1/11

Feeling frustrated because all the age-defying lotions and potions you slather onto your skin just don’t seem to be able to revive the special spark and pep in your step that you recall having back in the day?

The problem may very well reside in the cut of your coiffure. A dated ‘do and dull colour could be making you look older and more tired than you really are. Need some inspo for a snazzy new snip and cut?

Check out these nine real-life hair makeovers plus handy age-reversal hair tips courtesy of the #GetItFixed Team from Chez Vous Hair Salon, and have fun letting your hair down!

A LOB – NOT A TAYLOR SWIFT EXCLUSIVE

2/11

A long bob is perfect for nearly all hair types and textures, but is particularly flattering if your hair texture is on the drier and unrulier end of the spectrum. Why? Frizzy hair can puff up at the ends, creating an unflattering triangular mass of hair around your face.

On the other hand, if you keep your hair just past your shoulders as per a lob, that extra length will weigh down your hair and prevent any poofiness. Makes a whole lot of sense if you think about it, yes?

SHINE SOME ‘LIGHT’ ONTO YOUR FACE

3/11

One of the most effortless and effective tricks for turning back time is framing one’s face with carefully placed highlights. Remember, these are supposed to be subtle and well-blended.

Otherwise, you may look ‘retro’, and not in a good way – think Avril Lavigne’s chunky and garish highlights back in the early Noughties.

GAME FOR A PIXIE CUT?

4/11

Most women shy away from a pixie because of its undeserved rep as an overly drastic cut, but trust us when we say that this spiffy style is a game changer. Both soft and blunt bangs will conceal the fine lines and wrinkles on your forehead, while the ends that stop short of your chin will frame your face beautifully.

The best part? It’s a cinch to maintain: Simply rub in a tiny dollop of shaping clay in the mornings and you’ll be good to go.

THE BOB IS YOUR HAIR’S BEST FRIEND

5/11

Sporting a bob can really open up your face and show off your cheekbones for a classic yet super cool vibe. If your skin is starting to show signs of sagging, do not opt for a blunt bob; instead, gun for lots of layers and side-swept bangs to soften any angular lines and frame your face to lend the illusion of a fuller and fresher appearance.

WOMEN WITH CURLS HAVE MORE FUN

6/11

You don’t always have to cut off all your hair to look younger. Sometimes, all you need is to stay away from stick-straight and centre-parted hair around your face. If your hair is full and frizz-free, opt for soft and buoyant curls – this will also help to disguise a less-than-perfect neck.

HEALTHY HAIR IS STILL INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT

7/11

Strong and shiny hair will always look youthful and attractive, no matter your age. Your daily homecare matters! As with your skincare regime, you should commit to a four-step routine for your hair (think shampoo, conditioner, masque and a leave-in serum).

If your hair has already been badly damaged, consider treating yourself to Chez Vous’ Hair Botox & Fillers semi-permanent therapy programme (from $405) to breathe life back into your locks.

GO LIGHTER TO LOOK YOUNGER

8/11

Dark and solid hair colours can ‘age’ your face. Opt for one or two shades lighter than your natural colour, and then add subtle highlights for good measure for a more youthful vibe.

On the other hand, avoid going overly light as well; this might look tacky and artificial, especially if you’re Asian. Of course, this all boils down to preference and charisma, so feel free to rock all the colours of the wind if you really want to.

LAYERS ARE LIKE HAIR ‘CONCEALERS’

9/11

Layers work wonders in softening your features and in downplaying the appearance of wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Layering your locks also creates the much-needed volume most women need when they age. Bottom-heavy hair can drag your face down, adding age to your look and making your face appear droopy.

With the right layering by an experienced hairstylist, one can redistribute the weight of the hair back up to the crown, making you appear more awake and youthful.

SWEEP OFF THE YEARS BY BRINGING ON THE BANGS

10/11

Side-swept or layered bangs exude elegance and are far from being schoolgirl-ish. Soft bangs cover your hairline and draw focus away from any fine lines on your face. Avoid blunt bangs as this can call unnecessary attention to puffiness and lines around one’s eyes; they can also box in your face rather than opening it up.

Bottomline: You can continue being conscientious with your anti-ageing skincare regime, but head to Chez Vous Salon and you may just be able to take years off virtually instantly.
