5 Haircuts That Make You Old
We are preparing for the opening of beauty salons after quarantine.
For more than two months we have been sitting at home, dreaming with all our hearts about going to a beauty salon. Haircut, coloring, manicure, pedicure, eyebrow correction – and this is not a complete list of procedures that millions of women have planned inside and out. And when we talk about hair, we are not talking about “take away a few centimeters of length.” Our smartphones have dozens of samples of that coveted color and that incredible haircut. We appreciate your fighting spirit and desire to change, but we want to warn you: fashionable celebrity haircuts, unfortunately, do not suit everyone. And some options can even add several decades. We will talk about them in this article.
1. A bob with straight bangs

Smooth symmetrical lines emphasize wrinkles, adding even very young owners of a square with straight bangs several years (or even tens). We recommend that you abandon such a haircut in favor of multi-layered, lush options. This will make you look younger, and your hair will appear much thicker (yes, we also remember about the problem of hair loss).
2. Long hair with a straight cut
A haircut that goes like this for 20-year-olds looks, to put it mildly, ridiculous on women over 40. This is because over the years, long hair loses its shine and thickness. And do not be inspired by the images of Demi Moore and Jennifer Aniston, because actresses are rather an exception to the rule. Choose a medium shoulder length instead.
3. Haircuts without bangs
We’re talking about the slanting or torn bangs that this season (thanks to Normal People’s protagonist Daisy Edgar-Jones) has become incredibly popular. Why do haircuts without bangs age you? Everything is very simple: this way the forehead remains open, which means that the wrinkles on the face are especially noticeable. For clarity: the second picture of Monica Bellucci was taken 7 years later than the first. Let’s not argue, in both photos the actress is beautiful, but in the second she clearly looks younger.
4. Mallet
Miley Cyrus predicted the return of the haircut, popular among musical artists of the 70s, back in 2008. This season, the mullet has really become very popular. But you must admit that she makes even a 27-year-old singer much older. Therefore, we advise women over 40 to ignore this trend.
5. Pixie
Namely, its short version. Another haircut that adds years even to young girls. In addition to the fact that this length completely reveals the face (and therefore the wrinkles on it), it also makes the image angular, austere and less feminine. And if you still decide on a short pixie, think at least about the elongated bangs. You will always have time to cut it shorter.
