Short hairstyle for a woman of 50

Peculiarities

Having crossed the 50-year-old milestone, many representatives of the fair sex note that their neat hairstyle no longer emphasizes the merits and does not at all mask the flaws in their appearance. Moreover, the hairstyle seems to flaunt all the flaws, drawing attention to what was previously almost imperceptible - wrinkles, a floating contour, puffiness.

If 15–20 years ago, careless curls gave a special charm and zest, now they are beginning to indicate age, which is why many decide to radically change their image.

There is an opinion that women of mature age are rejuvenated by ultra-short haircuts - this is not entirely true, such hairstyles do not suit everyone. But in any case, hairstyles, when the hair length does not exceed 15–20 cm, visually make a woman look younger and fresher.

Today there are many rather interesting haircut options, so every woman can choose one that will represent her in the most favorable light.

Before dwelling in more detail on the features of the selection of haircuts for ladies of elegant age, it is worth figuring out where the most insidious traps are hiding, because of which hairstyles for ladies who celebrated a half-century anniversary can not only add several unnecessary years to their owner, but also make it ridiculous and rather funny.

Let's dwell on popular but erroneous stereotypes.

• There is never too much lush. It is with this slogan that many of the fairer sex go to the hairdresser, where they ask the master to create real "Babylon" on their heads with fleece, curls and varnish. This looks at least ridiculous - much more appropriate short haircuts that suggest a length that is selected taking into account the natural volume.
• Hat. It so happened that the ladies who have celebrated their 50th birthday choose the same haircut option: the cap on the top of the head goes into carefully profiled strands in the neck area, and all this is complemented by bangs. This is such a "boring" image that any owner of such a "work" on the head is automatically entered into the oldest age category. Try to stay on new, more unexpected, but exceptionally elegant styles.
• You can also paint at home. This is what many women believe, but this is not so - at home you can only make a high-quality one-color staining and only if you paint from blonde in darker tones, when preliminary lightening is not needed. A youthful look requires soft play on the head, sun glare, and natural clean tones. Such results can only be obtained in a beauty salon.

• It is known that after 40 years, a woman's hair loses its pigmentation and the problem of gray hair appears, so the correct haircut must be accompanied by the correct hair color.
• Even if a woman has always preferred naturalness, she should reconsider her position and let a professional master refresh the shade of her shock. Several rules apply here.
• Ladies of the older age category should not dye their hair in red and red shades, as they emphasize a faded and uneven complexion.
• Coloring in light colors will be a universal solution - blond has the property of softening harsh facial features and emphasizing the depth of the eyes. It is best to give preference to wheat, amber and caramel tones, and such cold shades as platinum or pearl should be avoided whenever possible - they immediately make a woman several years older.

Coloring in dark tones is permissible, but only if the palette of chestnut color is meant.

Leave black and mocha in all their variations to the girls - they bring to the fore such "charms" as a fuzzy contour, earthiness of the skin, as well as wrinkles near the eyes.

Rules for choosing haircuts after 50-55

When choosing a haircut, a woman should pay attention to the following factors:

• it is better to opt for an average hair length, since long hair at this age is not always distinguished by its former beauty and health. If the client is a happy owner of strong and thick hair, you can try to discuss with the master the option of a "ladder" haircut - keeping the length, but shortening individual strands
• do not be afraid of bangs! Contrary to prejudices, neat, elegant bangs are suitable for both young girls and clients of Balzac age
• you should not choose a haircut that requires constant styling with the help of specialized products - firstly, the hairstyle looks unnecessarily overloaded, and secondly, the use of mousses, gels and varnishes on an ongoing basis is fraught with hair health problems and even the appearance of an allergic reaction
• selection of paint of a suitable color (it is better to do this together with a hairdresser) - a prerequisite for a high-quality haircut
• haircut care is carried out on an ongoing basis (and not limited to a one-time trip to the salon). It is advisable to use professional hair masks and ampoules, regularly apply nourishing oils and moisturizing sprays to them. This will help maintain the health and attractiveness of the hair, and hence the image of "youth and freshness."

Important! The above tips represent the basics without which a sophisticated haircut is impossible. Without following them, the haircut will quickly cease to please the hostess, no matter how fashionable it may seem at first.

Kinds

Let's dwell on haircuts that have a pronounced anti-aging effect for older ladies.

"Bean"

This spectacular hairstyle was invented by the world famous stylist Vidal Sassoon several decades ago, but to this day it does not lose its relevance, although it has acquired several interesting modifications. "Bob" is considered a universal hairstyle that suits absolutely any woman, regardless of the features of her appearance and the structure of the strands.

