Pixie
Anyone for a pixie cut? Pretty bold! This style won’t necessarily make you look younger, but it will make you feel like an entirely different woman. When you think about it, the last time your hair was this short was when you were a toddler! The pixie cut, whether messy or clear, works either way. It is also a fantastic way to stay cool during the hotter seasons. As you can see from the picture below, you can be any age and still pull off “The Pixie”.

Pixie
Grown Outcropped Hair
If you’re in the middle of growing your hair, perhaps after getting over the pixie cut, or just considering this look, then you’ve made a great choice. Keeping the length just above the collar bone will give you that youthful look. If your hair grows longer, then trimming it immediately is necessary. Forget about plastic surgery and opt for this chic look instead. The outcropped look will slim your face down and frame it elegantly.

Layered Side Swept Bangs Shoulder Length
When you find that your hair is limp or lacking body go for this type of look. Not only will the emphasis be in your eyes, but the layers will give your hair loads of volume. Plus, it’s cheaper than getting a facelift. Bangs are rather difficult to perfect, so make sure that your hairdresser knows what he or she is doing. Otherwise, you might end up with a zig-zag mess that looks like you did it yourself.

LayBob
This style helps to frame your face in a flattering way. If you have a more angular face shape, opt for a chin-length bob instead. Also, if you want this look but have naturally tight curls, you are going to require more layering. The beauty of this hairstyle is that it is neat and cute while allowing more personal touches than other kinds. You can also get a lot more volume out of the layered bob.

Long Bob
Now this hairstyle, the long bob at chin length, never gets old. It is also not a high-maintenance hairstyle, and it comes with far more options than you can imagine. The long bob is a firm favorite among dazzling celebs like Kim Kardashian, Priyanka Chopra, and Chrissy Teigen. We love how they have each managed to make them look their own. The blunt cut long bob variety is best maintained with a texture spray. If you want your collarbones to really stand out, go for this look.

Soft Long Layers with Face Framing Pieces
Do you have thin hair? Then this style is for you! It helps to add volume which gives your face a thinner and smaller frame. It sure beats operation costs and plastic surgery. Layering is such a fantastic thing due to how versatilely you can introduce it into most lengths of hair. If you want to maintain this look, however, you can expect a lot of upkeep. The length and layers both need a fair amount of work, so prepare yourself!

Choppy Bob
This is the perfect style for ladies with a heart or oval face shape, so please scratch off “get a facelift” when looking at ways to look younger. Just ensure that you don’t get too many layers, and inform your stylist to cut your hair dry to ensure accurately placed layers. The choppy bob is a combination of many tiny layers. You will add an incredible amount of texture to your bob for a dynamic look with an incredible amount of definition.
Choppy Bob
Choppy Layers
This hairstyle has uneven multiple layers that many celebrities are sporting these days. Choppy layers create volume and counteract gauntness. Just make sure that when you’re getting this look that the sides are no more than half an inch shorter than the back so that it is proportional around the head. Choppy layers are made with a bold cut, bringing greater definition and volume to your hair. You can expect to stand out in an edgy way with this look.
Choppy Layers
Wavy Bob
Donning a wavy chin-length bob helps to elongate the neck and offers you a youthful look. Adding some bangs will give the illusion of fuller roots. You can pin your hair up in various places to try different lengths out, or let it all hang out with a bouncy cheerfulness. The wavy bob requires that you use a curling iron to maintain the shape and volume if you do not have naturally wavy or curly hair.
Wavy Bob
Wispy Lob
Getting this look means that you can leave the idea of plastic surgery in the past. Ensure that you get the length that skims the collarbone to get a more slimming look. Easy as pie. If you cannot pull off the previous styles due to how thin your hair is, then the wispy bob is the answer to your prayers. You can bring an incredibly light and refreshing makeover to your whole appearance this way.

Heavy Bangs
This is a very classic hairstyle and you can never go wrong with it. Giving you a soft full fringe, plus the bangs go one step further by hiding those fine lines on your forehead. If you are in your 30s, this look is the ultimate one to flatter your face. This is an excellent way to add some intrigue and mystery to your beauty, and if you would like to draw more attention, then heavy bangs are your best friend.

Layers are for every single face shape and frame. To get that youthful look, get this cut just below the shoulders. Isn’t that easier than surgery? We’d say so. This is a fantastic way to get the most out of your hair that you have spent so much time and effort growing out. Your hair will turn into art, especially if you get an incredible dye job, as Jessica Biel did in the picture below.

Youthful Curls
Always wanted some curls? then your wish is about to come true. When you tack on some loose, thick curls, it helps to soften your appearance, giving you an instant facelift. Job done. As we grow older, our hair tends to thin, and curls will make our fading glory seem just as sprucely as it was when we were youngsters. Rachel Weisz in the picture below has a fair amount of product in her hair to keep everything firm and glossy, so do not be afraid to do the same.
Youthful Curls
Blunt Cut
This hairstyle is often considered the cut if you are looking to appear younger, as it is versatile, classy, and easy to maintain. Also, a blunt cut helps your hair appear healthier, stronger, and thicker. You should sport this look as straight as possible to show off the sleekness of your hair. That being said, there is nothing wrong with adding some waves or some small curls to mix up the look. This look is the definition of youthful!
Blunt Cut
Streaked and Stacked
This look is for ALL the low-maintenance women out there. The streaked and stacked look is what you ladies have been looking for. All that’s required is to wake up in the morning like normal, run a comb through your hair, and voila! You’re done (when it comes to your hair at least, the wardrobe is a whole other story). This hairstyle also means no more hairstylists, because layered bobs retain their shape as they grow out over time.

