Ageless Beauty: How to Choose the Perfect Short Hairstyle After 70
As we age, our hair changes, and so do our style preferences. Many women over 70 find that short hairstyles can highlight their features and provide a refreshing look. But how do you choose the right one for your personality and lifestyle? Here’s a guide to help you select the perfect short hairstyle that enhances your beauty at any age.
Consider Your Face Shape
The first step in choosing a flattering short hairstyle is to consider your face shape. Common shapes include oval, round, square, and heart-shaped. For instance, if you have an oval face, most styles will suit you well; however, if you have a round face, opting for longer layers can elongate your appearance. A square face might benefit from soft fringes or curls to soften strong jawlines.
Think About Hair Texture
Your hair’s texture plays a significant role in hairstyle selection. Fine hair often looks great with layered cuts that add volume and movement. For thicker hair types, shorter cuts like pixies or bobs can help manage bulk while still providing style options. Don’t forget to consider how much time you’re willing to spend on styling each day.
Maintenance Matters
As we age, many of us prefer low-maintenance hairstyles that require less frequent salon visits. Short hairstyles generally require more regular trims but are easier to style at home. Choosing a cut that works with your natural texture means spending less time on daily grooming while still looking fabulous.
Versatility is Key
A good hairstyle should be versatile enough for different occasions—whether you’re heading out for brunch or attending a formal event. Consider styles that can be easily dressed up or down; for example, adding accessories like clips or headbands can elevate a casual cut into something more glamorous.
Consult With Your Stylist
Always consult with your hairstylist when considering new haircuts. They are trained professionals who understand how different styles will work with your individual hair type and personal preferences. Bring along pictures of styles you like—this visual aid will help convey what you’re looking for effectively.
Choosing the perfect short hairstyle after 70 is all about embracing change while celebrating ageless beauty. By considering factors such as face shape, hair texture, maintenance needs, versatility options, and professional advice from hairstylists, you’ll discover a stunning new look that expresses who you are today.
