Have you reached 50 and are you looking for a change? Before you spontaneously get a pixie cut, you should analyze which hairstyle best suits your type. The right haircut depends not only on the shape of your face, but also on the hair structure and the fullness of the hair. Since hair structure changes with age, you should adapt your new hairstyle accordingly. We have put together some prominent examples that could help you with this task. There are a variety of hairstyles for women over 50 that look very chic and also make you look younger.
Long hair, why not?
Although it is common for women to wear their hair shorter after a certain age, a short haircut is not a must. Women over 50 or older still look amazing with long hair as long as the hair is healthy and well cared for. TheHair length is a question of typeand not of age.
A long haircut is perfect for thick hair. Over the years, however, the body's own keratin production decreases and the hair becomes finer and thinner. For this reason, you should strengthen your hair with products containing keratin.
Women over 50 also like to wear itsmooth, long hair in a sleek look. This cut is often very straight - i.e. cut without steps. However, it is advisable to create gentle layers around the face. With layered haircuts, the rule is that the shorter the hair, the smaller the difference between the layers should be. For long hair, the layer can end at the level of the collarbone. To give the hair visual depth and make the look appear a little softer, warm colors or blonde highlights are used. With the help of a large round brush you can create loose waves at the ends of your hair while blow-drying.
Even though stars like Sandra Bullock and Sarah Jessica Parker swear by the middle parting, it is not recommended for women over 50. A center part frames the forehead and draws unwanted attention to the forehead wrinkles. If, on the other hand, you have a round or heart-shaped face, the straight hairstyle with a middle parting can look particularly elegant and classic.
To spice up a long haircut, you can have bangs cut. It provides some variety and you don't have to cut your hair radically. Plus, bangs will cover your forehead wrinkles andMake your eyes look more alive. Softly falling, fringed bangs that reach your eyebrows are ideal for women over 50.
Shoulder-length hair is still one of the trend hairstyles for 2017. A medium length is very versatile and allows a variety of different styling options. Whether with or without bangs, the medium-length hair suits all face shapes and every hair structure.
With age, hair loses its shape and volume. To make your hair look more lively, we recommend a layered cut. The shortest steps should end in the area of the cheekbones or approximately up to the jawline. Women with a heart-shaped face in particular wear their hair shoulder-length with slanted bangs.
Bob haircuts for mature ladies
The bob has been an absolute hairdresser's favorite since the 1920s and is still very popular today. The classic bob is cut straight and ends around the chin. In a longer version it brushes the shoulders. The asymmetrical bob, on the other hand, has different lengths at the front and looks particularly good on oval, round and heart-shaped faces.
Der Long Bob, also called Clavi Cut, is significantly longer than ear and chin length. It goes up to the shoulders and flatters the face. Whether with a deep parting, straightened or with a lot of volume at the roots - the lob always looks great. The more angular the face, the softer the contours of the hairstyle should be.
While the classic bob looks particularly noble and elegant with straight hair, a curly bob looks particularly feminine and girly. Famous women like to style their bob with uneven curls and side parting. Curls give the hair new momentum and make the hairstyle look particularly casual. Style your hair with a large curling iron or round brush.
If you have a round face shape, the shoulder-length bob hairstyle with side bangs is ideal. Straight bangs are an absolute no-go for round faces. Be aware that a short, chin-length bob could unflatteringly accentuate a round face shape. The long bob, on the other hand, is perfect because it makes the face appear narrower and visually slimmer. A chin-length bob is particularly flattering on a square face.
For round faces, the crown also plays an important role. The more sideways the parting is pulled, the wider the face appears. A bangs hairstyle looks particularly advantageous if the bangs are worn slightly to the side, for example on the tip of the eyebrow.
Short hairstyles for women over 50
Short haircuts are very popular among women over 50. No wonder, because short hair is a real anti-aging agent and always ensures a youthful appearance. The pixie cut is one of the absolute favorites. It makes the face appear finer and is also perfect for thin hair that is difficult to wear long.
No other haircut is as versatile as the pixie cut. Often he willcombined with diagonally cut bangs. When it comes to hair styling, the pixie also offers a lot of scope. It can be combed back, curled or elegantly styled to the side.
Haircuts for women with glasses
Most hairstyles can usually be worn with glasses. The shape of the face and the model of glasses are decisive here and not the length of the hair. Glasses wearers can't go wrong with a lob and slanted bangs. It is best to keep your hair away from your face.
Hair color and skin tone
In addition to the right haircut, the right hair color can also enhance your appearance. You can fake more volume with different strands of hair in lighter and darker shades. It depends on the skin tone. If you have very light skin, hair color that is too dark will quickly age you visually.
Reveal gray hair
Gray tones in all shades are on trend! A medium length haircut looks very good even with gray hair. However, hardly any woman turns gray evenly. To ensure the result looks beautifully natural, fine highlights in ash or slate tones are added. Try the cool trend yourself!
