“Kris Jenner has debuted a chicer look after ditching her cropped pixie cut for longer lengths. In a recent Instagram post, the 69-year old ‘momager’ switched her iconic cropped cut for a chin-length bob and bangs.
“And fans are loving Kris’ new look, with one commenting: “Obsessed with hairstyle on her! She looks 20 years younger”. Other fans were quick to draw parallels to her 29-year-old daughter, Kendall Jenner.
“So, what is it about the cut that gives a more youthful appearance?
“Bobs are all the rage this year, and their popularity amongst younger women makes this style great for women looking to inject some youthfulness into their everyday look.
“Asymmetrical and effortless tousled bobs are just two cuts that emit a youthful glow as they correct the shape of the face and smooth out any harsh angles or lines that can make you look older.
“When styled right, bobs can be wonderfully low maintenance, especially for wavy hair types, and add plenty of volume and movement.
“Get your stylist to add some strategic highlights at to frame the face and around the crown of the head. This will create a lifting effect, brightening the complexion and creating a more youthful look.
“You may also want to add some fill-in hair extensions which can make fine or thinning hair appear fuller, adding to the youthful illusion. Your hair stylist can tailor style these to your cut.
“And while not for everyone, adding bangs to this style can also be a great way to hide any physical signs of ageing and can divert attention from any thinning areas of hair.
“However, don’t fall into the trap of getting layers too short, especially if you have short hair, as these can look quite dated, making you appear older.”
