10 Celebrity Hairstyles That Will Make You Look Younger
Published on June 12, 2017. Updated April 12, 2019A factor that the Hollywood stars have always been admired for is how they seem to stay looking eternally young. Of course, much of this is due to the cosmetic surgery procedures that seem to have become a mainstream practice in Hollywood now, but one thing we’ve noted is that hair styles can cause a dramatic difference in how old a star looks. It’s easy to get in a rut when we become accustomed to styling our hair a certain way, but as the stars tend to do, there’s no harm in trying something new every once in a while! Faded, boring hair styles is the first way to age yourself without even realizing. Read below for all our favourite celeb hairstyles that are simple to re-create and take up to 10 years off your age:
10. Julia Roberts- Soft Updo
A soft chignon updo is such a classic style for women of any age; however, Julia Roberts made this style look super youthful by allowing shorter layers to hang loose and flatter the shape of her face. This Pretty Woman star looks as great as during her first film debut with a sparkling smile to match!

9. Anne Hathaway- Choppy Bob
Anne Hathaway’s choppy bob is easy to achieve and is super trendy and contemporary looking. The length of the bob hits right at her chin which extenuates her jawline and cheekbones. The side swept part softens the look and adds a romantic vibe to the choppy style.

8. Halle Berry- High Ponytail
Although a high ponytail may seem like a risky hair move in your later years, Halle Berry looks absolutely stunning in this style and we would never guess she was 50 years old. Berry re-created the look and catered it for her age by allowing strands of hair to frame her face rather than trying to mimic a slicked back ponytail from childhood. The strand of hair wrapped around the elastic band adds a nice detail of sophistication as well!

7. Cameron Diaz- Soft Bangs
An effortless and small step that can be taken towards looking younger is adding a flattering bang! It’s totally understandable if completely changing your hair seems intimidating, instead, try adding a soft bang to frame your face and take years off. We love this soft, cascading bang look on Cameron Diaz’s blonde tresses.

6. Demi Moore- Half Up Style
Demi Moore looks like she hasn’t aged a bit in this classic half-up hair style. This style is timeless whether you’re 20 or 60, but Moore keeps it looking fresh by incorporating soft waves and staying on trend by parting her hair in the middle. Adding a pair of elegant drop-style earrings could definitely add some glamour for a fresh take on this look as well.
