For women who are blonde or considering going blonde, you’ll want to consider getting bangs and layers in your hair. Instead of bleaching your entire head of hair, it might be wiser to go with extensive highlights instead. If you have layers, bangs, and highlights, you won’t have to return to your stylist as often for touch-ups. Layers will help hide your roots and highlights will simply make roots less obvious.

Get a hair cut that has plenty of choppiness to it and get some long bangs in tandem with streaks if you want to roll back the clock by ten years. Most stylists agree that bold blonde highlights along with the lift that layers provide help to hide wrinkles and other signs of aging. Going blonde with highlights instead an all-over color change is a much better choice than getting your hair dyed red. Unless red hair is natural, this color can bring out blotchiness in the skin and highlight some of the features that aging women want to cover up. A honey blonde hair color with plenty of sunny tones helps tone down the look of brown spots.

If highlights aren’t your thing, ask your stylist to use darker tones on the hair underneath and lighter tones on the hair on top. Better yet, use even brighter highlights around the face. The effect of using color to create depth can have an immediately de-aging impact on the face and making the color of the hair slightly darker underneath gives the overall look remarkably natural.

If you decide to go blonde, or add some highlights to hair that’s already blonde, you’ll need to make sure to maintain your locks. Hair that’s been bleached or highlighted can be sensitive to heat styling and therefore prone to breaking off. After you get your hair bleached or highlighted, you’ll need to do regular hair treatments to keep your hair thoroughly conditioned.

Whatever you do, make sure you choose a color that isn’t too dark for your skin. Super dark hair color can highlight wrinkles and bring out features that give away your age. Instead, if you’re going to change your hair color, choose a tone that’s just one shade lighter than your natural color.

The Ideal 40-Something Hair Cut

As the years go by, the hair styles that flatter us change. Women who hope to move with the times and yet capture a style that will flatter them as individuals must heed certain hair-related creeds in order to look their best. There is no “perfect” hair cut for a 40-something woman, but rather many that will flatter a middle-aged face. There are however, hair styles that are definitely a no-no, for women who are hoping to keep their youthfulness intact for as long as possible

Most women who are at or near 40 or in their forties are hoping to use their hair to turn back the clock or at least look their age (and not older). That means that long hair cut to all one length might be a bad idea. Though it isn’t entirely against the rules for middle-aged women to sport longer locks, it’s important for the hair to be layered in such a way as to flatter the face. Long hair that is all one length can drag the face down, making it look longer and tired (and therefore older). But long hair that’s been appropriately layered can provide the appearance of playfulness and vitality. Long hair, after all, is sexy, even on women in their 40’s, but keeping those layers trimmed can keep those locks from looking drab and unkempt.

In some cases, it may be wise to go with a cut of mid-length rather than try to work with long hair and layers. A strategically shaped hair style that has been cut to frame the face creates a softening effect that tones down the look of wrinkles and the beginning signs of aging. A hair cut of about shoulder length offers women a lot of options in terms of hair styles that they can wear and the look is sexy as well as sophisticated. Shoulder length hair with some layers to bring out a woman’s best features is a cut that can flatter any woman no matter what texture of hair she has or the shape of her face.

If you really love your current hair style and you don’t want a radical change, you can seek out a hair stylist who knows a thing or two about working with your personal bone structure, the texture of your hair, and how much time you’re willing to spend styling your hair each day. A knowledgeable stylist will be able to recommend updates on your current style that will help you maintain your youthfulness without going too far out on a limb. A slight change can make all the difference in the world to women over 40 who want to continue looking young for many years to come.
