Bangs are even high-maintenance but with a smoothing balm and frequent trims they are surprisingly easy to live with. I would suggest Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream- it holds flyaways back even in the dry winter air.
Personally, I am a big fan of the femininity that bangs add back to a hairstyle. They shape the eyes very pretty, and when you have the black hair or the deep brunette, the effect is very impressive.
It is a great way to remember that being sophisticated does not necessarily imply re-inventing the wheel. At times, it is best to lean into timeless shapes that have the most impact.
Soft Brunette Layers with Copper Touch
The layers are medium length combined with a touch of copper to form a dimensional and flattering style. It is unobtrusive, but full of personality, with a traditional brunette middle length cut with a contemporary twist. The coppery highlights reflect winter sunlight to warm the entire appearance.
To ensure that those copper strands continue to shine, I would bend towards color enhancing shampoos such as the Aveda Madder Root. They rejuvenate the warmth and maintain the highlights alive in between salon visits.
This approach reminds me of the comfortable evenings in a cashmere sweater- warm, fashionable and subtle. Above 40, it is one of the most complimentary methods as it picks the skin up without appearing to be strained.
During a month when we tend to hide our bodies, this hairstyle makes me remember that some glitz in our natural hair goes a long way.
Polished Blonde Ombre Waves
The gradual fade of dark roots to soft blonde ends makes this shoulder length cut have such depth. It is contemporary but understated, the type of colored hair that makes one feel strong in his or her workplace but also presentable in the evening. More than 40, this combination of natural sounding and polish is eternal.
In treatment, I would recommend alternating hydrating and strengthening interventions. Olaplex No. 3 is a staple to maintain ends healthy when you are lightening naturally brunette or black hair bases. The ombre is less maintenance than full bleach, hence it is highly winter-friendly.
It is one of those trends that are whispering confidence- not screaming to be noticed.
Layered Platinum Bob
This platinum layered short bob adds brightness and dimension that illuminates the face. In older women (above 40 years), it is a smart trick to add light colors without appearing flat. The cut is young and graceful because of the airy movement of the layers.
Since platinum is also one of the hardest colored hair shades to maintain, I would keep a violet toning conditioner such as Fanola No Yellow in stock. It spares you the burden of brassiness and maintains the tone in between salon visits.
This appearance to me is winter frost in hair- crisp, clean, and undoubtedly chic.
Vibrant Crimson Curls
Curly hair is magic in itself and combining it with a bright crimson color makes it even more beautiful. This fashion is not afraid of volume and shape and the warm red color makes it shine in the cold season. It is an ideal winter choice to those who are willing to adopt colored hair with a personality.
Curls require moisture- particularly during winter. I would use SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie to maintain the texture but not to ruin the red color.
I like this style because of its unashamed boldness. It has no fear of mixing texture and colored hair in a statement. It is playful and empowering.
Edgy Shaved Locs
This is an aggressive interpretation of locs, cut into a bold shaved-side cut that immediately draws the eye. It is cool, contemporary, and demonstrates how black hair can be adjusted to the daring winter styles. This appearance is a combination of innovation and tradition, which proves that loc styles can be developed indefinitely.
In order to keep soft locs, hydration is essential- light oils such as jojoba or argan keep the scalp and strands hydrated in dry winter winds. Satin pillow case also contributes to maintenance of the style.
I believe this hairstyle is a confidence. It is one of those few trends that is strong and at the same time creative- bold and beautiful.
Feathered Layers with Highlights
This style reinvites the feathered layers of the 70s but with contemporary highlights. The caramel strands interwoven with deep brown hair make it have a fresh and glowing finish that especially appears flattering on women aged above 40.
A light smoothing cream is essential to maintain this type of layered style. I would recommend the Invisible Oil by Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser- it keeps the flyaways in place but leaves those highlights to shine.
This appearance, in my opinion, is glamorous without being too hard. It is evidence that overlaying and small colored hair highlights can revitalize your entire style.
Textured Short Blonde Crop
This short blonde cut is easily made stylish with choppy texture and side-swept bangs. It is a fun approach to short winter styles, and it goes to show that cropped cuts can be versatile and feminine simultaneously.
Since this cut is shorter, it is easy to style- a dab of texturizing paste such as Ouai Matte Pomade will provide definition without making it stiff.
I adore the freedom of this hairstyle. It is free, stylish and you feel like welcoming cold months with an added burst of energy.
Soft Blonde Layers
This is a mid-length fashion that is soft and voluminous. The golden and platinum colors are used to make it light and the layers surrounding the face make it cut young and flattering. It is one of those medium lengths brunette looks that are lightened in winter freshness.
On the care side, I would suggest alternating moisturizing masks and toning conditioners. It maintains colored hair shiny and shiny.
This hairstyle seems to me a perfect combination of traditional and fashionable. It is casual but refined enough to wear to events.
Strawberry Blonde Pixie
This little pixie in strawberry blonde is a cute yet trendy variation of winter hair. It demonstrates that short colored cuts may be soft and edgy, depending on the way you wear them. The texture is layered giving the appearance movement.
In order to keep this color, I would suggest applying Davines Alchemic Conditioner in Copper- it adds to the color and prevents it to fade to dullness.
