Haircuts for curly hair after 40. Anti-aging haircuts for women on medium, long, short hair, with and without styling. Who suits how to do styling. A photo. What haircuts are suitable for wide-faced girls

After 40 years, as a rule, women become more practical, try to save time, as they have already accumulated a certain life experience and do not want to waste it in vain. You no longer want to spend a lot of time on your hair, especially since there are so many options for hairstyles without the need for styling.

In such cases, hairdressers are advised to choose short haircuts to always look fashionable and original.

The classic bob remains the most popular haircut. She is comfortable and practical. Ideal for women with an oval face.

The caret technique is single-line with a draw angle of 0°. Each subsequent strand is cut with an elongation of 1-2 mm. To achieve the effect of bending the strands inwards, lengthening is done by 2-5 mm. Thick hair is allowed up to 1 cm, as well as thinning strands at an angle of 45 ° to reduce volume.

You can beat the hairstyle:

  • modeling bangs;
  • curling hair in curlers;
  • straightening with an iron;
  • lightly wetting the ends of the strands with wax so that they fall apart;
  • dyeing hair with fashionable techniques.

The bangs in the square will hide the flaws of the face, and emphasize the dignity.

Straight thick bangs with a straight line at the level of the eyebrows:

  • reduce too large forehead;
  • balance a diamond-shaped face;
  • emphasize cheekbones;
  • make the eyes stand out.

The torn ends of the bangs will add piquancy to the image. Oblique bangs and milled ends of the caret just below the face - visually elongate a rounded and square shape. An elongated bang can be pulled down the temples or thrown back so that it falls in a light wave, this will add romance to the image. And the shortest bangs will rejuvenate. Its oval shape, smoothly transitioning from bangs to squares, will soften the lines of a triangular face.

Kare with lengthening

The elongated caret has soft feminine shapes. Suitable for both thick and fine hair. It differs from the classic form of a square with elongation by the difference in length between the strands at the temples and the back of the head.

A haircut is considered a French romantic version of a square. It will look equally stylish on women of all ages. Corrects the imperfections of a round, square, triangular face, elongated strands at the temples. Strands below the chin will elongate a rounded face.

Along the jaw line - hide a wide massive chin. Soft waves will balance the triangular face. For representatives with an elongated face, lengthening in a square is contraindicated.

Women who are inherent in the spirit of adventurism can be recommended an option where the difference between the length of the strands is maximum and the back of the head is shaved. Extravagant ladies will like the asymmetrical shape, which can be beaten with oblique bangs, curly parting and fixing one side of the hairstyle behind the ear with invisibility.

Bean

The traditional bob haircut is the perfect solution for women over 40. As you can see in the photo, it is good even without styling. It is enough to dry your hair with a hairdryer and the strands will settle down in the right direction.

This is a versatile hairstyle. On the young, she looks bold. Mature women will add style. The zest will be given by various coloring techniques: from romantic ombre to bright coloring. The technique for performing it is to cut the strands in a straight line, parallel to the hairline, with a draw angle of 90 °. It is important that the ends of the hair create a single soft line throughout the volume.

Bob in various versions is the favorite haircut of Hollywood actors, and there are many options:

  • classical;
  • bob-car;
  • bob with round, square or triangular graduation;
  • bean on a knife;
  • with various forms of bangs;
  • with shaved temples or one of them;
  • with a raised head;
  • with extension
  • with asymmetry.

For sparse hair, a graduated bob adds weight and thickness. Thin - volume and roundness. Thick, laid in a bob-car, will take on a soft shape and lightness.

bob

It has a cut parallel to the jaw line. The strands in front can differ up to several centimeters from those on the back of the head. And the top layer of hair can be shorter by tens of centimeters. The difference in the length of the layers visually stretches the shape, bringing it closer to the oval.

The haircut looks good on owners of a round or full face. It does not require special styling. Well emphasize the individuality of middle-aged women. And due to the oblique bangs, it will noticeably rejuvenate.

Bob with piping

Its other name is "Bob Christi", and Paris is considered to be its homeland. The peculiarity of the hairstyle is that the haircut line is open at the temples. The control short strand is selected in the middle of the back of the head. It guides the entire form.

Bob on short hair completely opens the neck. In this case, the edging of the hairstyle becomes important. It is performed with a razor or a typewriter, removing excess short hairs on the neck along the growth line.

