Add highlights for an eye-catching youthful touch. This color technique also serves to lighten natural grays.
Bob with Bangs
A cute bob with bangs is the ideal style choice for those seeking a non-dramatic yet modern style. Choppy layers bring lots of energy while the brow-length bangs open up your face and frame your eyes like youthful frames. Additionally, this cut can help cover thin or brittle hair while adding volume through bangs. Another popular long ombre style for women bob with bangs is this long ombre style. The lighter shade at the top accentuates her cheekbones and jawline while darker bangs add an unexpected element. To achieve this look, ask your stylist to add subtle streaks of muted brown highlights into your blonde bob with bangs; or tame curly locks using curl cream or hair gel for an easy style that requires little maintenance.
Lob with Layers
Common belief holds that women over 50 should wear their hair short. Pixie cuts and bobs may suit mature faces best; however, lobs, medium-length and even longer styles also look beautiful. When selecting an ideal style for over 50s it’s essential that it frames their facial structure while offering plenty of volume and texture for maximum impact. A layered lob with bangs is suitable for most face shapes, and can be styled sleek and straight or curly and voluminous depending on your personal preference. If a full fringe isn’t your cup of tea, consider opting for side part to add subtle volume. This blonde lob with angled layers stands out with its subtle angles and thick locks. If your layers are long enough, try leaving them longer for an Old Hollywood glamour feel or shorten them for more contemporary vibes. Or you could go darker to add drama and complement your skin tone better.
Shag with Bangs
A midi shag with bangs is the ideal style for those who love short haircuts but want something with more dimension. Feathered layers create movement and draw the eye, while its side-swept bang adds femininity. Additionally, this style works especially well on thick hair as it creates volume while emphasizing width. If you want a chic, feminine yet punk aesthetic, why not give the salt and pepper pixie with choppy baby bangs a try? It will surely turn heads and is ideal for anyone wanting a red carpet look with some edge. If you’re contemplating a pixie cut, try working up to this textured fringe version with a slick-back style. It can show off your face while hiding fine lines and wrinkles as well as being much easier to grow out than straight or blunt bangs.
Medium to Long with Layers
Women over 50 often mistakenly assume they cannot wear long hair; while shorter styles certainly can work, long and medium-length haircuts for these ladies also look amazing. A lob with face-framing layers and side-swept bang can do wonders to show off feminine beauty while making you appear years younger! This layered bob is an enjoyable and youthful style for women over 50 who like to experiment with their hair. Light blonde highlights combine with natural gray strands to accentuate your best features while hiding others, and its length hits just below the shoulders for an attractive silhouette. This woman sports face-framing layers that are 3 or 4 inches long, as well as side-swept bangs that frame her face beautifully. This style works particularly well on thicker hair textures but can also provide fullness on thin strands needing some help creating fuller shapes.
