Peppy hairstyles for women over 50

Women over 50 often struggle with either thin and th inning hair. Or they develop a rough mane of hair that lacks shine. Moreover, it can hardly be styled anymore. Besides the right anti-age hair colour, the right cut is especially important. Fortunately, there are many sassy hairstyles for women over 50. What should these looks be able to do? First and foremost, they should not make you look older, but younger. Hairstyles for women over 50 don't always have to be razor-short. They should suit the wearer, look modern and emphasise the colour.

The Pixie Cut

This short haircut is the ideal hairstyle for the sporty woman over 50. It brings thin hair into shape and also looks ultra-modern. While young people like to wear the Pixie Cut with super-short fringes, a longer fringe is recommended here. The advantages of a longer fringe:

• it makes you look younger
• Hides wrinkles on the forehead
• softens the face

It is important that the hair is not too thin. The choice of hair colour also plays an important role, especially with short hairstyles. The rule of thumb is: the lighter the hair, the less full it looks. So try a few shades darker!

The French Bob

The French bob is a great choice when it comes to peppy hairstyles for women over 50.

This bob haircut is especially popular with French women and gives every woman a certain Parisian chic. The French bob is characterised by its playful shape and a characteristic fringe. The tips end at chin level; the fringe plays around the eyebrows. Also great: the Parisian bob - a less severe, longer variation with wispier fringes. Both bob variations are great hairstyle ideas for elongated and heart-shaped faces.

Stacked Bob

In the early 2000s it already had countless followers because it is so immensely versatile. Its trademark: precisely cut steps that create a rounded shape at the back of the head. The hair is short at the nape, the top coat can also be worn short or medium length. When perfectly cut, this bob can be styled easily and modernly in no time at all. And it suits almost every face shape and hair type:

• The stacked bob gives fine hair more body.
• A thick head of curls benefits from thinning out to create this bob variation.

Shaggy Bob

Shaggy hairstyles are absolutely popular and will remain so for a long time to come. Shaggy in hairstyle parlance means stepped. This creates a beautiful texture. A long fringe down to the eyebrows, the so-called curtain fringes, complete the look perfectly. A true fountain of youth and one of many upbeat hairstyles for women over 50!

With pink highlights, you can also give grey hair a playful touch.

Medium-length hairstyles

Nowadays there is no rule about when you can no longer wear your hair long. The hairstyle simply has to suit the wearer, the hair texture and the lifestyle. Medium-length ha irstyles give the hair more visual fullness. Whether a woman wears her haircut down to the chin or to the collarbone is best decided together with her hairdresser. A beautiful variation is a layered undercut. Here, the top hair remains the same length and the look magically acquires a great fullness. For almost any peppy hairstyle for women over 50, a fringe is the absolute secret tip. It makes you look younger and makes the hairstyle ultra-modern.

Shoulder-length lob

If the bob is too short for you, there's the lob. It's a neologism made up of long + bob. Long bob. Here, the hair goes down to the shoulders and is a flattering length for almost every face shape. Shoulder-length hair can be worn straight, wavy, curly, wild or sleek. In summer, you can tie your hair in a braid or wear it up in a relaxed style. In combination with a great colour gradient, the lob is one of the most popular hairstyles for women over 50.

Long hairstyles for women over 50

Long ha irstyles for women over 50? We love them! However, they are high-maintenance for any target group. This is especially true when the hair is no longer as supple with age and accordingly needs an enormous amount of moisture and lipids. The trend is even uniformly grey, long hair - it thrives on shine. If it is not shiny, it quickly looks unkempt. Therefore, women should treat their hair to regular conditioning and care treatments in the salon as well as a hair treatment at least once a week. And, of course, trim the ends too!

Face-framing steps

Strands of hair that frame the face are a great eye-catcher. Steps provide more visual fullness, even if the rest of the hair is not stepped. Depending on the shape of your face, steps can be longer or shorter and are always cut by a hairdresser. Rather round faces benefit from longer strands. And another tip: If these strands are a few shades lighter than the rest of the hair, a fresh look is created very quickly. Hairdressers call this face-framing. If the whole hair is styled through, it needs a little more styling time in the morning. If you don't style this look, it quickly looks shaggy.

Speaking of hair colour: The colour needs to be chosen well.

Waiting until the grey roots have completely grown out is not every woman's cup of tea. Many hairdressers have specialised in the #greynaissance target group. They have developed concepts in their salons that gradually help to achieve a wonderfully well-groomed grey. If you want to try a different colour, there are many shades to choose from. Important: Only permanent hair colour covers grey hair 100 %. Only the complexion must not clash with the chosen colour. If you don't want a mono hair colour, go to a hair salon and ask for advice on a balayage colouring technique. The roots can be refreshed again and again, while a glossing is often sufficient in the lengths.
