Balayage vs Californian: differences between the most demanded highlights in summer
The shag and bob, the haircuts of the year, are renewed this summer
A
good haircut,
and the right hairstyle, can do real miracles.
And just as there are cuts that add volume to fine hair as if by art of birlibirloque, others have an effect similar to drinking from
the fountain of eternal youth.
For years, reaching
30, or 40,
and cutting your hair
'in the boy'
was all one: think of your mothers and grandmothers, according to your age, and you will remember that
few long manes
wore from a certain moment. Among my grandmothers and aunts, only one of my grandmothers wore
a long white ponytail
until well into the 70s - of course, I never saw her
with a skirt either, she
only wore pants. At 'seventy-odd' she cut her hair and made herself
an ideal pixie,
not one of those
short carded ones,
which only confirmed
her aesthetic rebellion.
The reason that there was an age to cut the hair has
a structural and practical part:
"Over the years the hair changes, it tends to be finer and we tend to
have less quantity",
explains
Raquel Saiz
from Salón Blue by Raquel Saiz in Torrelavega (Cantabria). And the shorter, then less 'heavy', the hair looks with
more volume.
But there was also a
sociocultural
part
behind the fact of putting the scissors at a point in life. Today, and "thanks to
the canons of beauty and stereotypes
have evolved, a woman over 50 does not have to resort to the
classic short hair
or dye it blonde to
look younger",
says
Jesús Tornero,
creative director of Blow Dry Bar in Madrid. "The beauty of each one
lies in staying true
to its style and essence and adapting the look over the years
without losing personality",
reflects the hairdresser.
So, forget Carolina Herrera, women over 40
can wear long hair ...
or short, or medium, or whatever they see fit.
Having clarified this, there are haircuts that refresh the look and give it
a more youthful appearance.
, and the time to join them is now ... or as soon as fall arrives.
The bob cut, an extra energy and volume
Cate Blanchett, a fifties with a bob.
That
the bob
- in its straight version, also known as carré - is a wild cut at any age, it seems that it has already been clear to us.
But, after 40, it has
a rejuvenating extra.
"With a bob
we give more energy
and volume; it is very modern, it updates us and hence it rejuvenates. And if we need to give it a bit of body, we can resort to layers", details Raquel Saiz.
For Jesús Tornero, Cate Blanchett's bob (52) "is ideal to have a
sophisticated look: it
takes years away and at the same time it can be a very
casual and youthful look
if it is styled with
soft waves".
In short: the pixie, better disheveled
Sharon Stone's pixie, a style to follow at 63 ... and before and after.
"Another of the cuts that brings freshness and, in addition,
hides the lack of density,
is the
pixie",
Raquel Saiz declares without hesitation.
It can be worn
with short or very long bangs
-the length gives a lot of play, Sharon Stone (63) takes advantage of its versatility to comb it backwards, or forwards, with a more 90s roll ...-, and it admits
multiple hairstyles.
And the hairdresser adds a trick: "If we give the pixie a
disheveled effect
we will not only have a vital look, we will also make it seem that the hair is not scarce or that it is fine."
Jesús Tornero adds, among the advantages of the pixie, that he 'personifies' in the now historical Halle Berry (54), which looks just as good with color or
with gray hair,
if desired.
The long bob and XXL lengths: perfect from 40 ... if worn like this
Julia Roberts (53) with a long wavy bob.
There are also options for medium cuts, for those who do not want to "lose
the essence of long hair",
as Tornero points out.
Like the
long bob by Julia Roberts
(53), which "lightens the length
with layers for movement
and a more youthful look."
And ... can you wear
an XXL hair?
"There is Demi Moore's (62), always with an impeccable shine and a considerable length, ideal to be
worn extra-smooth
or slightly wavy," defends the hairdresser.
