Today, women over 50 wear their hair in any style, cut, and color they choose.
For ladies with round-shaped faces, the right hairstyle can create the illusion of slimming angles and cheekbones. The roundness creates the need for asymmetrical angles and layers that are cut a bit unevenly.
Adding a bit of volume at the top of the head elongates the face and helps it to appear thinner.
A cut that features a good deal of texture and interesting angles will frame a round face perfectly, making it clear that this is a lady who knows that her age is just a number and she’s ready to have fun with it.
Once upon a time, the over-50 woman was expected to present herself as matronly and prim at all times. Her hair would be worn in a plain, unassuming style that would certainly not draw attention to herself.
A round face would have been presented underneath a severe bun, subdued with as many hairpins as was necessary to keep every strand firmly in place.
Fast-forward to modern times and you are likely to find a woman of this age rocking a hot pink pixie cut with a high side part, layers touseled and falling toward the forehead from a crown that has been teased for volume.
She may choose to add a few spiky pieces for fun or a graduated, stacked back cut to keep the party going from all angles. Explore hairstyle ideas to compliment your features below.
