What hair color should you choose after 60 for a youthful look? A hairdresser shares his advice

The golden rule: lighten to illuminate

Thomas Tuccinardi, international color expert for L’Oréal Paris, shares a simple tip: “The lighter you go, the brighter it becomes.”

In other words, the most rejuvenating color is always a little lighter than your natural color.

But be careful: going lighter doesn’t necessarily mean going platinum blonde overnight. It’s not about choosing a universal color, but about finding the luminous shade that perfectly matches your skin tone.

Find the ideal color for your skin

Every skin tone has its ideal color palette. Here’s how to choose:

• Light skin : beige blondes, golden blondes or light browns will bring radiance and softness.
• Dark skin : opt for caramel, honey or warm brown shades that illuminate without dulling.
• Neutral skin tones : you’re spoiled for choice between soft blondes, subtle coppers or golden browns.

It’s a bit like choosing a piece of jewelry: some skin tones are enhanced by gold, others by silver.

Conclusion: Light up your beauty, not just your hair

After 60, the real magic of rejuvenating hair color is to gently illuminate your face, while respecting what makes your unique charm.

No need to transform everything: just add a touch of light, choose the perfect shade, and let your natural beauty shine!

And remember: the most beautiful “youthful boost” effects always come from within.
