General rules for choosing a women's haircut after 50 years

First of all, mature ladies should abandon the pursuit of newfangled trends and shocking hairstyles. Leave complex hair constructions, an abundance of fixative, coloring in the colors of "sea wave" and fleece to the youth. With the now popular carelessness on the head, you should also be careful. After 40-50, this approach to styling looks sloppy, often associated with neglect.

The main ingredients for a successful haircut are maintaining texture and volume with minimal styling.

There are several aspects to consider when choosing a haircut:

• Pay attention not only to your age and current trends. A haircut should take into account the shape and features of the face, as well as the physique. The structure and condition of the hair itself is of great importance. But with the latter, unfortunately, everything is individual and if you don't have your own ideas, you will need to consult a stylist / hairdresser.
• When experimenting, don't avoid bangs. Some consider it bad manners, but this hairstyle detail slims and rejuvenates the face. True, it also gets dirty quickly. But it's worth it.
• Do not allow hair regrowth, otherwise the whole essence of the haircut will disappear. Depending on the growth rate, the hairdresser should be visited every 3–6 weeks.

After 50 years, a woman should abandon "licked" and obviously youthful hairstyles, braids are not a very good option

Anti-aging haircuts for women 50+

For women with an oval face, any haircut is suitable. But if we talk about other types of face, then there are important points that you should pay attention to:

• Round - oddly enough, such ladies, even after 50, have long hair. Whether it is an elongated bob, bob, Aurora or a cascade. But by no means a straight bang, it will make the face shorter and wider.
• Rectangular and square - another of this shape is asymmetry, a lush crown and medium strands of different lengths.
• Diamond-shaped - trapezoidal hairstyles are contraindicated. The shape is adjusted by volume at the top of the head, which is achieved through multi-stage and textured haircuts.

The choice of haircut is individual at any age

A haircut for overweight ladies, in turn, should visually stretch the face. Most often this is done by adding volume at the top of the head and masking the cheeks, that is, too short haircuts are unlikely to work here. As well as styling with a "ball", too even lines or smooth strands. Instead, look for a moderately random hairstyle.

Short haircuts

Short hair has its advantages. The consumption of cosmetics and their care is minimal, but it looks interesting. And if the haircut is chosen well, then it is also young. Here's just the idea that short hairstyles do not require styling at all - a myth. Although for most, just a hair dryer and a round comb are enough.

Garson and pixie

Garson, in the common people called a boyish "hedgehog", will suit strong-willed, tall and slender ladies. This haircut can do without any styling and styling products, but is not at all friendly with thin or thin hair. Yes, and on short women with a round or square face, it will look completely unprofitable.

At home, to style the garcon and pixie you will need brushing, a hair dryer and a fixative - gel or wax

A more feminine and versatile option is the pixie. It also implies randomness, but that is created with the help of volume and long strands. As a result, the image is sparkling and airy, and facial imperfections are corrected by asymmetry.

Sesson

Sesson is a rather unusual and bold haircut. Its distinctive feature is its even shape, in which the bangs are a continuation of the hair line. What is noteworthy is that you rarely meet this on the street, but it is not suitable for everyone. Nevertheless, women with an elongated or triangular face shape in such a "company" almost always look great. Particularly interesting results can be achieved by experimenting with the contour of the hairstyle.

A properly done sesson haircut keeps its shape in any weather and needs almost no styling

Aurora

Aurora's haircut is somewhat reminiscent of a multilayer bob with bangs and a torn effect, but at the same time it is characterized by a voluminous crown and thinner (long) strands at the neck. It is also difficult to find 2 identical "Auroras" - the final type of hairstyle depends on the experience of the master, as well as the personality of the woman's face and hair. After age 50, short variations are generally recommended.

