Get edgy with a blunt bob

Boston-based master hairstylist Katelyn Alberts, 38, who created the salon and stylist discovery app VERVERY, told FEMAIL the textured bob was the way to go. 

What hairstyles should you avoid? 

Frédéric Fekkai advised avoiding 'extreme and overly structured hairstyles'The hair expert said super structured 'dos 'can sometimes contribute to an aged appearance''It's essential to find a balance between a stylish look and one that complements individual features,' Frédéric explainedCelebrity hairstylist Davontae Washington warned women to avoid an asymmetrical bobDavontae explained an asymmetrical bob can look outdated and unflattering

The bob is having a major moment right now, with Cate Blanchett, 54, and Kourtney Kardashian, 44, embracing the classic style, but it helps that the hairstyle is still timeless. Plus, if you have thin hair, this will make your looks look far more lustrous.

Katelyn said, 'A blunt bob helps thin, fragile hair look fuller and stronger creating a more healthy, youthful appearance.' 

She suggested adding 'light texture to the ends for a slight lived-in effect, which adds natural movement and softness to the finished look.' 

Frédéric Fekkai, who founded his iconic eponymous brand, agreed that a textured bob 'can contribute to a more youthful appearance,' because it 'adds a modern touch.' 

Garren, who's a celebrity stylist in New York City and the co-founder of R+Co haircare products, is also a champion of what he called 'bobs with edge, with some hair falling over one eye.' 

Celebrity stylist Chaz Dean agreed that 'short hair has always been associated with a young, youthful appearance,' and suggested 'a chin-length bob,' calling it 'a great way to turn the clock back visually.' 

'Go for a blunt chop or add some airy textured, long layers for a little more fun,' Chaz advised. 

Embrace your natural curls

According to Katelyn, embracing your natural curls makes all the difference. 

Halle Berry, 57, Taraji P. Henson, 53, Ginnifer Goodwin, 45, and Nicole Richie, 42, have all rocked the youthful style. 

'Avoiding heat styling and embracing your natural curl helps make your hair look shiny and healthy,' Katelyn told FEMAIL.

'Shorter hair elongates your features and draws others' attention up towards your eyes,' the hair specialist continued.

She suggested having 'a few curls coming down softly on your forehead to enhance the youthful appearance.' 

Katelyn said, 'Ask your stylist to taper your style at the neck to add a fun edge to your style.'

Slick back your hair into an elegant updo

'Nothing is more beautiful and ageless than pulled back hair that is swept away from the face, whether center parted or slicked back,' Garren, who has worked with Madonna, 65, and Linda Evangelista, 58, said. 

'Pulling the hair back always works, it's a great go-to especially for more unmanageable hair, it's always flattering and very powerful,' Garren continued, 'Because you don't want the hair to be too fluffy, it will age you.' 

Frédéric, who has styled Martha Stewart, 82, Hilary Clinton, 76, Debra Messing, 55, Claudia Schiffer, 53, and more, agreed: 'Sleek updos are timeless and classic.'

Channel your inner French girl with a fanciful fringe

Frédéric is a fan of what he called the 'French chic look,' with a 'soft and swept fringe.'

'French curtain bangs add romance and playfulness, contributing to a fresh appearance,' the celebrity hairstylist said. 

Jane Birkin is the ultimate example, with her full bangs and collarbone length locks. 

Garren is another supporter of the French girl fringe and said, 'Think edgy with bangs falling over eyes, yet still refined,' naming French fashion editor Carine Roitfeld, 69, as an example since 'her look screams class and French style.'

Garren explained it was not just about the cut, but 'also about the texture of the hair and quality of the color.'

'You can still be cool over 50, if you own your look. Letting your silver or white hair be the hair color it naturally is with these cuts and styles can really command the room and be beautiful,' Garren said, calling it 'a stand-out look.'

Chaz also loves a bang, telling FEMAIL, 'Adding a bang, side-swept or blunt, instantly upgrades any haircut into a more playful, younger style.

'Something about a bang just makes everyone think of a childhood haircut, but as an adult they can be sexy and flattering on just about everyone.'

Don't be afraid to go long

Celebrity hairstylist Davontae Washington, who works with works with Kim Kardashian, Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B in Los Angeles, explained that women shouldn't be afraid of keeping their hair long, as long as it's healthy. 

'Societal norms have told us that longer styles can age you, but that is not the case at all,' Davontae, who specializes in natural hair, wigs, and extensions, said.

'To embrace an anti-aging haircut, the overall factor to look out for is hair health,' Davontae continued. 

According to Davontae, 'Many times we will keep longer styles, but the ends may appear stringy or you will see a lot of split ends popping out.'

And just because your hair is longer doesn't mean you can skip visits to your stylist.

He explained, 'Healthy, shiny hair truly makes a big difference. 

'When you trim away the dead ends, you will also feel like your hair is thicker, which is a great way to keep your hair looking younger overall.'

Just look at Cher, 77, or Sarah Jessica Parker, 58, for proof you don't have to chop your locks as you age, as long as you keep your hair healthy.
