An outdated hairstyle is one of the first ways to age yourself without even trying. Some trendy hairstyles should have never left the decade they were created in and luckily for us, celebs have showcased that a select few hair trends will stand the test of time. Follow along for 8 hairstyles that are timeless and will keep you looking young no matter your age:
8. Soft Layers
Blended layers with a soft curl to the ends is a hairstyle that will always look natural and contemporary. Jennifer Aniston has had the same hairstyle for years and still looks more youthful than ever. They key to this look is to ensure the layers are blended and flowing rather than harsh and sharp.
7. Choppy Pixie
A choppy pixie is definitely a bold move when it comes to hair, but with the recent surge of celebs opting for a shorter ‘do this year it’s clear that the style isn’t going away anytime soon. If you’re up for a hair change and want to go bold without aging yourself, try a classic pixie like Scarlett Johansson!

6. Long Bob
Jessica Alba has rotated through quite a few hairstyles, but this long bob is definitely one of our favourites! Hair that hits right at the chin highlights your face in all the right places by bringing light to your jawline and cheekbones. Alba’s soft side-swept part and lightened ends keep her looking light and whimsical.

Jojo Fletcher has definitely mastered the art of perfectly imperfect beach waves! Her typical hair style features textured, loose beach waves that we can’t help but covet and want for ourselves. The star parts her hair in the center and channels her inner boho side by allowing her hair to fall in flowing waves around her shoulders. This natural look is not only gorgeous, but one that has proved to stay trendy for years!

4. Sleek Center Part
Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t aged a day and her sleek hairstyle definitely plays a large factor to that! Paltrow has always opted for a sophisticated center part and left her golden locks to fall straight and sleek over her shoulders. The style is simple enough to always remain contemporary and her tendency to always go back to this style over the years proves truly how timeless it is.

3. Bouncy Curls
Kate Middleton’s style is the envy of women everywhere and her voluminous hair is a huge part of her appeal! The Duchess is a pro at styling her hair in perfectly bouncy curls that bring life to her face and consistently looks like she just stepped out of a salon. She keeps her hair shiny and allows her ringlets to hold their shape rather than combing them out to achieve a wavy look. Her look is classic and elegant and will undeniably stand the test of time.

2. Smooth Side Part
Almost everyone has a natural hairline that falls slightly to one side, which makes the side part a universally flattering hairstyle for every face shape! Sweeping your hair to the side adds a softness to the face that you can’t go wrong with. When you’re unsure of exactly what style suits you and would be the most flattering, always opt for the side part like Reese Witherspoon!

1. Natural Toussle
Blake Lively is the queen of embracing her natural texture and we can’t help but admire her naturally youthful appearance because of it! Blake has admited she is quite low maintenance when it comes to her hair and shared that her natural waves are the result spraying a sea salt spray in her damp tresses and allowing her hair to dry in a high bun. We love that Blake allows her hair to fall in a natural toussle rather than damaging her hair with hot tools. These buoyant, textured waves definitely keep her looking youthful and light.
