Whatever type of hair you have, we have already seen that a well-thought-out haircut can work real magic. In the case of curly hair, if the cut tries to achieve something, it is that the curls are enhanced, not stretched or flattened. However, as you age, you must also keep in mind that your hair is more prone to frizz, and gray hair begins to appear.
After summer, your hair needs a good set-up, something that will always be great. A good dose of hydration and sanitizing ends will be key. And of course, it is also a good time to choose one of the 2026 trend haircuts and start autumn with a fresher image and revitalized hair.
Curl expert Conchi Arias comments to the Clara publication: “this fall I especially like cuts that do that: that do not try to hide the hair we have, but rather allow us to wear it better. A good cut can make the curl gain shape, the gray hair add luminosity and the hair look much more modern without having to complicate things too much,” she says.
Conchi, as a good expert on curly hair and the owner of curly hair, knows perfectly well what the real needs of curly hair are. After 40, beyond choosing a flattering and rejuvenating cut, it is important to focus on knowing “which cut makes the hair look more alive, with more intention and with a shape that accompanies what is happening in the hair at that moment,” says the hairdresser.
If we think about women aged 40 or older, who are looking for a haircut for this fall, the expert recommends those that “provide more movement, more light and less rigidity,” explains Arias. And what do we do with the gray hair? Well, precisely what the stylist recommends is to play with them to our advantage. “Well integrated gray hair can become small points of light that give depth and make the curl look even more beautiful.”
boyfriend curly bob
Among curly haircuts, the bob is a perfect option. Specifically the style boyfriend it's a Bob Relaxed with a natural and attractive appearance. It doesn't look too layered and looks full, with density. Precisely this aspect makes it look very beautiful when there is gray hair, because as the base is compact the gray hair integrates very well and looks like natural reflections. In addition, the bob helps the curl achieve a more rounded and defined shape, but always with a natural essence.
Curly wolf cut
We love this cut very much, not only because it is modern and daring, but because it looks spectacular on curly hair. The expert points out this cut as one of the fall trends and a good option for curly hair. “I would maintain visible layers, a little more volume in the upper area and a slightly longer silhouette at the back, but without reaching a marked mullet.” On hair with good density it works very well, because with its layers and definition it distributes the volume very well; and the gray hair is integrated between these layers, reflecting light differently.
Long bob with curly curtain bangs
Another of the basic cuts when we think about curly hair is the long bob with bangs. It is a cut that lightens the hair and has an incredible style. The long bob reaches to the shoulders or a little below, it does not require cutting too much but just enough for the curls to find their place. This hair style “can look beautiful when the first gray hair appears precisely around the face. Instead of trying to hide them, we can take advantage of them to illuminate the cheekbones and eyes,” explains Conchi.
