On the menu: hair ideas for all styles and lengths.

Short haircuts are very trendy and make you look much younger

What hairstyle to rejuvenate a 50 year old woman?

You don’t necessarily need to drastically change your hairstyle to look younger. All you need to do is adopt a shorter, more dynamic hairstyle that is easy to maintain. If you have a few gray hairs, you can keep them, because it’s super trendy. Otherwise, to bring light, a few highlights in lighter tones turn out to be your secret weapon against aging.

Very short hair with wavy bangs softens facial features

In fact, the goal of a rejuvenating cut is to balance and provide softness around the face. Darker shades tend to weigh down the face and accentuate wrinkles, but chocolate and burgundy can also enhance women of a certain age. A beautiful, well-groomed chic hairstyle can be a game-changer of the whole look and make you look younger with a few years. Without forgetting the box of natural makeup.

What haircut in 2024 is suitable for 50 year old women?

Here are some hairstyle ideas that are trending this year to freshen up your appearance, including timeless hairstyles. The goal is to choose a cut that is both modern and refined and complements your personal taste in style. Be aware that, as a general rule, long, straight hair tends to weigh down the features. That said, if you’ve decided to keep your hair long, try styling it with waves to create movement. From pixies with volume on the top of the head, to the ultra short and disheveled bob, to finish with a volumizing, but subtle shag – you have a truly enormous choice in this year 2024.

Fine hair should not have many layers

Asymmetrical bob for round faces

Bob hairstyles, which we call squares in France, are very chic and elegant in all their pretty variations. I suggest you opt for a square cut with brushed ends which is perfect for round faces. Add layers of varying lengths to create movement throughout your hair. The balayage technique is superb for enhancing your gray hair, while giving you a more youthful look. You can also opt for bangs to better structure your face and hide wrinkles on the forehead. Tapered bangs, like curtain bangs, are excellent not only for highlighting the look, but also for sporting a fashionable look, following their recent popularity. The plunging effect with longer strands framing the face and hair waves are other tips not to be underestimated for more movement and hair vitality and to frame the face nicely.

Short bobs are more suitable for ladies who have round faces

Square, available in all its versions

According to specialists, this is the cut that is the most appropriate and dynamic for a rejuvenating effect. The mid-length bob is suitable for all face types and the hairstyle possibilities allow you to change your style easily while remaining classy. Mid-length hair with layers is also very popular to enhance a woman over 50. For more dynamism, you can do ombre coloring at the roots. The side bangs on a square are great to enhance fine hair.

Otherwise, in 2024 the trend would be for very short squares, like Amélie Poulain on the one hand, and voluminous 90s squares – on the other. As for the former, take care that they are not too strict. Instead, opt for a falsely tousled look which gives a lot of lightness to the hair and makes the roots stand out. As for the latter, do a sort of blow-drying, by drying your hair and using a round brush. This, in order to obtain this volume so characteristic for the generation of models of the 90s.

Blonde hair brightens and softens the face

Opt for waves on a square for even more softness

The unstructured plunging bob is very trendy in 2024

Pixie to add volume and dynamism

The very short cut remains very trendy for women of a certain age. It does not require much maintenance and is suitable for round faces. This short hairstyle at the nape of the neck while adding layers to the head is increasingly popular. A long lock on the forehead is essential to adopt this cut with class and style. Hairdressers’ advice: it’s better to have volume when you opt for a short cut. This volume on the front and on the top of the head helps rebalance the proportions of the face, as well as adding the illusion of greater substance.

What we particularly like about pixies are the countless possibilities for hair play, to which they lend themselves. The longer strand on top can be backcombed for more volume, swept to the side or brushed forward for a sort of texturizing fringe. This year again, the curly pixie would also be very fashionable with a romantic strand that falls in front in a very nonchalant, but also elegant way.

Choose cuts that are easy to maintain

The soft crop cut

In 2024, we won’t get tired of mixies and bixies either – these beautiful alternatives to the mullet cut and the classic pixie cut. However, alongside them there is another cut which will be particularly trendy and which has taken the name “soft crop”. What is characteristic of the latter are the few longer and wispy strands, like regrowth. However, here we are only talking about a hairstyle which is only falsely neglected, very French-style, and with a guaranteed volumizing effect. So don’t hesitate to adopt it in 2024.

Shag cut for curly or fine hair

This hairstyle is perfectly suitable for women who have fine and thinning hair and look younger and more modern. Basically, your new cut must be adapted to the shape of your face and the texture of your hair. The best thing is to take advice from your hairdresser who could better update your hairstyle. And if you want a radical change, you have to start with hair color.

Otherwise, the layers of varied length, which are also tousled, give a very daring side (to the young girl) and full of bounce and lightness to this charming hairstyle. Unlike the previous year when the cut looked like a “wolf cut”, in 2024 you must prepare for a more subtle version. The trend kitty cut would take center stage with a very light and barely perceptible gradient, reaching the collarbones, or even the shoulders. Despite its less wild and more gradual character, it would add volume just as significant as the famous shag.

Curtain bangs are becoming more and more popular in order to appear younger
