Age is just a number. You should not dwell on it, it is better to concentrate on well-being and reflection in the mirror. It is difficult to forget about age, seeing the accumulation of wrinkles near the eyes, nasolabial folds. If desired, they retain their attractiveness over the years, creating a new image. The key role in it is assigned to the haircut.

Peculiarities
When cutting a hair, women after 55 years are guided by the same principles as young ladies:
- hair structure;
- the length of the curls;
- what is the style of clothing;
- what is the shape of the face (thin / full).
Short or long
The pigtail on the head of an elderly lady looks ridiculous. After forty years, the hair loses its beauty, obedience and density. Hair looks lifeless due to age-related changes and emerging gray hair.
The hairstyle is chosen according to external data, but one caveat is taken into account: the shorter it is, the better.
Firstly, short hairstyles are easier to care for. Secondly, they spend a minimum of time on their installation. Third, they rejuvenate.

Hair coloring
For many 55-year-old ladies, there is no acute question of whether to dye their hair or not. When choosing a haircut, they also choose the color of the hair. They are more accustomed to solving two problems at once, looking for a new image. They get rid of gray hair and visually look younger for a couple of years. When deciding to experiment with color, take into account the nuances listed below.
- It is better to forget about red and red shades. They give off an uneven complexion and skin dullness. If you dye your hair in them, then only if natural of the same color.
- It is better to dye your hair in light colors... They will smooth out the sharp lines of the face, accentuate the color of the eyes and rejuvenate.It is preferable to choose warm rather than cold amber shades. Otherwise, there is a risk of not achieving a rejuvenating effect, but throwing yourself a dozen extra years.
- You cannot dye your hair in dark colors, however, you can choose a shade from a dark blond palette. It is undesirable to choose a black color, as it highlights a blurred contour and age-related changes on the face, as well as uneven skin.

If gray hair does not bother or bother, choose fashionable ash / silver tones.
Women who dare to experiment recreate an unusual light color and do not change their image. To find your color, they dye the hair with toning masks / shampoos. If you are not too lazy to use them constantly, you will not need to stain with ammonia paints.
With or without bangs
The debate about the bangs does not subside. Some are categorically disposed - after fifty-five years there is no time for tenderness and mischief, while others do not think so. The combination of a cascade haircut with bangs looks very feminine. It is advisable to make an oblique and milled bangs in order to extract all the advantages from it. There will be no problems with styling: it is combed or ruffled according to the mood.

Selection rules
When choosing a fashionable hairstyle, an elderly woman should take into account the proportions of the face, the type and features of the figure. Otherwise, you will not get a harmonious image.
Taking into account the shape of the face
A boyish haircut is not the only thing what a woman with hair can do when she is 55 years old.
Face shape | Suitable haircuts |
Oval | Classic square, cascade (bangs are not needed if there are few wrinkles on the face) |
Angular or elongated | Any haircuts: bob, pixie, cascade, light waves, but with obligatory bangs (if there are deep wrinkles, make a bob haircut with elongated strands and asymmetrical bangs) |
Round | Short haircuts with asymmetrical, long slanting bangs (the front of the face is "lifted" to make it proportional). In the presence of a "double chin" or folds on the neck, the length of the curls in front is left to the maximum. An excellent choice is a bob haircut. It suits everyone, whatever the style of clothing. |

Taking into account the figure
If the choice of hairstyle is still difficult, you can consult a stylist. Although the shape of the face is the main thing that is taken into account when choosing it, you cannot ignore your figure.
- Slender ladies, who have kept the proportions 90-60-90, are suitable for short haircuts "for a boy". On the one hand, they are stylish, and on the other, they add a touch of "hooliganism" to the image. Choose from two options: a bob or an elongated bob.
- Haircuts with medium hair length are suitable for the fairer sex with a lean physique. If they curl from birth, then the sharp corners in the figure will be invisible.
- Ladies "in the body" are better off making friends with long hair. They are laid in waves when it is necessary to emphasize the dignity of the figure.

Square
The square is universal. It is made by both young ladies and the elderly, but taking into account one caveat. A square without graphic transitions suits a lady with light hair. It gently outlines the line of the forehead and neck, emphasizes the details of the face, hides wrinkles.

Pixie
This haircut has few fans so far, but those that do have are exceptionally young girls. But in vain. Pixie suits ladies and older, who strive to look stylish and lead an active lifestyle.

Garson
Previously, mostly men cut their hair this way, but today women also cut their hair this way. Garzon is popular because it is versatile and comfortable. It is suitable for those who are used to experimenting with styling and, even at an advanced age, are not going to give up their usual troubles. Every day, a haircut can look special if you experiment with the arrangement of the strands.
A strict businesswoman is recommended "smooth", and women who laugh - a garcon sticking out in different directions.

Hair Care & Look Tips
You can't choose a woman's hairstyle at random. In order not to disfigure themselves, they consult with friends, look at photos in magazines and on the Internet, look for “their own” hairdresser. A new image is created in three stages:
- cutting curls to the desired length;
- staining to refresh the color / paint over gray hair;
- haircut formation.
A lot depends on hair care. Any haircut will fade in a couple of weeks, if you do not pay attention to the hair. In adulthood, there are not enough vitamins. They are obtained from vegetables and fruits or take a course of dietary supplements. Hair beauty depends on the quality of the shampoo, balm, serum, and protective sprays used.

Hair is washed every five to seven days so as not to cause increased dryness of the scalp. After washing, rinse them, but not with newfangled means, but with herbal decoctions, prepared on their own. Such care will keep your hair shiny and beautiful for a long time.
After fifty-five years, they do not dye their hair at home, but go to the hairdresser. After the procedure, they are looked after with a vengeance and serums and nourishing oils are used. If day by day the hair looks worse and worse, they turn to a trichologist, take tests and follow his recommendations for treatment.
In youth, they do not care about the state of the head of hair. She is not taken care of by grabbing a hairdryer and gel to get the desired look. The older a woman is, the more care her hair requires. Ideally, do not use a hairdryer and styling products every day.
There are many modern haircuts for older women. Finding what you need is easy. A competent hairdresser-stylist can even combine several haircuts into one and create an individual look for his client.
