50 is that golden age where most women wonder if they’re young enough to match trends, but a woman over 50 can still turn heads.
The right attitude is essential when choosing outfits, and especially hairstyles. So see which of these modern cuts would look good on you.
Bob with Flicked Ends
Modern styles for women over 50 easily blend natural grays in trendy color jobs.
With the balayage technique, melt gray with darker blondes or browns then cut hair in long layers to create soft movement throughout your style.
Short Auburn Bob with Layers
Should you decide on a layered bob, be sure it’s styled to show off that dynamic cut. Look at the way these shorter layers were brushed back and set to create a nice version of feathered hair.
Medium Layered Hairstyle with Bangs
Todays stylists often agree that age shouldn’t imply restrictions on hairstyle choices.
Though as a rule, moderately voluminous short and medium hairstyles look much better than sleek ones for women over 50.
Here’s a layered style with soft highlights as a lovely example.
Blonde Feathered Bob with Height on the Crown
Feathered layers can be fun and flirty, especially when teased in the back for the crown to get a major lift.
Ask your stylist to create chin-length layers in the front that becomes shorter and shorter towards the back, then for her to add a few lengthy bangs.
Blow dry with a round brush to style it, then tease the back.
50+ Short Curly Salt and Pepper Bob
For women with thick hair, the key is to find a look that works with your texture, and not against it.
If your hair is tightly curled, it can hold its shape with ease, so a bob can be a good choice.
So brush short, curly hair when it’s wet, since dry brushing can create that overly fluffy finish you don’t want.
Medium White Blonde Feathered Hairstyle
Medium-to-short hairstyles can be transformed using strategically cut layers.
For women with fine, thin hair, feathery layers are a great way to gain extra volume and lift.
It’s popular among ladies over 50, because it maintains a youthful glow, plus it’s low maintenance.
Hairstyle with Feathery Layers and Nape Undercut
Hair that’s kept short and tidy can be a beneficial choice for women who are tired of the upkeep when having long hair.
So to maintain some volume, cut stacked and feathered layers then pair them with side bangs.
Brown Blonde Layered Hairstyle
Look at the way these layers fall. It looks complicated as a ‘do to style at home, but it isn’t.
Just ask your hairstylist to chop feathered layers into your hair.
When blow drying, use a round brush to flick the ends towards the back, then just finish using hairspray.
Soft Curly Blonde Bob
Choose a style that will embrace the natural texture of your tresses.
Curly or wavy-haired women will love the deva cut that allows for a seamless wash-and-go hairstyle, where curls pop.
Shorter Feathered Red and Blonde Hairstyle
A combination of red and blonde isn’t easy to pull off, but nail it, and you get incredible results.
Medium hairstyles coupled with longer layers which feather in a sweeping motion look really good with red and blonde.
It adds dimension and allows you to show off all the details of the style’s shape.
Medium Blonde Balayage Hairstyle with Dynamic Layers
Being middle aged doesn’t mean a woman’s hairstyle can’t be fun and playful at all.
There’s so much to do with medium hairstyles, so try and give new highlights and sassy layers a try.
You’re never too old for brightness coupled with your own style.
Blonde Cropped Hairstyle
The right cut will look amazing from all angles, even though you don’t see your style from the back all the time.
Here’s a style that gracefully tapers towards the neck using feathered layers, resulting in a thicker head of hair.
Long Choppy Bob with Bangs
Women over 50 usually take their hair short, since caring for very long locks is challenging and does not always look age-appropriate.
If you don’t want the length, an a-line lob can be perfect since the back will open up your neckline while face-framing layers will skim your shoulders up front.
Medium Layered Haircut
This cut’s discreet layers and subtle honey highlights looks amazing on fair complexions.
To achieve this seamless style, your longest locks have to graze the shoulders, and the top layers cut gradually shorter.
It’s a hairdo that’s easy to maintain, so complete this look with side-swept bangs on the front then style the tips with a round brush.
Medium Hair with Sweeping Layers
Nothing really wrong with an air-dried ‘do, but do go for one that’s styled with a brush to get a sophisticated polish.
These are layers gently brushed back off the face to give it a nice bit of movement.
Lob with Swoopy Bangs for Thick Hair
When choosing a style for women over 50, it’s important to go for one that won’t appear dated.
A super sleek and straight bob is modern and cool, especially when it is well-maintained.
Use large curlers to create that rounded bottom then finish it off with nurturing oil for an extra polish.

This honey-toned feathered cut is a great way to show off a healthy, thick head of hair.
It’s a hairstyle that’s full and dense, and yet not blocky thanks to all the layers that give a desired movement.
Choppy Bronde Pixie
A classic pixie is one of the best styles for women over 50, especially for those who like the ease of maintenance this cut offers.
If hair is thick, go for choppy layers to prevent a poofy and uncontrollable look.
Neat Feathered Gray Pixie
A good pixie cut is a classic choice for women who desire change.
This style requires the least maintenance while being the ultimate “wake up and go” style.
Choose slightly longer strands on top and around the face, but also keep your hair super cropped towards the nape of your neck for that neat and clean shape.
Short Piece-y Crop
Sleek crops are elegant, but piece-y ones can be really chic too.
Just use some styling gel or mousse to enhance the texture and define the ends of those layers. That creates a very cool, edgy look.
Reverse-Ombre for Short Gray Hair
Traditional ombre styles will look dark at the roots first, then fade lighter towards the ends.
The benefit of the reverse is that fading from light to dark, while giving an overall brighter appearance, also adds great depth.
This color combo is a great option for those who do not want to go gray all over, since the dark contrast maintains a youthful edge.
Medium-Length Golden Bob
Most people assume that women over 50 have to sacrifice length and color when it comes to hairstyles.
This golden blonde bob is proof that they’re wrong.
Blonde highlights on this honey blonde base paired with a sleek, voluminous bob gives off a chic and sophisticated vibe, perfect for women of any age.

You can consider a cut that’s in the in-between phase like this one.
If you desire a cropped style but aren’t ready to commit to the pixie cut, then give this collarbone cut a try.
Add in some swooping layers, and you won’t feel like you are wearing an awkward mid length.
Mid-Length Feathered Beige Blonde Hairstyle
Choosing a youthful style bears the risk of a trying-too-hard-to-look-young look.
That’s not the case with this mid-length shaggy cut.
It frames the face and neck really well, while the soft blonde balayage takes you to the next level of sophistication.

Shorter Feathered Blonde Hairstyle

Use natural-looking beach waves to frame your face and emphasize those features you love.
Caramel and honey balayage will flatter most skin tones so take advantage.
Cute Razored Metallic Bronde Cut for Medium Hair
Lobs are bobs with some bonus length, so for ladies who aren’t ready to go super short, these are great as a transitional step.
If you have medium length hair, trim off a few inches, then ask for a razored finish so those ends don’t look chunky.
Thick bangs up front can add a playful, youthful touch to your overall look.