This style not only makes a woman's appearance flawless, but also gives her freshness and youthfulness.

"Pixie"

The ultra short pixie cut is one of the most popular haircuts for mature women, making them look more modern, strong and slightly extravagant. The hairstyle shows the activity, optimism and overflowing energy of the lady.

Most effectively this hairstyle is complemented by a sideways bangs laid to the side - this option is considered ideal.

In this case, the emphasis is transferred to the eyes, and all the imprints of time left on the forehead are successfully masked. There are many advantages to such a hairstyle, therefore, it is she who is preferred by many representatives of the fair sex after fifty years.

However, keep in mind that "pixie" is not suitable for overweight ladies and owners of small curls.

"Garson"

The people call this haircut "under the boy". Until the middle of the last century, it was made exclusively by young men, but later the ladies appropriated it for themselves. This hairstyle is suitable for bold and decisive ladies who are alien to the idea of ​​sitting at home and worrying about the years they have lived all day.

Such women simply do not have time to be discouraged, as they live in a frantic rhythm, charging those around them with their energy and activity.

The undoubted advantage of hairstyles lies in the ease of styling at home, which allows women to devote more time to personal affairs and all kinds of care procedures.

"Kare"

A classic that suits the fair sex at any age, making them more attractive. Even after 50 years, you can always pick up the most advantageous variant of the "square".

Most often, they use models with bangs that hide wrinkles on the forehead, as well as with strands extended to the middle of the neck - they skillfully mask flews and a double chin.

But it is better to avoid sharp geometric lines, as well as bright shades in coloring - such decisions should be left to young ladies.

"Page"

Stylish haircut in retro style, which perfectly hides wrinkles and pigmentation, which after fifty years is no longer so easy to remove with decorative cosmetics.

"Cascade"

This haircut is often called by the people "ladder" - it is a very effective technique that makes thinning strands more lush and voluminous. With such a haircut, even the most naughty curls can be easily styled, allowing you to remain elegant and refined in any situation.

Regardless of which haircut option you prefer, be especially attentive to the design of the bangs.

Some believe that it is suitable only for young girls, but this is far from the case - with the help of a bang, you can easily hide many age-related changes, but you do not need to make it straight and thick - give preference to oblique or combed to the side options.

Ladder

A hairstyle similar to a cascade, but with differences and its fans. The ladder frames the face softer, there are no such strongly pronounced abrupt transitions in it; this haircut is more versatile - it will stretch a round face, and a square one will smooth out the flowing locks with smooth lines. The ladder is good for any hair type. She is unpretentious in styling and undemanding in hair color.

Interesting combinations are obtained by combining light and dark shades of the "ombre" type.

"Torn" haircut

This rejuvenating haircut is a permanent hit for brave and active women in their 50s who are not afraid to try on all the latest fashion trends. To create it, a razor is used, due to which the necessary volumetric "layering" is obtained, looking so daring and at the same time incredibly stylish.

The hairstyle is suitable for clients with a rectangular and elongated face type.

Since such a haircut is recommended for women for whom experiments are not alien, there are also no restrictions in the color palette - both mono-shades and advantageously shaded individual strands are boldly used. "Torn" hairstyle is demanding to care for; it must be styled daily with special styling products.

Asymmetry

A special hit of the season for women 50 years old is a multi-level rejuvenating haircut that combines a bob or bob (top) and flowing strands (can be done in the form of a ladder or cascade). Such a hairstyle gives the necessary volume to thin straight hair, but women with wavy hair should refuse such a haircut, since the chic of mirror-smooth asymmetry risks fading away.

It is also important to remember that, despite the versatility, clients with a square face should be careful with asymmetric haircuts - in this case, asymmetry is performed only on one side.

The color palette can be any (in the absence of gray hair, it is possible to create a haircut with the client's natural hair color), but the care of such a hairstyle must be careful - at home a woman will have to acquire at least a hairdryer and several types of combs for styling.

Long hair plus bangs

Do not think that bangs are a haircut element suitable exclusively for young girls. It can be acceptable for women over 50, especially when combined with long hair; The bangs correctly selected for the type of face can rejuvenate the client for several years.For women with an elongated face, it is better to choose straight bangs.

Owners of a square or triangular face can be recommended an oblique or graduated version.

For clients who want to hide unnecessarily puffy outlines, you can make a straight bang, coupled with a ladder haircut - in this case, the forehead will be hidden, and the cheeks will visually narrow the strands falling on the sides. Haircuts with bangs look equally attractive on both dark and light hair.

