It's true: women's hair changes as it gets older. But that doesn't mean you have to accept your natural hair as it is or settle for styles that don't fit your personality. It's possible to find a cut and color combination that works well with your lifestyle and personality at any age--even if you're over 50! Just keep these tips in mind when choosing how to style your strands:
Short hair
Your hair doesn't have to be long and flowing to be elegant, fun, or youthful! Short hair can be all of those things—and more. There are so many different styles out there that you will find something that fits your personality and makes you look great. Let's take a look at some of the reasons why short hair is great for women over 50:
It's easy to maintain.
You can change it up with ease.
It's fun!
You can experiment with colors, curls, straightening irons—the possibilities are endless!
Long hair
Long hair is a classic look for women over 50. If you’re growing your hair out and don’t want to cut it, or if you have gone through menopause and are now experiencing various hormonal changes in your body, long hair can be styled in many different ways. Women with long hair often opt for highlights and lowlights to add depth and dimension to their style.
Long hair is best for those who want to keep their hair long, but still want the option of changing up their look by adding extra elements like braids or upstyles.
Curly hair
Curly hair is a challenge to style. Its volume and texture make it difficult to tame, color and cut. Plus, curly hair can be extremely fragile and prone to breakage if you're not careful when you're styling or treating it.
Some women with curly hair have found that straightening their curls with heat tools makes it more manageable, but this isn't always an option due to the damage caused by frequent use of a flat iron or curling iron. If you try this method, use the lowest heat setting possible on your flat iron or curling iron; start out using only five seconds per section of hair at each stage (i.e., from root to tip) before moving on to the next one; then finish up by gently running a brush through your curls for added shine.
Straight hair
Straight hair is easier to maintain than curly hair. It’s also easier to style. You can cut a bob or shag, add layers, and color it all in a way that flatters your face shape.
If you have curly hair, the best thing you can do is find an expert who knows how to cut it so that it looks like a million dollars every time you leave their salon or spa.
Thin hair
If you have thin hair, your next step is to learn about the different kinds of products that can help. There are some great products out there that will add volume and body to your hair. You should also consider looking into a new hairstyle that may be more flattering for someone with thinner locks (for example, think about getting layers).
Look for styles that are easy to upkeep, so you don't have to spend hours in the salon.
If you're looking for easy-to-maintain styles, look for cuts that are short or medium in length. Having short hair means less styling and upkeep. If you want to keep your long locks, choose a style that's easy to manage with minimal effort (like loose waves).
Short hair can be worn curly or straight and is an ideal option if you have thinning hair. Similarly, women who have thick hair should consider wearing their tresses longer than they would have before their 50th birthday. The volume will help mask any thinning spots as well as add some body to the cut itself.
There are many hairstyles that look great on women over 50, but it's important to find one that suits your face shape and features. You should also consider how much time you want to spend styling your hair on a daily basis, so you can style yourself easily in the morning.
