Top hairdressers and colourists reveal the ageing mistakes they see most often
From the style you choose to the colour, your hair can have a big impact on the age you look. While we’re all aware that a new hairstyle won’t suddenly make us look 21 – nor would we want it to, to be honest – most would agree that they want hair that looks fresh and modern, and certainly not frumpy.
With this in mind, we’ve asked top hairdressers and colourists to reveal the ageing mistakes they see most often – plus what we should be doing instead. So, if you're contemplating a new look post-lockdown, here's their advice:‘The key to colour as we age is softness,’ says John Spanton, Technical Education Director at Trevor Sorbie.
Karine Jackson, former London Hairdresser of the Year agrees. ‘Hair colour needs to look multi-tonal as you age; when you colour your hair at home, it builds up and looks dense, which is incredibly ageing. This is true of blonde and, at the other end of the spectrum, darker hair, which can look flat against the skin . A good colourist will be able to make sure this doesn’t happen,’ she says.
‘A blunt bob, close to the jawline, with no layering, is very severe, which than makes the face appear older,’ she continues. Instead, Hayley recommends opting for a softer haircut, such as the ‘lob’ – a longer bob that sits slightly beneath the jawline at the front. ‘Opt for a layered version, rather than a blunt cut,’ says Hayley. ‘The subtle layer will frame the face, softening it and making it appear fuller and more youthful.’Yellow tones in the hair can make it look seriously brassy and old-fashioned.
