You've decided that going gray and stay that way. And maybe you think you should look at hairstyles for gray hair. After all, a 40 year old should not choose a hairstyle that a 20 year old would, right? No, wrong!
And just because we get older does not necessarily mean there is less chance of hair that would be appropriate for a woman + 40? No, of course not! You just do not want to get carried away by the use of pig tails or pony tails side, for example.
Your age has little to do with a hair style that is right for you. In fact, there are plenty of hairstyles that are classic and if you think about it, you've seen yourself. Think Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" and what about the famous Peggy Lee with "platinum" hair?
Think of other classic hairstyles used by celebrities. Short total cut of Princess Diana and Barbara Streisand's elegant, long bob. What about the not so famous, flashy, sexy gray-haired woman you know. They have some things in common. They have done their homework and found a style that was flattering to the face, not your age. So, like any important decision to make:
Do your homework!
1. If you have a good stylist, you have to find one. No, not one that specializes in haircuts for gray hair - just a good stylist. Be brave and ask a stranger, "who has hair" Who would not want to hear that question flattering? And you get some good guidance. Win, win!
2. On his first visit to the stylist not shampoo immediately. Discuss the options while your hair is dry so the stylist can see the hair in its natural state.
3. Be receptive to new ideas when talking to your stylist. A good stylist can give you advice on what works best for you.
4. Bring along a few pictures of hairstyles you like. You can help the stylist create something flattering that you will like.
5. Be realistic with what the stylist has to work. For example, if you have lines and wrinkles on the forehead, may be detrimental to them with pen or blows to the side swept bangs. Maybe you have crow's feet. Hide fringed sides gently framing her face.
6. Flatter your new haircut to amplify your makeup, standing up straight and make sure you have a bright white smile.
