From Dame Helen Mirren’s foray into blue dye to Viola Davis’s style switch-ups, these days, the red carpet serves as the perfect reminder that age is no barrier to having fun with your hairstyle. But when you’re contemplating a change, it’s always best to have plenty of inspiration on hand so your hairstylist can give you exactly what you want.
Below, find some fabulous hair inspiration from stars older than 50. There’s everything from incredibly cool buzzcuts à la Jada Pinkett Smith to silky silk press styles like Regina Hall’s and floaty Catherine Deneuve-inspired blowouts.
What is the most flattering hair length for women over 50?
There is no specific hair length that women over 50 should adhere to–it’s all down to you and your personal style and preferences. Depending on your hair type and density, any and all lengths can be worked with to create your dream hairstyle. However, if you are looking for some foolproof expert advice, “Hair to the collarbone with some soft layers is such a flattering look,” says Andreas Wild, stylist at Larry King of the cut known as the “clavi-cut.” The most important thing is that it works for your lifestyle and makes you feel confident.
How can women over 50 add volume and texture to thinning hair?
Plenty of products are now available to add a little va va voom to thinning hair. Wild suggests adding a volumizing mist throughout the roots to add a little oomph along with a thickening effect.
Another pro tip from Wild is to go for a layered cut to add body and movement. He additionally suggests styling it with a large barrel curling iron and a soft bristle brush. This will keep the overall effect glossy and looking effortlessly “undone.”
Are bangs a good option for mature hair?
Bangs can be a great option for mature hair as they look flattering on a range of hair types, whether thick and blocky like Jane Birkin’s, or wispier like Sabrina Carpenter’s. A style like Carpenter’s looks especially good on those with natural curls, adding more structure and definition around the face and eyes.
