Purple Accents

Colorful and fun short hair style for older women

Wear it left or right, spiked or smooth. This textured short pixie hairstyle for older women features long sideburns, a short top and a long asymmetrical fringe that can be styled in a variety of interesting ways.

The neck has enough length to complete the dynamic silhouette of this fun and colorful look. Dark red and violet set the tone and the violet accents were placed with much finesse.

Silver Hair

Whether you have natural curls or need a little chemical help, a medium long layered and curly hairstyle is a beautiful way to make it through winter and it will look great for more than one season.

The curls are flattering and charming and can turn from casual to festive with just a few styling tricks. One of the best features of this multi-tone style for aged women is that it is cut to allow for maximum versatility. Just move the partition from one side to the other and transform.

Age 40 and Older Hairstyle

Hairstyle with joyful curls for 40 plus woman

Many layers distribute the bounty of joyful curls evenly around the head to shape a rounded contour. What a great way to make the most out of natural curls or, with the help of a perm, of thin hair.

The small curls have a corkscrew shape and the cut is long enough to gather the hair in the back for a fun, flirty and even festive updo. Fine tuned golden brown highlights bring the luster into the hair and add even more definition.

Amazing Braid

Long straight hair with a single thin braid

Everyone will ask how you did it! A long thin braid forms the edge of the top layer of hair and flows across the forehead to the middle of one side. It is based on the technique of a French braid but only has one side of strands feeding into it.

A creation that requires some skill and trained fingers. The result is a stunning and unique hairstyle that really brings out the beauty of long, sleek hair.

Spiraling Mane

Fine and light hair becomes glam-fabulous with the help of a large curling iron. The corkscrew curls spiral their way around the head with much motion, definition and with the long fringe that is swept to the side the face is not concealed but framed with a frolicking mass of brunette curls. The hair color is warm and deep brown with a few highlights for extra depth.
