The reason I love this look is that it is not diluting any of this – your face, your features, your energy. It highlights everything, not hides. According to celebrity stylist Vernon Francois, the hair curls should be a noise-making thing, not a terrible thing, but embrace them, embrace individuality. Couldn’t agree more.
Into something hip, heavy and fiercely unique? Then the magic begins with this curly crop that is in dire need of something sexy.
Polished Platinum Side-Swept Bob
This smooth short bob glows as first frost in an October morning. It is an understated asymmetry which is so strong, longer on the front, a tuck on the nape, and made breezy with the back falling on the side forming an instant charmer with the modern short hair do. The platinum shade is opulent, fall fashionable and sets off well with scarves and statement jewelry and deep berry lipsticks.
To maintain this tone, purple shampoo is essential. dpHUE Cool Blonde Shampoo is a fantastic luck at neutralizing brass that does not dry out. Apply a light leave in conditioner and heat protectant and then proceed to style using a round brush, ends should flip up by themselves showing proper cutting.
To me this style shouts city-chic in less than five minutes. It is fabulous on fine or thin hair providing immediate thickening and form. It is fantastic also on people who are coming into their silver era yet want a bright color, icy blast.
Why is it one of the best cuts on fall haircuts on women above 50? It’s fresh without being fussy, refined without being rigid — and honestly, it just makes you look like you know exactly what you’re doing with your life.
Layered Dimensional Ash Bob
If you normally have thin hair, then this layered short bob is a thickening treatment, in a sense. The ashy brown being combined with an eye catching bright silver creates an exquisite depth and movement and the choppy layers, a bounce and form. It is a flawless mid-transformation style when you are wearing your grays and yet still you want that high-definition salon look.
A texture spray, e.g. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray will also be your best friend on maintenance. It not only raises roots and gives a structure, but it also does not overload the strands making it something you need when the desired effect is the volume rather than a dry stiff style.
I think it is the winning cut since I tend to leave layers to live. With this look, you do not want to be perfect, on the contrary a little mussy finish will make it more fashionable and less drastic. One of my readers referred to this as her post divorce power cut. I still think about that.
It is a fall haircut that looks stunning, as well as grows and changes easily, – which, frankly enough, is exactly how I want to transition into the fall season too.
Classic Curled Shag with Natural Grace
This modification of the shag is a classic autumn adore because there is a reason. It is a mixture of form, texture and soft-ness mainly around the face. The greasy gray tone took it a notch higher and it fits beautifully on anyone who might want to make his or her silhouette look a bit softer yet at the same time maintain a confident posture. This chop is between retro glam and urban comfortability, – a reason why this style would be perfect in a low maintenance style of 2025.
Frankly speaking, such curls badly want moisture and definitions, not control. Bumble & Bumble Curl Defining Cream is a rich product and improves the texture with no crunchiness. The curls should be left to do themselves, it does not matter whether it is perfect, it is about being alive.
The way I associated it is with early morning walks with a latte, warm sweaters and that inner confidence that says, I am over the long hair look. This is my time.”
It is rather retro and yet experimental when it comes to haircuts in fall, and the juxtaposition of old and new is always warm and fresh.
Minimalist Platinum Crop with Sharp Lines
It is the master piece of bebop tiny pixie-like cuts the queen all in minimal, architectural, and sharp ways. The almost-white color combined with the short cropped edges is bold in a not-so-apologetic way. You do not accessorize this, this is what accessorizes you and that why it is so powerful. It is perfect when 50+ women want their haircutters to speak loudly.
To maintain the shape, regular trims (every 4–6 weeks) are key. Keep it sharp, not shaggy. In between washes I apply K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask to maintain strong and healthy strands, particularly when I am lightening to this extent.
Personally, my aunt well past 62 years of age has gone to this cut after years of having her hair get long, and I have never seen her look more confident. It has a certain simplicity of it that allows everything (eyes, skin, style) to really shine.
It looks cool, it does not require a lot of care and induces a great impression without uttering a single word. Perfect for crisp autumn days and bold new starts.
Glossy Mid-Length Blowout with a Vintage Vibe
If drama is your thing (the good kind), this voluminous medium length blowout might be calling your name. It is caught dead on the shoulders, the ends turned a continued little bit beneath, and with perfect shine. Of course, there is the snow-white color that goes with the retro glasses and accessories giving that old glam sensation that I cannot live without during fall.
Glossy styles like this thrive on discipline. You should use the Color Wow Dream Coat to seal that glass finish. Use a round brush made of boar bristles and use a blow dryer slowly. A shine mask should be able to revive lifeless strands; a weekly treatment such as Christophe Robin Regenerating Mask can do the trick.
This kind of look is as innocent as stepping into the holiday gala with a flute of champagne and a secret in mind to me. It is strong in a non-demanding manner, it only gets attention.
It also suits well those who would like to have short hair, but does not want to take a commitment of long hair. This is a well match length with fall scarves, collars and coats. Functional, fashionable, and 100% fall.
Voluminous Silver Swirl with Tousled Charm
This cut is the poster child for playful elegance. the pulled up crown, the slightly messy waves, and the salt and pepper hues combine well and achieve a multi layer short cut that is natural and finished. The thicker or medium-density textures are able to express the best on the body at the roots and it is impossible not to notice the touch of something flirty in the manner of the movement. Some retro and some edgy, this is more than fall haircuts of women 50+ should be.
