Kevin Briceño, stylist: “From the age of 50, invisible layers and side bangs give volume and rejuvenate without having to cut the hair"

The arrival of summer is always a good time to change your look and opt for more current haircuts that follow the trends of the moment and flatter us. Of course, wanting to give a change to our hair does not always mean cutting corners, but we can also preserve our long hair by implementing techniques that make us look better.

Thus, cuts such as the butterfly cut stand out (butterfly cut) which, as its name indicates, is inspired by butterfly wings. “Consists in long layers very well integratedwhere the upper ones frame the face and the lower ones maintain the length. This style adds volume and movement without sacrificing length, creating an ethereal and youthful effect. “It's perfect for those who want a subtle change.”.

Likewise, Kevin tells us about another resource that is in vogue: invisible layers. In this technique, the hair is staggered internally so that the layers are not noticeable to the naked eye. . “Unlike traditional marked layers, here a very soft effect is sought: the hair gains volume and light fall, but without obvious cuts being seen. The result is a natural and sophisticated finish. Many women of fine hair “They opt for invisible layers to give body without losing visual density.”.

In this sense, the expert tells us that “The inner layers provide volume and very natural movement without giving it away. In addition, the hair falls fluidly, gently framing the face on both sides. This style demonstrates how you can wear long hair lightly: the tips move and are not heavy, giving an elegant but casual look“.

But be careful because bangs can also be considered a great option. “He curtain bangs long and open remains a favorite to accompany long layers, giving a boho chic air; the thick straight bangs in the French style add mystery and frame the look; and in medium-length hair we see light fringed bangs that barely touch the eyebrows, adding style without overloading.”

In short, as Kevin Briceño tells us, “well-cut long hair is always synonymous with boho luxury.” And that is precisely the key after 50: avoid the heavy effect of a single length and opt for layers that provide movement, soften the face and add volume without losing density or giving up length.
