Bang Back the Years

Did you know you can add youth and vitality with just cutting some bangs into your hair style?

“Bangs can be a great way to frame the face and actually add volume to the face,” says stylist Atuozo Neihule.

Why is this? Well, you have probably noticed that as we get older, a lot of us tend to notice lines draw our face downward. Bangs can actually offset long lines, by framing the face and brining attention to the eyes.

What else is great at “cutting” time?

A short cut can often open the face and brighten the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Yvonne Neihule states, “Shorter tends to look better on older women, but short with style a little edge.”

In addition to cut, style can have a reflection on one’s age. One great option is feathering, that’s creating soft curls and cutting back on the heavy and stiff.

Feathering adds softness to a style that complements the face and does not focus or highlight harsh lines or shades in the face. Softer is better in many cases.

So, cheer up! You are as young as your hair style!
