An amazing haircut can do so many things. It can lift up your spirits, for one. It should work well with your hair type, bringing out your hair’s texture in a way where you needn’t style it for hours for it to look its best. If you have thinning hair, a great haircut will also hide signs of thinning and frame the face so that the spotlight is on strong cheekbones, a defined jawline, beautiful eyes, and an expressive smile.
There is no one best hairstyle that will work for everyone. But if you’re searching for a stylish ‘do that works on so many struggling with thinning hair, these four hairstyles for women over 50 are among the best.
Medium-Length Shag With Waves Or Curls
A medium-length haircut is the perfect compromise between long and short — one that allows you to maintain some length but doesn’t drag down your face or facial features. This youthful cut relies on several layers cut in a ‘70s shag fashion. But the kicker is texture — waves or curls — which instantly creates more volume and the appearance of thicker hair.
Tapered Bob
A tapered bob features stacked layers in the back with longer layers in the front. This cut is especially gorgeous on thinning hair because it looks fuller in the back and sides, while still maintaining enough length in the front to frame your face. This cut looks great on all hair types, whether your hair is straight and fine or curly.
Textured Lob
Great haircuts for thinning hair are all about emphasizing texture. In this case, a lob is a long bob that ends somewhere between the chin and above the shoulder. Providing your cut with texture, courtesy of layers and waves or curls, creates a more voluminous look and movement.
Textured Pixie
A pixie cut that combines the classic pixie shape — short in the back and sides — with plenty of texture and piecey layers equals a trendy, funky, and fun look that also conceals thinning hair. A textured pixie goes well with highlights or balayage that emphasizes layers and creates beautiful dimension, which is also perfect for making thinning hair look thicker.
If you’re searching for a new look that makes the most of thinning hair, consider one of these trendy cuts.
