There's no age limit on a haircut. But a low maintenance, shorter hairstyle is a common choice for women over 40. This is likely because short hair often translates to less time spent shampooing, conditioning, drying, and styling. To prove how beautiful short hair can be, we consulted stylist Melanie Bolton.and stylist to the stars Adir Abergel to round up the best celeb-inspired short haircuts replete with expert-approved styling tips.

This look requires a foundation of hydration to keep frizz at bay. This means using rich, moisturizing care products and treatments on a regular basis (like Flow 30 Second Treatment, $25), adds Bolton. To style and add curl control, apply a cream-based texture cream, such as Flow Design Cream ($22) onto damp curls and air or diffuser drying. To finish, apply a shine serum or oil on dry curls.

If you are highly considering this cut, Bolton recommends visiting a curl specialist to ensure your fringe is carefully crafted. She warns that the wrong length for a curly fringe can take a while to recover from.

To do so, First, blow-dry hair smooth by using a large round or paddle brush, drying by section. Next, add a medium-hold dry texture spray, like Flow Root Reboot Texture & Root Refresher ($22), at the root, and tousle the hair with fingers to create piecey definition. Finally, finish the hair with a medium-hold hairspray, such as Flow Impeccablefinish™ FlexWorking Hairspray ($22) all over, to ensure long-lasting wear, she instructs.

To get her look, ask your stylist for slightly flared out ends for a fun and flirty vibe while perfectly placed long layers and purposeful texture softly highlight the shape of the face, notes Bolton. For added gloss, finish styling with a shine serum.

Long, wispy bangs can work to soften a pixie cut, as seen here on Kerry Washington look amazingly chic. Bangs are definitely on trend, and they’re also a great way to hide any undesirable forehead wrinkles, says Abergel.

Bangs can get oily throughout the day from sitting right on the skin, so carry a travel-sized dry shampoo in your purse to refresh as necessary.

To us, itseems like she works with her hair's natural bend and wave to achieve a beachy, lived-in look. It's the epitome of an I woke up like this hairstyle, and even those with the most stubborn straight strands can achieve it.

Finally, use a flat iron to twist out any sections where you would like a little more wave, and tousle, says Bolton. Her must-have products include Flow Boundless Body Plumping Lotion ($22) and Flow Touchable Texture Design Cream ($22).
