1. Actualizar el color

Once you decide to change your natural hair color, you have to get regular touch-ups. Yes, darker grown-out roots on lighter hair might be a trend now, but we both know that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about messy-looking locks or washed-out hair color nobody is attracted to.

If you want to look younger, you have to maintain your color. If you have highlights, or balayage, I am sorry to tell you, but you’ll have to get a color retouch at the saloon. On the other hand, if you just need a root retouch, maybe something can be done with a box-dye at home.

2. Accesorios de moda para el pelo

Stacked clips, claw clips, hair bands, scrunchies, statement clips… they’ve all made a big return to the fashion scene in the last couple of years. So, what’s stopping you from hopping into that trend?

Hair accessories will make you look younger but that’s not all. They have the power to transform a dull hairstyle into an exciting one. It’s time to say goodbye too all of those tried-and-true hairdos and spice up your hair game.

Remember: a single hair accessory can change your entire look: it will make you look carefree, spontaneous and easy-going. And that’s the impression you want to leave, isn’t it?

2. Cuida tu cabello

Here’s the tough truth: you can never look younger with damaged hair. Tangled tresses, dry and lifeless locks will make your hair look lifeless and boring. Of course, you’ll end up looking older, or even like a slob.

It’s actually pretty simple: you have to put in some effort if you want your que el pelo parezca más grueso y sano. El primer paso es encontrar un peluquero experto. En lugar de ir a una peluquería distinta cada semana, búscate un profesional que conozca tu pelo y te aconseje de verdad.

But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t keep an eye on your tresses in between appointments. Learn how to make Mascarillas capilares DIY, don’t use too much heat, and be careful about the way you brush your hair.

3. Cortarlo

Muchas mujeres cometen el mismo error: asocian el pelo más largo con la juventud. Sin embargo, todos los expertos te dirán que en realidad es al revés. Llevar el pelo demasiado largo y liso te hace parecer mucho mayor.

Los peinados largos suelen ser aburridos y carecen de movimiento. Por lo tanto, atraen toda la atención hacia las imperfecciones de tu rostro, que suelen incluir arrugas o un cutis problemático.

If this is not reason enough to chop off your hair, keep in mind that long hair usually looks a lot thinner and more damaged. And let’s face it, after a certain age, we are all starting to lose our hair’s thickness.

Por otro lado, peinados más cortos ¡debería ser tu mejor elección si quieres devolver la vida y la salud a tu cabello!

4. Prueba el flequillo

En lugar de ponerme bótox para las arrugas de la frente, tengo una solución más sana y barata: el flequillo. Por supuesto, este corte de pelo tiene otras ventajas: enmarca tu rostro, acentúa tus bonitos rasgos y te hace parecer más joven.

Lo único importante aquí es elegir el tipo de flequillo adecuado, según la forma de tu cara. Si tienes la cara redonda, opta por un flequillo cortina o lateral. Los flequillos largos y a capas combinan mejor con los rostros alargados, mientras que los flequillos bebé o ondulados son los más favorecedores para un rostro en forma de corazón. Si tienes la cara ovalada, elige un flequillo despuntado o de longitud media.

5. El pelo a capas es más grueso

Are you struggling with thinning hair? Worry not because you’re not alone: almost all women start dealing with this issue after a certain time. However, there is a solution for that.

You have to choose haircuts that will make your hair look thicker, and in most cases, layered styles are the best for the job. This way, you get body and movement, together with the illusion of volume and depth. Pair this cut with a set of highlights and you’re good to go.

6. Hazte un corte de pelo atrevido

You’re trying your best to look professional and respectable. But who says that you are not allowed to express your individuality while doing all of that?

Una de las formas de destacar entre la multitud y parecer más joven que nunca es hacerse una corte de pelo atrevido.

Don’t get me wrong: you don’t have to go edgy all the way to achieve this effect. There are subtler hairstyles that will do the trick, such as an pixie asimétrico o corte bob.

7. Don’t be scared of funky colors

If you’re feeling brave, add some colores de pelo funky to transform your boring cut. If you’re looking for a sign to get out of your comfort zone and start experimenting with your hair, this is it. Don’t let the world tell you that you’ve passed an age when vivid hair was acceptable. Remember: this is your life!

You don’t have to go all the way in right away. If you’re anxious about this change, don’t pick rainbow colors on your first try. Instead, start with some pastel shades and see where the experiment takes you.

At the end of the day, if you don’t end up liking it, the color will wash out soon enough. At least, you’ll know you’ve had some fun.

8. Peinados informales

Updos and elegant hairstyles are for special occasions, not for every day. If you keep on wearing classy buns, or fancy rolls, you’re giving the wrong impression. Whether you like to hear it or not, these hairstyles make you look more serious and end up aging you.

Por eso debes recurrir a peinados más desenfadados y relajados. En lugar de un elegante moño francés, elige un moño despeinado si quieres mantener el pelo alejado de la cara.

En lugar de cortes de pelo rectos, opta por cortes entrecortados para conseguir un aspecto más juvenil.

9. Las canas no son pelo viejo

Is it possible to have gray hair and still look younger? Absolutely yes. However, having a trendy gray hairstyle doesn’t mean just letting your natural grays grow out. In fact, there is much more to it.

Si todos tus mechones son grises, invierte en un champú plateado. También es buena idea utilizar un brillo que deposite el color.

But what if you’re transitioning to gray? In that case, add some highlights, or just dye your entire hair to icy blonde or silver.

10. Ajusta las tendencias a tu gusto

A perm, contrast highlights, a feathered cut… continue the list. What all of these hairstyles have in common? Well, isn’t it obvious? They’re all outdated. That means that you should leave them in the past where they belong.

Pero espera, ¿significa esto que debes seguir ciegamente todas las tendencias capilares, te gusten o no? En absoluto. En lugar de eso, debes ajustar la moda a tu gusto y encontrar el término medio.

So if you want curly hair, go with heatless, more relaxed curls instead of a perm. Replace feathered chop with a layered cut. Let balayage take the place of contrast highlights. This way, you’ll get a more fashionable appearance while staying true to yourself.