This makes the hair look neater. The edging of the temporal zone sets the direction of the strands. A stylish bob with piping will hide the problem areas of the upper part of the face, and add elegance to a middle-aged woman.

Page

Haircut "Page" for women came into fashion in the 60s, decorating the head of the French singer Mireille Mathieu. The shape is easy to recognize: perfectly smooth hair forms a single line with bangs, without sharp drops and angles. One of the main features is also a smooth bang. As a rule, the ends of the hair are turned inward, but you can achieve a playful look by turning them out when styling.

The haircut line is selected from the features of the face - above or below the chin, but in no case along it. The page is not suitable for naturally curly hair. But straight hair will retain its shape even in bad weather.

Women over 40 should choose a hairstyle if they have sharp facial features. This haircut on short hair, as in the photo, will look good on petite women of all ages.

But it is worth remembering that you can’t do without blow-drying with brushing. The flow of warm air should be directed from the roots to the tips, smoothing the scales of the hair, from which a slight shine appears.

The page will cover an elderly forehead, securely hide large or protruding ears, cover the neck, but also accentuate unwanted elements of appearance:

  • big cheeks;
  • heavy chin;
  • rounded full face;
  • triangular and square face shapes;
  • bruises and bags under the eyes;
  • drooping eyelids.

Gavroche

The peak of popularity came in the 70-80s of the last century. The second name of the swift is Mullen. It was worn by rock musicians. The spirit of rebellion and adventurism are characteristic features of the owners of gavroche. For women of small build, with a small head, gavrosh with a voluminous crown is perfect. Long hair at the back will cover the neck, hiding imperfections.

It is also a good choice for obese women- the volume on the head is combined with a rather big figure. And messy strands around the face and oblique bangs will hide excessive puffiness.

The hairstyle will look equally good on hard and soft hair, but the images of these two options are completely different: bold and gentle. For women over 40 gavrosh, it is possible to add highlighting, which will significantly rejuvenate the image.

Beanie

The cap also complements short haircuts for women over 40 (photo). Without styling, this hairstyle looks quite natural. Its dawn falls on the 60s of the last century. The cut hair at the back of the head supports the elongated strands of the crown, thereby forming a hat. The neck remains completely open, lengthening a short one or showing off its natural grace.

On an oval face, a cap will emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes. Her slightly elongated ragged strands at the temples will narrow the rounded face. The dark tones of the hat will correct the triangular shape. And light ones will balance the heavy lower part of a square face. Recommended for thin hair due to the graduated shape. But coarse thick hair is considered ideal for its execution.

It is not advisable for women with a sunken or double chin to choose a hat, this will only emphasize the disadvantage. You can model a hairstyle according to age and appearance with various coloring, adjusting the length of the strands or adding asymmetry.

Ladder

The total length of the ladder on short hair is 20 cm. The haircut starts from the back of the head, where the control strand is 5 cm. This option suits a round and oval face. For representatives of other forms, it is better to choose a ladder at an average length or as a contour element in combination with other hairstyles.

Haircut "Ladder" is suitable for any hair, any age and overweight women. It is modeled by the shape of the bangs and thinning. A few combing movements with fingers with wax will give clarity to the ladder. And the ombre will add an accent.

Cascade

A short cascade corrects the oval of the face and its age-related changes. Conceals mimic wrinkles. Hides the neck. The haircut is suitable for any type of face, except for a round one. Translucent bangs with tousled ends in different directions will not weigh down the look with lowered eyelids, but will hide wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Chaotic locks on the temples, directed to the face - emphasize the cheekbones, narrow the cheeks.

The haircut technique coincides with the ladder. The control strand is pulled back 90°. The remaining strands are pulled tightly to it along horizontal lines. The nuances of the haircut are added by thinning and playing with the lengths of the strands. Adds volume to thin hair. It goes well with highlighting and coloring.

grunge cascade

Tousled, tangled hair is the basis of the grunge style (from the English grung, “neglect”). Lack of styling or easy fixation of the “mess” on the head with wax and varnish.

To get grunge, it is enough to twist wet hair into bundles, blow-dry and tousle. The basis, of course, should be any short graduated haircut.

pixie

Elongated strands at the crown, and short strands at the temples and back of the head - this is the form of the almost boyish pixie haircut. Curls add romanticism to the female image. As a styling, combing with fingers with a fixing agent is suitable.

