Hairstyles for Women Over 50 to gain on Style and Save up on Maintenance
Some ladies still think that their age is what dictates their style. We say that as long as you feel gorgeous and confident with the look, you sport – age remains a plain number. It is true that in order to come up with a personal style, there is a list of factors to consider, and your hairstyle is one of the vitals.
When browsing through hairstyles for women over 50 presented by LoveHairstyles, we figured that short cuts are among the prevailing ones. There is nothing strange about that since the shorter the hair – the easier it is to look after. However, what we are going to try to prove is that the range of short cuts for older ladies is almost unlimited, and there are true style gems to be aware of!
Choppy Pixie
We are going to start with the shortest cuts on the list and then gradually move to longer hairstyles that still fit in the category of short haircuts. Surely, when you think about a pixie in its classy meaning, you may imagine the ultra-short cut that suits neither your face shape, not your style in general. Well, let us tell you something – times have changed, and so has the pixie universe. These days there are super-short styles, mid-pixies, and even longer variations to experiment with. Due to the variety of cutting techniques as well as dyeing trends, a skilled master will certainly find the one that will enhance all your best features and will complement the style so that you stand out from the crowd in a way that is comfortable for you.
Elegant and Classy Bob
If there is anything classier than a bob – we know nothing about it. However, modern hair fashion hasn’t passed by the bob world. There are countless options to choose from and experiment with. If you want to keep your hair a little longer, then a well-chosen bob is what you should consider. It is true that most bobs are quite universal, and they can be easily fitted to any hair type. Besides, in their majority, they are utterly versatile and pretty simple to manage.
Another variation of classy bob is a curly one. It is a lot like the universal notion of the bob as we know it, but the curls are always interpreted in a slightly different way than a mere straight cut. Those of you longing for a romantic and feminine look should definitely pay attention to the variation. It may be a little more time-consuming when it comes to styling, but the end result will always be worth it.
The Lob
The longest option on our short haircuts list is undoubtedly the lob. In case you wonder what the name stands for – it is the shortening for a long bob. The truth is that lobs are incredibly versatile, and they belong to the category of cuts that offer you a seamless transition from short to long cuts while staying in the middle. It needs to be added that usually cuts like that require some more time and effort when it comes to daily maintenance, but the variety of styles to experiment with is merely captivating.
Chestnut Pixie Bob with Wispy Layers
Ladies with thicker hair find it a bit challenging to dedicate to a shorter cut since they are afraid of it affecting the appearance, not in the best way. A wispy pixie like that can certainly remove the unnecessary weight while keeping the volume in perfect balance. If you are a little more conservative than the rest, such a pixie bob should help you find the compromise between the strict dress code and modern trend.Â
Mid-Pixie with Platinum Blonde BalayageÂ
Keeping up with the trends means experimentation. You do not need to opt for neon colors and a buzz cut to show off your perfect taste and innovative approach. All you need is a well-cut medium pixie with a stylish balayage to it. Layering, as well as the undercut, will reduce the maintenance time significantly too. Active women will certainly appreciate the bonus.
Copper Stacked Pixie for Vibrant Look
Looking vibrant does not require pastels and neons when you can play around with such a wonderful copper hue. Stacked back and light layering will open the vast horizon for quick styling while altogether, the look will remain bright and feminine.Â

This is good to know since I am not getting any younger. I would love to try the Choppy Pixie. Reminds me of Miranda from Sex in the City.
I tried the choppie pixie once before but I have always had my hair long after that. It was easy to manage, though.
I need to change up my hairstyle. It’s been the same for years and it really doesn’t suit me anymore.
I don’t have the confidence to cut my hair too short, so my hair is at least shoulder length. But my sister always cuts her hair short, I would recommend this post to her.
I’m inching closer to 50. I have really long hair and not sure if I’ll keep it that way when I’m older or not. I tend to pull it back because I don’t like it in my face.
I love all the hair styles, which I will keep in mind, I love the simple styles that go along with my long hair that is what I do prefer. Thaks for sharing
The Elegant and Classy Bob is nice because you can still have longish hair and look nice!
i have been keeping my hair short for a few years now for easy maintenance and styling (none required almost!) .
These are really cute cuts and would look great on women during all walks of life I think. Personally, I like shorter styles so I’m inclined to agree with those suggestions!
Those are some great hairstyles to keep in mind and being fashionable doesn’t have to stop over 50.
I am all for low maintenance when it comes to hair! I’m in my mid-40s, and I have a lot of hair: it’s thick, wavy, dry, and frizzy. Usually, if I cut it short or in layers, my hair gets big and curly. If I have a bob, it looks like a triangle because I have such thick hair. The only thing that works for me now is length because it weighs my hair down, so it doesn’t look so thick and frizzy.
It is nice to mix things up and consider different styles in our 50’s. I like these stylish looks! So many great options.

It’s refreshing to see that age doesn’t limit style choices, and there are so many chic options to consider. From the chic Choppy Pixie to the timeless Bob variations, each style exudes elegance and confidence.
So many cute short hair styles but I prefer shoulder length. I am over 50 but don’t agree with having to have short hair.
I love all of these hairstyles. I’m all for these shorter haircuts. I love them.
These are some cute looks. I wish I looked nice with short hair but alas, it puffs out way too much so I keep it long.
These sound like some lovely hairstyles for ages 50 and over. I do love that they are low maintenance as we all want styles that need little work.
