1. Atualizar a cor

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. Acessórios para o cabelo na moda

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. Cuide do seu cabelo

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 o cabelo fica com um aspeto mais espesso e saudável. O primeiro passo é encontrar um cabeleireiro competente. Em vez de ir a um salão de cabeleireiro diferente todas as semanas, procure um profissional que conheça o seu cabelo e que lhe dê conselhos genuínos.

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

3. Cortar

Muitas mulheres cometem o mesmo erro: associam o cabelo comprido à juventude. No entanto, qualquer especialista dir-lhe-á que a verdade é exatamente o contrário. Manter as madeixas demasiado compridas e demasiado direitas faz com que pareça mais velha.

Os penteados compridos são normalmente aborrecidos e não têm movimento. Por isso, chamam toda a atenção para as imperfeições do seu rosto, que normalmente incluem rugas ou uma tez problemática.

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 outro lado, penteados mais curtos deve ser a sua escolha de topo se quiser devolver vida e saúde ao seu cabelo!

4. Experimente a franja

Em vez de usar Botox para as rugas da testa, tenho uma solução mais saudável e mais barata: franja. Claro que este corte de cabelo tem outras vantagens: emoldura o rosto, acentua os seus belos traços e faz com que pareça mais jovem.

A única coisa importante aqui é escolher o tipo certo de franja, de acordo com o formato do seu rosto. Se tem um rosto redondo, opte por uma franja cortina ou lateral. As franjas longas e em camadas combinam melhor com rostos compridos, enquanto as franjas curtas ou finas são as mais lisonjeiras para um rosto em forma de coração. Quando se trata de um rosto oval, a franja romba ou de comprimento médio deve ser a sua melhor escolha.

5. O cabelo em camadas é um cabelo mais espesso

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. Fazer um corte de cabelo arrojado

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?

Uma das formas de se destacar da multidão e parecer mais jovem do que nunca é fazer uma corte de cabelo ousado.

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 assimétrico ou corte bob.

7. Don’t be scared of funky colors

If you’re feeling brave, add some cores de cabelo divertidas 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. Penteados casuais

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.

É por isso que deve optar por penteados mais informais e descontraídos. Em vez de um elegante rolo francês, opte por um carrapito desarrumado se quiser manter o cabelo afastado do rosto.

Em vez de cortes de cabelo lisos, opte por cortes cortados para obter uma aparência mais jovem.

9. Cabelo grisalho não é cabelo velho

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.

Se todas as suas madeixas forem cinzentas, invista num champô prateado. Utilizar um gloss que deposite a cor também é uma boa ideia.

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. Ajustar as tendências ao seu gosto

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.

Mas espera, isto significa que tens de seguir todas as tendências capilares cegamente, independentemente de gostares delas ou não? De modo algum! Em vez disso, deve ajustar a moda ao seu gosto e encontrar o meio-termo.

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.