This is the shortest haircut loved by middle-aged ladies. A winning option for thin hair. It can be performed with a bang, but more often without it. Successfully stretches a rounded face due to the volume at the crown and its absence at the temples. On the same basis, the hairstyle is suitable for overweight women. Stylists recommend combining pixies with light and bright, expressive tones.

Garson

Oddly enough, to emphasize their femininity, ladies borrow style details from men. This also applies to the haircut "Garson", which means "guy" in French. It was introduced into women's fashion in the 1920s by Jacques Dessange.

The peculiarity of the haircut is the shortest perfectly even strands that fall into the desired shape due to intensive thinning. Modern stylists have created many options for the execution of hairstyles: from the shortest possible to options with elongation and bangs. It can be performed on thin soft hair. On hard, its shape is clearer and sharper. But absolutely garcon does not fit curly.

Well emphasizes the expressive features of the face: big eyes, high cheekbones, and also opens the graceful line of the neck. She is advised to miniature women without asymmetrical forms. But overweight women can also afford a hairstyle where oblique bangs will hide all the flaws.

By the way, the bangs may be absent or be very short arched. This will suit confident women with a beautiful forehead. In care, the garcon requires special attention: at least once a month it must be adjusted. And the styling is easy, fast and varied.

Boyish negligence can be easily exchanged for business smoothness. Accessories in the form of headbands, flowers or ribbons will add tenderness to the image. Natural hair colors are the best combination with a haircut. But she just needs a bright, expressive make-up.

Hedgehog

Another radical option to emphasize the ideal shape of the head and facial features is the Hedgehog haircut. Its essence is very short hair, evenly covering the entire head. Performed with a machine and scissors.

But here, too, options are possible. The traditional look is a thick dark layer of hair throughout the volume. Stylish look - longer strands on top, sticking out like hedgehog needles. A creative look is a hedgehog with bangs, the shape of which can be chosen to taste. Youth look - a hedgehog with shaved patterns on the temples.

Women cannot choose a hedgehog:

  • with an irregular head shape and disproportionate facial features;
  • with a short neck;
  • massive;
  • with soft or thin hair;
  • with round or square shape;
  • with heavy lower face;
  • with a wide forehead.

How to choose a short haircut without styling for women after 40?

Summing up all of the above, we can derive the principles for choosing a short haircut for women after 40 years.

According to build

If a woman is large, then for proportionality, volume on the head is needed. You should choose haircuts with graduation, a raised nape and fairly long strands: bob, gavrosh, cascade. It is better to refuse haircuts "Garson" and "Hedgehog".

Petite slender women can afford embossed and smooth hairstyles. But low representatives with rounded shapes should abandon straight thick bangs.

By hair type

Soft and thin hair, as a rule, does not hold the shape of smooth hairstyles well. There is definitely a need for grading. A cascade and a ladder will look good. For coarse hair, the shortest haircuts are good: Pixie, Garcon and Hedgehog.

On thick hair look square, page, hat. Excessive volume of thick thick hair can be removed by thinning and slicing. And curly hair is suitable for multi-level haircuts, for example, “Cascade” or “Bob”.

According to the features of appearance

This includes those shortcomings that I would like to hide, and those advantages that are worth emphasizing. Owners of a beautiful, correctly shaped head can emphasize this with very short haircuts, of a classic design.

If the correct facial features are also attached to the form, then the effect of the simplest hedgehog will be amazing. But by the age of 40, a woman's appearance already has noticeable age-related changes in the form of wrinkles, sagging skin, bags under the eyes, and pigmentation.

All this can be hidden with hairstyles:

  • to transfer attention from the face to the haircut with a fashionable accent;
  • direct strands of hair to the oval of the face;
  • make milled light bangs to eye level;
  • use a ladder in the temporal zone;
  • choose a pronounced asymmetry;
  • use fashion trends staining.

According to the shape of the face

When choosing a haircut according to the shape of the face, it is worth remembering the main rule. An oval face is considered ideal. Therefore, it is necessary to bring any other shape with the help of hair to the ideal.

Stylists believe that absolutely any haircut is suitable for an oval face. You can choose the base own will. If there are individual features in the appearance that are worth hiding, then any base haircut can be modeled with modern techniques.

So, a too long nose will be balanced by a thick bang or ladder, where the shortest strands are above the temple. An oval, but elongated face also requires correction. Haircuts short in front and elongated in the back are well suited: “Page”, “Gavrosh”, “Bob-car”.

