The curly hair revolution: from invisibility to liberation
The best haircuts of 2022 for women over 50
This is how you have to dry your hair in the open air so that it looks almost like a hairdresser's (according to the hairdressers themselves)
Guess, guess.
What is the haircut that, no matter how old you are, favors all types of faces due to its versatility, which also
rejuvenates
when a few years have passed and, to top it off, is in trend?
The answer exists,
that haircut that rejuvenates is a reality, and hairdressers support this theory.
But before launching into discovering what it is, and revealing all
its secrets and hairstyle tricks,
it should be said that, despite the fact that one cut stands out above others in that of taking years off us,
it is not the only way to appear jovial
thanks to the hair .

Long hair makes you older and other myths to banish
If we talk about the indissoluble binomial of debate that is
haircut and age,
just as there are cuts that add volume to
fine hair
as if by the art of birlibirloque, others have, in effect, a similar result to drinking from the fountain of
eternal youth.
However, perhaps this hair style is not what we think.
Because for a long, long time, it was said that
from a certain age,
the short look, pixie or garçon type, was the only option.
For example, our grandmothers, or at least mine, and even my mother, who turned 40, some, and 50, another,
cut off their pigtails
like a posh bullfighter.
Thus we arrive today with a truth like a temple: that long hair can also
be worn with style,
elegance, and without adding a single year to the DNI, at all ages.
This
'revolutionary' theory
is supported by the hairdresser
David Lorente
(with a salon of the same name in Madrid), who underlines that "it is thought that
long hair makes you older
and when you get older you have to sacrifice centimeters and, however, that
is not true" .
And he explains the theory with practice.
"It is in the French that we should pay attention: the aptly named 'french bob', the
long and open bangs
on maxi hair, the layers that defend so well women who have already turned 45 like
Marion Cotillard, Caroline de Maigret, Inés de la Fressange
are the cuts that
rejuvenate the features
and the look in general", he affirms resoundingly.

This is the haircut that rejuvenates you
Open the melon of everything that rejuvenates if we talk about hair, the time has come to present
the cut that rejuvenates
above all, the one on which the scissors experts agree.
And this is it, drum roll... The historic bob.
Bearing in mind a reality, which is that as time goes by,
the hair becomes thinner
and, therefore, "it is essential to look for
cuts that enhance volume",
as David Lorente underlines, if one had to choose just one cut, "it would be
a
slightly
parted , off-the-shoulder
bob
with long, angled, built-in bangs that blend easily into the sides," continues the hairdresser.
This cut flatters almost all types of faces,
square, round and oval.
Very much in agreement with Lorente, but with a slight nuance, is the hairdresser
Verónica Castro,
from
Vanitas Espai
(Barcelona): "A very short bob can take a year off, it's better to choose a long bob, perfect for all ages."
The reason for the success of the bob is that "
with a good brushing
you can create a modern look but without going overboard, and if you apply a
texturizing wax
or a salt spray you can give it a much more beachy vibe that is very flattering", defends Castro. .

How to style the cut that most rejuvenates
When it comes to styling the bob with the maximum rejuvenating effect, "in the case of
straight hair
, it requires the
minimum effort
and it will be enough to
dry it in the air
so that everything fits;
with waves
it is even more youthful and it would only be necessary to work a little
more the bangs,
if worn", says David Lorente.
In fine or sparse hair, it will be better to have a side parting which, as the expert continues, suggests more volume, in addition to working with the brush each strand in one direction, to
optically open the hair.
And if you have curls or waves?
"It is better not to try to discipline them and take advantage
of the extra thickness
they simulate," recommends the hairdresser.
Verónica Castro also points out that a very lopsided
and textured
bob looks very modern
on fine faces.
And she adds that,
with a parting in the middle,
it changes completely because it gives
a more youthful air.
One last note from Castro: "If you wear bangs, changing it to the side is curious and also brings
a new look to the look"
oh!
and a final warning: "Careful!
Carding
puts years on it," says David Lorente.
Other cuts that rejuvenate
With the bob as the clear winner, other opinions coexist about
the cuts that rejuvenate the most.
"In general, trend cuts renew our image and help us show a younger attitude. It is what happens with shorts like the pixie, bixie or mullet that take years away thanks to the fact that they are fresh and up-to-date", he declares.

Llata Carrera
hairdressing salon
(Santa Cruz de Bezana, Cantabria).
To make them even more attractive, the expert recommends
wearing them slightly disheveled
and with bangs.
