8. Wave Away From Your Face

Did you know that the direction of your waves can influence how old you look? It’s not common knowledge, but now that you’re aware, make sure to use it to your advantage! Stylists recommend styling your waves away from your face rather than toward it if you want to appear younger. This technique, often called “face-framing waves,” can subtly but significantly enhance your overall look. Waves styled away from the face create an open, lifted appearance that can define your facial features more clearly and give you a more youthful vibe. This outward direction also softens facial contours, helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, waves angled away from the face can add volume and movement to your hair, which is often associated with a more youthful look. When using this technique, consider your face shape and hair length to determine the most flattering starting point for your waves. By ensuring your waves flow away from your face, you can create a softer, more youthful appearance. Try this the next time you use a curling iron and see the difference for yourself. Experiment with different curl sizes and textures to find what works best for your face shape and hair type.