In addition, such a hairstyle is unpretentious in care - for example, if there is no time for a full-fledged hair wash, it will be enough for a woman to wash her bangs, collecting the rest of the length in a braid. In this case, a fresh look is guaranteed.

Sessun

Severe geometric retro haircut that has found fans around the world. It is universal (it is not recommended except for women with a round face type), undemanding to colors (the haircut is unusual, and therefore it attracts attention on its own and does not require accents) and easy to clean.

Sessun keeps shape in any situation and in all weather conditions; and it doesn't even need to be stacked!

The hairstyle looks equally good on different hair lengths. In recent years, several variations have appeared - with less thick bangs, with asymmetric strands, and so on - so that any woman will find a type to her liking.

Debut

This original and popular haircut looks equally good on any hair length. Thanks to the many levels and layers of hair, it is good both with styling and without it - strands chaotically framing the face give the image a playfulness and charm. This hairstyle conceals overly full or angular features. Made in a dark color, it can further narrow a wide face.

The haircut can be done with bangs. It looks interesting on medium-length hair.

Layered haircut

To achieve the ideal length, your longest strands should touch your shoulders, and the top layers should be tapering off gradually. Aside from making a layered haircut look great, the hairdo is also pretty easy to maintain.

The 2021 layered haircut with soft highlights is a perfect example of how you can look chic with medium hair when you're in your 50s.

Overlapping layers create a beautiful wavy effect. Not to mention, this haircut is easy to style, so you won't be spending a lot of precious time in front of the mirror.

Who said hairstyles over 50 should be boring and unwieldy? Light and airy multi-layered strands will give youth and make your face ten years younger. Thin bangs strategically placed can mask areas you don't want to accentuate.

Gavroche

Styling is ideal for women who do not want to part with long curls. The hairstyle is distinguished by short ragged strands on the sides, a “tail” of curls at the back. A similar hairstyle can be afforded by courageous, confident women.

Holiday options

Any celebration is a reason to renew your hairstyle, to make a new styling. There are several basic options:

• High texture bundle ideal for medium length hair. It is easy to build it yourself or to resort to the help of a specialist.
• Texture styling "Feathers" is suitable for short haircuts, eg pixie, bob. Apply a little fixing gel, mousse to damp hair, texture with your fingers, blow dry.
• Low beam. The hairstyle will look more spectacular with a fleece on the top of the head.

• Graceful bun. The best hairstyle for medium and long hair would be a bun with elements of deliberate negligence: not tight braiding, stray strands, and so on. Artificial flowers, small hairpins with pearls, discreet hairpins will add even more chic to the styling. The hairstyle is easy to do at home and does not require additional help.

• Waves. A timeless classic, equally attractive on any hair length.Gives the wearer a touch of retro chic and undeniable elegance. You can create Hollywood curls at home using a curling iron and curlers. This styling looks better on the "reference" light hair color; even the presence of noble gray hair is permissible.

• Light tail. Women over 50 are better off avoiding styling that reveals the face - this also applies to strict "ponytails" combed hair to hair and tightly pulled at the back of the head. It is better in this case to pin the tail at the neck and release a couple of curled strands at the temples - this way the image will be playful and informal.

How to choose?

With age, choosing a haircut is more and more difficult, because the hairstyle is entrusted not only with the task of making the look more attractive, but also rejuvenating, throwing off several years. That is why you should take into account the following tips from stylists.

Prefer short strands and medium length haircuts. As a rule, the hair of women at an older age no longer differs in strength and health, most often they look faded and in most cases they become sparse.

There is no need to choose a hairstyle that requires frequent and laborious styling with styling products. Firstly, such hair will look overloaded and unnatural, and secondly, the frequent use of all kinds of mousses and foams can cause health problems and an allergic reaction.

Don't forget to tweak your hairstyle. This youth suffers a slight mess, and when you are over 50, the image should be flawless.

Make it a rule to visit your hairdresser once a month. Also, nourish hair masks, serums and moisturizing sprays on a weekly basis. Keep in mind that the healthier the hair looks, the fresher a woman’s overall look is.

Mature age is incompatible with pretentiousness. Women of this group should no longer try to attract the attention of others by hook or by crook, naturalness, simplicity and clarity of lines are important for them.

When choosing a haircut, the shape of the face should be taken into account: the oval should be modeled by the hairstyle, and not worsened. For example, a round face will visually become longer if you make an asymmetrical bangs laid to one side, and if you leave it thick, straight and short, the effect will be just the opposite.

