f you crave more volume in your hair, a great haircut may just be the solution you’re looking for. You have so many more options than you probably imagine if your goal is to add body and boost your hair’s movement. Whether your hair length of choice is long, medium, short, or super-short, we’ve got you covered with a great style that’s bound to be a hit this spring.
Always consider your hair type and texture before deciding on the right cut for you. For some, a cut with more layers and feathering will build volume through texture. Others will benefit from blunt ends that give thinner locks a more dense appearance. This list of nine stylish haircuts women over 50 should try in 2025 will start you off with major options.
1. Long Layers
You don’t have to part ways with long hair after a certain age, but it may become more important to focus on its shape so that it doesn’t hang listlessly. Adding long layers to your hair is a smart way to give it lift and movement.
2. Textured Bob
Bobs are hot right now and aren’t in danger of going out of style anytime soon. A textured bob that features tons of layers can be a great look if you want something funkier and more playful.
3. Shag
If you are a big fan of lots of layering and feathered ends that help create texture, the ‘70s shag haircut is one to keep in mind. This retro favorite can be worn to the collarbone or shorter if you have thin hair.
4. Blunt Bob
Having really fine or thin hair and trying to find the perfect hair style can feel like an impossible challenge. The bob works well because it is short enough to eliminate stringy ends, and blunt ends can be magic since they bulk up thin hair and make it look more dense.
5. Layered Lob
It’s longer than a bob, but shorter than shoulder-length hair: the lob is a fantastic haircut for building volume. Add long layers and a few to frame the face for a gorgeous look.
6. V-Cut With Curls
The V-cut (with shorter sides and a back layer that is cut into a V-shape) doesn’t always work well with super-straight hair if your goal is to make your hair look more voluminous. But its shape often flatters curly or wavy hair and the absence of one long sheet of hair by your face can give your face more of a lift.
7. Curly Bob
We often see the classic bob styled straight and sleek, but a curly bob can be youthful, voluminous, and so much fun.
8. Layered Pixie
When you think of pixie haircuts, do you think short, short, short — and not much else? Sorry for the pun, but that’s selling the pixie short! A pixie can be customized to suit your hair type, texture, and even your face shape. A longer, layered pixie provides more of an opportunity to style longer layers on top, while maintaining the pixie’s signature short back and sides.
9. Feathered Long Bob
The feathered long bob is still a bob, but it extends a bit more down the neck and features face-framing layers that are soft and wispy. This can help create the illusion of volume in thin hair.
