Haircut Inspirations That Can Make You Look 10 Years Younger

Cutting layers that "point" toward the area by ending at the same level. If you have a great smile, for example, ask for chin-length pieces in front that will hit at lip level.

Create volume at the crown by asking for layers on top. Then, when styling, take a few strokes with a teasing comb (easy — we're not talking Marge Simpson) five inches from the hairline.

• Pomade.
It adds control and tames the frizzies. If your hair is long, use on the roots only.

• Wax.
It gives intense control, which is especially important for short to medium-length styles.

• Shine enhancers.
They often contain silicone, which helps all hair types look smoother and shinier.

• Flexible hair sprays.
They set your style while allowing you to brush and restyle throughout the day.

Try eyebrow-skimming bangs. They'll cover lines and play up your eyes.

You want at least nape-length layers that are shorter in back. Adding some swing this way helps minimize flaws in general, and longer pieces in front will give the illusion of angles where they're needed.

Add a few wispy, longer strands in the back, even if the cut is short.
