Putting your hair up is the ideal choice to create a neat and fresh look for your face. Regularly tying your hair up instead of just letting it down can also make you look more beautiful. There are many hairstyles that are not only elegant and sophisticated but also youthful. To find out which hairstyles are classy and smooth for women in their 40s, ladies can refer to these 4 suggestions from Song Hye Kyo.
Ponytail
This hairstyle is as neat and cool as a bun, but softer and sweeter. There are also many variations to the ponytail. For a more elegant and refined look, ladies should opt for a low ponytail that is smoothly styled. A high ponytail is a more dynamic and youthful choice. A loosely tied low ponytail is perfect for weekend strolls, outings, or summer vacations.

Half-up hairstyle
Song Hye Kyo often sports the half-up hairstyle, which exudes elegance and charm. This hairstyle is suitable for both the office and parties. To make this hairstyle more approachable, Song Hye Kyo parts her hair to the side or leaves a few strands of hair loose. These tricks create the effect of a smaller and more balanced face while adding a modern and youthful touch to her overall appearance.

Low bun
The low bun is beloved by women of all ages for its freshness and elegance, without adding years to one’s appearance. Song Hye Kyo does not overly style her low bun. Instead, she creates a puffy effect at the crown and leaves a few thin strands of hair loose. This hairstyle is ideal for both casual and office outfits.
