Long hairstyles for women over 50

Gone are the days when women over a certain age needed to go short. Having longer hair that is well colored can keep your youthful appearance for many years.

Medium Layered Haircut

This stunning cut with discreet layers and subtle honey highlights looks incredible on fair complexions. To achieve the seamless style, your longest locks must graze the shoulders, while the top layers are cut gradually shorter. Besides the fact that it looks great, the hairdo is also quite easy to maintain.

Medium Layered Hairstyle with Bangs

Women Over 50 can pick any hairstyle that flatters their face, hair type, and personality. As a rule, moderately voluminous short and medium hairstyles on women in their 50’s look better than sleek ones. This layered style with soft highlights is a beautiful example of framing a beautiful face!

Short hairstyles for women over 50

You might think a short hairstyle adds to your aging, but in fact, some short hairstyles can have the opposite effect for women over 50.

Short Layered Bob 

If you go for a layered bob, make sure it is styled to show off your dynamic cut. The way these shorter layers have been brushed back and set creates a cool version of feathered hair.

Feathered Bob with Height on the Crown

Feathered layers are fun and flirty, especially when teased in the back to give the crown a lift. Ask your stylist for chin-length bangs that layer and get shorter and shorter towards the back. Blow-dry with a round brush to style, tease the back, and you’re good to go.

Pixie haircuts for women over 50

A good pixie cut is a classic choice for middle-aged women searching for a change. It requires the least maintenance and is the ultimate “wake up and go” style!

Neat Feathered Pixie

This hairstyle offers the ease of the shorter hairstyle, but the sophistication of the feathered crown. Go for slightly longer strands on top and around the face, but keep hair super cropped towards the nape of the neck for a neat and clean shape.

Short Piece-y Crop

A sleek crop is elegant, but piece-y ones can be just as chic. Use a bit of styling gel or mousse to enhance texture and define the ends of your layers. This will help you create a totally cool, edgy look.

Pixie with Long Razored Layers

A fun way to customize a pixie cut is to make the front layers and bangs become one. Many haircuts for women separate bangs from the rest of the style, but when the entire look is razored pieces, some forward-facing strands can create bangs all on their own.

Being a woman over 50 is a woman living her best life. Let us know which of these hairstyles you would like to consider?
