A lot of women say that once they hit 50, they begin to really enjoy life to its fullest. They stop worrying about what people think of them so much and start focusing on their own happiness. This doesn’t mean that they don’t want to look stylish and attractive, it just means that they know when to pass on a fading trend and choose a look that suits them instead. Hairstyles are no exception to this rule. Although styles and cuts go in and out of fashion, choosing a classic look that suits your face is timeless. Just make sure that it has the right modern touches to ensure that it’s fresh and chic rather than old and outdated. Below are the best hairstyles for women over 50.

1. Long Hair with Curls
Long, straight hair can have a tendency to drag down the face, particularly in older women. If you feel like this is happening to you, combat the problem by adding some youthful curls to your long hairstyle. Their bouncy style will help add life to your hair and keep your face looking young and bright. They also have a luxurious and glamorous feel that is perfect for special occasions. To wear your long hair with curls, ask your stylist to cut in a few long layers for shape and texture. If you have thin hair, though, ask for blunt ends to maximize your volume. When styling your hair, use a large curling iron and remember to curl your hair away from your face to keep the look open and light.

2. Straight and Face-Framing
Straight, long hair is a hard look to pull off whether you’re 20 or 50. While curls can be a great way to make long hair work for you, they can also be time-consuming to create, particularly if you have naturally straight hair. If you’re in need of a more low-maintenance look, consider keeping your long hair straight and adding some face-framing layers. Doing so will soften the severity of your straight hair to create a gorgeous feminine look. To style this look after cutting, simply blow dry your hair smooth while using a round brush to create a slight curl at the ends of strands for movement and shape.

3. Long Hair with Bangs
If you love your long hair but find that it’s looking a little bland, consider adding some bangs to modernize your style. Bangs are a great way to update any hairstyle and can make for an exciting change without having to cut your hair short. They also have the bonus of hiding lines that you may feel self-conscious about, as well as beautifully highlighting your eyes. When considering changing your hairstyle to include bangs, choose between side and front styles. As hair naturally thins out as you get older, side bangs tend to be the best option, blending in with the rest of your hair. Front bangs can still look great if you have thick hair. If you have thin hair, ask your stylist to cut your bangs choppy rather than full. For this style to work, also make sure that you tame any oily-ness as it will make your bangs sit flat and limp instead of full and bouncy.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-150226″ alt=”Long Hair with Bangs” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300139_273_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
4. Medium Layered Cut
As you age your hair changes and can, unfortunately, lose some of its shape and volume. The best way to give your hair back its life and bounce is to add layers. A medium-length haircut with layers is a great option for many women. It’s light and youthful while still being womanly and polished. To achieve this look, have your stylist cut your hair so that the longest pieces graze your shoulders. This length will add more movement to your hair as it breaks on your shoulders. Top layers should then be cut gradually shorter, discreetly finishing around the cheekbones and jaw.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-150227″ alt=”Medium Layered Haircut” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300141_493_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
5. Medium Length with Bangs
Medium length hair with bangs is a timeless style that looks great season after season. Easily worn curly or straight, this style is versatile and requires low maintenance. To nail this look, have your stylist cut your hair to finish a couple of inches past your shoulders to balance out your bangs. As heavy bangs can drag down the face and cast dark shadows, choose between side-swept or light front bangs. If you pick side-swept bangs, opt for either a shorter length that just hits the eyebrow or a longer length that seamlessly tapers into the rest of your hair. If you choose front bangs, however, ask your stylist to keep the look light, soft, and choppy, to suit your medium length.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-150229″ alt=”Medium Length Hair with Bangs” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300142_884_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
6. Lob
A lob haircut is a gorgeous and very stylish haircut to try. Falling in between a bob haircut and traditional medium-length hairstyles, this look is modern and chic. Working best on healthy shiny hair, a lob accentuates volume and frames the face. To get the most out of this look, have your stylist cut your lob a tiny bit shorter in the back than the front with long layers around your face. This cut will be the most flattering and it will have a youthful appeal. Keep ends blunt and choose between a middle part for a striking look or a side part for a softer style. Wear your hair straight or opt for a slight wave on days when it’s looking a little lifeless.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-150223″ alt=”Lob Hairstyle for Women” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300143_266_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
7. Choppy Pixie
From Hallie Berry to Kris Jenner, women over 50 are rocking the choppy pixie cut. Fun, stylish, and a little bit flirty, this cut is a great option for women looking to go short with their hair. Keeping the extra length in this choppy pixie will allow you to style it messy for a fantastic youthful feel. Light, wispy bangs will also help you nail the pixie cut look with a great feminine appeal. You can even try styling them back for a unique variation on this look. If you choose this pixie cut, though, just remember to run some product through your hair with your hands before leaving the house. Doing so will give your hair the desired texture and stop it from looking flat and lifeless.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-150220″ alt=”Choppy Pixie Cut” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300144_331_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
8. Classic Sleek Bob
Nothing beats a classic, and a sleek bob haircut is definitely a classic. This timeless style is forever flattering and chic, regardless of what is on-trend. Smooth bobs, which finish around chin height, are the perfect face-framing style. They show off your face but aren’t as exposing as a pixie cut. Gently sitting around your face, instead of covering it, a classic bob is a highly flattering style for women over 50. If this is your regular style, try mixing things up with a different part or by adding different layers. Just remember to be careful if you have thick hair. Too short and it could end up looking puffy rather than sleek.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-150221″ alt=”Classic Bob Hairstyle” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300145_693_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
9. Curly Bob
While a classic bob is sleek and polished, a curly bob is sexy and feminine. Soft curls that finish at the neck make this style a winning look for women over 50. The curls add movement and bounce to hair, creating desirable volume and style. Keep the look smooth and full at the roots by blow-drying your hair with a round brush while pulling hair upwards. Then add a few large curls to the bottom half of the locks to complete the look. Curl hair both inwards and outwards at the back for a natural and thick-looking finish and away from the face at the front to keep the look open and light.
“alignnone size-full wp-image-150222″ alt=”Curly Bob Hairstyle” width=”800″ height=”450″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300146_955_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
10. Classic Pixie Cut
The classic pixie cut features short hair on the sides and back, short bangs, and has more length on top of the head. It is flattering on most face shapes and great for women of all ages. This classic style remains a favorite because it is practical and versatile. Keeping your hair short also makes it easy to maintain and reduces styling time. A pixie cut can look fantastic on all hair textures and types and is perfect if you want to embrace your gray hair. The look is simple but stylish and can also draw attention to your neck and face shape. Highlight this by wearing statement jewelry such as big earrings or a gorgeous necklace.

