How to Choose a Haircut That Makes You Look Younger

Choose a short hair cut with bangs to frame your face.

To have a more youthful appearance, you may do so by simply changing your hairstyle and choosing a haircut that flatters the shape of your face and bone structure. This is a more natural way to look younger, without medical procedures or expensive makeup. Look for a haircut that is not only a young, fresh style but one that looks and feels great, and offers minimal maintenance.

Instructions

1. Discover the shape of your face and bone structure and choose a hair cut that is flattering to these features. For instance, if you have a heart-shaped face with high cheekbones, a pixie cut will make you look more youthful.

2. Request multiple layers when having your hair cut if you have medium-length to long-length hair. Layers will frame your face and make you look younger, while a straight, flat cut might not flatter you. Layers can be done on straight, wavy and curly hair.

3. Consider getting fringe bangs if you do not currently have any bangs. Side-swept bangs are currently in style and ideal if you are going for a younger, fresher look. This style of bangs is ideal for straight hair, but can be achieved with waxy or curly hair if you straighten them.

4. Choose a hairstyle such as a pixie cut or layered bob if you want to cut your hair short. Combine your pixie or layered bob with your fringe bangs for a younger-looking appearance.
