Hairstyles for Older Women
Age is a state of mind and being old or belonging to the middle age or older woman bracket is more about the way you think and act. The kind of thoughts you harbor in your mind defines your age. Instead of considering the technical aspect about the age factor, have you taken a look at yourself and seen why people really refer to you as ‘old’? Many older women I know think it’s really the end of all the fun and happiness they have had so far, which is a completely wrong way of going about things! Ladies, it’s time you pulled up your socks and chuck out all the ‘age-old’ ideas.

Think about the song you hummed in your teens. When Cyndi Lauper crooned ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’, it did not mean you forget the main essence of the track you loved so much. It’s time you give yourself a makeover and add more style to the way you present yourself. You would be surprised how every little thing counts! A simple change in a hairdo can also work wonders for your image. Here are a few hairstyles for older women that can give you a glamorous yet sophisticated look!

Sneak Peek at Hairstyles for Older Women:

The Classy Bun:
Hairstyles for older women cannot be complete without the mention of the classy bun. However, how you style your bun is important to the way you ultimately present yourself. Buns are easy to wear and relatively low on maintenance. This fact makes it really popular with older women. Use these tips to style a bun.

Brush your hair completely and detangle all the strands. Think about the height of the bun; tie your hair with a band to a height that really suits you on the comfort factor. Then, gather all your hair and twist it clockwise around the secured band. Use another light band and secure the bun. Let the ends stick out and style them to your advantage. A hair spray will help to hold this hairdo. Use a stylish pin; there are many such varieties available only for buns. They help to add more dimensions to the hairdo. You can even braid the ponytail before you twist it into a bun.

Sassy Short Hairstyles:
Many older women prefer to keep their hair short. It if has to be short, then ensure it’s sassy as well! If you must go in for bob hairstyles, try to pick one that suits your personality and seems stylish as well. Use these tips to add the style factor for short hair.

Moisten your hair and use some spray gel. Then blow dry your hair; this will add more volume. Use some hot rollers and curl the edges of your hair with the help of the same. Once you achieve the desired curls, use a comb and tease them gently. Use a light hair spray on the curls to keep them in place. This will give you the windswept look!

Choppy Long/Medium Length Hairstyles:
Longer hair on older women may not really be considered to blend well but on the contrary; long hair can help you to try out certain different subtle changes everyday. Although long hair may not be possible for every woman, due to the thickness and the texture of the hair, you can try some tricks to keep the fun element intact. A medium length can also be styled in various ways to create new looks. Try off-center partings. Go in for elegant accessories such as a pin to hold the hair. Leave the rest of it loose. You can also go in for a choppy look that adds more volume to the haircut. Frame the front layers around your face or pin it to the sides. Add some variation everyday.

As you can see, hairstyles for older women are only about rediscovering yourself and being pepped up to try new looks. So all the ladies out there…simply let your hair down and enjoy life to the fullest!