11. Backcombed Hair with Bangs
Backcombed hair has a retro-chic appearance and is gorgeous if you want to create volume. The hairstyle also has a 60s feel; think of Brigitte Bardot’s iconic style. Backcombing is created by brushing the hair backward toward the scalp. It can be complemented with bangs, which will give a softness to your appearance and highlight your features. What bangs you choose are entirely up to you, but some of the best options are curtain bangs or a side-part fringe; both of these looks are very flattering and work well with most face shapes. They can also frame the face, drawing attention to your features. Bangs are fantastic at creating a more youthful appearance and can hide fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead.
“aligncenter wp-image-299016 size-full” alt=”Backcombed Hair With Bangs” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300148_958_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
12. Hairstyle with Volume
If you want to make a statement with your hair and get noticed, then do it with volume. Adding volume to your hair and making it big, demands attention and is a way to highlight your hair texture and cut. This glamorous style can complement your face shape and features. The right cut and grooming products can give you the fullness you desire while also giving your hair movement. You can also use heat styling for volume. If you have naturally greasy hair, you may want to offset this with dry shampoo.
“size-full wp-image-304741 aligncenter” alt=”Volume Hair Older Women Hairstyle” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpeg”/>
13. Combed Back Hair with Volume
Combed back hair can be incredibly flattering and make your face appear more open. This can highlight your facial features and complement your face shape. In particular, your cheekbones, lips, and eyes; you can make them the focus of your appearance even more by opting for a bold shade of lipstick or by using eyeliner. The appeal of combed-back hair is that it can help achieve volume, making your hair look thick and full while also giving it movement. This is a fantastic look for formal events and is very sophisticated and glamorous.
“aligncenter wp-image-299026 size-full” alt=”Combed Back Hair With Volume” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300150_240_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
14. Slicked Back Hair
Slicked back hair is a simple yet effective way to make a statement. It can be created on most hairstyles and is achieved by using a strong gel or similar product. The idea is to brush the hair away from the face, opening it up and highlighting your features, specifically your eyes and jawline. The hair will also have a slightly wet, glossy appearance and is perfect for more formal settings. It has a very sophisticated feel and keeps the hair out of your eyes, which is also practical. Although most women love bangs to help them achieve a youthful glow, this hairstyle can be just as flattering and does not require maintenance or regular trips to the salon for touch-ups.
“aligncenter wp-image-299002 size-full” alt=”Slicked Back Hair” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300151_536_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
15. Short Wavy Hair
Wavy hair is a sought-after hair texture because it looks great even with the most simple cuts. If you are looking for a stylish and practical way to wear your hair, consider cutting it short. This could be with a classic hairstyle like the bob or pixie, or you can get more adventurous, working with your hairstylist to add other elements to it, like a temple shave for contrast. When styling your hair, consider letting it fall around your face, which can be incredibly flattering and soften your features. You can also work it into a simple updo hairstyle, leaving a few waves to fall around the face.
“aligncenter wp-image-299025 size-full” alt=”Short Wavy Hair” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300153_112_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
16. Blunt Hairstyle
A blunt cut is a straight cut without any layers and is excellent for someone looking to achieve a style that demands precision. It is best to highlight the cut with straight hair, but it can be done on all hair types. It is also a low-maintenance cut, and you do not need to worry about regular touch-ups. There are various ways to wear a blunt cut, including the bob. The bob haircut is incredibly chic, looks good on women of all ages, and can be adapted to suit all face shapes. The blunt bob features straight ends and is versatile and fashionable. Blunt ends can also give you the illusion of thicker hair.
“aligncenter wp-image-298991 size-full” alt=”Blunt Hairstyle” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300154_712_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
17. Messy Spikes
Consider messy spikes for the woman who wants a fun and edgy look. It is an expressive option for someone who wants to experiment with different textures but is less dramatic than opting for a temple shave or bold hair color. This modern approach to spiky hair is also much more wearable, with the spikes less structured and stiff than in the 90s, instead having a soft, tousled look. It is excellent for adding volume to short hair. Keeping your hair short can be incredibly flattering, leaving it looking thicker, fuller, and overall healthier.
“aligncenter wp-image-299018 size-full” alt=”Messy Spikes” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300155_150_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
18. Short Natural Curls
Avoiding heat styling and chemicals will leave you with structurally stronger hair. Natural hair, especially curly, looks gorgeous and can soften your features. You can keep it at the length of your choosing, but most women find that wearing their hair short is more practical once they reach a certain age. This is often because hair thins with age, and the growth rate slows. Choose a cut that highlights your facial features and complements your face shape. You may also wish to let a few curls fall around your face for a framing effect.
“aligncenter wp-image-299006 size-full” alt=”Voluminous Natural Hair” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300157_450_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
19. Bob Haircut for Thick Hair
The bob haircut is a timeless classic and is great for women of all ages. It can also be adapted to suit your hair texture and type, and for short thick hair, a good idea would be to add layers. Layers help remove weight from the hair, making it appear less bulky. It also makes your hair easier to style and enables you to achieve healthier hair. The bob is practical and chic for older women, and you can change it to suit your preference. A great choice would be to style it with a fringe; this can give you a youthful appearance and hide wrinkles or fine lines on the forehead. You can embrace your natural hair color or add highlights throughout your hair to give it depth and dimension.
“aligncenter wp-image-299032 size-full” alt=”Bob Haircut For Thick Hair (1)” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300158_660_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
20. Middle Parting
The middle parting is practical and stylish; as the hair falls on either side of the face, it is easy to tuck behind your ears and opens up your face. It is also a fantastic way of drawing attention to your features, including your eyes. The appeal of the middle part is that it is low-maintenance and can be worn on many cuts, lengths, and hair textures. It looks most dramatic with straighter hair and tends to have a more blended appearance with curly locks. The downside to the middle part is that it does not look good on everyone and will not compliment all face shapes. It can also highlight parts of your face that are not symmetrical.
