Update your look in an instant by avoiding hairstylist Ken Paves' top 10 styling no-nos.
Tip #1
Don’t stay with one style too long. Give yourself the decade test.
Tip #2
Feel like you need to get your mother's haircut because you turned a certain age? Don’t give in to the myth that at a certain age you have to lose sexy from your hair description!
Tip #3
Going for convenience rather than style? Compromising? Don't!
Tip #4
Taking it too the extreme—too long, too short, too light, too dark!
Tip #5
Mature hair tends to be dry and dull, it's time to shine!
Tip #6
No matter what your length, face framing and layers soften a mature face!
Tip #7
Do not overstyle. "Hair Dos" are a definite age giveaway!
Tip #8
Don’t fight it, go with the flow! Fighting with your hair leaves you and your hair looking tired! Celebrate the fact that your hair is unique.
Tip #9
The Big Bang: The story of the "mall bangs", the "bi level" and even "the lady mullet" will definitely date you.
Tip #10
Do not match your hair to any of your children or any of your pets, please!
