The best haircuts for men over 40 years old

Individuality and self-expression is something that is inherent in every person. What emphasizes individual style better than a modern haircut? However, the person’s age and preferences should be taken into account in this matter. Barbers will tell you which hairstyles are suitable for the stronger sex over 40 and why Barbershop TsirulniK.

Haircut and age categories

Haircut should always correspond to age. For example, there is an opinion that men over 40 should forget about long hair and should focus on extremely short hairstyles. Is it true?

To answer this question, you should analyze the key factors that influence the choice of haircuts for a person. Among these factors, we highlight:

• Gray hair. In fact, men over the age of 30 suffer from this problem, even at the age of 25, gray hairs can be present on the head of a guy. Gray hair should not be an obstacle in choosing a modern hairstyle. If less than 50% gray hair can be dyed without penetrating their structure. As a result, you will get depigmented hair with an even shade of color.

If gray hair is more than 50% of the volume, you should register with a professional colorist or get the shortest haircut. An example of the usefulness of such a concept can be seen in Joaquin Phoenix’s hairstyle. The famous Hollywood actor has long gray hair that makes him look much older than his age.

• Hair loss. Baldness, which is faced by almost all men over the age of 40. Thick hair on the heads of Brad Pitt, Jared Leto or Robert Downey Jr. is rather an exception to the rule.

A number of factors contribute to hair loss: constant stress, malnutrition, problems with the endocrine system. At the first sign of baldness, a person should first check in with a professional barber, not a trichologist.

• Change in appearance. This is not a problem, but a physiological phenomenon inherent in every person, men are no exception. With age, the appearance of many men changes, so the question of changing their haircut becomes relevant for them. For example, when a person has bald spots on the forehead, having a straight haircut will only make it look worse.

In the presence of one of the problems listed above, do not despair. You just need to learn which hairstyle is suitable for a certain occasion and why. So, we offer a list of the best hairstyles for men aged 40 plus.
