Color Trends For Older Women

Finding the ideal hair color can make you feel refined and luxurious. From hiding grays to giving yourself an updated look, older women have numerous options when selecting their shade of choice.

One of the best options for women today is a neutral brown shade like chestnut; this sophisticated hue can complement any skin tone.

Butterfly Blonde

Buttery blonde is an ideal shade to help add depth and dimension to thin strands, complementing many skin tones while pairing beautifully with ash-brown locks. A bit warmer and golden than platinum, buttery is a popular choice among those who wish to maintain their natural blonde shade but still add dimension and brightness to their locks.

A blonde highlight will elevate the appearance of a butterfly cut and make it even more eye-catching. Use a balayage technique to apply highlights strategically, or go all-out and add full-head highlights – both options will showcase its brilliance!

Butterfly haircuts feature layers that create texture and dimension, making this style ideal for thinner locks. In this ashy blonde example, feathering and graduation keep it smooth around the face, but as soon as it reaches the ends, it gets much choppier and shaggier, creating volume in each strand. Long curtain bangs featuring layers and feathering add an elegant finishing touch!

Chocolate Brown

Chocolate brown is an eye-catching shade with layers of depth. This sophisticated hue is ideal for older women looking to add dimension and makes an eye-catching statement in their look.

Olivia Casanova of IGK Salon’s celebrity hairstyling team and stylist Maluma and Johnathan Cheban have noted that chocolate’s hue can range from milk chocolate, with golden and copper hues, to dark chocolate with reddish-violet tones. While both types work beautifully for all skin tones, dark chocolate particularly flatters those with warm or olive complexions, according to Olivia Casanova.

Jaxcee recommends investing in a good hair-care routine that includes sulfate-free shampoo and toning drops as part of this rich, chocolaty hue’s care regime, as they will extend its longevity while still looking vibrant and healthy. Also, use heat protectant spray when styling to safeguard strands against damage.

Soft Brown

When it comes to dyeing your hair, there are numerous styles you can opt for when it comes to dying your locks. From more natural shades like honey brown and light caramel hues to bold red shades that will highlight your best features – there’s sure to be one to suit your skin tone without looking too dark or light against it.

Soft Brown is identified with the hex code B7825F, comprising 45% red, 32% green, and 23% blue hues. In printers, it is represented as C:0 M:29 Y:48 K:28 and is part of a split complementary palette and triadic scheme consisting of colors placed on either side (30deg) of its complementary hue.

This shade is ideal for middle-aged women looking to defy their age with an impressive hairstyle and combining a soft brown base color with brighter baby lights for an eye-catching sun-kissed effect and to increase the natural volume of strands.

Natural Blonde

Blondes don’t only belong to young women – they also look fantastic on women over 50! While a monochromatic blonde may look flat and hard against older ladies’ complexions, soft caramel or golden shades of blonde can still create an eye-catching effect while remaining easy to manage and comfortable for daily life. Pieces of lighter color may be added where sunlight hits naturally for an eye-catching effect that still feels natural and manageable.

. Balayage is a low-contrast dye job designed to add dimension to graying strands without overdoing them. When selecting a blonde shade, be mindful of your undertone – some tones may clash with specific complexions.

Marilyn Monroe may have been best known as a redhead, but her platinum blonde locks remain popular today among older women. Jennifer Lawrence also rocked blonde locks very successfully.
