Cover frown and worry lines
A fringe can be handy for covering a wrinkled forehead, as well as framing your face and showing up your eyes. A partial fringe, swept casually over from a side parting, can be attractive. But if you’re not comfortable with the style, you can lighten and thin out your forward-sweeping lock by giving it a straight snip from front to back. For a sleek, youthful effect, let your fringe fall lower to the sides, skirting the ends of your eyebrows.
Cover sagging jowls
Cheeks tend to sag with age, causing a bulky or angular jaw line, and the effect is often extended down the neck as the skin loosens under the chin. By growing your hair below jaw level and letting it fall freely, you can effectively obscure this part of your profile. Your flowing locks will also bring grace and liveliness to your appearance. Never mind the color, or lack of it: A sweep of gleaming gray will look beautiful.
Frame your face
As you get older, your cheeks, lashes, and eyebrows may lose color, causing facial features to appear to fade. This effect increases when hair turns frizzy or wispy around the face, but a little tweaking of that hairline can work wonders.
If your hairline is starting to frizz, sweep stronger hair over from behind to create a smooth curve. Long wisps could be twisted round and tucked behind your ear, beneath those thicker locks, or held in an elegant curve with a smart clip. But you may find the best solution is just to brush your hair backward after washing, then bring it gently forward again when completely dry. The backward training will leave a spring at the roots, from which the strands will fall straight down, frizz-free.
Bring grace to neck and shoulders
Many women cut their hair shorter as they get older, but long, flowing hair can be beautiful at any age. The smooth fall of clean, healthy hair over neck and shoulders will not only look smart but will also screen any less smart areas, such as loose jaw line, rounded back, stiffened spine, and other signs of age, bringing a youthful swing to your movements. However, it’s important to keep long hair regularly trimmed, washed, and groomed for maximum spring and freshness at this stage in life.
Tuck white wisps away
Going gray is nothing to worry about. Indeed, gray can look great, as can white, silver, and a pepper-and-salt mix. In centuries gone by, there was a fashion among young men and women alike for wearing gray wigs. However, if you’d prefer to hide away your gray strands, that’s easy to do. Just cut off the most prominent ones on a weekly basis, combing the colored parts over. One effective solution is to make new, criss-cross partings, adding style and height in the process. If the odd silver strand still shows, count it as a highlight.
Keep fit and healthy
Healthy hair will look good in any natural tint, especially when you’re feeling well. By taking regular exercise and fresh air, keeping to a balanced diet, and making the most of all that’s good in your life, you’ll be doing your hair a big favor. Just take a look in the glass at that shining sheen of waterfall silvers and lavender grays. Who’d want to hide such hues?
Aging is a natural process, and goes hand-in-hand with growing wisdom and maturity, so be proud of your changing body. You may feel wistful as you see your youthful looks fade, but your grandchildren will cherish your soft hair and mellow features, so don’t change them too much! Let your ageless personality shine through.
