Going to the hairdresser can be an expensive trip, so you want to make sure the cut you’re going for will make you look good. If you don’t tell the hairdresser exactly what you’re looking for (pictures can help here), you may not like your new look.
To help mature women love their hair and feel their best at any age, hairdresser Justin Hickox—who has been in the business for over 30 years—has some top recommendations. One of the first haircuts to consider is long hair with bangs, Justin Hickox said on his YouTube channel. Elaborating on the cut, Jason said the bangs are “not connected with any layering”—aside from the bangs, the cut is just one length.
Justin said this cut is “really, really good at accentuating [the] eyes,” so it’s ideal if they’re one of your best features.
Anybody in love with their cheekbones would also want to consider this cut, but with the bangs curving down a bit at the sides.
By having bangs that curve around instead of a blunt square fringe could “lift your face”, said Justin.
Another haircut worth considering is face-framing layers while the rest of the hair is one length.
“Depending on where those layers start, you can either add fullness to your face or you can actually add a little bit of length to your face,” said Justin.
For those wanting to look slimmer, the face-framing layers should begin below the chin.
“This actually does a great job of elongating your face,” Justin affirmed.
For those who already feel they have a long face, layers that begin “directly at your chin” will add more fullness to the face.
One more haircut to consider is long hair with “strong layering”, meaning a lot of layers.
“It gives you a lot movement and texture; it does a great job of adding a lot of volume up towards the temple area,” he explained.
Then there’s the same cut, styled with waves – a “timeless” look.
That moves us onto Justin’s final haircut suggestion: long with strong layers (specifically two layers at the bottom) for naturally curly-haired women.
