What Are The Best Haircuts For Women In Their 50’s?

As a hairstylist in a pretty diverse suburb of Atlanta, my clientele ranges in ages. I hear from my clients all the time that most salons only share young hairstyles when promoting new trends.

Today I want to focus and share what I think are the best haircuts for women in their 50’s.

First off, before I start, I want to squash some myths about how women over 50 are meant to wear their hair.

Somewhere along the years, someone started a rumor that when you reach a certain age, you should go lighter and shorter with your hair.

Although I believe in experimenting with your personal image, I won’t ever put someone in a box when it comes to their hair.

Do Blondes Have More Fun?

For years, we have all heard that as we age, going blonde will creating a younger-looking version of ourselves. In some cases, this is true, but some women keep dark features as they age.

I might suggest starting with some highlights around your face. A few strokes of honey blonde on top of a medium brown can give you texture and add light to the front of the face.

You can always naturally progress each salon visit by adding more balayage highlights.

Being a blonde can be fun and exciting but don’t go overboard. It’s not a black-or-white situation. some people get carried away and try and get to a white blonde.

Not many skin tones can support a white-blonde color. You would want a very cool skin tone to help balance the look.

Have fun with it but stay inside your range. Don’t be scared of warmer golden colors.

Warm tones can add color to your skin, especially if you have blue eyes. Keep the base color a bit darker to show off your layers for a richer, more dimensional effect.

A safe place to be is between levels 8 and 10 blondes. Adding a toner can change the tone from warm to cool or vice-versa. Toners or glazes can add extra shine to the hair as well.

Need a change in your hair color? Perhaps try lightening it with some foil highlights. Schedule an online appointment to visit the salon and see your options.
