It’s the worst! It easily gives several more years.
After 60 years, hair becomes a field of expression in its own right. Some women choose the very short cuts, others claim their femininity through long hair. The rule “It is absolutely necessary to cut everything” now belongs to the past: hair trends today value freedom and adaptation to the desires of each. But beware, some choices can give a few more years, even on a bright face.
It is not so much the length that is problematic, but the way it is carried. Without structured cut or volume, the hair is growing, becomes flat and dull. Result: the face seems tired, the lines drawn downwards, and the oval is visually relaxing. It is precisely this hairstyle that ages the most after 60 years: extra-long hair, right and without movement. Although they symbolize femininity, they accentuate the signs of time by hardening the contours of the face. They risk giving a severe or tired air, even when we go beyond energy.
The solution? Missing on lightness and movement. The hairdressers recommend a subtle gradient, especially around the face, to restore volume and soften the lines. The long square, or “lob”, slightly tapered, is an excellent alternative to keep length without weighing down. As the hairdresser Delphine Courteille underlines: “If your hair keeps a good quality, you can allow yourself to keep length-by limiting yourself to mid-long hair, to the shoulder blades-and to display a nice gradient.“Actresses like Philippine Leroy Beaulieu or Michèle Laroque perfectly illustrate this half-long dynamic, both elegant and rejuvenating.
In summary, after 60 years, no need to give up femininity of long hair. But to stay modern and highlight your face, it is better to avoid extra long, steep and structure hair. By opting for mid-long degraded, we instantly gain in freshness, style and youth.