Pixie Bob with Stacked Side Bang

Not only will this look have a fresh and edgy vibe, but it also won’t appear so out-there that you cannot and conquer the world in full-fledged glory. This is an excellent way to transition from a pixie cut into something longer, taking around six to nine months.

When choosing a short bob, just make sure it’s the one with the soft ends which go past the chin.

You can really soften your features with these soft ends, making yourself seem more approachable. You can bet that people will react far more sweetly to you!

You can’t go wrong if you are thinking about getting this hairstyle. It is a fresh and edgy look at the back that appears longer in the front. You can rock this hairstyle straight or wavy, both are gorgeous. This look is often regarded as the female version of a mid-life crisis, but we have to disagree, as we think that anyone can look like a rockstar, no matter how old. Shoot first and ask questions later, ladies!
Asymmetrical Bob
Angled Bob
This hairstyle will graze the bottom of your jawline, the reason being that this cut will help you attain a youthful appearance. Women with finer hair will have to cut the ends bluntly, to give the illusion of thicker hair. The angled bob is generally kept above the shoulders, just lower than the jawline. If you have thin hair then the angled bob is the ideal bob choice. If you were worried that the bob would not work out for you, then give this one a chance.

Classic Bob
We have gone through quite a fancy variety of bob styles, but sometimes it is best to go back to basics. You should never feel like you are being boring when you decide to go for the classic bob. This look gives off an instant facelift as it carries more focus from the chin towards the nape of your neck. This gives off the impression of a raised cheekbone and higher jawline. What cosmetic surgery would charge you, you get for free with this look.

Thick Wavy Locks
This hairstyle is not high maintenance at all. As you can see from the picture of the illustrious Keira Knightley, this is a wild and bushy look. All it requires; put your hair in a ponytail and grab a curler, and curl think chunks of hair at a time. When curls are cooled down, loosen the pony and add a touch of hairspray. This should take about five minutes, and you are ready to step out in style.
Thick Wavy Locks
High Ponytail
A high ponytail will draw the eyes up, giving the facial skin a gentle upward lift, basically, a free facelift. To create extra volume to your hair, tease the hair around the crown of your head. Make sure you do this before you gather your hair into a ponytail around 1-2 inches above eye-level at the back of your head, and don’t forget to leave a few pieces out to help frame your face before you tie it tight.
High Ponytail
Soft Bangs
Lea Michelle knows how to rock the soft bangs. We recommend them, for starters, they help to hide forehead wrinkles and if you sweep them over to the side, you are drawing attention to the outside of your cheekbones which adds the illusion of a wider face. If you feel like your face could use some filling out then soft bangs are the perfect way to add some strength and confidence to your beauty and presence.
Soft Bangs
Low Ponytail
A low ponytail helps to create a subtle yet, centralized pull on the skin lifting the cheeks and boosts the brow. Start by teasing the hair, next, gather it into a ponytail 1-2 inches above the neck. Now, split the ponytail into halves, one atop and the other a bottom half. Tease the back of the top section of your hair to boost the ponytail’s volume. This is a fancier version of the easiest way to keep your hair out of your face, and it looks divine.
Low Ponytail
Beachy Waves
This hairstyle is great for uneven tone or irregular skin texture, such as acne scars or brown marks. Soft waves help distract from skin irregularities. Gather sections of your hair with a large-barrel iron, roll each section and secure them with a clip to help them set. After the hair cools down, release the clip and shake out and comb lightly with your fingers. Don’t use hairspray though because you want to keep the curls looking free-flowing with healthy and touchable curls.

Medium Layered Haircut
Adding subtle honey highlights to this look will easily make it far more wonderful, especially if you have a fair complexion.

The medium style coupled with blonde highlights will provide shoulder-length hair with a lovely blending between dark and light.

Twisted Bun
For the ladies with long hair, here is a chic look that elongates the sides of your face as they draw the eye up from the cheekbone and instead up toward the fullness of the crown. Make sure you wash your hair one or two days before so that the natural oils give it a better texture for the ultimate grip. Add some texturizing powder to the roots before pulling the hair back into a high but loose ponytail. Use both hands to gently twist the ponytail’s end into a bun.

Braided Crown
if you want a facelift without all the needles then opt for the braided crown, as it creates an effective pull on your face. Just part hair, whether wet or dry, right down the middle and into pigtails. Secure each end with a hair tie then remove the ties to braid each tail. The next step is to re-secure each end with a tie, and then bring one braid across to the opposite side over the top of your head, secure it with hairpins, and do the same with the other pigtail.
