Softly does it
A looser hairstyle will soften your face, as Penélope Cruz, 45, shows with this gently tousled ‘up do’. By pinning her hair at the nape of her neck and letting a few strands loose, her face is beautifully framed. Copy her look by curling a few strands before fixing into place. Toni & Guy Style Fix Curler, £30, Debenhams, creates red-carpet-worthy, glossy curls.
Big and bouncy
As we age, our hair starts to thin – especially around the time of the menopause. Replenish lost oomph by recreating a bouncy, salon-style blow-dry like Kate Garraway’s, 52, at home. Instead of juggling a dryer and brush, Revlon One Step Dryer and Volumiser, £59.99, Boots, covers two steps in one, adding volume as it dries your locks.
Fringe benefits
Claudia Winkleman’s signature fringe proves you needn’t switch up your entire look for party season. A full fringe can be tricky to pull off, but Claudia, 47, balances hers with softly feathered lengths and a tousled wave. For evening, maximise shine with a little oil like Umberto Giannini Spoil Me Hair Oil, £8.25, Boots.
Fringe focus
Lower-maintenance than full-on bangs, Amanda Holden, 48, demonstrates how a sweeping side fringe can show off a statement earring. This half-swept-back, half-down style feels really modern. Steal her style by using hair grips, £1.50 for 30, Boots, to pin one side of your hair in place.
Side-swept
