Looking for a new hairstyle? Have you been wearing your hair the same way for years or even decades? Maybe you’re ready for a color change? Or even ready to let your gray grow out?

No matter what the reason for feeling the need for a change it’s always good to look at hairstyles to get inspiration for your new look. Bring photos of what you like to your hairdresser and ask them if they think it is doable with your hair type and face shape.

Sometimes a small change can make a big difference.

1. Natural-Looking Waves – Play with your waves.

3. Shoulder Length Cut with Curls – Great for thin hair.
4. Longish Pixie – Pixie cut with highlights and lowlights.
5. Straight Chin-length Bob – A classic look that fits almost everyone.
6. Long Beach Waves – We are never too old for beachy hair.
7. Layered Shoulder Length – Great hairstyle for thick hair.
8. Layered Bob – Add layers for texture and movement.
9. Soft Layers with Bangs – Bangs never go out of style.
10. Short Shaved Sides – Modern and bold hairstyle.
11. Natural Curls – Beautiful curls are romantic and flirty.
12. Asymmetrical Bob – A bold hairstyle for trendy women.
13. Short Sassy Pixie – Classic and sassy super short hairstyle.
14. Long 80s Inspired – Go back in time.
15. Color Play – Express yourself with color.

Hairstyles for Women Over 50

Natural-Looking Waves

You can rock waves even if your hair isn’t wavy naturally. Styling products can enhance natural waves. Use a texturizing cream to add a “messy” look to your do. This style fits most face shapes and can be worn in all colors.

Natural Gray Curls

Gray doesn’t have to make you look older. More and more women in their 40s and 50s are not coloring their hair and are playing with their natural salt and pepper instead. Leave your hair grow out and play with your natural curls for a flirty youthful look.

Shoulder Length Cut with Curls

Shoulder length and single-layer hairstyles are great for fine or thin hair. Add some highlights for a more interesting and dimensional look. Also, you can easily create some curls with a wide barrel curling iron or a flat iron for more movement.

Longish Pixie

This classic short pixie/bob looks great on all face shapes and hair textures. You can play with color by adding highlights and lowlights. Use thickening shampoo to add a little oomph to your style if your hair is thin.

Straight Chin-Length Bob

Classic chin-length bobs suit most face shapes. Use a straightening product and a flat iron to smooth out the bob.

Long Beach Waves

Don’t let anyone tell you that you should cut your hair now that you are over 50. Women with healthy hair can wear it long for as long as they wish. We love this beachy hair look! Cut a long side-swept fringe and soft layers for more movement. Spray with a beach-hair product to get the perfect texture.

Layered Shoulder Length

Soften your thick hair with feathered layers. Add an anti-frizz product to keep your layered look fresh all day.

Layered Bob

Add layers to your bob haircut if your hair is thick and naturally wavy. Keep your bob cut above the shoulders and add a styling finishing product to keep your hair set all day.

Soft Layers with Bangs

Bangs (or fringes) never go out of style. Women often wear bangs to hide a receding hairline or a long forehead. Cut a side-swept fringe for a soft and girly look.

Short Shaved Sides

Feeling adventurous and modern? Go for an ultra-chic and statement hairstyle by shaving the sides super short and sweep the top to one side. This style looks great in every color and can look even more trendy with a bold color like pink or red.

Natural Curls

Cut your beautiful coils into an afro with soft bangs covering your forehead for a romantic and feminine look. Condition your natural curls for more definition.

Asymmetrical Bob

Another bold hairstyle women over 50 can rock is the asymmetrical cut. Have one side cut longer than the other for a fun and flirty look. Add some finishing spray to keep your style intact all day.

Short Sassy Pixie

Short hair looks great at any age. We love this short and sassy front-swept pixie that suits practically all face shapes and hair textures. Add a bold color like red to match your fiery personality!

Long 80s Inspired

Remember the long flipped curls of the 80s? 80s hairstyles are making a comeback, and women are styling their hair with a modern twist. Use a large hot air brush to expertly achieve the long flipped curls.

Color Play

A great way to express your personality is with hair color. Bold colors definitely don’t go unnoticed and can make you look and feel young and trendy.

Regardless of who you are or what your skin is like, wrinkles are part of the natural aging process. They’re inevitable and honestly, nothing to be frightened by or ashamed to show. Everyone gets them! While some embrace their fine lines with open arms, others might prefer to conceal them with beauty products. If you fall into the second camp, there’s a product that we definitely want to put you onto.

Korres’ bestselling Black Pine 3D Eye-Lift Super Serum works overtime to combat visible signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity. After swiping the serum under your eyes, you should notice your skin tighten and bounce right back. It’s like an eyelid lift, but without the needles.

For a quick crash course on what makes this product so effective, black pine promotes collagen production, mica brightens dark circles and dill extract. In fact, Korres works with the Greek Forestry Association to remove the most potent part of the black pine bark and pack it into this serum.

If you haven’t had luck with other anti-aging eye products, you might just strike gold with the Black Pine 3D Eye-Lift Super Serum. Shop it for 20 percent off at Revolve while you still can. The eye serum is additionally available at Korres, Sephora, Amazon and HSN.

