Thought about getting a bob or fringe, but never really took the plunge? We’re pretty sure this sounds familiar for a lot of women out there. Follow your instincts…these two hair trends are the most age-defying styles out there! Perfect if you’re looking for a youthful pick-me-up. So, which hair trends will make you look younger than others? Let’s take a look at the top 4.
 
Mid-length hair with bangs. A fringe is the perfect solution to hiding those pesky forehead wrinkles. But, don’t choose the curtain-style. Instead, opt for a layered, choppy fringe similar to Kate Moss. Take inspiration from the ultimate supermodel and copy her fringed hairstyle, which cleverly conceals any signs of ageing around the forehead.
 
Half-up half-down ponytail. Whether you prefer your half-up half-down ponytail to be braided or left loose, this style instantly opens up your face and softens features. Remember creating this hairstyle in college? This is exactly the reason why it knocks years off your look, especially if you leave a few loose strands. Add an interesting hair tie, such as a pretty ribbon or statement hair grip to personalise the style.
 
The bob. Whereas long styles tend to weigh down the hair, the bob has much more natural body and lifts the appearance of the face. There’s nothing like a good old bob to instantly knock a few years off your appearance. Why not pair it with a choppy side fringe for good measure and combine two trends into one!
 
Hairstyles with a side-parting. Contrary to what many magazines may tell us, the side parting is another style that gives off a youthful vibe. Wear yours with messy lengths and a layered fringe for an on-trend look. It’s really up to you whether you leave your fringe loose or clip it up with a bobby pin.
