What haircuts make you look older — Avoid these haircuts in 2025
Share
Facial wrinkles can appear as early as the age of 20, especially if a person is very emotional and uses facial expressions a lot. We smile, furrow brows — and the skin on our face gradually "remembers" these movements. But could bangs have an impact on your facial wrinkles?
Novyny.LIVE will tell you more about hairstyles that don't work in your favor.
How a hairstyle can affect your appearance
Cosmetologists explain that if your bangs are too long or cover your eyes, you have to narrow your eyes all the time. This, in turn, strains your forehead and causes wrinkles. But if the hairstyle is comfortable and doesn't interfere with your eyes, it's okay, it doesn't cause additional stress on the facial muscles.
However, it's not just bangs that can influence your look — certain haircuts can also add years. For instance, a sleek chin-length bob with a center part often "weighs down' facial features, creating a somber appearance and highlighting subtle skin changes.
If the face has lost some elasticity, this style can further accentuate sagging skin and wrinkles, particularly in the cheeks and lower third of the face. On the other hand, soft waves, light layers, or added volume at the roots can create a fresher, more youthful look.
The main culprit behind premature wrinkles is active facial expressions. Constantly furrowing the forehead or raising the eyebrows leads to earlier wrinkle formation — whether you have bangs or not.
Interestingly, personality type also plays a role. Calm, phlegmatic individuals tend to stay wrinkle-free longer, while the energetic, expressive choleric type — who frequently gesture and emote — develops wrinkles much sooner.
The takeaway is simple: bangs aren’t the real culprit — our facial expressions are. However, if your hairstyle obstructs your vision or accentuates facial changes, opting for something lighter, fresher, and more comfortable might be the better choice
