A new study reported by news outlets says a common hair-related habit can make people appear older, even though it is not a skin treatment. The coverage highlights that how hair is styled may affect the way skin features—such as wrinkles—are perceived.
The articles do not present detailed results in the excerpts provided, but they frame the finding as “science” suggesting attention should be paid to hair to influence overall appearance. Both sources describe the advice as focusing on hair if someone wants their skin to look less wrinkled. They differ mainly in phrasing and presentation rather than the core claim about the relationship between hair styling and perceived age.
Overall, the reports emphasize perception-based outcomes rather than stating that hair styling physically changes skin. They point readers toward the idea that grooming choices can influence how facial features are visually interpreted.