Haircuts for a rounded face should contain details that will visually lengthen it: elongated strands at the temples at the level of the chin or below it; crown volume. Bob-caret, elongated caret, hat - these are priority forms. The page should be abandoned.

Gavroche is possible if the strands at the temples are elongated. Do not use haircuts where the temporal strands are higher than the chin. Thick straight or oval bangs are not recommended. Haircuts that open the face completely will only emphasize roundness.

The angularity of the face will well hide the asymmetry and oblique lines. Bangs to the side, curly or side parting will add femininity. The same effect is expected from soft waves. Smooth thick bangs - an option for a triangular face.

Kare, bob, page - a good choice for women with a square face, if the temporal strands are higher or lower than the chin, and the bangs are elongated and combed to the side. Haircuts with an open face will highlight the corners of the face, and deprive of tenderness.

The elegance of the lines is emphasized by hairstyles with an open neck and a cropped nape: cap, pixie, garcon. Short hair at the temples - visually expand the face. For a narrow face, temporal asymmetry can also be advised, which will add piquancy to the image.

Ladder, edging the face should be avoided, as well as oblique bangs. A straight line above the eyebrows of a long or short bang will expand the face, emphasize the cheekbones. You can experiment with a page haircut by dyeing your hair using the ombre technique.

With short haircuts that do not require styling, for full-faced women after 40 years old, you should be careful. But, as you can see in the photos, nothing is impossible. To narrow the face will allow facial extensions in the caret and bob-caret. You can not do without oblique bangs.

Volume at the crown will elongate the face if it is full and rounded. Elongated parietal strands in a hat, combed to one side, will add style and remove the emphasis from the fullness of the face. Dark or juicy tones will do. Do not overdo it with bright unnatural colors.

At 40, a woman is self-confident. She should be stylish at work, romantic with her husband, practical in housework and active with children. But there is so little time, and so much to do. Because short haircuts that do not require complex styling, great option for the modern middle-aged woman.

Fashionable short haircuts for women after 40

If youth is characterized by feigned recklessness and some inconsistency of the created image, then in adulthood, especially for women, style consistency is necessary, where clothes, accessories, makeup and hairstyle should complement each other unobtrusively, while leaving room for creativity.

Peculiarities

Formation of an image that reflects the main character traits of a woman of mature age, should come from the answers to two basic questions:

  • what it really is;
  • who she wants to look like in the eyes of others.

A well-chosen haircut should simultaneously take into account both the characteristic features of the created image and individual anatomical features: the shape of the face, neck, nose and chin. The master must accurately determine these features and, through certain manipulations, skillfully hide flaws and emphasize virtues.

Currently, after reaching the age of 40, women are less likely to resort to plastic surgery. Natural beauty at this age is now a priority, and light elements of age-related fading - wrinkles around the eyes and folds around the lips, give a special charm to mature women in all respects, radiating additional sexuality.

A well-chosen haircut should have a visually rejuvenating effect, helping to hide imperfections caused by aging, such as wrinkles, gray hair and sagging skin. The length, shape and configuration of the haircut should be selected according to the appearance, taking into account the shape of the face, forehead, nose and neck.

A haircut can be complemented by coloring that hides gray hair. But after 40, you should already avoid reddish shades that emphasize skin pigmentation, as well as blue-black colors that contribute to the visibility of wrinkles. It must be borne in mind that after 40 years, hair length below the shoulders, tufts, curls, nests and bouffants only age a woman.

It should also be taken into account that after 40 years, the content of keratin in the hair decreases, giving it a healthy look and volume. Hair becomes thinner and thinner, which emphasizes age. In this situation, the best solution is to use layered haircuts that create a three-dimensional effect.

What haircuts make women look younger?

When a woman is slightly over 40, she is not yet fully aware that maturity has come and some stereotypes need to be changed and her image corrected. Short skirts and long hair still prevail in everyday life, but new wrinkles and other signs of a transition to a different level of life are already becoming noticeable.

At this time, one should not be afraid of inevitable changes and rush to make newfangled anti-aging injections, and even more so rush to plastic surgeons. You just need to go to the mirror and take a sober look at yourself, realizing what it is time to change.

And you need to start with a hairstyle and, first of all, remove excess hair, choosing a lighter neat haircut for your face. If it is a pity to part with long hair, then you need to consider options for hairstyles that provide for an open neck.

