To care for permed hair, use Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector to keep curls healthy and defined, and Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream to enhance softness and control frizz.
Layered Bob with Textured Ends
A layered bob with textured ends is a great choice for women over 50 who want a stylish yet easy-to-maintain look. The layers add movement, while the textured ends give the cut a more modern, edgy finish. This style works especially well for those with thick hair, as the textured ends help reduce bulk and create a lighter, more flattering shape. It’s also a fantastic choice for women with a round face, as the layers elongate the face and add dimension.
To style textured ends, use TIGI Bed Head After Party Smoothing Cream to smooth flyaways and enhance the texture, and for volume at the roots, try Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam.
Sleek Layers with Glossy Finish
Sleek layers with a glossy finish offer a polished, sophisticated look that is perfect for formal occasions or those who prefer a more refined style. This cut works especially well on straight hair, with the layers adding subtle movement while maintaining a sleek overall appearance. Women with a long face will find this style particularly flattering, as the sleekness helps balance their facial features. This style is also ideal for those with gray or brunette hair, as the glossy finish enhances the natural shine of the hair.
To achieve and maintain the glossy finish, use Kerastase Elixir Ultime L’Huile Original Hair Oil for shine and smoothness, and CHI Silk Infusion for heat protection and a sleek, frizz-free finish.
Volume-Boosting Layers with Lifted Roots
For women looking to add extra volume and lift, volume-boosting layers with lifted roots offer the perfect solution. The layers create natural body throughout the hair, while lifting the roots gives a full, voluminous appearance, especially ideal for those with thin hair. This style suits both round and long faces, as the added volume creates balance and enhances the overall look. It’s also a great option for those with brunette or gray hair, giving the hair a lively, youthful bounce.
To boost volume, use Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray for root lift and Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast to enhance texture and fullness.
Layered Cut with Subtle Curls
A layered cut with subtle curls is perfect for adding texture and movement to medium-length hair, making it a great choice for women who want a softer, more romantic look. The curls add definition to the layers, making the style ideal for women with curly or wavy hair. This cut is flattering for both round and long faces, as the curls soften the facial structure and provide balance. The subtle curls work well with thick or thin hair, providing a modern, voluminous appearance.
To maintain the curls, use Briogeo Curl Charisma Rice Amino + Avocado Leave-In Defining Crème for frizz control and curl definition, and DevaCurl SuperCream Coconut Curl Styler for moisture and shine.
Layered Lob with Shaggy Bangs
A layered lob with shaggy bangs is a trendy, modern style that offers a balance of structure and softness. The shaggy bangs add a playful touch to the sleek lob, creating a versatile look that suits women with both straight and wavy hair. This style is especially flattering for women with round faces, as the bangs help frame the face and add a youthful, casual vibe. It’s also a great option for those with gray or brunette hair, keeping the overall appearance light and fresh.
For shaggy bangs, use R+Co Dart Pomade Stick to keep the fringe textured and in place, and a light hairspray like Kenra Volume Spray 25 to maintain hold without stiffness.
Textured Layers with Short Bangs
Textured layers with short bangs offer a bold and contemporary look for women over 50 who want to experiment with a more daring style. The short bangs add a dramatic edge to the cut, while the textured layers create movement and volume throughout the hair. This style is perfect for women with thick hair, as the layers thin out the bulk, and the short bangs offer a sharp, modern finish. It’s a great option for those with long faces, as the bangs help balance the facial structure and add a fresh twist to the look.
To style short bangs and textured layers, use TIGI Bed Head Manipulator Matte Cream for definition and texture, and finish with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray for hold and shine.
