Flattering Hair Style

Highlights turn back the clock. You might not necessarily have more fun as a blonde, but you will look younger. Our hair colour darkens as we age, so adding back childhood-blonde highlights is an anti-age. Simply lightening the hairline by a shade brings light, life and glow to the skin.

Glazes give hair a flattering gloss. Dark hair can be aging, but not if it's very glossy. Colour glazes are the big story.

Layers put skin in the spotlight. Heavy hair by the face shades the skin, making it look dull. Which makes the trend for blunt fringes less flattering than 'shorter layer with movement around the face that let light shine through'.

Hair products can give your pretty skin, too. The right hair texture can work wonders for your skin tone. Serums take the frizz out and this makes for a softer effect on the face. While on fine hair, a thickening lotion lets your blow-dry some height into the hairline, which look less harsh on the skin than a scraped-back effect.

Shiny hair is youthful. Glossy locks signify youth. Get them by closing down the hairs, cuticles, either with a blow-dry, using a real bristle brush, or by finishing with a shine spray. The best make locks reflective, but not greasy.
