Did you know that something as simple as your haircut can be aging you? Severe lines, angles and lengths can make you look older (which is never a good thing.)

According to New York hairstylist Patrick Melville of the Rick Wellman Salon, one easy way to get a more youthful look is to opt for a flattering haircut.

He suggested trying a soft layered bob for a younger look. Rick said this haircut that hits at the jawline will hide many flaws.

A bonus of the soft layered bob is that it also works to slim your face.

If you want to add more coverage to your look, add some bangs. Rick said the soft layered bob works with "a soft wispy or blunt fringe."