“aligncenter wp-image-298982 size-full” alt=”Middle Parting” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300159_926_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
21. Messy Updo
There is something pretty about a messy updo. The deliberately undone appearance can be very flattering and helps create a relaxed and romantic aesthetic. This updo can be as simple or complicated as you wish and can be done with hair of varying lengths and textures. Leaving hair to fall around your face can also soften your features, and the messy updo feels less restrictive and is effortless to create compared to sleek and sophisticated hairstyles. Before doing your updo, consider that it is best on hair that is not freshly washed to give you more grit and make styling easier.
“aligncenter wp-image-298990 size-full” alt=”Messy Updo” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300161_171_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
22. Side Swept Bangs
Most hairstyles benefit from the addition of bangs. Bangs can transform your appearance, giving you a youthful glow. They can also do wonders for the face, highlighting your features or disguising areas like fine lines or forehead wrinkles. Choosing the right bangs can be a daunting task as you want them to complement your face shape and hair texture. That said, one of the most universally flattering options is side-swept bangs which can balance your facial features. They look gorgeous on women of all ages and on all hair textures; wavy and curly hair will have a less structured and tousled appearance, whereas straight hair will highlight your cut better.
“aligncenter wp-image-299012 size-full” alt=”Side Swept Bangs ” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300162_302_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
23. Buzz Cut
A buzz cut is a daring option for women, but it is also stylish and practical. The shaved haircut can shift the focus away from your hair and onto your face and features. This look works best with good bone structure and strong features and can be incredibly flattering, although it takes some serious confidence to pull off. It is also low-maintenance and perfect for the woman who wants a fuss-free look that requires no styling time. When we age, our hair can become thinner and more brittle, and a buzz cut is a way to eliminate this. Before getting this hairstyle, you need to consider your head shape and any imperfections that you do not want to draw attention to.
“aligncenter wp-image-298996 size-full” alt=”Buzz Cut ” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300163_168_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
24. Pixie Cut with Side Part
A parting that is incredibly flattering for most face shapes is the side parting. It is also effortless to wear, can be added to several haircuts, and is achieved with various lengths and textures. A side part on curly hair can give a softer, more blended appearance, whereas it can be more noticeable on straight hair. Consider a pixie cut when deciding what haircut to pair this parting with. Keeping length in the front of this classic short hairstyle gives the illusion of longer locks. This is a great way to embrace short hair while still maintaining some of the benefits of long hair, like the versatility of styling. Your side parting can fall across your face with a fringe or be more subtle and swept back, depending on your preference.
“aligncenter wp-image-298983 size-full” alt=”Pixie Cut With Side Part” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300164_886_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
25. Ponytail
The ponytail is one of the most simple updos. Practical and flattering, this look can be achieved in various ways depending on your hair length and preference. Those with longer hair can wear a high ponytail for a sophisticated and more formal hairstyle, whereas a low ponytail is great for working out or relaxing. Keep a few wispy pieces on the side for a soft and feminine look, or wear your ponytail with blunt bangs for an interesting contrast. The ponytail is effortless to create, and pulling the hair away from your eyes and off of your neck can be incredibly flattering; it can draw attention to those areas on the body. You can have fun by wearing large earrings or a statement necklace to highlight your face and neck further.
“aligncenter wp-image-298995 size-full” alt=”Ponytail ” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300166_571_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
26. Hair Accessory Hairstyle
Adding fun and colorful hair accessories to your hair is practical and stylish. Depending on your choice of accessories, from head scarfs to scrunchies, they are designed to keep the hair out of your face or off your neck, or both. This gives you a lot of versatility with how you want to style your hair, and it can be the perfect finishing touch. There is also a lot of choice with colors and prints, letting you express yourself with a bold accessory; this is a subtle way to experiment with bright colors. You can also match your hairpiece to your clothing for a matchy-matchy finish which can be incredibly chic.
“aligncenter wp-image-299009 size-full” alt=”Hair Accessory Hairstyle” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300167_766_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
27. Modern Bob
The bob is a classic and versatile women’s haircut that has withstood the test of time. The appeal of this cut and one of the reasons it is still relevant is that it can be adapted to suit your hair texture, face shape, and preferences. To make the look feel less dated, you can include more modern elements. This can be done by experimenting with different lengths of your cut, the addition of bangs, and the angles at which you cut it. Bangs are a fantastic way to transform your look and give you a youthful appearance. The right bangs can complement your best features and will give you confidence.
“aligncenter wp-image-298997 size-full” alt=”Modern Bob” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300168_383_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
28. Natural Long Curly Hair
If your hair has turned gray at 50, this is not something you need to hide. While there is no shame in dying your hair, more and more women choose to embrace their natural color and wear it with confidence. Gray hair can be incredibly gorgeous, and the color can highlight your hair texture and cut. The lightness of gray also means that any dryness or frizz will be accentuated, so be sure to use a good conditioner and nourishing hair masks to keep it looking its best. There is no hairstyle that you can or cannot wear, but many women find keeping their hair shorter is more practical. Hair growth also tends to slow with age, and you may experience some thinning and hair loss, which is completely normal.
“aligncenter wp-image-298984 size-full” alt=”Gray Curly Hair” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300169_546_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
29. Pixie Haircut with Bangs
The classic pixie cut does have a slight fringe, but the beauty of this look is that it can be adapted to suit your preference. This could be by experimenting with different bangs, whether with the length or the shape. Wispy bangs are fantastic if you want a subtle and romantic look, while blunt bangs can make a statement and draw attention to your face. The right bangs can also transform your look and complement your face shape. For example, a side-swept fringe is fabulous on most women but best suits heart and square-shaped faces, while blunt bangs are fantastic on oval faces. Bangs can also give your hair structure or add volume or movement, so work with your hairstylist to find the option that suits you best.

