3 Bang Hairstyles Every Woman Over 40 Should Try To Instantly Look 10 Years Younger

Grown-Out Bangs

Rather than constantly trimming your bangs, embrace them as they grow! When styled correctly, grown-out bangs can help you look youthful while still framing your face. Similar to curtain bangs, which are popular right now, grown-out bangs are a longer style.

By adding some layers to your grown-out bangs to frame your face, this look can be a youthful take on a classic hairstyle.

Brow-Skimming Bangs

A longer, brow-skimming bang hairstyle can give you a more youthful appearance. If you need proof, check out Helen Mirren's look.

"Helen's brow-skimming fringe adds such a youthful element to her short cut," Chicago-based stylist/colorist Jessica Stuart-Lukosus tells Good Housekeeping. "This look frames the top of her face, enhancing both her eyes and cheekbones." Next time you get your hair done, keep this bang length tip in mind.

Piecey Fringe

A piecey bang hairstyle can help keep your look fresh. Blunt bangs can cut across your face too sharply if you're not careful, making you look older instead of younger. Adding more texture with a piecey style instead can be a great alternative, softening a harsh look while still disguising any unwanted forehead lines.
