Short hairstyles for women over 50 do not have to be plain and boring. Quite the Contrary! Short haircuts for women of any age can be sexy, sassy, and trendy!
It used to be that women over 60 were expected to have a short, straight, nondiscrimination that would not draw any attention. They were expected to dress and act their “age.”
Of course, this is utterly ridiculous because, as we all know, age is just a number. And with today’s advances in hair techniques and styles, there are boundless hairstyles for women over any age. Why stick to what is “expected?” The best thing about hairstyles in this day and age is that there are no rules! Anything goes when it comes to hairstyles!
By the time a woman turns 60, she already knows who she is and what does and doesn’t work for her skin tone, features, and personality. She also knows what she likes and dislikes. She has already lived through decades of fad and fashion faux pas; chances are, she’s had at least one disastrous haircut and has lived to tell about it. At this point in her life, she is comfortable in her own skin and knows what she wants in a hairstyle.
But who says she has to stick with the “rules?” If a woman of any age wants to keep her hair long and flow, that is her choice. As well, if she wants to chop it short, that is also her prerogative. And if she wants to dye her hair red or chooses to go gray gracefully, the choice is all hers.
In case you aren’t sure what style you want to try this time, here are five of the trendiest short hairstyles for women over 50 to give you some inspiration.
