Bouncy hair with volume is youthful and requires little prepping.
Aging is unavoidable, but even after 50 you can have fabulous, youthful-looking hair. It's all about how you style it. Single-processed hair or hair with too much product can make you look older. Redefine your style after 50 with a fun but sophisticated hairdo that will take years off your apparent age and leave you feeling beautiful. Does this Spark an idea?
Long Hair
Nowhere does it say that a woman has to chop off her hair after 50. A longer hairstyle with fringe is romantic and will make you look more youthful. Add thin, face-framing layers for a girly look. For a more edgy look add blunt, straight-across bangs. These also hide forehead lines and wrinkles. Demi Moore, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore are all 50 or approaching it and wear their hair long.
Short Bob
Women over 50 with thinning hair look beautiful with a simple bob. A bob will take the focus off your hair, which may be dry and thinning, and put the attention on your face. Add some simple side-swept bangs to hide forehead wrinkles and add a youthful look. This hairstyle is perfect for women over 50 because it requires little prep and upkeep.
Curly Hair
Hair that is severely straight looks harsh, overworked and unflattering. Add a little bounce to your hairdo with a curling iron. If you don't have the time to curl your hair, leave in sponge rollers overnight or get a loose perm. Curls around the face add a youthful look and give the hair vitality.
Ponytail
Little girls aren't the only ones who can pull off a ponytail. A sleek ponytail is sophisticated and can actually act as a temporary face lift because it stretches the skin. It is ideal for women with round faces who want to elongate the face. For a soft look, pull down a few wispy pieces around the face. Don't apply too much product; instead, allow the hair to move naturally.
