Renowned hairstylist Brad Mondo has revealed a common hairstyle mistake that could be prematurely aging many women. He recommends avoiding tight, refined waves and suggests opting for a more relaxed look instead.
While acknowledging that everyone should feel free to style their hair as they wish, Mondo offers tips for those looking to achieve a more youthful appearance. He points out that waves can enhance a youthful look, but stresses that the style of the wave is crucial.
“The wave is the go-to look if you want to look young. It’s trendy, always cute, but the tighter and more refined the wave, the older you’re going to look,” Mondo explains. He advises that looser, less defined waves are more effective in maintaining a youthful appearance.
To create these relaxed waves, Mondo suggests using a curling iron with a large barrel for longer hair and keeping the temperature low to avoid creating uniform, tight waves.
For women with straight hair who wish to curl their locks, Mondo emphasizes the importance of breaking up the curls with a brush or fingers, using minimal hairspray, and “raking out those curls.” He notes that tight curls can make you look older because they are reminiscent of outdated styles.
In summary, Mondo’s advice for achieving a youthful look is clear: avoid tight waves and curls, and aim for a more relaxed, natural style.
