Ready to revamp your look? Hair can make a big difference. Wanna know what hairstyles work best for women over 50? Linda Miller, a hair expert, shares her tips.
When Choosing a Hairstyle
Linda says, “Know your hair type.” If your hair is curly or wavy, a medium-length style with soft layers might be best. If you have thin hair, a soft bob with a side part could be ideal.
Considering Face Shape and Hair Condition
Linda also advises people to consider their face shape when choosing a hairstyle. If your face is round, a style that adds height on top and has a bit of weight at the sides is best. A heart-shaped face can look good with a style that adds volume around the chin area.
