These days, the red carpet serves as a reminder that age is no barrier to having fun with your hairstyle. But when you’re contemplating a change, it always pays to have plenty of inspiration to hand; especially if you’re keen to steer your hairdresser carefully towards exactly the look you want.
What is the most flattering hair length for women over 50?
There is no specific hair length that women over 50 should adhere to: it’s all down to you and your personal style and preferences. Depending on your hair type and density, any and all lengths can be worked with to create your dream hairstyle. However, if you are looking for some foolproof expert advice, then “hair to the collarbone with some soft layers is such a flattering look”, according to Andreas Wilde, stylist at Larry King. The most important thing is that it works for your lifestyle and makes you feel confident.
Are bangs a good option for mature hair?
Bangs can be a great option for mature hair as they look flattering on a range of hair types, whether thick and blocky like Jane Birkin’s or wispier like Sabrina Carpenter’s. A style like Carpenter’s looks especially good on those with a natural curls, adding more structure and definition around the face and eyes.
“Face framing is also important,” Wilde adds. “Many of my clients who are in their 50s and above opt for a fringe or soft pieces around the face to soften their face. Some have even suggested that getting a fringe has saved them from getting various tweakments, giving them the glow they were looking for with a simple hair revamp.”
How often should women over 50 get haircuts and trims?
There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to cutting hair, regardless of age. “It’s all relative,” Irinel de León, celebrity hairstylist and Dyson’s global styling ambassador, previously told Vogue. “It all depends on your hair texture, the integrity of your hair and how often you colour or double process your hair.”
Regularly trimming or cutting your hair is generally beneficial and De León says that it can even help to improve hair growth. Trims are also important for strengthening your strands and preventing breakage. Overall, a regular trim will keep your hair looking healthy, intentional and free from any dreaded split ends.
One of the most popular short celebrity hairstyles is, of course, the bob: a style that works on all ages and hair textures. Beyond the bob, there are myriad other shorter looks to explore, including shags, pixie cuts, lobs and bangs.