For square faces, haircuts are suitable in which the length of the front strands is a couple of centimeters below the level of the chin - ultra-short options will only emphasize the severity of the lower part of the face.

When choosing a haircut, adult women should take into account the features of the figure, since a harmonious image can be achieved only if all the details of the appearance are combined with each other.

For miniature women who have retained their girlish slenderness, I will do "boyish" hairstyles - they look very stylish, make the image more mischievous and impudent. And also a good choice can be a "square" or an elongated "bob".

Ladies of an asthenic physique should give preference to haircuts to the middle of the neck, preferably of a length that can be styled in waves. Such haircuts smooth out the angularity of the figure, make the look softer and more delicate.

Short haircuts are not recommended for overweight women - they should dwell on long curls that will visually stretch the figure and emphasize femininity and tenderness.

Beautiful examples

The coming of maturity for any woman is a time of quite serious changes. A modern lady in her fifties can look quite attractive, especially if she uses the services of professional cosmetologists.

But no matter how young a woman of this age may be, her appearance should in any case correspond to her age, and in this case, the hairstyle plays a very important role. It is quite easy to make a mistake, as many people feel much younger than they actually are. Mature age sometimes conflicts with youth bow, and a woman looks simply ridiculous and sometimes even funny.

This does not mean at all that the ladies who have stepped over the half-century milestone need to collect gray hair in a bun and pin it on their heads with hairpins - not at all, you just need to take a sober look at yourself and accept the fact that the curls have already lost their former strength, healthy shine and density. There is no need to cherish what has long ceased to decorate you.

Short haircuts are a real panacea for all women of an elegant age.

Style and hair care tips for women over 50

After 50 years, a woman's hair becomes vulnerable to environmental factors.

To maintain their health and density, it is recommended to adhere to the following tips:

• women need to take special vitamin complexes, selected together with the attending physician;
• it is recommended to switch to professional hair care products (masks, serums, shampoos, and so on);
• avoid frequent use of hair dryers and hair styling products;
• do not use strong ammonia paints; trim hair regularly as needed;
• Eating a balanced diet with enough unsaturated fatty acids and B vitamins;
• visit salons for special hair care procedures.

To select an image, stylists advise women to follow the following rules:

• do not chase fashion trends without regard to your own age and image;
• not be afraid to experiment (but only under the strict supervision of a hairdresser).

Do not forget that an important element for the image of a 50-year-old woman is a properly selected rejuvenating haircut - and therefore, her choice should be given attention, which, of course, will not be difficult with the competent and joint work of the client and the hairdresser.

Coloration

What hair color is better for a woman aged:

You should not choose dark colors, especially fiery black or rich chestnut, brown. These colors give age, make the appearance rougher, facial features - "clumsy". At the age of "over 50" it is important to give your appearance more lightness, tenderness and softness. The correct color will allow you to get rid of a dozen years, or even more.

Be careful with red and gold hues. Such tones suit very few, so it is better to dwell on cold tones - they go in much larger cases.

You should not choose extravagant colors and acidic shades - it is better to leave blue, lilac and pink tones to the younger generation.

Choose highlighting - this technique is very refreshing, adds volume to the hair, makes the image more dynamic and energetic.

CHOICE OF SHAPE AND COLOR

Haircuts made on short and medium-length hair are especially relevant, not only do they significantly rejuvenate, moreover, they also do not require constant care. This length allows you to look stylish at home and at a holiday. It would be more logical to turn to a professional who will give competent advice on choosing the shape and color of your hair.

Most often, after 50, a woman has gray hair, which in no way adorns her. The ideal option would be a color scheme close to natural. Still, nature took care of us for a reason.

If a woman is ready to experiment, then red and chocolate shades will emphasize her grace. Highlighting, thanks to highlights, makes the hair more voluminous and lively.

Care

How to properly care for a short haircut, consider:

Aging hair needs the same care as younger hair. However, it is worth adding more healing masks using home and commercial remedies to the usual procedures. The hair should be better nourished and moisturized.

The haircut will look good if you curl the strands a little. This will add playfulness and charm to the image.

• Do not do too small "chemistry". Such curly hair will make the head spherical, which is not suitable for anyone.
• When styling your hair, direct the strands towards your face - this technique will help to hide the excessive fullness of the cheeks and wrinkles, a little faded skin.

As we have seen, there are plenty of options for older women.Therefore, feel free to go to the salon and do a stylish hairstyle that will allow you to gain confidence, become more charming and younger.
