Channel 4\'s 10 Years Younger hair guru Andrew Barton says: \'Mature clients usually call for hairstyles with softness. I often use razors or slicing techniques with my scissors to achieve softer lines. Hard lines are a definite no-no; this includes blunt fringes.
Graduation shapes work well, creating volume and support in the underneath of a haircut instead of producing short layers on top. Short layers combined with longer hair at the sides looks a little too like Spaniel\'s ears (think Camilla Parker-Bowles).\'
Think in 3-D

\'Many women don\'t realise their hair is a three-dimensional rather than one-dimensional object and many are often only bothered about how their hair looks from the front. The comment from clients is often, "ohhh I love the back", as they don\'t usually see the back themselves and tend to spend very little time on it which can compromise the finished effect.
Hairlines should be cut softly and where possible following the natural movement of the hair\'s growth pattern.\'
Evolve your style

\'As people age the hair shaft\'s diameter does diminish and therefore it is sometimes more difficult to achieve body which is flattering. The degree of change is related to genetics, but also is hormonal as oestrogen production levels reduce later in life. With this in mind hair should be worn simpler and not over dressed. Follow a recommended hair care regime by your hairdresser that will increase shine and manageability levels.
The worst mistake women make as they age is hanging onto the same style for years and not progressing their image.\'

Akin Konizi, International Art Director for hob salons and current London Hairdresser of the Year 2005/6 says: \'Hairstyles should be governed by your hair type, face shape, the right cut for you and how you manage your own hair, and not so much by age issues.
Long, very straight hair can be unforgiving and so softer, natural waves are better as you get older. Very long hair worn loose often looks wrong on ladies over 50; mid-length and shorter hair is much more complimentary as a rule and easier to keep in good condition. But it does depend on the individual\'
Its in the stars

\'Stars that have got it right include Sarah Jessica Parker, Marcia Cross and Madonna all look great with their long wavy locks. Sadie Frost has also nailed it to a tee with her sexy shorter style. Sharon Stone looks great both with short hair and with long sleek extensions and proves that even a trademark look needs to evolve to keep things interesting.\'

Benna Selim, Colourist par excellence at John Frieda, London says: \'Use softer colours and tones so that you avoid hard highlighted lines, which look fake and dated.
Reassess your hair every six / eight months to evolve your colour. Follow the seasons - think lighter and warmer in the summer, deeper and richer in the winter. Have lighter colour around the face - this will create a softer look creating a halo effect to flatter and freshen the complexion.\'
Holding back the years
