Hairstyle after 50: here is the “worst” hairstyle according to experts, the one that ages the face the most

Questioned by the media Shefindsthe hairdresser Bob Siebert reminds us of the importance of choosing a haircut adapted to the shape of your face and the nature of your hair. According to him, there is also another criterion to take into account; a key point for displaying a modern and rejuvenating haircut after 50 years. According to the expert, a haircut (whether short or long) too degraded at the level of the forehead and the contours of the face is not the best choice to make.

Indeed, the forehead area is often a little more marked and wrinkled after the age of fifty. It is therefore appropriate, according to the hairdresser, to adopt haircuts which adorn the forehead and the oval of the face rather than models which reveal the entirety of this area. To avoid the “memerizing” effect, you must take into account the shape of your face and the nature of your hair but also the areas that you wish to highlight or conceal.

The #1 criterion to take into account after 50 when choosing your haircut

Also interviewed by the media, the hairdresser Janine Jarman advises against opting for a haircut “who doesn’t move”. To rejuvenate the face and bring modernity to the look after 50, a haircut must be moving and flexible and not “fixed”. “You want to have body and volume to a certain extent so that the fit looks good in different weather situations and is adaptable.” underlines the expert. This also adds more texture to the hair and creates an additional volume effect. A criterion which is not negligible when we know that hair tends to thin a lot after 50 years.

If you have a bob cut, avoid hairstyles with very straight lines and little layering. Conversely, favor layered, tapered models, or accompanied by bangs, which bring more life and movement to the hair. If you have shorter hair, opt for styles that feature different lengths like a pixie cut or a short undercut. Avoid uniform short cuts which will have a “helmet” effect and tend to age your face.
