As a woman ages, the hair becomes naturally thinner, thicker, and more likely to lose its color. The right style can compliment these changes and add beauty to facial features while expressing individual personality. Whether in sophisticated short cuts, gentle waves, or layering, there are numerous flattering styles that are both practical and ageless. A wonderful style doesn't just frame the face—it gives a boost of confidence at any age.
1. Romantic Loose Hair with Wispy Bangs
Effortlessly feminine, this look has soft, flowing lengths with gentle bends or loose curls for a dreamy, romantic look. The wispy bangs provide a delicate touch, softening the forehead and bringing out the eyes.
2. Side-Parted Natural Soft Waves
A dramatic side part takes this look up a notch, giving a flattering asymmetry to suit mature faces. Natural, undone waves deliver volume and movement, a laid-back yet chic feel.
3. Casual Hollywood Waves
Summoning Old Hollywood glamour with a modern spin, these soft, flowing waves are brushed out for a more laid-back, wearable take on the classic look. The waves begin at mid-length, contouring the face with a light, face-lifting touch.
4. Straight Middle-Parted Bob
Sharp, clean, and unmistakably chic, the middle-parted straight bob is the minimalist's ideal. The precision-cut edges hit jawline or collarbone length, forming a streamlined, geometric silhouette.
5. Loose Bun with Curtain Bangs
Sleek chic intersects with soft romance. A low bun with a messy-but-chic texture coupled with face-framing curtain bangs is a style that's both sophisticated and easy. The bangs softly sweep across the sides, lifting the eyes and cheekbones, and the loose bun brings a sense of undone chic.
6. Side-Parted Beach Waves
Relaxed glamour with volume. The look has relaxed, tousled waves brushed over to one side and a deep side parting for asymmetry. The textured, lived-in finish gives added fullness to fine hair, while the side parting makes the face look longer for a slight lift.
7. Straightened Lob
Slender, sleek, and immensely polished. A neat, straightened lob with blunt or marginally layered ends portrays confidence and class. The side part keeps it trendy, and the lustrous, shiny finish creates a strong statement.
8. Curly Lob
Bouncy, full, and alive. A lob cut with natural or curly waves introduces dynamic movement and a youthful feel. Defined ringlets or waves left slightly looser look fabulous, particularly with layers to cut bulk.
9. Loose Waves
Classic, feminine, and flattering on every face. These undone, relaxed waves give volume and texture to longer hair. Whether air-dried or achieved with a large-barrel curling iron, the effect is loose, romantic elegance.
10. Wavy Bob
The shoulder-grazing style has loose, relaxed waves that add natural volume and bounce to the hair. The cut tends to feature delicate layers that create a polished look while amplifying the wave pattern.
11. Wolf Cut with Wispy Bangs
This edgy, layered cut marries the shag's rock-n-roll heritage with a softer, more age-friendly solution. The wolf cut has dramatic face-framing layers at the crown and long pieces that lie below, creating amazing volume in the roots. Combined with wispy, transparent bangs, it provides a great mix of edge and softness.
12. Choppy Bob with Choppy Bangs
This edgy cut has choppy, textured ends all over and corresponding piece-y bangs for a coordinated, style-driven look. The zigzag layers create immediate volume and depth, and the messy bangs bring the eyes to the forefront.
13. Brushed Out Simple Bixie
This easy-care version of the bixie has somewhat grown-out layers that produce natural movement when brushed forward. The lived-in look provides a relaxed chic look without losing its overall neat shape.
14. Formal Bixie with Wispy Bangs
A cross between a bob and a pixie, this sleeker version has architectural, angular lines at the back of the head with longer face-framing pieces. The wispy bangs provide a softening contrast to the cut-out structure, giving an elegant balance.
15. Romantic Curly Short Bob
This short bob to the chin flaunts bouncy, well-delineated curls that hug the face beautifully. The cut includes layered inner sections to create the best curl formation with a tidy silhouette.
Hairstyles for older women are about embracing beauty, comfort, and individuality. With some creativity and the right stylist, every woman can discover a hairstyle that honors who she is—stylish, strong, and confidently herself.
