Hair styles come in and out of fashion and preferences tend to change as we get older.
As well as differing tastes, the quality of hair changes as we mature. Paired with the appearance of grey hair, a notable physical sign of aging, many women opt to change their look in order to keep a youthful appearance.
Hairstyling icon Sam McKnight - whose A-list clientele has included Kate Moss, Lady Gaga and Princess Diana - has shared the latest cuts hailed to offer anti-aging looks.
While there are many styles to choose from, experts are noticing emerging trends of particular styles which have become popular among older clientele, reports the Express.
Read on for the expert's top four picks.
Short with long layers
Short cuts can look particularly good on those who have decided to embrace their greying locks, but it is important to note that these hairs change texture.
In this case, the best way to go is a grey bob with longer pieces at the front and go shorter at the back. This way it will still shape the face, but Sam says it will have the structure of a short cut.
The longer locks can be blow-dried to give more volume and slicked back or, alternately, brushed loosely to the side for a relaxed vibe.
Sam told the Telegraph : "A great haircut needs to have multiple styles in one. That versatility is the secret to not getting stuck in a rut."
The choppy bob
A short bob featuring sharp edges is one of the more well-known classic styles, but not everyone can pull it off.
While Sam says your face shape isn't important for a bob, the issue of whether it will work depends on your hair type. He explained that thicker hair will make for an unflattering finish unless time is taken to fully blow-dry and straighten it.
If you have wavy hair, ask for a choppy bob that does not pass chin-length with more natural, softer layers to create for what Sam calls a youthfulness that carries a "slightly rebellious edge".
The feathered, long fringe
A long fringe can help 'lift' the face and smooth the complexion without going short. Women can ask their stylists for shorter, face framing pieces can add softness to any style.
Sam explained: "A longer fringe creates a framework around the face that works especially well when you put your hair up."
Known as a butterfly fringe, the softer cut is reminiscent of those more popular during the 1970s when compared to the modern harsh fringe - think of Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks.
Plus, the forehead shield can also disguise emerging wrinkles you may want to hide.
Long and layered
There's nothing worse than seeing long wispy hair in desperate need of a good chop. For those that prefer long hair, consider layers to add depth.
The key, Sam says, is to not be too precious about the layers because they can veer old fashioned if they fall too perfectly.
Instead, ask your stylists to razor-cut layers for a rebellious cut that can soften facial features.
