Is Your Hairstyle Right for Your Age?

You want to look and feel your sexiest no matter how old you are. But what hairstyles will allow you to strut your stuff while remaining age-appropriate and able to tone it down for the office? We have the dish on the hottest hairstyles for every age.

No matter how old you are, your hair will always tie into how attractive you feel. Your mane is an accessory to your personality and unique sense of style, so it only makes sense for your hairstyle to look healthy and help you feel your most gorgeous. Here are some of the best hairstyles to keep you looking--and feeling--sexy at any age.

"Teens can normally get away with anything, but this is a great time to be girly and flirty," Our stylists say. They recommends keeping your hair natural without too much product, and don't rush to color your hair--there'll be plenty of time for that later! Try playing with ponytails, twists, buns, braids and fun hair accessories. "Rather than trying to make yourself look older, embrace the innocence of youth!"

"By the time you reach your twenties, it's time to express your own sense of fashion." our stylists say. Your  hairstyle will need to go a variety of places, so versatility is key. You want a style that can looked polished and smooth for work and nicer events, but can be totally sexified à la Blake Lively, 23, when you're on dates or out on the town.

 

By the time you reach your thirties, you know what makes you feel the most attractive and confident. Our stylists say, "Well-groomed mid-length or long hairstyles--either layered or one-length--look great. Classic or graduated bobs are another stylish option." To add youthfulness to your hair, add face-framing highlights, like Penelope Cruz's, 36, subtle caramel streaks, that draw attention to your gorgeous eyes.

Zoe Saldana, 32, enhances her soft, wavy bob with an alluring smoky eye.  The Avatar star truly came into the public eye in her late twenties and early thirties, and she's definitely come a long way, style-wise, since her Center Stage and Crossroads (yes, the Britney Spears movie).

 

By your forties in terms of the shape and style of your cut, our stylsits say to stick with what makes you feel young and beautiful. They add, "Now is the time when--for most women--gray starts to creep in. If your gray areas cover less than 25% of your hair, then some subtle highlights will be enough to cover them. If you're in the 25% to 50% gray range, then you need an all-over demi-permanent, single process hair color to take the grey away. If you're more than 50% gray go for a permanent, single process.

long hair,  an edgy crop, curls--it doesn't matter when it comes to Halle Berry, 44. The stunning actress can pull off pretty much any hairstyle (well, we haven't seen her in a bowl cut, but she'd probably rock that, too), although as she's entered her 40's, Berry seems to be sticking with a fierce pixie.

As we head into the fifties and beyond "If, by now, your hair is becoming finer, thinner, or weaker, consider a shorter, textured style. A short haircut allows the hairs of your head to sit on top of one another, giving you the illusion of thickness (as opposed to a long hairstyle, which will hang straight down and consequently appear even more fine and thin)," our stylists say. Helen Mirren is still considered a stone-cold fox at the age of 65.
