Just because you’ve gotten a little older doesn’t mean you can’t have any style. And when it comes to hair, you’ve got the perfect opportunity to let yourself shine. Forget the boring, frumpy hairstyles you grew up thinking were reserved for those over 40. Whoever came up with that idea was poorly misinformed. Just as everything else has, hairstyles for older ladies have certainly kept up with the times. Whether you wear your hair long or short, there’s a perfect hairstyle for you. Not just one option, but several, no matter what length or style you favor.

Have you been wearing your hair long for years but found yourself toying with the thought of chopping it all off? Do short hairstyles equal boring in your mind? That doesn’t have to be the case. Bobs, lobs, and pixie cuts are not only in style – they’re also the perfect excuse to make the chop you’ve been dreaming of. For those who are in it for the long-term commitment with their long locks, there are tons of ways you can style your hair for something a little different. Side-swept bangs can add a sweet touch to any style. One of the major plus sides to rocking long hair is that you can easily create sculpted waves, loose romantic curls, or even a flirty feathered style.

Embrace this time to experiment with your hair

If you struggle with finding the perfect style to wear your beautiful curls in, there are better options than just washing, combing, letting it air dry, and hoping for the best. At any length, or with any style, having your stylist add highlights or lowlights can add both dimension and definition to your hair. It’s a tried and true method of waking up lifeless hair. No matter what style or length you opt for, that perfect look can be achieved. Hairstyles, cuts, and colors are the perfect way to celebrate what makes you unique. As the old saying goes, life is all about choices, and it should be no different with your hair. Embrace this time to experiment with your hair. Go ahead, add those choppy layers for the rock inspired shag you’ve been dreaming of; or chop it all off and style that new pixie cut to perfection!
