A quick and easy hairstyle change can make a world of difference when it comes to looking younger.
Schellea Fowler, founder and CEO of fabulous50s, took to YouTube to share her hair tricks to "make you look younger", revealing the popular style that "does absolutely nothing for her", plus the simple hair hack that improves her look drastically.
The content creator revealed that she likes to ditch the standard low ponytail for a more voluminous look where her hair frames her face.
To know which hairstyles will flatter you and help you look younger, it's important to learn about your face shape.

Schellea said that she has a slightly asymmetrical face, with her jaw on the left side of her face slightly lower down than on the right side.
She also described her face as "heart-shaped", meaning it is wider at the top and thinner at the bottom.
To compensate for this, Schellea has layers to frame her face and curls these inwards to "follow along the heart shape of her chin".
The "thickness" and "bulk" of her long curls also create volume around the bottom of her face.
When Schellea wears a side ponytail, she shared that she always wears it on the side of her face where her jaw sits lower, which gives her "bulk" around the area.
She added that this looks "a lot better" on her than pulling her hair back into a low ponytail.
Schellea said: "This does absolutely nothing for me because there's nothing going on [around the jaw] where I need filling out.
"But when I release it, put the hair back and create volume [around my face] my face looks so much better, softer and more in harmony.
"That's what we can do as we get older to create a more youthful look and be able to maintain that look as well.
"Once you know the part in your face that needs emphasising through hair, you can just go to the hairdresser and ask them to cut it in for you - and I think you'll be really happy."
