Your hair plays a significant role in your overall appearance, acting as your crown. How you style and carry your hair can convey a lot about your personality. Alongside your choice of clothing, your hair can either enhance your youthful and vibrant look or unintentionally age you.
Take a moment to review these common mistakes people make with their hair and assess if youโre guilty of any. Letโs start:
Donโt have your hair line parallel to the floor
Bob styles are undeniably popular, but a frequent mistake is aligning the hairline parallel to the floor. Although not immediately noticeable, a closer look reveals its impact.
Given that we see each other from different angles, a hairline parallel to the floor draws the gaze downward, often resulting in a tired appearance. Ideally, you want eyes to be uplifted when looking at you.
Instead, have your hair line follow the line of your jaw
When the hairline follows the natural contours of your jaw and face, it elevates your overall look, attracting those gazes upward. Additionally, it imparts a graceful and lively flow to your hair, radiating a youthful aura.
Hair that flips at your shoulder
The problem here lies in the shape. What you desire is more volume on top to highlight your cheeks and eyes. If the majority of the volume resides lower near your neck, it tends to weigh down your overall look.
Too much flip at bottom dates you
Aside from its vintage charm, this style tends to direct attention downward. While it can be cute and some may pull it off, current trends suggest otherwise.
Choosing not to style your hair
Itโs understandable to have lazy days where styling your hair is forgiven. However, neglecting to style your hair means missing out on the opportunity to accentuate and emphasize your desired features. Mastering different styling techniques automatically enhances your youthful appearance.
Layers in your hair are worth it
Styling and layering hair can be tricky and time-consuming for some, which is why hair salons and skilled hairdressers can become your best allies. However, medium-length hair tends to lack volume without layers, resulting in a downward effect that is unflattering. In this case, opting for layers becomes essential.
But layers that are too long make you look older
Without layers, your hair tends to accumulate more volume at the bottom, leading to a triangular shape that can make you appear older. It lacks the desired effect of adding movement and dimension.
Go for shorter layers
Shorter layers, on the other hand, are the key to achieving a youthful and vibrant look. This trendy and even sexy style lifts up your features and enhances your entire face, giving you a fabulous glow. Embrace it!
Keep hair off and away from your face/h2>
Keeping your hair pulled back and away from your face can help accentuate the structure of your cheekbones. Enhancing this structure with the magic of makeup further enhances your overall appearance, leaving you looking fantastic.
Pulling back hair in tight ponytail gives โface liftโ
While pulling your hair back tightly may create a temporary facelift effect, not everyone enjoys this tight style. If it doesnโt work for you, consider the next suggestion.
A loose ponytail accentuates cheek structure
If a tight bun feels uncomfortable, go for a looser style. Let the hair taper above your ears while keeping the top slightly pulled back. This approach still provides a lift and accentuates your cheekbones without the discomfort of a tightly pulled bun. It works harmoniously to bring out your eyes.
Create volume at the temple area
The temple area plays a crucial role as it is situated near your eyes and above your cheeks. Adding volume to your hair around this area further elevates your features, drawing attention upward and outward. It creates a significant difference when everything is lifted upward, enhancing your overall appearance.
Create an angle on the side of hair
If creating volume around your temples is challenging, an angled haircut on the side is a great hack. It creates the illusion of volume by tapering down to your neck, enhancing the limited volume at the top. Additionally, this style complements the jawline, adding to its attractiveness.
Create more volume top
When it comes to short hair, avoid adding volume on the sides as it creates width and makes the top of your head appear smaller. Instead, focus on adding volume at the top. The cut should follow a V shape along the cheeklines, elongating the face rather than widening it.
Stay away from thick and long bangs
Square, straight, and thick bangs tend to shorten the face, closing off the cheeks and jawline. If you prefer having bangs, opt for a more subtle and lighter style. There are various styles to choose from that can beautifully frame your face.
Show forehead through bangs
Remember that itโs generally better to have your forehead partially visible through your bangs. Whether you prefer a straight-down style or swept to the side, keep it to a few strands so that your forehead is still visible to others.
Avoid bob haircuts with round face
If you have a rounder face shape, avoid pairing it with a bob hairstyle, as it can accentuate the roundness and make you appear bigger. The goal is to look gorgeous, so keep exploring other suitable styles.
Stay away from center parts
Center parts donโt allow for much volume, so women with round faces might struggle to create volume at the top when aiming to elongate the face. This style simply parts the hair and lets it fall to the sides, which doesnโt help in achieving the desired effect.
Donโt have layers at the chin
When it comes to layering, itโs best to keep them above your chin or longer than your chin. Having layers across or beside your chin can add fullness to your face, making it appear wider. Opting for layers that fall above or below the chin will help elongate your face, accentuate your jawline, and complement your cheekbones. Itโs important to understand what works best for your specific face shape and size, and if youโre unsure, consulting a skilled hairdresser can provide valuable guidance.
