Halle Berry. error

It is always said that bows have a lifting effect but not just any type of bow will do. This one, for example, with a lot of volume in the updo, puts a few years on the spectacular Halle since it gives it a more authoritative air. It's like Miss Rottenmeier's bow.

Hairstyles that take away or make you age

Color. Changing hair color is one of the most essential aspects. Many women have the false belief that blondes have years left, but this is not the case in all cases. Ideally, wear your hair one or two shades lighter than your natural tone and then add lighter highlights that provide light. But you should not go overboard with an excessive contrast because it does not favor much. The same thing happens with shades that are too dark, as they help to further define expression lines and harden the face.
Cuts. Another of the most repeated gestures by thousands of women when they reach 50 or even earlier is to cut their hair. It is true that at a certain age the hair becomes weaker, but if this is not your case, a long or medium and well-groomed mane will rejuvenate your appearance. If you go for the pixie, stick with the versions with long bangs, because they allow you to play with it more and are fresher and more youthful. One of the best options is the bob or long bob cut. Better if it has layers and movement than the more extreme straight ones.
Bangs. Bangs tend to remove decades instantly. First, because they hide some wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes; and second, because they give a more youthful appearance. Opt for bangs angled at the level of the cheekbones (also in collected ones) or for open and pointed bangs that soften your features.
Collected. In general, avoid too polished and tight updos because they harden the face a lot. Choose more romantic hairstyles, with braids and a bit of volume on the crown or forehead, or those with a casual nature, such as high ponytails. Or if you dare, the half up bun. Don't miss the coolest hairstyles of the season.
