Layered bobs are the epitome of an ageless, classy hairstyle with a lot of versatility, especially recommended for women over 50. If you're trying for volume, softer facial features, or want to hang on to the texture of hair, layered bobs can be of different variants for practically any taste. Layering creates a wavy feeling of dynamism and disarray and offers more volume, which feels good with an aged style. Here are 17 examples of stylish layered bob hairstyles for women over 50:
1. Layered Bob with Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs truly add an air of grace while framing the face when complemented by a layered bob. Such a style works against fine lines on and above the forehead and softens lines forming around the eyes, all the while retaining that eminently clean, refined appeal. These are best suited for straight or nearly straight hair textures.
2. Voluminous Layered Bob
A layered bob would be a great haircut if you want a bit of bounce and fullness. Layers are cut to add lift at the roots and fullness through the ends, which is very flattering in women with thin or aging hair.
"Volume is the key to creating youthful energy in a hairstyle," says Jake Monroe, celebrity hair artist.
3. Messy Layered Bob with Bangs
This messy layered bob with bangs is an easy character for a more laid-back and modern version. The disheveled layers give the hair plenty of movement, and the bangs lend a dash of youthfulness. Easy to maintain and looking just fine on days one chooses to forego any heat-styling treatments.
4. Blonde Layered Bob
With blonde hues, the face can be uplifted more vibrantly and with youthful zest. When placed opposite a layered bob, the color exaggerates the cut's texture and depth. Icy platinum might be great ice-cold, honey blonde might feel warm in sunny glows, or you can love the charm of soft beige blonde, enchanting chante.
5. Layered A-line Wavy Bob
The A-line bob is shortest in the back and gently flares out longer in the front, and it gains far more life when layered with soft waves. It may render some length to the slender neck and sculpt the jawline, alluring facial features for aging beauties.
6. Layered Bob for Fine Hair
Fine hair sometimes tends to lie flat, but layering gives it volume and structure. A layered bob for fine hair will allow some weight to be taken off at the ends so that lift can be created at the crown. Voice to your stylist for feathered ends so the look remains air-light and doesn't lose shape.
7. Undercut Curly Layered Bob
For the sassy women over 50 who want to express their style, this attitude-infused and sleek cut is yours. The undercut removes bulk from the nape and allows the curls to just bounce around freely. Further layering of the curls adds shape and dimension, perfect for natural or permed hair.
8. Feathered Short Bob and Pixie Hybrid
Short bob and pixie cut combined, so the best of both worlds can be had. It is feathered to keep its appearance soft and airy, along with a short length to keep it fresh and on-trend. It is one of the easiest to style and maintain, providing a great choice for active emcees.
9. Classic Layered Bob with Face-Framing Layers
Timeless and universally flattering, the classic layered bob with face-framing layers works beautifully for women over 50. Layers curve gently around the cheeks and jawline to draw attention to your facial features. This hairstyle is best suited for straight to slightly wavy textures and pairs well with soft highlights.
10. The French Layered Bob
The French bob is chic with its above-shoulder length that implies simplicity. Layering the French bob introduces that feeling of personalized texture. It is mostly considered with fringe or curtain bangs and does great with straight or wavy hair.
11. Layered Bob with Highlights
Subtle highlights work to bring out the texture and depth of the layered bob. Soft caramel, honey, or ash tones provide just enough contrast to brighten the hair without taking away from the natural color. This style gives mature skin tones a little glow of sunshine and the illusion of thick, fuller hair.
12. Short Layered Bob with Side-Swept Bangs
Worth noting is that it is short with a layered bob with bangs that sprays just below the ears or at the pressure point of the jawline. Very flattering for women with minute features or those who prefer easy maintenance. Converted into layers, the side-swept bangs make a smooth transition.
13. Easy and Casual Layered Bob
A very low-maintenance style that gives full play to the natural texture and soft movement. Layers are cut to fall pretty by themselves without much shaping or styling required. Best for women who opt for a casual look with their hair being messy at times; of course, the look is good with both thick and fine hair types.
14. Angled Layered Bob
Bringing in modern sophistication, the angled layered bob has sharper face framing. The longer front pieces help frame the face, while the back is neatly tapered for structure. This bob haircut suits almost every face shape and is best styled with straightened or smooth hair.
15. Honey Blonde Layered Bob
Layered bobs with blonde honey highlights are a popular pick with women aged over 50, as the warm honey blonde highlights add vibrancy and glow. These highlights are ideal for the graceful skin tones and look great with soft waves, enhancing the texture and making the hair appear youthful.
16. Ear-Length Layered Bob
The ear-length layered bob is bold and chic, best for ladies who wish for some texture with short hair. This hairstyle is best for fine or thinning hair. The leaning bob keeps the cut stylish and fresh, while the layers add dimension and soften the blunt look.

17. Curly Layered Bob
This curly layered bob maximizes everything about the hair curls, uplifting volume inside the layers so that the hair never becomes too heavy or too flat. This style is generally a boon if you have naturally thick or curly hair because it gives an uplift and youthful oomph while also being easy to maintain.
"Curly hair needs strategic layering to avoid bulk and frizz,” explains Jamila Edwards, curl specialist at Urban Texture Salon.
