A haircut is a way for any woman to change her image. A well-chosen hairstyle can make a woman younger and more beautiful, while an unsuccessful haircut can add many years to a woman.

We explain which haircuts are best avoided after 40 and why.

Just not bouffant

Hairstyle with bouffant has long been in the past. If you add volume to your hair with the help of bouffant, definitely, you will not look younger, and with a dozen extra years you will add to yourself.

Hairstyles in pin-up style, retro hairstyles

Bangs add extra years

Bangs are another mistake for women over 40. If it is thick, you, of course, will close the wrinkles on the forehead, but so you will greatly weigh down the lower face, which will add age.

And if the bangs are also short, then the line of the tuft will emphasize the wrinkles that appear on the forehead. Bangs after 40 years as if emphasizes that you really want to look younger.

It is better to forget about long hair

Although for many women long hair is associated with youth, nothing ages her so much.

Over time, the hair is depleted, loses its elasticity, thickness and shine. Long hair, both straight and with long curls on women who are more than 40 years old, does not look beautiful.

Hairstyles with ponytails

Tails are suitable for schoolgirls and students, but they are not suitable for adult women. Especially when hair becomes thin and dull with age, ponytails on women over 40 often look ridiculous.
