As we all know there are some real do and don’t with hairstyles specially for women over 40. Your hair changes as you get older and there is no reason to go gray if you choose not to. Hairstyles over 40 as with all ages is highly personal yet you still need tips and ideas of what are good do and don’ts. Here is a good list to think about when deciding about a new hairstyle.

List of do’s:

Color your gray, there is no need to be gray unless you really like it. Most of you do not like the idea of being gray, it just makes you look older. That’s not what you want!

Get your layers lifted. This means if you don’t have layers you might want to look into them. Hair that is all one length tends not to look good on anyone over 40. You drag down your face and make it look older than you are. If you have layers get them redone so that they are lighter on top. Getting the right hairstylist will be able to explain this better for you.

Which leads to:

Finding a good hairstylist. He/She that knows what to do with your features not take away from them. You might have to look around because you are looking for someone who doesn’t just work on teenagers or young adults. The hairstyles that someone in their teens to later 30’s have may not work for you. Their haircuts are too trendy and seem to follow the latest actors hairstyles. Yet you don’t want someone who thinks that having hair when you are over 40 means it’s time to start wearing your hair like those from the Golden Girls. Remember those looks? It’s a very good idea not to go too short or keep your hair too long. A good A-Line bob that is shoulder length or a little longer works well. Specially if you don’t want to give up your long hair just yet.
