So, it just goes to show that when it comes to beauty, there are no hard rules.
Best Hairstyles For Women Over 50
The best hairstyles for women over 50 are those that are both stylish and easy to maintain. These styles look effortlessly polished with a simple shampoo and minimal styling, freeing up more time in their day. If you’re looking for some hair inspiration, take some from our gorgeous ladies below.
1. Pixie Cut with Curls or Waves
If you really like super short and looking for a low maintenance style with an edge, the pixie cut is a great option. In fact, it’s a perfect hairstyle for anyone, regardless of age. But the best part is that it’s super easy to style and can be customized to suit your personal taste. For this reason, whether your hair is coily, naturally wavy or curly, you can pull off this style. And if you’re always busy on-the-go, this no-fuss style is the way to go. Plus, as mentioned, you can experiment with different looks.
2. Voluminous and Long
If you don’t want to cut your hair, go with the best long hairstyles for women over 50. After all, not all women over 50 struggle with slow hair growth and breakage. So, if you got it, flaunt it! With soft waves, face-framing layers, and a deep side part, long hair is very glamorous on women over 50. And if you want more volume rather than just straight, use a large round brush and lift hair up and out when blow drying. Add a little volumizing spray at the roots, but make sure it’s not alcohol base to avoid drying out your hair.
3. Beachy Bob
A beachy bob adds shape and volume to your hair with minimal effort. This look uses lots of short layers to add natural volume, which can be perfect if your hair tends to get weighed down. Or if you need a hairstyle for thinning hair on the crown. This is a feminine haircut as well as a sporty vibe. And it has a charming girlish feel with a sense of fullness and volume. Also, the dark roots add depth and volume to the different shades of blonde. Short and sassy, this layered, bob delivers lots of texture and a classy shape.
4. Shoulder-Length Shag
The shag is an on-trend haircut that can be very flattering for women over 50. It blends a long, wispy fringe into choppy layers that frame your face. Short layers can create volume if you’re struggling with flat, thin hair. Are you feeling sultry and mysterious, or shy and unassuming? Whatever mood you’re in, one thing’s for sure: you’ll be feeling ultra-feminine with a shoulder-length shag.
