When it comes to anti-aging beauty, most of us spend all of our time and attention on our skincare and forget about our hair. But your hairstyle is one of the first things people notice about you, and giving extra love and care to your hair can transform your overall look.
Many women opt for shorter hair as we get older for a few reasons. Short hair is easier to care for, making it look more healthy and lively. Plus, short hair can have a rejuvenating feel, emitting a more youthful look.
There are many ways to style short hair and most short hairstyles can help you look younger. If your short hair is in need of a makeover, here’s what you should focus on:
Layers
People most commonly associate layers with long hair, but layering is just as important - if not more important - for short hair. Layers help create volume, which can appear very chic and youthful on short hair. For some women, short layers look even better than long layers.
Texture
Similar to layers, keeping a youthful texture to your short hair can help transform your look. Curls are a great solution to an anti-aging hair style, or you can simply style your hair with a texture cream to create more depth.
Hydrating Products
Whether you opt for texture, layers or a smoother look, keeping your hair hydrated is key. When hair dries out, it may look damaged or aged. Textured hair typically require more hydration than a smoother style, but either way you should incorporate a leave-in conditioning spray to keep your hair looking young.
Volumizing Shampoo
Washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo promotes a youthful look as it plumps up your hair's appearance. This can support the look of layers or texture, and might even be a solution to younger-looking hair on its own.
