Find your perfect shade.
According to Nick Willis, master stylist at Charles Worthington Salons, one of the biggest mistakes a person can make for their hair is choosing the wrong hair colour for their skin tone.
“As we age, our complexion evolves and we tend to lose pigment, known as melanocytes; this can make us look less radiant if we are choosing the wrong hair tones.”
He recommends using a purple shampoo to make grey hair look fresher and brighter, therefore lightening our complexion as well.
Choose the right length and style for maximum confidence.
Mr Willis said that choosing the right length for your hair greatly helps in making a person look less old.
He recommends longer haircuts, which are around mid to long length, for women. “With the right shape and layering techniques, you will have movement and volume, both huge factors in looking and feeling younger.”
On the other hand, Sam Hillerby, a stylist at John Frieda Salons, said that going for more off the top can make a person look fabulous too, just like Helen Mirren or Judy Dench. He suggests adding choppy layers to add texture and volume for a more youthful look.
They also added that consulting with your personal hairdresser about the style that flatters your face shape and hair texture the most is still the best way to go when deciding on a haircut.
Hairstylist Paco Latorre highlighted that what matters the most is that your hair matches your personality.
Take care of your hair health.
“Like we take care of our skin and face, we have to do the same with our hair,” said Mr Latorre.
According to them, shiny and well-moisturised hair makes a person look younger. They recommended asking for moisturising treatments from your local salon on your next visit. At home, they suggested using less shampoo and more conditioner during a shower.
“Also, be gentle with your tresses to avoid damage: don’t use an excess of thermal tools, and avoid pulling your hair too tight,” they added.
If you’re still undecided on what to do with your hair, here are some suggestions!
