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.
HAIRSTYLE TRENDS FOR LONG FACE SHAPE
If you have a long face, you have a face that will allow you to wear many different kinds of hairstyles. Short and medium haircuts are the best choices for those who have long faces, because these styles are perfect for balancing out the face. Mid-length cuts and bangs are ideal.
Long faces are shortened by bangs since bangs will cover large foreheads; this draws the eye to the part of the face from the eyebrows to chin, and keeps focus there. It’s a well-balanced look, perfect for long faces. If you have a long, thin face like Sarah Jessica Parker, you can wear lots of volume on the sides with wispy hair, layered bangs that are side swept, and enjoy a beautiful look. This style hides the long features, and keeps people focused on what is most important – your eyes, your smile, and cute cheeks.
Try to avoid long hairstyles, because these will only serve to elongate your face even more. Another thing you should avoid are hairstyles that are extremely short; your head will appear too large at the top. If you really want a shorter style, try a chin length bob. Make sure it frames your face so that there is volume on both sides which will balance your look out. Curls and waves add the illusion of volume, so these can be a great way to balance your look. No matter what you choose, as long as you avoid very short or long cuts you’ll look great!
