Sometimes a girl just needs a change, and often that means a new haircut. Hairstyle trends like clothes change rapidly. This means that you may find yourself with a hairdo that looked good for one season, but is no longer is on-trend.

Perms

For those that wanted a tighter curl back in the '70s, '80s, and even '90s, it seemed like one of the go-to options when it came to hair was the perm. There were different types of perms. You could get a tight perm or a looser-looking one.

However, if you're looking to make yourself look a little younger, the perm is no longer the way to achieve this. Not only is it an outdated hairstyle, but it also can cause damage to your hair that you may not be able to repair.

Crimping

If you grew up in the '80s, then you crimped your hair at least once. This was one of those hairstyles that made every girl feel like they were edgy and with the times Plus, it gave a lot of texture to their hair. But, we're not in that decade anymore and now the look is no longer promoted.

The only time you should crimp your hair nowadays is if you're going to an '80s party. Otherwise, you're going to look older and there's a good chance you'll damage your hair in the process.

Bouffant

The bouffant was a big deal back in the day when Hollywood starlets donned it for all the major events. It is a hairdo that takes a long time to achieve, and so those looking to sport it nowadays have opted for a less-teased poof.

The bouffant does look good, but the teasing and hairspray used will affect your hair for days after. This hairstyle may also age you because it is an outdated trend.

Eye Length Banged Bobs

Some ladies prefer a look that is easy to maintain and style in the mornings. That is why a lot of them go for a bob with eye-length bangs. This hairstyle takes minimal effort to look good, but unfortunately for older ladies, it is not as flattering a cut as for the younger.

Because the bangs are so short and cropped on the face, they may draw attention to your eyes. We all know that as you get older, lines and wrinkles start to form around this area, and having attention there will in turn age you a bit.
