HAIRSTYLES FOR LADIES OVER 50
HAIRSTYLES FOR LADIES OVER 50
When looking for a hairstyle for women over 50, the long hairstyles somehow do not seem as appropriate as when you were younger. Many ladies over 50 find that the short to medium length look is their best bet. Some of the hairstyles that look great on women over 50 are chin length hair that is straight but can have a little body or curls added, short naturally curly hair, a classy yet sleek ponytail pulled back low on the neck and a short cut just above the shoulders.

These cuts can be worn in various ways and depending on what type of hair you have, whether it is curly or straight, can be worn that to suit your face shape. If you want a style that is not too long and not too short, the hairstyle that is perfect is that of the one Glenn Close wears. It has bangs that cover the forehead with the bottom ends flipped up and out. The hair is parted off to one side at the top of her head and is a simple yet modern hairstyle.
Another great over 50’s hairstyle is the classic ponytail. It’s not just for a weekend look anymore, but a classy and sophisticated look if you still work in the office. The hair can either be parted down the middle, parted at the side or even swept back evenly from the front to back and held with a stylish and embellished ponytail holder. The low ponytail gives the more professional look and if desirable can have a few wisps or tendrils that fall around the face.
If you have curly hair, you can use your natural curls to your advantage and part your hair down the middle and then take the very back part and brush it back to where you have a half part down the front part of your hair. Soft loose curls fall to each side of your head and can be accentuated by using a curling spray product to add shine and hold the curls. The best curly hairstyle for women over 50 is the one that is just above the shoulders.
ARE PERMS IN STYLE
ARE PERMS IN STYLE
Perm is short for permanent wave. A perm is a way to get curly hair without having to do daily heat treatments using hot rollers or curling irons, or going to bed with your hair in rollers. Back in the 1980s, perms were extremely popular, especially ones that had tight curls. Today, perm styles are versatile and you can find one that will suit your personality with little trouble. Perms last 4-6 months, which means a lot of freed up time for women who want to have curly hair but don’t want to have to spend hours curling their hair.
Spiral perms are very much in style for 2010. These perms give a very curly look, without having to spend every morning risking a burn from the curling iron. Spiral perms are known to end up being a disaster, leaving the woman who got it looking like a poodle hit with a lot of static electricity. But if your own natural wave pattern and hair texture is taken into account, and the stylist uses the correct size rods, your hair will turn out to be truly beautiful. Keep in mind that the smaller the rods, the tighter the curls will be, and when your hair grows out, it could look a bit rough if you didn’t take that into account.
Big bouncy curls are a great look for 2010. To get big bouncy curls, you’ll want to get a perm where large rollers are used. You could do it yourself, but your best bet is to go to a professional when you want to get any kind of perm. This makes sure that you won’t accidentally end up with a bad style that you then have to spend even more money to get fixed. Getting a perm so that you have big, bouncy curls is a great idea because it frees up at least a half hour in your morning so that you aren’t having to curl your hair with hot rollers or a large curling iron.
