Hair Color

Hair Length
Here, people seem to get divided. However, you may have noticed that as both women and men tend to get older, their hairstyles tend to become shorter. This is because shorter hair is generally associated more with youthfulness and an active lifestyle. However, you have to make sure to not overstep the thin line between a youthful, short look and a too short, wrongly accentuating facial features look. The best way to avoid getting the latter is by sticking to lengths that go from the middle of the neck to the chin. There are plenty of variations of this length, from the lob (long bob) to the layered pixie.

Volume

You can achieve some volume by going for hairstyles such as layered ones. You can also use hair products such as some hairspray, but use it in smaller quantities.
