What are the main mistakes you make in dyeing, styling and haircare that greatly spoil your image? You will learn about them from our today’s article!
Updos for short hair
Do not get us wrong: short hair can and should be combed back, but it is important not to style every hair, pouring it with gel lavishly. Such a hairstyle is not suitable for many people. Besides, it ages you ruthlessly. It’s good if you can leave a few strands to fall on your face (you can curl them) or give preference to a more sloppy look.
Bang falling on the eyes
Bangs used to be the best anti-aging trick that didn’t require a lot of money and painful rehabilitation. In general, this statement is true, but it is important not to choose the most inappropriate of the whole variety of options – a straight bang that falls on the eyes. Yes, it will hide the wrinkles on the forehead, but it will emphasize the crow’s feet near the eyes and the bags under them. All you need is to shorten the hair a little (if you do not want to experiment) – and the effect will be completely different.
Ice blonde
In case of improper care, ice blonde turns into a gray, dirty shade, which also leads to a fiasco. Despite its popularity, it can be used only if you are sure that it will not add an extra decade of age. Honey and creamy variations are a much better choice.
Monochrome dark hair color
In old age, blondes are said to be more lucky than brunettes (at least initially): their gray hairs are not so noticeable, whereas wrinkles and folds are not so evident. Plain dark hair color emphasizes everything that you would like to hide (that is why wine lipstick is not recommended for use in anti-aging makeup). You will probably want to avoid this effect and then refresh the gloomy look with highlighted strands.
Monochrome dark shades of hair (black, mahogany, burgundy, cherry and dark brown) add age and make your look more tired, visually enhancing pallor and wrinkles.
Lack of moisture
This advice is directly related to care. With age, the scalp becomes drier – the sebaceous glands stop working so actively. Therefore, it is so important to include moisturizers in your beauty routine, as well as limit the use of hair dryers and gadgets and avoid walking in the sun without a headwear (not that they should be used more often at a younger age, but with time problems will only get worse under the influence of high temperatures).
