair bearing no length and shows the shape of head, will definitely look older because it will give the impression that your hair has become lifeless and has lost the capacity to regrow.
2. Curly hair that’s very short without a definite cut
Curly hair that’s very messy and has grown like a bush without any shape and a definite cut, will definitely give the impression of being old.
3. Curly hair that’s coloured red or burgundy
The natural hair colour is never like that. It can never be red or burgundy. It’s only when your hair starts ageing, you forcefully colour your hair into these shades in order to give vibrancy to them.
But believe me, these colours can and will only make you look older because if you would want to look younger, you would have opted for lighter shades and not these darker ones.
4. Curly hair that’s too frizzy and lifeless
With age, your curly hair tends to become more lifeless and dull, losing all shine and lustre and becoming frizzy and dry. This is a sign that your hair is ageing and losing all natural oils.
6. Curly hair with split ends
Split ends are also signs of ageing and also a reminder that you are losing interest in your look. Having split ends with curly hair looks really bad and gives the impression of lack of care and maintenance which comes with ageing.
10 curly hairstyles make you look younger
The secret lies in keeping your hair healthy and shiny and you can never look older with your curls!
That said, there are certain curly hairstyles that will definitely steal some years off your age:
1. The highlighted curls
A single shade of colour can look boring and add to your age. Give it a pop up with some highlights to grab all attention.
2. The bangs
Bangs that reach up to the eyebrows along with side layers can really help to give your face a younger look. This is especially a great idea for people with broad foreheads.
3. The space buns
This is more of a teenage look, but also cool when you are partying out with friends. All you need to do is make a middle parting of your hair and tie side buns one on each side of the head.
4. The side braids
Side braids not only look elegant, but also help to define your face. Make side braids on each side of the hair and tie them at the back of your head, leaving the down part of the hair open. And yes, do not forget to take out some locks of hair right from the sides of your ear.
5. The top knot
This top knot style is the easiest and the quickest one and helps to define your facial structures as well as give you a younger look.
6. The half tied and half open curly hair
For this, all you need to do is. Tie the front part of your hair with a clip at the middle back part of the head and leave the rest of the ahir open. This helps to give you a clean look and also show your hair volume at the same time.
7. The ponytail
You can never go wrong with a ponytail and it’s sure to make you look years younger as you will hardly find old women doing a high pony. Do not forget to use a trendy rubber band.
8. The classic bun
Irrespective of any age, the classic bun is the one thing that looks the most graceful. You can either tie it in a messy style for a casual look or do a sleek bun for formal gatherings.
9. The blunt cut
The blunt hair cut just gives your face a younger look and your hair a volume. But this cut especially looks great with loose waves and loose curls. People with very kinky curls can avoid this look.
10. The Bob cut
The Bob cut that creates bangs on your forehead and is upto the length just below the end of your face is the perfect one to take at least 10 years from your age. Many celebrities have killed the show with this look.
But when you go for this style, believe me you should know that short curly hair is harder to maintain than long curly hair as split ends and frizzes would be highlighted with short curls. Therefore, keeping them moisturised and styling them with iron tongs and rollers should be in your daily routine.
See you soon
Curly hair with all its volume and bounce is bound to make you look younger and not older in any way!
