As soon as the scorching summer arrives, the "hell steamer mode" is about to be turned on everywhere! For middle-aged women, they are about to face the challenge of how to maintain elegance and comfort. Things like sweating, makeup, and oily hair are all big obstacles for middle-aged women to show off their charms in the summer.
But the first thing that must bear the brunt is the treatment of the hairstyle. Is it better to wear your hair for beauty in the hot summer, or to tie your hair comfortably, or to go out without a hairstyle and a hat for convenience?
To sum up, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so how do we choose?
Listen to my advice, middle-aged women should wear more hair and less hats in summer.
This is not a rejection of hats, but is based on thoughtful consideration of the summer needs of middle-aged women. Hair tie not only helps to dissipate heat and keep it fresh, but it also shows off the elegance of a middle-aged woman.
In contrast, hats can hide ugliness, but wearing them for long periods of time can cause a stuffy and damp head, and may not be suitable for all occasions.
In this issue, we have listed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of wearing hair, hair and hats, I believe that through comparison, you can understand what I suggest that middle-aged and elderly women should wear more hair and less hats in summer. Let's take a look!!
1. Why is it not recommended that middle-aged women wear their hair in summer? 3 reasons, intuitive feeling
1. The disadvantages of wearing hair in summer
(1) Unsightly and sloppy ×
To be honest, I really admire women who still wear their hair in summer, after all, for people who love sweating physique, they can't wait to shave all the hair on their bodies in summer......
In the hot summer months, hair is more likely to be oily, greasy and frizzy, and loose hair (especially for people with frizzy and dry hair) is more likely to become messy after sweating, and sticking to the face not only makes people look lacking, but also gives people a feeling of untidy, sloppy and unkempt.
Just thinking about those greasy, wet hair sticking to your face, neck, and back makes you feel extremely uncomfortable.
For those middle-aged women who pursue an elegant temperament, such a hair condition not only gives people a feeling of unrefreshingness, but also tends to breed bacteria, resulting in skin allergies, redness, acne, and so on.
(2) Exacerbate the signs of facial aging
In addition, loose hair in summer may also highlight facial shortcomings such as sunken and sagging. Especially face shapes like "long face + facial cheekbones protruding", such as Meng Wanzhou.
An excessively long face shape can already give a visual sense of maturity, and loose hair may make the face appear longer, further exacerbating this sense of age, making people look older than they really are.
Not only that, but long hair can't help to modify the shape of the face, such as the face shape with prominent cheekbones, and the hair may make the cheekbones look more striking due to the contrast, which can affect the overall appearance.
Especially when the hair is not in good condition, such as greasy or frizzy, it is easier to divert people's attention to the face, which in turn emphasizes the aging of the face. And the natural fall of the hair often lacks a sense of hierarchy and styling, which will also make the overall look more old-fashioned to a certain extent.
(3) It is easy to expose age and hair volume problems
If you also have problems such as forehead hair loss and receding hairline, it is even more unsuitable to loosen your hair, which will expose these problems more obviously and affect your overall appearance.
In addition, as we age, most women will have thinning or thin hair when they reach middle age if they do not pay special attention to their scalp and hair. These changes are more easily noticeable when the hair is loosened, further highlighting the loss of take-off.
2. In contrast, there are many benefits to hair tie
(1) Tie hair ☞ to lift the face and modify the face shape
Through different hair tie methods, you can effectively adjust the proportions and contours of the face, making the face look more harmonious and beautiful.
For example, for Meng Wanzhou, who has a long face and a small amount of hair, the low ponytail can not only modify her face shape and lift the visual center of gravity upward, but also make her look younger and more vibrant.
(2) Tie hair ☞ to reduce the greasy feeling, cool and comfortable
In summer, hair tie can keep the hair out of the scalp and increase the contact area between the scalp and the air, which is not only good for heat dissipation and sweating, but also keeps the scalp dry and does not give bacteria a chance to grow.
At the same time, hair tie can also effectively prevent hair from sticking to the neck, reducing the feeling of stuffiness and oiliness, making people feel cooler and more comfortable.
(3) Tie hair ☞ to change different styles and enhance temperament
Compared with the casual and sloppy hair that is loose, the right hair tie can better highlight the individual's temperament and characteristics, such as temperament half hair, low ponytail hair, etc. This type of hairstyle can not only highlight the mature temperament of a middle-aged woman, but also show a better mental outlook, making people look more energetic and confident.
★★★ However, it is important to note that:
Although there are many benefits to tying your hair, it is also important to avoid some pitfalls, such as tying it too tightly or not leaving some broken hair, which may look tacky and easily expose the problem of a large face and a large head.
Second, although the hat can cover the ugliness, it is not suitable for long-term wear in summer
Hats, as a kind of fashion accessory, can indeed cover the imperfections of our face to a certain extent, adding a sense of fashion or personality to the overall look. However, it is not wise to wear a hat for a long time on a hot summer day.
