Youthful Hairstyles for Women Over 50
Cleopatra Hairstyle
The shoulder-length bob with bangs is a classic that never goes out of style. You can wear this hairstyle in every imaginable color – from black to pure white and everything in between. Apply an anti-frizz product to keep your Cleopatra hair nice and sleek.
Natural Fluffy Afro
Embrace your natural textured hair. Wear your hairstyle as short or as long as you want. Remember to use a conditioning curl-enhancing product to gently shape your coils and keep them healthy. Work a hair pick on the roots to lift and plump.
Long Side-Styled
Love your long locks? No need to cut your hair short because you are over 50. Apply a thickening product to your hair and style it with loose playful curls for the perfect youthful look.
Colorful Highlights
Are you feeling bold and trendy? Add some colorful highlights to your hair to showcase your fun personality. Try the color hair clip extensions that you can temporarily add when you want.
Natural Waves
Gray or white hair doesn’t have to make you look older. Style your beautiful natural waves with colorful hair accessories. Use a purple shampoo and conditioner to keep your natural locks from going yellow.
Bold Color
Feeling bold? Color your hair in your favorite color. Pink, purple, red, or any other color that represents your style and personality.
Shaggy Hairstyle
Bring out your inner Pat Benatar with this trendy shag hairstyle. This style suits many face shapes and also looks great in a variety of colors. Add highlights and lowlights to accentuate your shag hairstyle. Dab on some texturizing product to achieve the perfect shaggy look.
Blonde Afro
Dye your beautiful afro in a bold color and let your youthful personality shine. Make sure to condition your hair to keep your style healthy looking.
Blunt Pixie with Bangs
Express yourself with this fun pixie with straight-cut bangs. This style looks great in a natural salt & pepper or a bold color like pink or purple.
Long Braids
Rock your long braids and look as young as you feel. For best results get your braids and extensions done professionally and keep them conditioned.

I was inspired to grow out my hair after watching a Brooke Shields Christmas movie… I will never look anything like her, but we have similar hair color/texture. (And the same age…)
Thank you for this article – I always thought that long hair was a big no no for us older girls . But now I know differently – Not cutting my hair
After retiring, I stopped cutting and dyeing my hair and I love the results. My hair is almost to my waist now (I have had it trimmed) and the color is a soft gray that I find very appealing. I’ve had fun braiding it and trying new styles – all things I never was able to do when younger, when I had my hair styled short. Even as a girl it was short. Love it!
