Why Older Women Cut Their Hair and Why You Don’t Have To

Bright Color and Wavy Pieces

The mixture of colors in this look is great for those just beginning to turn gray because we still see a pop of natural roots mixed with bright blonde, sandy pieces and some gray. The overall look is put together yet not trying too hard. The long layers and waves keep the hairstyle perfect for on-trend ladies.

Past the Shoulders with Side Bang

This hairstyle has a super manageable length, flowing past the shoulders. The side bang here is youthful and feminine, plus works great on long faces or larger foreheads. So if you’ve always rocked bangs, no need to give them up just because you’ve reached a certain age.

Bold Reds and Soft Layers

Is it just me or is anyone else a huge fan of mature women who rock bold colored hair? Reds are wonderful for living-up your hair and showing off that bit of attitude at any stage of your life. While the color is sultry, the tapered face-framing pieces and layers throughout soften the entire look.

Long Hair Knows No Age Limit

Yes, short hair has its advantages and may seem like the road to travel down at 40, or 50, or 60. People may hold an opinion on when mature women should officially cut it all off, but at the end of the day, our hair is our own way of expressing our style and it should be something that makes us feel great whether that direction is long – like one of these ten amazing long hairstyles for older women — or a traditional length.
