Spring is the perfect season for a fresh new hairstyle. It’s time to switch up the routine and liven up your look. So, ladies over 60, let’s dive deep into the world of trendy, age-appropriate styles. Linda Miller, a seasoned pro in the hair industry, shares her invaluable insights. With her expertise at hand, let’s explore these key tips to create your perfect, low-maintenance spring hairstyle.
Embrace Texture Through Styling
Hair texture is a game-changer in determining the perfect hairstyle, according to Miller. “Fine, thin, thick, or coarse? Each hair type has its own set of rules,” she notes. If you have light to medium density, no more than two hair types, and fine to medium texture, she advises opting for small point cut layers. This style adds volume, movement, and shape without the risk of appearing overwhelmed by a heavy style.
Optimal Face Shapes and Hair Types
For individuals with medium density, thinner or coarse texture, and wavy to curly hair, a heavily layered style garners Miller’s recommendation. The layers should begin at ear or lip length, or frame the face at those lengths. “This lets you wear the length without it turning to triangle or box shape,” she adds. To maintain control over the fullness of the hair, especially if it has a wave or curl pattern, it is advised to allow the underneath layers to grow longer.
