As we enter a new stage of life after 50, defining personal style is even more empowering. Bangs are one of the simplest ways to update your look. Not only do they soften facial contours but also define the face stunningly, giving your hairstyle a young and fashionable touch. From classic bobs to the latest shags, bangs for older women over 50 are available in different styles for different face shapes and hair types. If you're planning to experiment with a new haircut this year, take a look at these 17 chic bangs hairstyles specially crafted for women above 50:
1. Blonde Chin-Length Bob with Bangs
This classic look has a chin-length bob cut in an enhancing blonde color with wispy, straight bangs. It provides your face with a sophisticated outline and a frame for your cheekbones. The soft blonde color imparts lightness, which is a perfect option for women who wish to reduce evidence of aging.
2. Shaggy Feathered Layers with Bangs
With this cut, movement, and texture are the focus. Volume is provided by the feathered layers, and the fringe is incorporated seamlessly to give a casual yet chic look. It does magic for women with thin or fine hair.
"Shaggy feathered layers are great for creating body and depth, particularly when combined with soft bangs," says Dina Vasquez, hair expert and educator for Classic Cuts Studio.
3. Crop Pixie with Fringes
The cropped pixie is a daring, easy-to-maintain style with short sides and a soft, fringed top. This cut is ideal for women who desire an easy, yet stylish look with a youthful flair.
4. Asymmetrical Cut with Side Bangs
For those women who enjoy a touch of drama, the side-bangs asymmetrical cut is a showstopper. One side of the cut is a little longer, creating a modern, edgy look. Side bangs call attention to the eyes and create facial symmetry balance.
5. Layers with Highlights and Bangs
This layered style is elevated with face-framing bangs and soft highlights that add warmth and depth. It's a smart and pretty option for older women who'd like to introduce color and lightness without major overhauls.
6. Tousled Lob with Bangs
A bob-length bob with tough bangs makes effortless glamour. It is ideal for medium to dense hair and gives the right level of wave to gently frame the face.
7. Feather Cut with Bangs
Feather cuts add lightness and movement to the hair. Paired with light bangs, this look adds volume and complements most face shapes, particularly round and oval.
"One of the most forgiving cuts. The feathered texture hides thinning areas and creates the appearance of thicker hair," says Elena Ross, stylist and texture expert.
8. Tousled Shoulder-Length Cut with Bangs
This haircut provides a relaxed appearance with shoulder waves and loose bangs. It's especially complimentary for women with curly or naturally wavy hair who prefer an easy-to-manage style.
9. Shaggy Orange Cut with Bangs
Want to get bold? A shag haircut in a bright orange color with choppy bangs is a young and bold look. It's ideal for women who enjoy trying out bright colors.
10. Short Shag Bob with Fringes
The short shag bob is all edgy sophistication. The choppy layers and textured fringe give it fullness, making it perfect for thinning hair.
"Shaggy bobs are on trend in 2025 for their trendy look and functionality," says Katie Monroe, Pure Scissors Academy haircutting specialist.
11. Straight Cut with Bangs
Easy but dramatic, straight cut with full bangs catches the eyes and forms the face. It's a timeless look that won't ever be outdated.
12. Bangs with Fresh Layers
This style includes soft, flowing layers with light bangs that fall naturally. It's a favorite for a soft, sophisticated look that won't take much maintenance.
13. Blunt Bob with Bangs
The blunt bob with bangs is sleek, fashionable, and extremely trendy. It provides a young look and works best with straight hair textures.
"This style creates crisp lines that contour the jaw and raise cheekbones," explains Jordan Knox, a hairstylist based in London.
14. Flipped Out Bob with Bangs
Give a vintage flair with a flipped-out bob that has short, curved bangs. This whimsical look is a throwback to 60s glamour with a contemporary twist.
15. Pink and White French Bob with Bangs
Add a bright color twist to this French bob, tying up soft tones of pink and white together with whimsical bangs that truly exude an artistic and avant-garde feel.
16. White Curly Layers with Bangs
If you’re embracing your natural white or gray hair, this curly layered style with bangs is both graceful and glamorous. The curls add volume, while the fringe keeps the look fresh and updated.
17. Long Shullet with Bangs
A modern take on the mullet and shag combination, the shullet features longer layers in the back with choppy texture and bangs in the front. It's bold and fashion-forward.
"The long shullet is perfect for women who want to shake off old trends without sacrificing their length," agrees Michelle Duarte, creative stylist at Fringe + Form.
