The dream of every woman, regardless of age, is to look beautiful and young. Hair, as you know, is an indicator of a woman’s health and well-being. They are the first to respond to changes in the body and life of a woman. Unfortunately, age is no exception. Over time, hair loses its shine and density, as well as color, length, their structure changes, and gray hair appears. Using tools for dyeing, perming and styling, a woman, of course, improves the external beauty, but also causes irreparable harm to her hair.
Features
For women over 50, a huge number of haircuts is suitable. After all, age is not a reason to stop following fashion trends. The right haircut will help to be beautiful and modern. You can choose any, but it does not hurt to remember a few features.
- Hair condition: structure, density, density. With age, thinning of hair occurs, hair loss, dryness and brittleness appear. Ecology, sun, stress, heredity, menopause lead to inevitable destructive consequences. When choosing a female haircut, it is necessary to consider these features. Although there are, of course, fortunate ones with luxurious hair, who retain a magnificent mop throughout their lives.
- External changes in the face and neck, which are manifested primarily by loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles, folds, and the second chin.
- Woman figure, her manner of dressing, makeup and hairstyle are a single ensemble, which should be in tune and not contradict each other. Therefore, heavy styling with sportswear or long loose hair does not look on an elderly woman.
- The presence of gray hair is almost inevitable. The first gray hairs of the girls appear, and by the age of fifty there are more and more. There are rare beauties, famous models, which gray hair does not spoil. Most likely, this is due to a successful combination of skin tone and eye color. Most often, they do not paint them at all or tint a little. Basically, gray hair, even in young years, adds age and also makes the hairstyle sloppy.
- Hair color plays a significant role in the appearance of a woman. Even the most successful haircut with the wrong shade of hair will not decorate a woman at any age. Caution should be taken with dark, almost black tones that can make a person visually older. Different shades of red should not be chosen for women with a ruddy or slightly blushing face, as well as with freckles. Ash or beige shades, if they do not age the face, will make it less expressive and faded. Bright colors and an insane combination of shades should also be left to young girls - after all, age implies solidity and elegance.

How to choose?
Regardless of age, a hairstyle is chosen, first of all, taking into account the shape of the head and facial features: the shape of the nose, ears, neck features. It is worth remembering that it is always difficult to evaluate objectively your data, therefore it is better to contact a professional.
There are several forms of the face with characteristic features.
- Oval, for which almost all hairstyles and haircuts are suitable. It is considered almost perfect. For her, only too high hairstyles are not suitable.
- Elongated oval complicated by more elongated facial features, which are easily corrected by the presence of bangs to the eyebrows. This form has a slightly oiled contour without clear lines and a round chin. The face will look shorter if you make curls, side parting, thick bangs. Do not wear a parting and the length of the hair to the chin.
- Round face shape assumes the same parameters, i.e. a wide forehead and cheekbones. A successful haircut, for example, an elongated square without a bang, will visually narrow and stretch your face. Various types of bangs are also suitable: thick, oval, asymmetric, beveled, with a side part. Asymmetrical haircuts will successfully correct full cheeks or imperfect features.
- Square face shape characterized by a wide forehead and chin. In order to visually adjust it, you need to soften the shape a bit and visually bring it to an oval. This will help haircut ladder, the use of asymmetry, slanting bangs, elongated bean. Do not make haircuts with clear lines and straight bangs. Any clear geometric lines that make your face heavier must be avoided.
- Triangular shape or face heart shape characterized by a sharp chin and a wide forehead. Using a haircut of medium length hair and thick bangs, the emphasis is transferred to the lower part of the face. Slanting and asymmetric bangs are also good.
- Rectangular shape in its features, it is close to square, but has a more elongated shape, which should be softened a little and made shorter by means of asymmetry, oblique locks and face framing. Looks great bob just below the chin with a slight graduation.
- Diamond shape involves wide cheekbones and a rather sharp chin. Gentle curls will hide noticeable cheekbones. Looks good with graduated strands.
- Teardrop shape with a wide lower part of the face, it looks great with haircuts having a side parting, torn strands, graduation and thinning. Do not make short or, on the contrary, too long hair that emphasize the features of the face.
Stacking
For special and special occasions, hair styling can be done independently, of course, but it is better to entrust it to a professional.
Fast and easy hair styling of medium length for every day is quite feasible. The necessary means, for example, mousse or gel, are applied to slightly damp clean hair. You can do without additional means of fixation, if the hair is thick enough and hold the volume well. A hairdryer or iron is usually used for styling. So, with a hairdryer and a round brush, the hair is dried in the desired direction. At the same time, they are slightly stretched and wound. The strands dried in this way look natural and easy.
When using ironing, hair strands are well stretched out, becoming more elastic and smooth.
In order to create the volume on the back of the head, which is necessary for many haircuts (quads, bob, ladder), styling should start from the back of the head, lifting the hair and twisting it inward. Finish styling is on the strands in the face, stretching or curling curls. You can pull out individual strands and focus on them in styling. At the end, you need to apply a little hairspray to consolidate the effect and give shine. For daily styling, you can use a gel with the effect of wet hair.
