Being over 40 and feeling fab is always possible with the right hairstyle! Long gone are the days of getting older and forcing your hair to match the traditional short cut. Yes short can be easier to manage and can suit you, but ladies you are no way limited to previous hairstyle norms.
You have to chose something that suits you, your hair texture, your face shape and importantly your lifestyle. Let’s be practical, leaving the salon with the perfect hairstyle that requires a professional to dry, pull, smooth, straighten and gloss will only last for one day before you sleep on it, and before you have to wash and style it yourself. That’s not going to make you feel fab on the busy weekday mornings, rushing to get out of the house.
Instead, take a look at our top three practical hairstyles for over 40 fabulousness:
Curly Lob
A great combination of styles, giving both body and movement with this versatile medium length.
A great choice for any of our curly or wavy ladies; you can work with your natural curl.
Use some curl styling cream to enhance your natural curl or wave. Add in a heavy side fringe for maximum volume. Et voila, dream hair.
Long Layers
For our long haired ladies, adding movement with long layers will create a youthful movement for your locks.
Plus if you add a soft wave with a curling tong, you will add a new level of romantic relevance.
Side Swept Pixie
A perfect choice if you want to go short but with a lot of style. The side sweep fringe will give you a gorgeous structure to frame your face, while providing all of the volume you could possibly need.
To keep that volume throughout the day, add a little bit of texturising styling cream.
If you need help with which style is best for you, call in for a consultation and start feeling fab 40+ 🙂
