Haircut Tips For Women Over 50




Do you look as old as you feel? Ageing is a part of life, instead of rebelling against nature; embrace this time, remember life is short. There are however many ways in which you can change or alter your appearance gracefully, but let's have a look at how you can achieve the perfect hairstyle to defy your age.

The first thing most women over fifty tend to do is chop off their hair and color it a darker shade to cover the gray, but should you do the same? The smart money says - No, you can have long medium or short hair, because a fifty year old woman can look just as good as a twenty year old with the same hairstyle. Natural looking highlights can alter your look drastically, lightening and lifting your face.

The most important aspect of a new style revolves around taking your facial shape into consideration and determining what features you want to accentuate or hide away. Hair becomes dry and limp so be sure to deep moisturize your hair regularly, making it shiny and full of life.

If you have fine lines and wrinkles, soften them by adding layers around the face. It is strongly recommended to add layers if you have long hair, it will lift your face. Layers will add body and volume to your hair. Expression lines on the forehead can easily be covered up by adding bangs, try side swept bangs as they will add softness and generate a chic edge to your hairstyle. Remember bangs can be added regardless of the length of your hair.

Perhaps you want to hide your neck area and have longer cut layers which will divert attention. You don't need to hide everything though, if you have beautiful eyes, accentuate them with bangs skimming the brow area. Some soft layers may highlight lovely cheekbones. If you want to show off your neckline have a shorter bob haircut.

Often people advise you to have a picture of a hairstyle you like. Remember to focus on the haircut rather than on the person sporting it. Technology can also be very helpful, some of the latest software programs online allow you to upload a current photo of yourself and try out numerous different hairstyles.

If you haven't changed your hairstyle in the last few years - now is the time; outdated styles definitely give away your age. Stay current; be daring and young at heart. Remember you are as old as you feel.
