Age is just a number — seriously, it is! Not only can you look and feel your most beautiful and confident at any age, but you should also experiment with your makeup, hair, and clothing and not wonder if you have the right to do so because you’re not a teenager anymore.
There is no age limit when it comes to style. If you feel like your hair has seen better days and that it could use a refresh, maybe it’s time to consider a more modern ‘do. Long, one-layered hair, hair that’s all one color without dimension, or hair that lacks movement can all make your skin look tired and make you look older than you are. The solution: find a skilled stylist and work together to make modifications that bring life and lift to your face.
Here are eight hairstyles and haircuts that prove age is just a number.

Wavy, Long Bob
A wavy, long bob with face-framing bangs like one sported by Halle Berry is a modern take on a classic hairstyle. It’s ideal for anyone who doesn’t want the maintenance of long hair, but also would prefer not to keep their hair super-short, as it falls anywhere between the chin and shoulder. This bob cut can be personalized by angling the bangs to highlight specific features on your face.

Middle-Length Face-Framing Haircut
If you have a round or oval face shape, the middle-length face-framing haircut can look especially chic on you. It has more length than the bob, but is still short enough to personalize with various layers tailored to suit your facial shape and facial features. And it’s equally beautiful on straight or curly hair.

Choppy Bob With Curtain Bangs
Another take on the classic bob: this time Lucy Hale sports hers with choppy layers that give her hair major movement and long curtain bangs that shape the face and draw attention to her cheekbones and eyes.

Blonde Pixie
Both the bixie and the blonde bixie are all the rage for trend-setters like Kristen Stewart. The “bixie” got its cute name by combining elements of a bob and pixie so that the hair is more cropped to the head than a bob, but also features longer pieces that can be styled. Kristen’s darker roots and lighter ends only draw attention to the cut and make it more funky and chic.

Feathered Cut With Wispy Bangs
Keri Russell’s feathered cut with wispy bangs takes weight off of the hair and lightens up the ends and fringe. The length is a lob, which is a perfect compromise between bob and long hair and sits at around the collarbone or slightly longer.

Classic Pixie
The classic pixie cut worn here by Kate Mara is the shortest on the list, but it also features slightly longer layers on top that you can style with gel or texture spray. Experiment with a slightly spiky ‘do or one that’s gelled to the side and sleek.

Shag Cut
Is there anything Taylor Swift touches that doesn’t turn to gold? In this case, her take on the ‘70s shag haircut is super inspirational. It features tapered side layers, soft fringe, and choppy ends with major movement. This is a great cut for making thinner hair look more voluminous.

Soft Layered Cut
If you’ve had long hair your entire life and aren’t willing to sacrifice length for style, you don’t have to. Turn to the influence of celebs like Jennifer Aniston, who rock longer hair with soft layers. This haircut looks youthful and modern because of its shape, which retains some bulk at the ends and plays with shorter layers on top.
