Anti Wrinkle Hair Styles

What are anti-wrinkle hairstyles? These are hairstyles that draw attention away from wrinkles and toward your best features. Hair can be an effective tool in maintaining a youthful, stylish, and attractive appearance; but on the opposite note, the wrong hair style can make you look many years older.

Your hair style should always look modern while complimenting your texture, face, personality, and lifestyle. If you are wearing the same hair style that you wore ten years ago, it's probably time for a change. Here are a few helpful tips to consider when choosing a youthful hairstyle:

When it comes to hair, styling up and away from the face is the best way to go. Bangs and hair styled around the face can cast shadows into lines and wrinkles. A hairstyle that rises at the temples can give the face instant lift. So can styles with volume on the top!

Keep your hair accessories simple or avoid them at all. Young looking barrettes, headbands, and clips draw attention to your wrinkles because of their inappropriateness.

Parting your hair on the side looks softer and more youthful than parting it straight down the middle.

Avoid over-teased, big, bouffant styles that are stiff with hair spray. Looks like these scream old lady!

Up-do’s are always flattering. Try a relaxed French roll or a loose bun on the top of your head—they shouldn’t be too structured, so don’t worry about every little flyaway or stray stand.

Hair that is too long can drag down the face. Try a bob trimmed just below the jaw line to draw the eye away from the side of face and laugh lines.

Keep styles natural and not too structured or tight. Free flowing styles look younger.

Did you know...

that massaging the scalp with essential oils such as jojoba, ylang ylang, lavender, or rosemary can promote hair growth by boosting circulation and bringing oxygen, vitamins and protein to the scalp? Plus, it can help build volume and give hair shine.

Young hair is shiny, and shiny hair is healthy. Whenever possible, you should protect your hair from harsh elements like the sun and wind by wearing a hat or scarf. Also, maintaining a nutritious and balanced diet is necessary for healthy hair-- protein and vitamin B and C enriched foods can even slow down the greying process!

Speaking of grey… you can still look young with grey hair as long as it is healthy, and you maintain a modern, sassy hairstyle--consider a pixie cut or maybe even a fun spiked look. A semi-permanent treatment, such as Sebastian Laminates Cellophane Clear, works perfect if you just want to boost the grey with a high gloss shine. Just remember not to pluck out your grey strands because they will grow back even coarser.

If you choose to dye your hair, always add highlights for a more natural look. All one color, especially if it’s too dark, can look old and harsh. Highlights and a fresh new hair color can radiate the pigments in your skin, especially if you go lighter around the face. A semi-permanent hair gloss, such as Sebastian Laminates Cellophane, is a perfect way to experiment with hair color because it is temporary and shampoos out within 6 to 8 washes--plus they come in many fun colors. If instead, you decide to go with permanent color, remember that unlike semi-permanent, it lasts until hair grows out so you will constantly need to touch up the roots.

In summary, a flattering haircut and vibrant hair color are wrinkle fighters that can help you look many years younger. Hair ages just like skin, so you should always treat it as gently as you would fine lace. This means avoiding stressful styles, heated tools, dyes, relaxers, and chemicals whenever possible. If you can, try to opt for natural hairstyles that can air dry.
