Looking for a low-maintenance hairstyle for mature hair? Here’s one that should catch your attention.
Would a cut that is both chic and low-maintenance for mature hair be utopia? As we age, our mane undergoes changes: hair loss, slowdown in growth, frizz, dryness or even silver strands. Faced with this new reality, it can be difficult to keep the same hairstyle. Many then opt for a radical scissor cut. And these shorter styles have a serious advantage: “Shorter cuts and those that play on texture or clever cutting techniques can help hair look fuller and healthier, without requiring extra maintenance“, explains Laura Elliott, hairdresser, to the American media Harper’s Bazaar. And one of them particularly stands out from the crowd.
Very popular for several months, this haircut is in fact ideal for enhancing mature hair. It is not a simple square, but what the professional calls a textured boba more modern and fun version of this classic. “It incorporates soft gradients and subtle internal structure work to create a natural effect, full of movement and dimension.“Laura Elliott emphasizes that this technique makes it possible to lighten the mass while providing natural plumpness, which makes it particularly”flattering for those dealing with thinning hair, loss of density or a lack of volume at the top of the head.“The advantage of this hairstyle? If the strands twist, take on a false crease or frizz a little because of the humidity or the changing texture of white hair, that’s part of the style! We no longer spend hours trying to tame them!
For regrowth, unlike the straight bob which requires regular trips to the hair salon, the different layers blend into each other. We can easily space out appointments. Even better: if you want to opt for a gray blending or French blending balayage, the highlights surrounding the face will create an ideal playground for coloring and thus illuminate the face.
When it comes to styling, nothing too complicated: we rely on moisturizing and slightly sculpting products which will reduce frizz and create an effect effortless very chic. And for summer and heat waves like at the moment, it is entirely possible to let them dry in the open air (bye bye heating appliances). “Comb your hair in the shower using a wet detangling brush or wide-tooth comb, then apply an oil, texturizing spray, or curl cream to still-soaked hair. Once dry, gently separate the strands with your fingers“, concludes Marc Trinder, also a hairdresser.
