Hair tweaks that make you younger!

All it takes to look 10 (or more!) years younger? A quick color, cut or style change. Read on to find the one that works best for you

Thicken hair with buoyant waves

Styling hair straight can put bald spots and thinning on display since hair lies flat against the head, says celebrity hairstylist Daniel Koye, who’s worked with Vanessa Williams and Jessica Chastain.

THE HAIR TWEAK: “Infuse hair with soft waves,” says Koye. “Their bounce helps hair move so spots don’t show!” Simply wrap 1" sections of hair around a 1 1⁄2" curling iron, having curls fall away from the face; comb through curls with fingers.

Lift features with a swept-up pixie

Since hair texture becomes finer with age, chin-length crops can start hanging lifelessly, says hairstylist Carrie Butterworth, who’s worked with Sigourney Weaver and Mena Suvari. The limp locks then pull facial features down, emphasizing jowls and saggy skin.

THE HAIR TWEAK: “A voluminous pixie,” says Butterworth. “It restores the look of fullness to fine strands while pulling focus up for a facelift effect.” Just ask your stylist for a pixie with light, blended layers that’s longer on top and shorter on the sides. Then style by blow-drying 1" sections of hair with a small round brush, pulling hair up and out from the root, then brushing the top layer toward the back.