30. Strawberry Blonde Hair with Highlights
If you are not a natural strawberry blonde, you may be drawn to this color because it is stunning, especially on those with pale skin and light eyes. The color can lighten and brighten your hair, giving it a lift and highlighting the wave pattern. Several color variations include more fiery reds and lighter, more muted tones, so you can find the hue that best compliments your features. You can also tone down the color by adding highlights to your hair, giving it more depth and dimension.
“aligncenter wp-image-299000 size-full” alt=”Strawberry Blonde Wavy Hair” width=”455″ height=”700″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661300171_737_60-Youthful-Hairstyles-Haircuts-for-Women-Over-50.jpg”/>
31. Long Straight Hair
Don’t listen to the nonsense about not wearing your hair long when you are past a certain age. You should do what you want, and long hair is incredibly gorgeous. Long straight hair can give you a sleek and sophisticated appearance and is perfect for various occasions. It can also reflect light, giving your hair a lovely shine to it. The important thing to consider is the thickness of your hair, as when we age, our hair tends to be thin. This can be particularly noticeable on straight hair. If you feel your hair is thinning, incorporate layers into your cut to add movement and volume. Strategically placed layers can give your hair texture and make it look thicker and fuller.

32. Bowl Cut
The classic bowl cut is not for the faint-hearted. Instead, it is for daring women who do not mind standing out from the crowd. The hairstyle is defined by having the same length all around the head, but the modern approach to the mushroom-looking 80s classic lets you experiment with length, more texture, and different fringe options. This makes them more wearable, but it still retains its cool and quirky vibe. Letting the length of the bangs of your bowl cut skim your brows is a great option and will draw attention to your eyes. You can also personalize the look with shaved sides. The appeal of the bowl cut is that it can be created on all hair textures and adapted to suit most face shapes.

