Getting older doesn't mean you have to give up long hair, but rather finding that haircut that best fits. After 50, hair can lose density, volume or texture, and choosing the length and shape well can make all the difference when it comes to enhancing features and providing movement. Because it is not about looking younger at all costs, but rather about opting for a style that refreshes the image, that provides style and is easy to maintain on a daily basis.
Specifically, these are the four haircuts recommended by some hairdressers in the publication Hello! Flattering, modern proposals full of personality that add volume, soften the features and demonstrate that a good cut can become the best ally at any age.
Naomi Watts' bouclé carré
This haircut is elegant, flattering and very versatile, perfect for both everyday and special occasions. Its secret is in the curls, which add volume, movement and texture to the hair, creating a more abundant effect and a finish full of personality. Furthermore, with a little definition and the right products, it transforms into a sophisticated hairstyle with that touch of glamor that elevates any look.
It is “an ultra-feminine hairstyle that allows a wide variety of changes, it is easy to manage from the stylist's point of view, but you must be clear about the style and the ideal length before starting,” comments David Künzle from the salons.
Although it is also a hair that can be worn straight, and in this case it is a cut “perfect for sharpening oval faces if we leave it longer or shorter for women with hard, marked features and an elongated face, also for older faces,” they point out.
A slightly asymmetrical bob like Halle Berry's
The bob is one of the favorites of medium-length haircuts to rejuvenate and add elegance. It is a timeless cut that has no age and stylists tend to recommend it a lot, especially after 50. The bob is very flattering when it looks slightly shorter at the nape of the neck and has soft front strands like Halle Berry's bob.
Thanks to asymmetry, fine hair gains volume and density. It is ideal “for the length to be above the clavicle and to distribute the volume through the layers and in a harmonious way to generate movement, with a slightly paraded contour, as long as the density and quantity of the hair allows it,” say David Künzle's stylists.
Sharon Stone's elegant bixie
Among the trendy short haircuts, the bixie wins the game for having the best of the bob and the pixie. It's like having short hair but at the same time feeling like you have a long hair and that's a lot of fun. It works on all textures and its length is enough to frame the face after 50.
This cut has “a length that grazes the jaw or is slightly elongated in front. It is designed especially for curly or wavy hair, and is structured in soft layers that provide volume, movement and lightness,” explains hairstylist Noelia Jiménez.
Winona Ryder's shaggy is perfect for gaining modernity
Not everyone dares to wear a shaggy style, but those who do end up gaining a lot of personality and attractiveness. It is a cut with a lot of vibes that stylist Jual Leal points out as “ideal for fine hair and narrow, rather thin faces.”
This cut with messy layers and tousled texture provides a very flattering and modern definition. According to hairdresser Fran Galán: “It is perfect for women with slightly wavy hair, since the layers help create volume and movement, enhancing this wave.”
