A great haircut can turn a bad day around and make you feel invincible. Whether you’ve cut a few strategic layers into one-layered hair or taken the plunge and gotten a bob that highlights your cheekbones and jawline and makes you feel like a million bucks, hair can transform you.
And, of course, a haircut that doesn’t honor your facial features and personal sense of style has the opposite effect: it can make you feel like something is totally off. We’ve come across dozens of amazing haircuts over the last few years, so why not gather them all into one place and provide inspiration when you’re ready to up your game and transform your look? Here are some of the best (and a few of the worst) haircuts for women over 40.
