Haircuts and hairstyles for medium hair for women after 50 years
The dream of every woman, regardless of age, is to look beautiful and young. Hair is known to be an indicator of a woman's health and well-being. They are the first to react to changes in the body and life of a woman. Unfortunately, age is no exception. Hair eventually loses shine and density, as well as color, length, their structure changes, and gray hair appears. Using products for coloring, perming and styling, a woman, of course, improves external beauty, but also causes irreparable harm to her hair.
Peculiarities
For women over 50 years old, a huge number of haircuts are suitable. After all, age is not a reason to stop following fashion trends. The correct haircut will help to be beautiful and modern. You can choose any, but it doesn't hurt to remember a few features.
- Hair condition: structure, density, density. Hair thinning, hair loss, dryness and brittleness occur with age. Ecology, sun, stress, heredity, menopause lead to inevitable destructive consequences. When choosing a women's haircut, these features must be taken into account. Although, of course, there are lucky women with luxurious hair who retain a magnificent head throughout their lives.
- External changes in the face and neck, which are manifested, first of all, by the loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles, folds, double chin.
- Figure of a woman, her manner of dressing, makeup and hairstyle are a single ensemble, which should be consonant and not contradict each other. Therefore, heavy styling with sportswear or long loose hair on an elderly woman does not look.
- Gray hair is almost inevitable. The first gray hairs appear in girls, and by the time they are fifty, there are more and more of them. There are rare beauties, famous models, whose gray hair does not spoil. This is most likely due to the successful combination of skin tone and eye color. Most often, they do not paint them at all or tint them a little. In general, gray hair, even in young years, adds age and also makes the hairstyle sloppy.
- Hair color plays a significant role in a woman's appearance. Even the most successful haircut with the wrong shade of hair will not beautify a woman at any age. Be wary of dark, almost black tones, which can make your face look older. Different shades of red should not be chosen by women with a ruddy or easily blushing face, as well as with freckles. Ash or beige shades, if they do not age the face, will make it less expressive and faded. Bright colors and an insane combination of shades should also be left to young girls - after all, age implies solidity and elegance.
Suitable haircuts
It is easy to look young with the help of a hairstyle even after 50. You should not stick to one model for many years. The shape of the face, the structure of the hair, preferences are changing.

When a woman is satisfied with her appearance, her mood and posture change dramatically, and a twinkle appears in her eyes.
Classic haircuts, loved by many generations of women, change over time, new tools and techniques appear. A new shade on the hair or a differently treated hair ends will drastically change the look.
Based on the characteristics of age, haircuts for medium hair are best suited for women after 50 years, as they can hide wrinkles, imperfect facial contours, skin imperfections on the neck. In addition, these hairstyles look natural and stylish at the same time.

Stylish women will appreciate the lightness and volume of such a haircut. A face framed in graduated strands with bangs will help you look young and elegant. A haircut is suitable for almost any woman, regardless of the type of face and hair structure. The only exception will be the one with a short neck. In this case, the length of the strands should be made shorter.
- Square - the most versatile haircut for medium-length hair for women over 50. A large number of options will help you choose the most suitable one. So, a classic square with straight geometric lines will perfectly disguise an imperfect neck and emphasize the expressiveness of the eyes. The presence and shape of bangs depends on the shape of the face, with the help of which skin imperfections, wrinkles are hidden, the shape of the nose is corrected, and puffy ears are hidden. Complex coloring options look great on the square, such as coloring, ombre, lighter or colored strands near the face. The undoubted advantage of a square to the shoulders is naturalness and ease of care.
The variety of the square has dozens of options: classic, elongated, "on a leg", with or without bangs, asymmetrical, graduated.

- Textured bob - a classic haircut with a graduated texture and low volume.
Too voluminous haircuts can add a couple of years, as they will look unnatural, disheveled, and visually make the face look fuller.
How to choose?
Regardless of age, a hairstyle is chosen, first of all, taking into account the shape of the head and facial features: the shape of the nose, ears, and features of the neck. It is worth remembering that it is always difficult to objectively evaluate your data, so it is better to contact a professional.
There are several facial shapes with characteristic features.
- Oval, for which almost all hairstyles and haircuts are suitable. It is considered almost perfect. Only too inflated hairstyles are not suitable for her.
- Elongated oval complicated by more elongated facial features, which are easily corrected by the presence of bangs up to the eyebrows. This shape has a slightly blurred contour without clear lines and a round chin. The face will look shorter if you make curls, side parting, thick bangs. You should not wear a straight parting and hair length to the chin.
- Round face shape assumes the same parameters, i.e. a wide forehead and cheekbones. A successful haircut, for example, an elongated bob without a bang, will visually narrow and stretch the face. Various types of bangs are also suitable: thick, oval, asymmetrical, beveled, with a side parting. Asymmetrical haircuts will successfully correct full cheeks or imperfect features.
- Square face shape characterized by a wide forehead and chin. In order to visually correct it, you need to soften the shape a little and visually bring it to an oval. This will help a haircut with a ladder, the use of asymmetry, oblique bangs, an elongated bob. You should not do haircuts with clear lines and straight bangs. Any clear geometric lines that will make the face heavier should be avoided.
- Triangular shape or heart-shaped face characterized by a pointed chin and a wide forehead. With a cut of medium length hair and thick bangs, the emphasis is transferred to the lower part of the face. Oblique and asymmetrical bangs are also good.
- Rectangular shape in its features it is close to square, but has a more elongated shape, which should be slightly softened and made shorter through asymmetry, oblique strands and face framing. A bob with a length just below the chin with a slight graduation looks great.
- Diamond shape assumes wide cheekbones and a rather pointed chin. Delicate curls will hide noticeable cheekbones. A square with graduated strands looks good.
- Teardrop shape with a wide lower part of the face, it looks great with haircuts that have a side parting, torn strands, graduation and thinning. You should not do short or, on the contrary, too long hair, which will accentuate the features of the face.
Styling
For special and solemn occasions, hair styling can be done independently, of course, but it is better to entrust it to a professional.
Styling medium-length hair quickly and easily for everyday use is doable. On slightly damp clean hair, apply the necessary product, for example, mousse or gel. You can do without additional means of fixation if the hair is thick enough and keeps volume well. For styling, a hairdryer or iron is usually used. So, using a hair dryer and a round brush, the hair is dried in the required direction. At the same time, they are slightly stretched and twisted. Dried in this way, the strands look natural and light.
When using an iron, the hair strands are well stretched, become more elastic and smooth.
In order to create the volume on the back of the head, which is necessary for many haircuts (bob, bob, ladder), styling should start from the back of the head, lifting the hair and twisting it inward. To finish styling is on the strands of the face, pulling or curling the curls. You can stretch out individual strands and emphasize them in styling. After finishing, you need to apply a little hairspray to fix the effect and add shine. For everyday styling, you can use a wet-look gel.
