15 Makeup Tips All Older Women Should Know

9. Toothbrushes Are Not Just For Brushing Teeth

Braids are great hairstyle no matter how old you are. Not only are they practical and easy to put up, they also make you look stylish and young. But as you grow older, your hair thins out, and your braids keep getting wispier. This can look pretty pathetic.

To start off brushing your hair, braid your hair like you normally would. After securing your braid with pins or an elastic band, gently run a toothbrush along each side of each link “against the grain”. Then gently pull on each “link” of the braid to loosen it up. Combined with the toothbrush trick, this will make your hair look more voluminous and “lived in”. You’ll look more bohemian, and less like a strict schoolteacher. And of course, it will look like you have approximately 30% more hair than you really do!