1. High temperature is not conducive to heat dissipation and harmful to scalp health
In summer, when the temperature is high, wearing a hat is easy to make the hair fit tightly with the scalp, and it is not easy to dissipate heat, resulting in increased sweating on the scalp.
Prolonged sweating not only makes your hair greasy and damp, but it can also cause symptoms such as itchy and uncomfortable scalp.
2. It is not conducive to the beauty of the hairstyle, and the hair is even more embarrassing when you take off the hat
In addition, hats can change the shape and direction of the hair, and long-term wear may cause the hair to deform, flatten, and affect the aesthetics of the hairstyle.
Especially when we take off the hat, the hair that was originally flattened by the hat will make people look even more embarrassed when it is greasy and sweaty, giving people a sloppy and untidy feeling.
3. Aggravate seborrheic alopecia
On top of that, wearing a hat for long periods of time may also exacerbate hair loss problems. For example, people who have a strong oil secretion are often accompanied by seborrheic hair loss.
If you wear a hat for a long time in summer and put your scalp and hair in a hot and humid environment, not only will the pressure and friction of the hat damage the hair follicles and affect the normal growth of hair, but the environment inside the hat will also cause the hair follicles to clog, thereby increasing the risk of hair loss.
4. The sunscreen and sunscreen effect of the hat is not ideal
In addition, the sunscreen effect of hats is actually not as ideal as people think. Ordinary hats often do not provide full shade from the sun, especially when the sun shines from the side or at an oblique angle, and the hat is not effective at all.
In addition, the material and color of the hat will also affect its sun protection effect, such as some aesthetically pleasing, but light and light-colored hats are actually unable to block ultraviolet rays.
>> want to shade from the sun, in fact, the following methods are the best
<1> Wear sunscreen
When going out in summer, choose a sunscreen that suits your skin type and needs, and apply it to the exposed parts of your skin half an hour before going out, so as to effectively prevent UV rays from damaging your skin.
<2> Hold a sun umbrella
It's also a good idea to choose a sun umbrella that covers a large area and can cover most of the skin on your head and body. A parasol with good texture and shading effect can cover 80% of the area of the whole body to achieve effective shading.
<3> Wear sun-protective clothing + sunglasses
If you don't want to feel that it is inconvenient to carry a sun umbrella with you, you can also wear sunscreen clothing directly with ultraviolet protective sunglasses for better double protection.
It is best not to go outside during the most intense UV hours (usually 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If you must go outside, it's also a good idea to find shade and avoid direct sunlight.
3. Middle-aged women who want to show their charm in summer must pay attention to the following points
1. What should I do if my makeup is mottled?
In the summer, when the temperature is high, the sebaceous glands secrete more oil, making the skin greasy. This greasy state not only affects the durability of the makeup, but can also lead to the phenomenon of makeup peeling, which can easily give people a dirty feeling.
★★★
In order to reduce the appearance of makeup peeling and dirtiness in summer, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:
Light + oil control base makeup: Choose a base makeup product with good oil control effect, and use a light and thin method to avoid heavy accumulation;
Take care of sun protection and hydration: In hot weather, you can carry a moisturizing mist with you to hydrate your skin at all times, keeping your skin balanced with water and oil while keeping your makeup looking better.
Timely oil absorption + touch-up: When you find that your makeup is starting to be oily or flowery, you can gently press your face with blotting paper to absorb excess oil, and then gently touch up your makeup with powder to restore your makeup.
For eyes that are extremely prone to makeup, it is recommended to use waterproof eyeliner and eyeshadow to maintain the longevity of your makeup even when sweating.
2. Body odor management after sweating
The most embarrassing thing in summer is sweating on your chest, back and armpits, and if there is still a smell wafting away, it will make you feel uneasy and confused.
Therefore, it is also important to keep yourself clean in the summer, and it is best to take a bath every day, paying special attention to washing your armpits, which can help reduce odors. Or trim or shave the armpit hair directly to make the body more refreshed.
In terms of clothing, try to choose light and breathable clothes to reduce the growth and accumulation of sweat. In addition, antiperspirants or antibacterial sprays containing antimicrobial agents can be used in combination to spray an appropriate amount to the sweating area to reduce odors.
3. Moderate exercise + hydration
Dog days are actually a good time to lose weight, but you also need to arrange your exercise time and exercise intensity reasonably. It is recommended to exercise early in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the risk of exercise.
At the same time, according to your own situation, choose the intensity and method of exercise reasonably, and avoid excessive exercise that leads to heavy sweating and physical exhaustion.
Another point is that the body loses water quickly in summer, and middle-aged and elderly women should pay attention to replenishing water before and after exercise, maintain the body's water balance, prevent dehydration, and prevent wrinkles.
Epilogue:
To sum up, sweating a lot in summer does bring a lot of trouble to women's hair and image. However, through comparison, it is found that in summer, it is most suitable for middle-aged women to tie their hair more and wear less hats. After all, it not only keeps them comfortable and beautiful in the summer heat, but also makes them feel healthier and more confident!
