To take care of it, I would suggest a hydrating mousse to make the soft folds not stiff- Kerastase Curl Manifesto Crume works well even on shorter cuts. A small can of dry shampoo can also be used to maintain volume at the top particularly when winter hats flatten everything.
I always imagine it as the “cozy pixie- small, detailed and always wearing chunky knits and winter scarfs whenever I see a cut like this. It is evidence that the short styles do not necessarily imply harsh. They may be cozy, friendly and most importantly, completely stylish.
Layered Mid Length Cut with Curtain Bangs
It has a universally flattering quality about a mid length layered cut with curtain bangs. The flow of this style is soft and wraps around the face making the length long enough to be versatile. The blonde balayage gives it depth and brightness, which is ideal during the winter where natural light may seem limited. It is smooth but easy-going, a cut that is modern but not too fashionable.
To maintain them, I have been taught that layered cuts require some affection in the form of heat protectants. I prefer the Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray to keep ends smooth and safe in the process of styling. Even during winter hats, a volumizing mousse that is lightweight can ensure that those curtain bangs do not flatten out.
I have always found this sort of haircut inspirational- it possesses motion, it possesses flair and it does not require constant styling. This will be loved by women of over 40 who desire a chic, low maintenance cut and just the right amount of structure.
Classic Sleek Bob with a Polished Finish
A smooth short bob never goes out of fashion and this one is an art of beauty. Straight at the chin with slight curves inwards, it frames the face in the most clean manner. The honey-blonde color brings the warmth and neutralizes the coldness of the cut. It is that ideal combination of contemporary short accuracy and classic elegance that is applicable in every possible place, whether it is office days or even night out.
It is important to keep this bob shiny particularly during dry winter winds. To keep flyaways down, I would suggest a smoothing blow-dry cream such as Kérastase Discipline, to fix that mirror finish. Silk pillowcase also serves to minimize the issue of statical and this is a challenge during a drop in temperature.
I myself have put on a kind of this bob and what impressed me was the immediate modern and polished feeling it gave me. It is crisp but very feminine-one of the cuts that makes one talk on their behalf.
Loose Wavy Lob with Soft Blonde Dimension
A loose wavy lob is always a winter favorite to women who want something easy but stylish. The layers give a dishevelled appearance that is easy and sophisticated and the cool blonde with lowlights adds a dimension. It is a casual, light-hearted winter outfit, particularly when worn with warm sweaters and bright earrings. This multi-layered short-to-medium length cut is flexible enough to be worn straight, curled or air-dried to give a natural look.
In order to maintain waves, I would recommend a salt spray or a light styling cream. Ouai Wave Spray would be ideal to add that non-crunchy bend. It also works great in bringing back the waves the next day in the morning hence the style is truly low maintenance.
I never didn’t like the way a lob like this feels comfortable, and it is professional enough to work and relaxed enough to be worn on a weekend. To any woman above 40, it is one of those cuts which are universally flattering and will never appear old-fashioned.
Elegant Mid Length Blowout with Soft Waves
There is no better style that is as classic as a smooth mid length blowout with rounded ends. This chop emphasizes bulk and volume and the warm caramel shades that are interwoven in the strands have a warm wintery feel. It is smooth without being hard and the form gives the hair a sense of motion which is useful especially to women with thin hair who need a quick fix of volume.
What I have always liked about this appearance is that it is very versatile and can be worn smooth in the daytime and then add a few velcro rollers before going out in the evening to turn the waves up. Another styling cream such as the Supershine by Oribe will ensure that the hair stays soft and gives that healthy light-reflective look.
Edgy Short Pixie with Tousled Layers
The winter is the season when it is time to be boldly reinvented, and this edgy short pixie is precisely that. The cut is shreddy, stacked and rough, with a somewhat undress feel that is simultaneously cool and carefree. It strengthens bone structure, sharpens the jawline, and exudes that contemporary short energy that so many women over 40 long to have when they are ready to change.
I believe the trick to removing a pixie such as this one is confidence- it is one of such styles that makes you feel that you are carrying your personality along. A matte pomade such as Redken Rough Paste performs miracles in giving the hair definition without bringing it down. Best part? It is very low maintenance as compared to longer cuts.
Classic Short Bob with Rounded Bangs
Those who incline towards classic lines will find the soft rounded short bob with bangs a gorgeous option. It is a cut that is placed just at the jaw and curved inwards to give a face-framing effect. The bangs are used to balance the appearance, which adds a bit of softness to the fashion, and the style remains organized. It is classy but friendly-like the type of haircut you will never regret having done.
What I love about this cut is that it is absolutely matched with winter fashion: turtlenecks, statement earrings, even scarves do not seem to be out of place with it. It is kept in place by a light smoothing cream, however, the shape itself does much of the styling work.
