Once you are over 30 years old, age becomes a sensitive point for women, especially women over 40. Accordingly, "age reduction" has become an urgent need. It’s just that at this age, skin care, makeup, and medical beauty are all difficult to resist the erosion of time. What's more, people tend to only focus on the face and figure, but ignore the hairstyle.

As the saying goes, "If your hairstyle doesn't suit you, your appearance will be compromised." Your hairstyle determines your temperament. So, how should women over 40 choose hairstyles to reduce their age and enhance their temperament? Regarding the beauty of hairstyle, we mainly discuss it based on five factors: mentality, face shape, hair color, hair volume and facial features.

When choosing a hairstyle, we first need to calm down. Choosing the right hairstyle is equivalent to micro plastic surgery, not a head transplant. For women over 40, most of their overall temperaments are mature and not suitable for cute and childish styles. Therefore, our core concept in choosing hairstyles is to use hairstyle modifications to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, achieve a visual sense of age reduction, and enhance the overall image. That is, making a 50-year-old look 40 or 35, not 18 or 20.

So, how to achieve the feeling of "youth"? It’s about creating a sense of relativity. For example, lightness is more energetic than heaviness. Light colors are more refreshing than dark colors. Of course, this is just a simple example, and you have to make a judgment based on your own characteristics when choosing.

When choosing a hairstyle, women often encounter various troubles. For example, if you complain about the bad shape of your face, if you have an oval face, you can choose any hairstyle! Or, they are unable to express their needs specifically and accurately (such as "fix it a little bit", "look younger and smaller", "appear to have less hair", "not the same as before"), so that Teacher Tony can't do anything. As fierce as a tiger, he looks like two hundred and fifty when he looks in the mirror. In fact, face shape and hairstyle are like cups and cup lids that need to match each other. If you have similar troubles, you must first understand the hairstyles that match different face shapes.

1. Round face

The advantages of a round face are soft facial lines, unobvious cheekbones, wide forehead, and short chin. It is easy to appear young, cute, and more approachable. However, round faces are actually not suitable for blocking.

First, avoid thick straight bangs, which will greatly shorten the proportions of the face, make the chin shorter, and make the overall face look shorter and rounder. Second, girls with round faces usually fall into the misunderstanding of covering both sides of the face by parting in the middle to make their face look smaller. This is not entirely correct. Whether a middle parting is suitable mainly depends on the characteristics of your chin. If your chin is short and round, a middle parting will make your facial flaws more obvious.

If you want to modify your face shape, you need to adjust the length of your face shape. Increasing the height of the skull will lengthen the overall visual proportions of the head. The fluffy ball head is a good choice. The key is to create a fluffy feeling on the top of the head and leave small pieces of hair on both sides to modify the face shape.

Partial parting is also suitable for round faces. Although it is not suitable for center parting to cover the face, it is a bonus to cover one side. If you want to have curly hair, you should avoid the hair on both sides of the face. Naturally straight hair has a better effect on shrinking the width of the face. In addition, you can make fluffy curls near the end of the hair to make the hair narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which also has a better face-slimming effect.

At the same time, the lob hair style is also suitable for round faces. This hairstyle is very suitable for women with flat facial features and fleshy faces. Designs such as side-parting hair and inner-buttoned hair can play a role in covering the flesh and blurring the hairline. At the same time, shoulder length hair is more appropriate.

2. Long face

Long face generally has a higher forehead and longer chin, which makes it easy to look old and haggard. People with long faces should avoid thick straight bangs. If you are not the type with delicate facial features, this hairstyle will make your face feel oppressive, making your face look very flat. At the same time, because long faces are visually thinner, long and straight black hairstyles are generally not suitable. Because the overall vision of this hairstyle extends downward, it will lengthen the vision of your face and give people a dull feeling.

Then, women with long faces need to widen and soften their facial lines. French bangs and air bangs are very suitable for women with long faces. This hairstyle can also improve problems such as high foreheads and receding hairlines. It can also visually shorten the proportions of the face, greatly reducing age. Of course, you should also pay attention to the fact that the bangs should not be too snug, but need a little curvature or small hair breaks, so as to achieve the effect of visual transfer and make the face appear more rounded and full. You can create an outward curling design at the end of your hair to increase the sense of playfulness. You can refer to Ren Suxi’s style here.

Big wavy hair is the first choice for many women with long faces. Among celebrities, you can refer to Karen Mok. Make some subtle coverage and relatively large curvature around the cheeks to create a fluffy feeling, which can widen the face horizontally.

There are also some tips: The top of the head should not be too fluffy, but some fluffiness can be created on both sides of the head, which can balance the proportions of the head and face.

In short, whether you have short or long hair, people with long faces should avoid too many vertical lines around the face. Curls and fluffiness can better balance the face shape.

3. Square face

The characteristic of a square face is that the forehead, cheekbones, and mandible are of equal width, and the chin line is obviously strong. There are many models with this face shape, which is considered a relatively advanced and majestic face shape. However, because the lines on the face are sharp and angular, it looks more masculine, so the hairstyle selection focuses on creating a softer feel.

Therefore, people with square faces should avoid straight hair perm, because this kind of hair style with too strong lines will aggravate the strong lines of the face and make your temperament more rigid. Square faces are also not suitable for thick straight bangs. Bangs will compress the length of the face and shift the visual focus downward. Your cheeks will be more prominent, making your face feel short, square and bulging. It is not recommended to reveal the entire face if you have a square face. If you choose to tie your hair up, you need to leave a little bit of hair on both sides to slightly modify your face.

