What if a hair refresher was enough to boost your youth capital? Changing haircuts and styles is never trivial. Some do it to assert their personality, others to turn their backs on the past or simply to gain a few years. Because shortening tired lengths or bringing movement and structure to a hairstyle has a real rejuvenating effect. And no matter the choice of the cut, Alexis Parente, hairstylist, recommends favoring your texture and your natural color as much as possible.
Haircut: 5 ideas to regain freshness and dynamism
Adopt the square
Smooth, wavy, curly, mid-length or short, there are a multitude of squares. “The more we go up towards the jaws, the more it will give style and have a rejuvenating effect.“, specifies Alexis Parente. The ultra dynamic version ideal for active women? When it is cut at the level of the earlobe. it can give a heavy appearance to the whole.To be maintained every two months.
Note: the square adapts to all morphologies and all styles! Smooth, it has something stronger, while its wavy version softens the features.
Fall for the fringe
Do you want to keep the length? Just add some structure with straight or tapered bangs that go down to your eyebrows, but don’t hide your eyes. Not only does the fringe have the advantage of hiding wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes, but it also gives a more youthful appearance to the face. To be maintained every 2 or 3 weeks.
Note: bangs are not always suitable for small faces, do not hesitate to ask your hairdresser for advice!
Show a gradient
Put some rock in your life with a gradient, a bit like Jennifer Aniston. You can ask your hairdresser to do it on the mid-length (max) but the shorter the cut, the more it energizes the face. But with a fade, styling is essential. Alexis Parente recommends texturizing the hair with dedicated products and bringing movement to give volume. To be maintained every 3 to 4 months.
Note: if the gradient is well done, it is a cut that ages well and requires very little maintenance.
Try the mullet cut
The mullet was already a big talk in the 80s. Readapted to today’s tastes, it is the rock’n’roll cut par excellence, which brings freshness and allure to the face. The mule would even have the advantage of refining some of them. On the other hand, it requires a lot of maintenance so that the cut remains dynamic. To be refreshed every month.
Note: the mullet is not suitable for all body types and the pro does not necessarily recommend it for people with round or small faces.
Dare the very short
Imagine Jean Seberg or Cristina Cordula. This very short cut with “masculine” aspects with clear ear contours, the short neck and a mini fringe is full of cachet. It is an ultra dynamic and timeless alternative that is particularly suitable for small faces. To be maintained every 4/5 weeks.
Note: remember to work the cut with wax in order to define it well and to texturize the fiber.
