From Helen Mirren’s foray into blue hair to Viola Davis’s style transformation, today’s red carpets are the perfect reminder that age is no barrier to having fun with your hair. But when you’re thinking about making a change, it’s best to have plenty of inspiration on hand so your hairstylist can give you the look you want.
Here’s some great hair inspiration from celebrities over 50. There’s everything from Jada Pinkett Smith’s cool hairstyles to Regina Hall’s silky permed looks and Catherine Deneuve-inspired flowing afros.
What is the most attractive hair length for women over 50?
What specific hair length women over 50 should stick to, it all depends on you and your personal style and preferences. Depending on your hair type and density, any and all lengths can be used to create the hairstyle of your dreams. However, if you’re looking for some foolproof expert advice, “It’s very flattering to have some soft layers down to the collarbone,” says Andreas Wild, a stylist at Larry King, which calls this style the “Clavi cut.” The most important thing is that it fits your lifestyle and makes you feel confident.
How can women over 50 add volume and texture to thinning hair?
There are so many products out there these days that you can add a little wawawang to thinning hair. Wild recommends adding a volumizing spray throughout the roots to add a little oomph and thickening.
Another pro tip from Wild is to go for a layered cut to add body and movement. He also recommends styling with a large barreled curling iron and a soft-bristled brush. This will keep the overall effect glossy and look effortlessly “unfinished.”
Are bangs a good choice for mature hair?
Bangs are a great option for mature hair because they look flattering on a variety of hair styles, whether it’s thick and chunky like Jane Birkin’s or wispy like Sabrina Carpenter’s. A hairstyle like the carpenter is especially suitable for those with naturally curly hair, adding more structure and definition to the face and around the eyes.
