Hairstyles for Older Women: 3 Stylish Looks
1. Light Hair Color
If your hair is naturally light, focus on taking care of the overall health of your hair type. If you’re going light by way of bleach or dye, keep one thing in mind: Aging hair tends to have a lack of shine and starts to dull in color. Use a shampoo like Bed Head by TIGI Colour Goddess Oil Infused Shampoo followed with Bed Head by TIGI Colour Goddess Oil Infused Conditioner to strengthen hair, counteract brassiness and boost shine.
2. Loose Salt-and-Pepper Ponytail
Many older women have probably noticed that along with the change of hair color, their texture also began to alter. If your hair is fine and delicate, stick to loose hairstyles like this ponytail to avoid tension on your hair. Use S Factor by TIGI True Lasting Color Hair Oil to finish your style and add a nice shimmer to your hair color. Make your ponytail less boring by accessorizing with a fun hat or hair accessory.
3. The Bouncy Crop
What makes this hairstyle understatedly gorgeous (besides its beautiful gray color) is the amount of body incorporated into the look: not too much, and certainly not too little. To mimic, ask your stylist for a few layers at the back of your hair to help with movement. When styling, use a volumizing mousse like Dove Style+Care Volume Amplifier Mousse and blowdry on medium heat with a round brush, focusing on the roots for height.