If the hair is stiff enough, then permanent styling may not be necessary for the Aurora haircut, but in other cases it is advisable to purchase a round comb - brushing

Short bob

If a pixie seems like a bold decision, then the transition to a short haircut should start with a "torn" bob. He is not so picky about the shape of the head and looks normal even on fine hair. In addition, depending on their own preferences, they can be close to the garcon or, on the contrary, cover their ears.

With the help of a bob, you can add texture to the hair, as well as compensate for the lack of volume

Medium length haircuts

Haircuts of medium length are no worse than short ones. After all, they can also help to throw off a couple of years and are easy to care for. It is also noteworthy that such hairstyles do not require radical measures to change their appearance.

Square

The salvation of ladies over 50 years old who do not want to have a haircut "like a boy" can be a square. Under this word hides many different haircuts, both with and without styling. A prerequisite is the length - above the shoulders, but below the ear - otherwise the type of hairstyle is decided by individuality and fantasy. With thick hair and an oval face, you can afford a traditional square with or without bangs. In other cases - combine a haircut with a cascade and pointed strands.

If you are not the owner of an elongated face, then the square should be with bangs, also more "torn" and voluminous

Bean

On medium-length hair, the bob looks no less elegant than on short hair. “On the leg” it is usually not done in this design (the only exception is thick head of hair, but after 50 it is rare), but behind the hair is traditionally shorter than on the face and still allows you to smooth out wrinkles.

Bob haircut variations - a huge variety, which, moreover, expands due to various methods of coloring and styling

Should ladies over 50 wear long hair?

Hair length is a personal matter for everyone at any age. But closer to 50 years old, you should rationally reconsider your attitude to the possibility of changing your image. If the hair has become thinner and drier, splits or breaks off, then the "braid to the waist" will not look as beautiful as in youth. In addition, you will have to take care of her almost 2-3 times more actively. It is not necessary to completely abandon the length, but haircuts near shoulder level are considered optimal:

• extended options:

  • square;
  • bean;

• asymmetry:

  • ladder;
  • cascade, "fox tail";
  • multilevel (combined).

Most often, long hair looks good on women who do not initially need to rejuvenate themselves with a hairstyle.

What shades of hair to choose after 50 years

Sometimes gray hair looks noble, without interfering with appearance and perception of oneself. Nevertheless, most people prefer to paint over it. Someone changes the image, others emphasize or support the old image … but in our hearts we all want to look younger. And after 50, when choosing a hair color, it is advisable to focus on visually rejuvenating ones:

• The first thing to do is to give up overly saturated and contrasting tones. The widespread belief that black, purple or poisonous red is young is guile. Such shades will refresh women with dark skin and without pronounced wrinkles, as well as owners of red (dark) hair by nature. In other cases, they often only highlight flaws.

  

  Oddly enough, copper and black are not universal hair shades after 50 years.

• The best option is to paint over gray hair with a shade close to natural. The color can either be the same or be lighter / darker by 1-3 tones.

  

  Hair coloring in their native color and gray hair will hide, and it will look as natural as possible

• On gray hair, blond looks good, both cold and warm honey shades. True, you should be careful with the first one - for some it will emphasize the dull skin color. Well, the second should not merge with the face.

  

  A well-chosen shade of blond will soften facial features and visually smooth out wrinkles

• Of other shades, preference is given to chocolate, chestnut and cognac palettes. But remember that too dark can accentuate an earthy complexion or fine lines.

  

  Brown has many different variations, the best way not to be mistaken is to consider your color type when choosing a paint

• You can make highlights or coloring. More fashionable variations such as two-tone dyeing, shatush, imitation of burnt hair, ombre or balayazh are not forbidden. But it will be better if a stylist or hairdresser picks up the staining technique for you.

  

  A great way to look younger is to give the strands texture and volume by partially lightening the strands

Still, do not forget that all recommendations on how best to get a haircut after 50 years are general. Still, a haircut is an individual matter. And so that she probably approached the inner mood and appearance, she should be chosen with a focus not so much on advice as on her own characteristics.
