80 Best Modern Hairstyles and Haircuts for Women Over 50

When we step over a certain age, we start to wonder how to remain youthful without sacrificing the gracious and respectable look. The ability to age with style has always been gaining admiration, and choosing the right hairstyle is key to creating such an image. Older celebrities, such as Jennifer Lopez, Lisa Rinna, Madonna, Kim Basinger, and many others show how stunning you may look when you are over 50. Review and pick the best hairstyles to show off your mature beauty.

Tendencies in Hairstyles for Women Over 50

Many women refer to the age of 50 as their second youth and the time when they can finally enjoy life to its fullest. In fact, you don’t necessarily need to change your favorite style and choose something drastically new to look and feel young after reaching the age of 50: a pixie cut, a versatile bob, or a graded haircut are all quite timeless.

As you grow older, it makes sense to choose edgier haircuts that will balance the increasing softness of your features. This is especially important when you decide to grow out gray hair.

If you are used to wearing bangs, there’s no sense to give up on this idea, as bangs generally make women look younger. Opt for wispy bangs reaching your eyebrows or soft side waves like Kathy Hilton’s bangs, for instance.

If your hair is fine, it’s better to try a short-to-medium version of a bob haircut, a cheeky pixie, or another short hairstyle that adds volume and texture to your mane. Thick hair looks awesome in layered medium and long styles; however, you can try anything from an extra short pixie to long bobs.

Women over 50 also start dyeing their hair more often to cover gray hairs. Lighter tones are easier to maintain; that’s why many older women opt for blondish or caramel hues. A popular option among women over 50 is also blending gray hair with highlights and lowlights. On the other hand, darker intelligent shades, such as burgundy, auburn, and dark chocolate can look stunning on older women.
