Looking younger is not just skin deep, and hair can be a big factor when it comes to taking years off the face – or adding them on. Simon Tuckwell, director of hair salon Tuckwell & Co and creative director of sustainable haircare brand Oway UK, spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk about how mature ladies can look younger in no time.
Simon stated: “As we get older, we may have tried dozens of different haircuts, colours, styles or stuck with the same thing we’ve had since we were kids.”
However, while a good cut, colour and style are all imperative for luscious locks, none of these are the most important component when it comes to looking younger.
The expert explained: “Looking after your hair is the most important part of feeling younger and you’ll not only look and feel great in yourself but having that head turning hair is such a confidence boost too.
“Great condition hair is the ultimate anti-ager. Whether you have colour or have decided to keep to natural, healthy, shiny, well looked-after hair is the key to looking and feeling younger.”

The American Academy of Dermatology Association outlined some simple ways people can maintain healthy hair.
Advice included washing oily hair more frequently, using conditioner after every shampoo – concentrating on the tips -, choosing a shampoo and conditioner for your specific hair type and protecting hair while swimming.
Of course, in addition to maintaining a healthy condition, there are also some cut, colour and style tips mature women can use to take years off the face.
During your next trip to the salon, Simon suggested asking for a “haircut that adds movement and frames your features perfectly”.

Colour also has the power to make a woman look years younger – or older. The right tone will complement the face, while the wrong one might emphasise its paleness and translucency as we age.
But regardless of the colour, taking care of your hair is key: “You may have had highlights for years, super super blonde and really packed in. And that’s absolutely fine, as long as it is in great condition.
“If you don’t look after it, that’s when the same look can start to look ageing.” As for style, something with volume is preferable, “full of bounce and feeling like you’ve just stepped out of the salon”.