Long curly hair with big waves is very suitable for square faces. Curved hair hangs down, which can cover part of the face and create a sense of visual extension. Moreover, the soft and curly lines can neutralize the harsh lines on the face. Different from long faces, square faces can create a fluffy feeling on the top of the skull, and some curls can also be made directly above the forehead, which can lengthen the proportions of your face through soft curl lines.

The lob hair style that is longer than the cheeks is also suitable for square faces. Here you can refer to the style of supermodel Du Juan. People with square faces are generally more concerned about their cheeks being too prominent. Then, make an inner buckle shape near the cheek, which can weaken the hardness of the cheek and make your temperament more gentle.

4. Diamond-shaped face

The characteristic of a diamond-shaped face is that the width of the cheekbones is greater than the width of the forehead and chin. Generally, the lines are obvious and more three-dimensional. At the same time, it is also because the cheekbones are more prominent, which increases the sense of distance and aggression. For diamond-shaped faces, try not to expose the entire forehead, because partially covering the forehead will cover up the problem of a narrow forehead. At the same time, find a way to cover your cheekbones.

Medium-parted large wavy curls are very friendly to diamond-shaped faces. The middle parting can cover the cheekbones, and the large wavy curly lines can soften the edges and corners of the face, weaken some of the sharpness, and make the face softer. It should be noted that the curly hair on the cheekbones needs to be rolled inward to cover the cheekbones.

Haircuts are very friendly to diamond-shaped faces, and thicker haircuts that are fuller are best. This can adjust the shape of your head, making it look bigger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and visually increase the width of the forehead. If you choose bangs that are divided into 37 or 64 parts, you can design them to be asymmetrical. The side with more bangs can grow below the cheekbones, and the other side can be tucked behind the ear.

5. Oval face and heart-shaped face

Oval face and heart-shaped face are relatively perfect face shapes. They are equivalent to a versatile white T-shirt. They are very compatible and can be held in place. Almost all hairstyles. So, just choose the hairstyle according to your preference and the sophistication of your hair.

In addition, for women over 40, facial lines will inevitably droop due to gravity. Then, when creating a hairstyle, you can adopt the strategy of "heavy on the top and light on the bottom" to enhance the visual focus and neutralize the visual sagging feeling.

In addition to the important factor of face shape, hair volume, hair color and facial features will also affect the choice of hairstyle. As age increases, hair loss and receding hairline have become a nightmare for women over 40. There are some tips on how to make your hair appear thicker and your hairline more perfect. In order to increase the sense of age reduction, you can also try bleaching and dyeing your hair. At the same time, in order to maintain the balance of the face, the size and three-dimensionality of the facial features also need to be considered comprehensively.

1. Hair volume

When they reach the age of 4, most people will not worry about having too much hair. So, let’s focus on tips on how to make your hair appear more.

The reasons for less hair are nothing more than low natural hair volume, hair loss, and thin hair, which will make the hairstyle less full and prone to baldness. The solution is to create a fluffy feel and increase the proportion of the skull. It is more recommended here to choose a curly hair style, and at the same time blow-dry your hair in reverse directions from back to front after washing your hair. At the same time, you can use wavy hair to work overtime on the roots to increase the gap between the hairs and physically increase the height of the hair. Compared with drooping hair, the visual "breathing" is stronger and more energetic.

As for the hairline that is relatively far back or not perfect (such as a U-shaped hairline), you can choose to cover it with bangs (air bangs, French bangs, 37-part bangs or 64-part bangs). Or decorate it with some small pieces of hair.

2. Hair color

In comparison, light colors are more energetic than dark colors.

However, if your personality is not very outstanding, then you should avoid hair colors that are too bright, such as pink, fantasy purple, flax green, etc.; earth tones or darker colors are good choices, such as dark coffee, reddish brown , light brown, linen green, etc. Of course, it’s best if your hair color complements your skin tone. In other words, match cool-toned skin with warm-toned hair color, and warm-toned skin with cool-toned hair color.

In this regard, we can refer to the choices of Zhao Wei and Liu Tao. In recent years, their looks have become more youthful, especially Zhao Wei, who has a girlish look. Although their hair styles are different, the only thing they have in common is that they choose a lighter hair color. Light-colored hair is also easier to show layers when styling and has greater plasticity.

3. Facial features

If the eyes are large and the facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, the hair style will be more compatible, especially short hair. It can be said that Ning Jing is a representative of this type. Her face is very three-dimensional and her facial features are excellent, especially her big eyes that are very eye-catching.

If you have watched "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", you will find that Ning Jing herself is like living in a barber shop and has tried various colorful hair colors. Coupled with her ever-changing outfits, she is sometimes mature, sometimes cute, and sometimes aggressive. Age, what is it?

If your nose is not three-dimensional enough, you can choose to cover one side of your face and put the other side behind your ears. If your nose is too big, try to expose your face as much as possible to make your nose smaller in proportion to your face, thereby weakening its presence. If the lower part of your face is unsightly, you can expose your forehead as much as possible to emphasize your eyebrows and make the visual focus of your face move upward; vice versa.

In general, the first priority when choosing a hairstyle is to suit yourself, followed by age reduction or other considerations. Whether a hairstyle is suitable for you requires a comprehensive analysis of your facial features, hair volume, hair color preferences, facial features and other factors to judge. I hope that today’s sharing can help you choose which hairstyle is suitable for you, and at the same time, you can better express your needs when communicating with the barber in the future.
