- 5 Unflattering Medium-Length Hairstyles To Never Wear Over 40—And What To Try Instead: Overly Layered, More (shefinds.com)
Local stylists weigh in on medium-length haircuts that may not be the most flattering for women over 40. Of course, personal style always comes first, but if you’re looking to refresh your look, these tips might offer some inspiration.
Overly layered cuts can sometimes backfire. While layers add movement and volume, too many can leave hair looking choppy and thin, especially for those with fine hair. A more balanced approach with fewer, longer layers and blunt ends can create a more polished look.
Long, one-length, stick-straight hair can appear flat, particularly if your hair is thin. Adding some layers or texture can create the illusion of fullness and body.
Baby bangs, while trendy for some, can be tricky to pull off with medium-length hair and may appear severe. Softer, longer bangs can be more flattering and highlight your features.
Similarly, blunt, square bangs can also create a harsh look. Adding texture and movement to the bangs can soften the face and add a touch of playfulness.
Finally, center parts can accentuate thinning hair. A side part, currently a popular style, can be a simple way to create volume and camouflage any sparseness.