The most noticeable rejuvenating effect is achieved through well-chosen voluminous haircuts. These are layered hairstyles designed for any hair length.

For a short length

Haircuts such as page, pixie, cascade are the most common among short hairstyles of a voluminous type. The standard version of the page haircut provides for smooth lines, a straight bang, which smoothly transitions from a shortened frontal part to an elongated occipital part of the head. This haircut has the following features:

  • focuses on the outline of the neck;
  • performs visual correction of the ears;
  • unpretentious to laying;
  • looks harmonious with a length from the middle of the forehead, smoothly passing to the middle of the neck from behind.

For medium hair

Creating voluminous hairstyles for medium length hair is not an easy task. For this purpose, cascading haircuts, as well as a bob and an elongated bean, are the most optimal. Cascading haircuts are the most versatile for hair of any length. The main principle of their execution is the processing of hair strands by chaotic cutting at different lengths. At the same time, the hair is cut shorter at the crown, and the strands gradually lengthen towards the back of the head and frontal part. This type of haircut can be applied to any face shape.

For long hair

Creating a voluminous hairstyle focused on long hair is a very complex process that requires skill and endurance. It is much more difficult to give volume to the elongated part of the hair than in the parts closer to the hair roots. Here it is necessary to use curling and the method of soft waves. Initially, the cascade haircut was aimed specifically at hairstyles with long hair, often combined with braids.

Hairstyles that do not require styling

A lot of time is spent on hair care, in particular, on their styling. You can save a lot of time by using no-styling hairstyles. Such haircuts, as a rule, have a short hair length, but they look very impressive. For women who are already over 40, such haircuts also give a visual effect of rejuvenation, giving freshness to the image and hiding age-related costs. The most common types of such hairstyles are as follows.

  • Bean- the most popular haircut among women with straight hair, regardless of age. There are several varieties of this haircut, but it is based on an oval contour, which has a clear border at the level of the neck in the back of the head. The most common bob-car, multi-layered and asymmetrical.

  • Kare- for many years, this haircut is the most popular, as it does not require special care. It resembles a bean, but without a raised nape, while the hair both back and sides have a uniform fringing. This haircut has various variations, mainly according to the type of bangs used.

  • Garson- in Russia, this name is interpreted as "under the boy." In our society, until recently, this was a favorite haircut for women in old age, but now its popularity has increased both among young girls and adult ladies.

  • Cascade- creates volume by overlaying in layers, where each subsequent one is longer than the previous one.

Choice of bangs

Bangs are a universal attribute of most hairstyles. It gives the opportunity to quickly correct the female image, giving a certain emotional coloring in just a few unpretentious movements. By giving the bangs a certain shape and position, the image can instantly change from business to outright hooligan.

For older women, bangs are a more versatile element that has a significant anti-aging effect when used correctly. If the bangs are designed correctly, given the shape of the face, then it will successfully emphasize the merits and smooth out the flaws. An oval face type is considered ideal. The purpose of the bangs is to bring the visual perception of other shapes closer to the oval and not spoil the natural harmony of the oval type.

Neat bangs can serve as an excellent screen for forehead wrinkles. But it should be slightly chaotic and uneven with deliberate carelessness combed to the side so as not to emphasize the flaws of the face, as if shading them. The asymmetry of the bangs also does not focus on the structure of the nose and gives expressiveness to the eyes.

Bangs are of the following types.

  • Straight short- has a horizontal cut line, up to the eyebrows or almost reaching the superciliary arches. This shape is suitable for an elongated face type.

  • oblique- applicable, as a rule, for a square front type.

  • graduated- bangs are processed at different angles, using curls of different lengths. Randomly thinned strands create a feeling of some negligence, which maximally diverts attention to the eyes. This type is suitable for almost any facial shape and is optimal for a high forehead.

  • Volumetric - Can be used with both long and short hair. This type is preferred for coloring and is universal in application to any face shape.

  • torn bangs- Preferred for women over 40, giving the image a sexual aggressiveness that contrasts with softness. This type well masks wrinkles, focusing on the eyes. And oblique torn bangs are optimal for a round face type.

  • arcuate- suits any facial type and is used by women who prefer classic style in clothes.

  • curly - has a clear cut pattern in the form of pronounced angles located above the superciliary arches.

  • multilayer- it can be both straight and torn.

  • Asymmetrical- opens the forehead on one side almost completely, and on the other closes most of it.