To back up these tall claims, have a peek at shoppers’ reviews. After all, they collectively gave the product a 4.3-star overall rating on Korres’ site.

“This eye cream is amazing! It is so light, not heavy or greasy. Smells nice, lifts your eyelid, no heavy droopy hooded eyes,” raved one five-star reviewer. “Hides your fine lines; no more crow’s feet. I’m in love with this product! I use it every morning and night.”

“I use this twice daily above and under my eyes, and it is the only thing that works to lift sagging eyelids,” wrote another one. “I do two pumps in the morning and one pump at night. I pump the product onto one finger and then smush it onto the opposite finger to evenly distribute the serum. I’m on my fourth tube of this; a tube seems to last two to three months for me.”

Follow their lead and shop this eye serum ASAP. To apply, use your ring finger to gently tap one pump of the serum onto your entire eye area. This includes both your under eyes and lids. Do this on a daily basis and you’re about to see some serious results.

Between ingredients, shopper reviews and trials, we predict Korres’ Black Pine 3D Eye-Lift Super Serum is soon to become a game-changer in your beauty routine. Firm, lifted, tight, smooth eyes are headed your way, stat.

“Me write an article about orgasms? You must be kidding,” you might have heard me exclaim incredulously some years ago, “No, not me! I’m not an expert and I don’t have the nerve!”

But things change as you grow older. In the past year, I have written an article not only about orgasms, but also one on the vulva and another on the bowels. On none of them am I an expert, but I realised I had relevant things to say.

And on none of them do I feel any embarrassment at having done so.

I have said it many times and I will say it again. I like being old. I like it so much that I even wrote a book about it.

There are many things I like about this life stage, but there is one jewel in the crown. For those of us who weren’t clever enough to discover it earlier – it is the wonderful sense of freedom from all the unspoken rules by which we otherwise lived.

I don’t know why it takes until you are in your later years to come to this conclusion, but I note that it does.

Many people say so. Especially women.

Growing Old Gracefully or Disgracefully

The common cliché is that we want to grow old disgracefully. Well, yes and no. A few people actually do – they take to drink or drugs or rock and roll.

But most of us simply make little changes to the way we lead our lives that give us pleasure or reduce the pain. We feel freer. We do what we want.

What a relief!

These changes are not disgraceful, at least to my mind, in any meaningful sense. They just mean we express ourselves more truthfully. Some friends or acquaintances may be embarrassed, but in most cases, they wouldn’t even notice.

Let me give a few examples.

Social Life

The social rules by which we tend to live are not stated anywhere at all, but we tend to follow them almost as if they were.

You may have always felt uncomfortable at parties, but nonetheless, when your good friend invited you to her party, you went. Not only that, you may have bought a special dress, perhaps even shoes, that you didn’t really want.

And you turned up at the allotted time with a smile. Even worse, you stayed until it was a suitable time to leave.

Older people increasingly say, “The heck with that!” My friend will perfectly well understand that I don’t like parties and, while she may miss my presence, she will accept that I am uncomfortable there.

Your partner may go or not, as he (or she) wishes. You stay home with a glass of wine and a good book. You are free.

Or perhaps you never liked the same sort of movies as your spouse but went along to be sociable – and vice versa. As you grow older, you are more likely to say you will go to what movie you like by yourself, and he/she can choose his own.

What does it matter if you don’t go as a pair? You both get what you like and go when you want. You are free.

Clothes and Make-Up

The same is true for how we present ourselves. People want to look ‘smart’ or ‘casual’ or whatever the occasion calls for.

Some go to a lot of trouble. I am told that mothers even think about what to wear at the school gates, although I must admit the thought never crossed my mind.

Now is the time to do what you like. Buy that supposedly unsuitable leather jacket. Or take to wearing a hat if you always wanted to. Or short skirts.

It’s completely up to you.

Personally, I belong to the blue jeans and tee-shirt brigade. I haven’t touched a lipstick in 50 or so years. If anything, I have probably grown more shabby.

That’s me – it doesn’t have to be you.

Talking to Strangers

Many of us are told from day one not to talk to anyone we don’t know and, although important advice for small children, it remains the social norm in many places.

I am a sociable sort wherever I am – and I increasingly talk to complete strangers – at the bus stop, in the supermarket queue or even in the street. Unfortunately, much less during the Covid period, if only because it was hard to make personal contact through two masks.

I even used to sell the occasional book to complete strangers in the street, to the utter embarrassment of my family. But what does it matter? No one had to buy.

Freedom – A State of Mind

None of these particular examples are of any great importance in themselves, but they are indicators of a broader state of mind.

At some point, we older people feel a sense of liberty to say what we think and do what we wish. Some younger people do, too, but the tendency grows with age.

Often, our decisions are perfectly normal within anyone’s set of unwritten rules, but sometimes they are not.

This freedom is nothing dramatic. We have not been let out of jail or suddenly found ourselves with enough to eat when we lacked it before.

But small unspoken changes are nonetheless important to us.

They offer a wonderful new lease on life.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Have you found your freedom in your 60s? Do you find yourself making decisions you would never have done before? Do you say what you think more often than before? If so, how does it feel to you?
