What Crops Refresh Your Look

So, what does it take to look fresh and beautiful? A good smile and a good mood. Jokes aside, a coif is important as well. When deciding on the right look, you need to consider the style, length, and color that would flatter you most. The right style enhances your best facial features, like your eyes, your cheekbones, or bold brows which takes any unflattering signs off your face.

What do hairstylists recommend? Most often they offer their clients to crop the length or at least make layers, consider baby bangs/fringe, and of course, refresh the hair color with a new shade, highlights, or dimensional lowlights.

A few words about crops that make you older. First of all, these are all the crops that don’t flatter your face shape, are not well-cared for (outgrown roots, matte strands, frizzy split ends, oily roots), or are worn just in one hairstyle (e.g., a tight gray bun). Secondly, if you don’t want to seem older, don’t choose too short crops, long flat hair, baby bangs, too light bleached hair colors, oversized bouffants, and beehives.

When picking the coifs that take years off you, you need to focus on the length, color, and style you are opting for. From loose waves and tight curls to sleek bobs and long layers, we have offered 30 gorgeous ideas that would add volume and dimension to your locks making you fresher than ever before.
