To keep curls defined and frizz-free, use DevaCurl SuperCream Coconut Curl Styler for moisture and Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream to maintain definition.
Sleek Straight Lob with Subtle Layers
The sleek straight lob with subtle layers is a refined, modern option for women in their 40s looking for a medium length cut. The lob, which rests at the shoulders, features subtle layers that add just the right amount of movement without disrupting the sleek look. This cut works well for women with both straight and fine hair, as the layers give the appearance of fuller, healthier locks.
To achieve the sleek finish, use GHD Platinum+ Professional Performance Styler for straightening, followed by Kerastase Elixir Ultime L’Huile Original Hair Oil for added shine and smoothness.
Modern Shag with Feathered Ends
The modern shag with feathered ends is an effortlessly chic option for women over 40 who want a bit of edge while keeping things low-maintenance. This cut features feathered ends that give the hair a light, airy feel, making it ideal for women with thick hair or those looking to add texture and movement. The shag is perfect for those with a round face, as the feathered ends and layers create a slimming effect while adding volume at the crown. It’s a mid length option that works great for those who prefer a messy, tousled style.
To maintain the feathered texture, use Ouai Texturizing Hair Spray for volume and definition, and finish with Davines OI Oil to keep the ends soft and smooth.
Long Pixie with Voluminous Top
The long pixie with a voluminous top is the ideal short trendy style for women looking for something easy to manage yet bold in appearance. This cut is perfect for women in their 40s who have round faces, as the added volume on top elongates the face. The pixie remains short on the sides and back but has longer layers on top, giving it a fuller, more voluminous look. It’s a great choice for those with finer hair, as the layers create the illusion of thickness.
To maintain the volume, use Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Sculpting Foam and finish with Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray to lock in the height and shape.
Choppy Bob with Wispy Bangs
A choppy bob with wispy bangs is the ultimate combination of modern and casual. This short bob features uneven, choppy layers that add texture and dimension to the cut, making it ideal for women with thick hair or a round face. The wispy bangs help soften the overall look, creating a playful, youthful vibe. It’s a stylish short cut that’s easy to maintain and can be styled in various ways.
To keep the choppy layers looking fresh, use Kevin Murphy Bedroom Hair for texture and finish with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum to add shine without weighing the hair down.
Curly Lob with Defined Ringlets
For women with natural curls, the curly lob with defined ringlets is a stunning and flattering option. The lob (long bob) cut is perfect for those who want to keep their medium length while still showing off their curls. The ringlets add volume and structure, making this style ideal for women with round faces or those who want to enhance their natural texture. The cut sits just above the shoulders, giving it enough length for versatility but still easy to manage.
To maintain the curls, use DevaCurl SuperCream for moisture and Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel to define the ringlets and prevent frizz.