33. Sophisticated Updo
There is always a suitable time for a sophisticated updo hairstyle. It could be worn to attend a wedding, a formal function, a work event, or even date night. What defines this updo is based on your preference, hair type, and hair length, but in general, this will be a look that is sleek and put together. While messy updos are appealing, they have a much more relaxed aesthetic; for this one, you want to ensure that all the hairs are in place and look smooth and polished. You can add hair accessories like a baby’s breath or even a fascinator depending on the occasion. Let your makeup compliment your hairstyle by keeping it natural but opting for a bold shade of lipstick; think simple and classic.

34. Asymmetrical Hairstyle
The asymmetrical hairstyle is all about interesting angles and is created with one side being longer than the other. This lets you play with proportions and can give you an edgy yet stylish appearance. Your cut can be created on various hair textures and lengths, but straighter hair tends to look best as it makes the cut more visible. If you want a more subtle and blended appearance, curly hair can help achieve this. An asymmetrical hairstyle can have a youthful look and balance your features. It will also draw attention to the eyes and jawline. It is excellent for women of all ages and feels very modern.

36. Short Straight Pixie Cut
Straight hair works just as well in a pixie cut as curly or wavy hair. A short straight pixie cut is easy to maintain and a great option if you want to cut your hair short. Short hair can also be healthy and look fuller and thicker. This is an excellent option if you find that your hair has been thinning with age. You can work with your hairstylist to find the cut that best suits your face shape and complements your hair texture. For example, if you have a round face, an angled cut is best, while oval face shapes may prefer a classic approach to the pixie cut. In addition, your hair will look gorgeous when left gray or white.

37. Short Layered Fine Hair
If you have fine hair, the right haircut can help you prevent it from looking thin and delicate. One way to do this is by choosing a cut that features choppy layers. Layers are fantastic for adding dimension and movement to the hair and can make it look thicker and fuller. The different angles can also draw the eye to the hair’s ends. Try a short haircut, which will leave your hair in better condition and look healthier. It is also good to add highlights throughout to create the illusion of depth and dimension. When deciding on the color of your highlights, it is best to stick to one or two shades lighter for the most natural appearance.

38. Light Brown Hair Tips
If you want to give your hair an update without it being too dramatic, then a great choice would be to lighten just the tips.

This will give you a fresh and updated look and frame your face. In addition, it is a low-maintenance color option, quicker to get done, and less expensive than opting for highlights or color throughout the hair. For the best results and to achieve a more natural appearance, only lighten your hair by a shade or two.
