Short Length Hairstyles For Older Women

Older women are constantly looking for a great hairstyle that will make them look elegant and attractive while reflecting their level of maturity. At the same time, they may be forced to content with changes like thinning hair or dried our locks.


With all this in mind, it can seem impossible to find a look that suits their current needs and keeps them looking trendy rather than outdated. However, there are some great looks perfectly suited to women over the age of fifty. First, there are shorter ‘dos that can bring life back to damaged or thinning hair.

Shorter looks also look chic and mature without looking “old.” Plus, a short ‘do with long bangs can help mask wrinkles on the forehead. For those with fuller hair, volume should be cherished and embraced. Styles that are fuller at the crown look mature and professional, while still keeping a sexy air of femininity. The best cuts are those that are full at the top and come down around the face in framing layers. This helps soften your facial features and can take attention away from any noticeable lines and wrinkles.


As for color, many women fear the coming of gray hair. However, changing hair color is nothing to be ashamed of. Whether you choose to dye or not, hair should always look natural. So, try to avoid telling roots or faded locks. Choose a rich color and touch up frequently, or choose a dye that lets you go all gray when you’re still in that “salt and pepper” stage.