  • Extended - it is combed to one side and ends at the level of the middle of the cheek or chin.

Properly processed strands of bangs will create additional attractiveness to the image, subjecting the light to the shape of the face, eyebrows, nose and lips, smoothing out natural imperfections and age-related changes, as well as emphasizing the dignity.

How to choose?

What women after 40 do not go to look younger: from plastic surgery, expensive injections to debilitating diets. Although you can hide some of the signs of aging with the right hairstyle without putting yourself in danger and wasting money.

Hairstyle at any age should be selected based on the natural shape of the face. The oval type is considered close to ideal. For people with other anatomical features, the goal of choosing a hairstyle is to create a visual effect in which the shape of the face is as close to an oval as possible.

Face shapes are as follows:

  • oval- almost all types of hairstyles are suitable for this type, but bob, wavy medium length, square are optimal;

  • triangular shape- sharp chin (recommended hairstyles with oblique bangs, covering the cheekbones to the middle);

The other day, a well-known beauty blogger saw a message in the comments: “I'm 42, and I don't want to turn into either a typical aunt from jokes, in a dressing gown and with curlers on my head, or into an eternally rejuvenating woman. I used to get advice from fashion magazines. Now I look at the photos of girls 20-25 years old, and I understand: this is no longer about me. And so I want to see myself and about myself in the articles”.

Honestly, after that I felt ashamed. After all, I also pay more attention to my blog fashion trends that are relevant for girls under 30. But today I promise to improve and talk about stylish haircuts for women over 40(many photos guaranteed)! After all, I sincerely believe that female beauty is a concept beyond age. And no matter how many years the passport indicates, who will believe it if the eyes glow with harmony and self-love? A stylish haircut makes your reflection in the mirror several times more attractive!

Stylish haircuts for women over 40

Most women during this period only become more beautiful, but beauty must be properly emphasized. And, first of all, attention should be paid to the haircut. It can both make you visually younger by five to seven years, and add extra years. Therefore, I will start with general, but very important recommendations!


1. Consider your hair type.
When deciding on a particular haircut, you should first of all take into account the type of hair, because it depends on how the hairstyle will look.

For owners oily hair short or elongated haircuts are best, in which the hair does not fit snugly. This feature helps to make the haircut easier and more interesting.

For dry hair simple haircuts that do not require special styling will be optimal. Since frequent shampooing and styling will only hurt more.

Fine hair needs volume. Therefore, for their owners, short or medium length haircuts are best suited. Layered and torn edges a good choice. But the sleekness in styling is completely excluded. Haircuts for thin hair for women over 40 will revive bangs well, you can even try a straight one.


For those with thick hair medium length haircuts are best suited, which will look very impressive even without special styling. If you have rather thick hair, then you can also safely experiment with bangs, the main thing that you should not overdo is with volume.

2. Experiment with bangs.
Many of the fair sex refuse bangs, because they believe that it is very difficult to care for her. In fact, there are no difficulties in caring for a bang, it’s easy to put it, the only caveat is that it needs to be cut regularly. However, the benefits of it are much greater than the hassle. It hides mimic wrinkles on the forehead and near the eyes, because it is they who often give out a woman's age. In addition, thanks to the bangs, the eyes seem more expressive. In this case, the bangs should be light and asymmetrical. Thick, even and short bangs, on the contrary, can add age.


3. Give up smooth styling.
Smooth hair deprives the image of energy and enthusiasm, it is better to give it volume, then others will not guess how old you really are. If possible, do not give up long hair. If your hair has always been long, and you decided to cut it just because of the transition to a new age stage, do not rush to remove its length. Younger haircuts for women over 40- This is, first of all, about styling. Stylists recommend creating hairstyles with curls, curls and waves. They do not advise owners of curls to straighten the strands or shorten them, but for those who have naturally straight hair, hairdressers recommend mastering several techniques for creating wavy styling. Do not grow strands too long, then to collect them at the back of the head in old-fashioned "shells".


4. Choose a hairstyle according to the type of face.
Choose a hairstyle that best matches the type of face. Ideally, the face should be in the shape of an oval. Therefore, the hair should hide the protruding parts of the face, and the maximum volume should be concentrated at the level of the narrowest part.

5. Take good care of your hair!
Even the most expensive stylist will not help you if you are careless about hair care. remember, that stylish youthful haircut requires daily care. The Etvish product catalog will help you choose high-quality hair care products.
