Hairstyles for Ladies Over 50

Hairstyles for Ladies Over 50

I’m not really sure what it is about 50, but women seem more inclined to run away and not embrace their age. The big 5-0 is a milestone, sure, but it’s not a deathbed. Be proud; you’re gorgeous. You’ve lived through five decades, including the 80’s, and you’re still alive to tell the tale. And if you just had a flashback of neon nail colors, legwarmers, lace gloves and wearing cheap, gaudy jewelry, I apologize.
Ladies in Their 50's Hair Idea

Celebrate your years by getting a new hairstyle. If you’re like my mother, you’re probably thinking “I’m every woman,” and I completely respect that. But come on. There has to be something you haven’t tried yet: a color, a crop, highlights, streaks. Or au natural maybe?
You can put down that brick you were getting ready to hurl at me. I know what you’re thinking. “No way am I revealing my real hair color.” Why not? You’re not old, you’re experienced. Show it off. I knew a woman once who had stark white hair from the time she was 10, but no one ever knew until she was 50 because she always colored it. But her real color was absolutely stunning on her, and to this day, I still want my hair to be that white when I get her age.

But if you’re not comfortable with that, do something else. Short hair actually looks much more sophisticated on older women, even when it’s edgy. I can’t tell you how much other women envy that messy look that crazy, messy, bed head look that only older women seem to be able to pull off. Perhaps it’s because it’s so fine, and it’s already gone through its rebellious stage, so it’s at a point where it’ll actually do what you tell it to – unlike your husband. Try it and see.

The point of a hairstyle at this point in your life is not to hide who you are. It’s to celebrate who you are. And, believe it or not, you’re lucky. There are no more rules saying what you can and can’t do. Of course, even if they were, you probably would have ignored them anyway. You’ve put up with enough already.

Katie Holmes Best Short Haircut Styles

Katie Holmes' Best Short Haircut Styles

There are many celebrities that have brought out their personalities with their hair cuts, but none have shocked more viewers than Katie Holmes and her endless changing styles.
Katie’s secret is that she has a mostly oval shaped face (some would say heart shaped because of her rather pointy chin) that is really forgiving. Her small, feminine features also give her plenty of room to accentuate her face! But there is nothing to fear if you have a different face shape or more prominent features because Katie has tried them all, and you can surely find one you like that will work for you too!

Short hair has become a fashion statement this year, and Katie took full advantage of that fact to explore some new styles of her own. Her chin-length bob with side-swept bangs really made the camera guys chase her this year. But this wasn’t the first time she had tried shorter hairstyles. Katie plays with the lengths of her bangs, the color shades of her hair, highlights and lowlights, and where she parts her hair all the time! These subtle changes can make all the difference! That is why Katie is able to get away with changing her style almost daily.

Katie also has had many long hairstyles in the past, and she has changed them almost as daily as her shorter styles. She has changed the texture of her hair with styling gels and mousses as well as straightening flat irons and curling irons. She is never afraid to try a new style, and it shows in her plethora of pictures. Go online and research some of Katie’s looks if you are looking for a fashion-forward and diverse example that you can show your stylist.

Spring 2010 Hairstyles

Spring 2010 Hairstyles

Ah, spring. The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and you’re waking up from your own winter hibernation. The cold makes us all frigid, harsh and anti-social, but soon the sun will be out and you’ll feel the need to go out, stretch your legs and get a feel for the world once more.
And get a new hairstyle. Every woman does it. The season changes, making you happier with yourself and you decide to express that by getting a new hairstyle. I know I will.

The first thing you might want to do is take the scissors and maybe give yourself a trim. Or a drastic cut. That’s fine. Pixie cuts are good this time of year, and are cute and easy to manage. Plus, it’ll give your hair time to grow out to a cute length for summer – if that’s your desire.
But if you decide to just get a trim or clip your ends, go wavy. This brings volume, body and shine to anyone’s hair, and doesn’t have to be maintained like straight hair does. Waves can be slept on, giving you a perfect foundation for a careless, mess up-do, or can be pinned up and back to draw attention to your face. And if you’re trying to celebrate mother Earth coming alive, dying your hair a warm earth tone (any shade of brown will do) will definitely pay you and her equal tribute. Or you can just do like grandma does and go buy a wig. You may laugh, but that’s one thing that never goes out of style.

The Dos and Don't Of Prom Hairstyles 2010

The Dos and Don't Of Prom Hairstyles 2010

When you are looking for prom hairstyles there are a few things to do and a few things to stay away from completely.

DO go online and research you face shape. After you find out your face shape, look online and search for celebrity pictures that have a similar shape. Doing this will allow you to have an intelligent conversation with your stylist before prom which will make you much happier with your hairstyle on the big day!

DON’T try to wing it! Asking your stylist to find the best look for you can be a gamble. If you really trust your stylist, then you may be happy with the result. However, for one of the biggest picture nights of your life, you may want to prepare a little. You will be less stressed if you have an idea of what you want before the night of the prom.

DO consider the evening’s theme and the style of your dress! The last thing you want to do is forget that your hair is just one element to your total ensemble. Your fashion sense will be brought into question if you forget why you are there! Make sure your hairstyle fits with your idea of what your prom is all about!

DON’T rely on what your friends are doing! Your hairstyle for a night like prom should be individually satisfying! It should express your own style and personality and with that idea in mind, it should be as unique as possible! You can be as crazy or traditional as you like, but be sure that you fit your style to the image you want to portray or you will be totally unhappy all night.

Layered, Curly and Hairstyles With Bangs in 2010


Curly, layered and hairstyles with bangs are all becoming increasingly popular amongst women all over the world. They add that extra character to any hairstyle, and practically anyone can work it. To find which one works for you there are a few things you have to know.

Layers are great for giving any hairstyle texture and movement, without having to change the entire hair length. Layers are most visible and work best for straighter hair, but don’t suit curly hair too well. A shorter layered look is great for women who have smaller, narrower faces. The medium layers are perfect for any face shape, and a middle path opens up the forehead. Longer layers feature more delicate layers with a very soft front. Whatever your hair length there is a layered look to suit you.

Curly hairstyles are classic and are great for creating a very soft and feminine look. There are a few things you can do to keep your curls perfect. Have your hair cut regularly, as the extra weight can pull down the curls. Use a curl-activating moisturizing lotion or gel after washing your hair. To give your hair a healthy look, try to use natural oils rather than a range of products that contain harmful chemicals.

Hairstyles with bangs have always been in fashion. Bangs lend themselves to a range of hairstyles, and you can create all of them without having to cut your hair. You can wear them up or wear them down, and cut them in a variety of ways. Asymmetrical bangs are great for any face shape, and especially suited to fine or medium hair types. Blunt cut bangs are great for a long straight hairstyle.

Layered, curly and hairstyles with bangs are all the rage, so find the one that works best for you and you can be turning heads in no time.
