This hairstyle from 50 is particularly classic and elegant. The basis is formed by hairs reaching down to the chest, which are cut in a U-shape. The face is framed by chin-length steps, which loosens up the hairstyle and makes the face appear a little narrower. Especially with dark hair colors like Salma Hayek's, this cut looks very timeless. So if you're wondering what hair length is suitable for women over 50, you're definitely on the safe side with this hairstyle.

If you are currently wearing a short haircut and are about to grow your hair long again, the pixie cut is a good transitional hairstyle. This looks great in a wide variety of lengths and transitions almost smoothly from a short hairstyle to a long hairstyle. Another plus: the maintenance is super easy.

With the "long" pixie cut, you can wash your hair, let it air dry or dry it with a blow dryer - now just add a little styling product and the perfect hairstyle is ready. The secret of this haircut lies in the different levels and texture: a layered haircut that has a lot of volume and movement, but at the same time a shortened length.

One point that you really shouldn't ignore when choosing your hairstyle is the effect of bangs. However, you don't have to take the step to a full fringe or micro bangs, feel your way to the look first with a weird fringe or curtain bangs that flow into the rest of the hair. It's a great way to create a big impact with little effort.

Particularly flattering: the combination of a weird fringe with a bob. The classic haircut is all about giving vitality to the hair, both through layers and the overall length that reaches the chin. The bob falls into shape especially if you first put mousse in the tips of your hair and then blow dry it piece by piece over a round brush.

What does it actually mean when we talk about an undone look? The answer is quite simple: it's about intentionally tousled hair that looks like we've just gotten up. For this cut, you need to wear the hair medium-length up to the collarbone. To give the hairstyle a certain light-heartedness, layers should not be missing. This emphasizes the natural hair structure, so the hairstyle works particularly well with slightly wavy or curly hair. This look also works with straight hair, but then you have a higher styling effort in everyday life, as structure and waves have to be brought into the hair with the help of tools.

If you already have these naturally, it is enough to add a little texture spray to the lengths after washing and blow dry the hair upside down for volume. If you like, you can then twist in individual strands of hair with a small curling iron - but be careful, not too many! The look should still look like it just got up.

Even at over 50 years of age, a hairstyle with longer hair that reaches further than the shoulder looks great. This can also be seen in Jennifer Aniston, who has been true to her medium-length hair for years. How to create a look without looking boring? The secret lies in the cut as well as the color. To create a multi-dimensional look like Aniston's, the hair should be cut in a slight U-shape. The hairstyle looks particularly flattering when the face is framed by chin-length strands. As far as hair color is concerned, you should ask your hairdresser about different shades to make the cut appear fuller. With highlights or a balayage, you can give the hairstyle the right touch.

Styling is then very simple: Blow-dry the hair either with a round brush or use a large curling iron. Curl large strands so that there are gentle waves and no curls.

The lob or long bob is one of the most variable haircuts. It's so versatile because it can be worn completely smooth as well as with volume and a lot of texture. So it fits every hair structure, and you have many options for adding variety when styling. In addition, a side fringe or a strict middle parting gives the whole thing a special touch. The length of the lob is ideally up to the shoulder or chin.

Depending on your styling wishes, you can either straighten the hair, twist curls or use a waver for beach waves. With this length, any styling really works - just try different looks!

Julia Roberts proves that long hair looks great at any age – especially when paired with bangs. This ensures that the hairstyle does not look boring and makes it an eye-catcher. This haircut is particularly suitable for full hair, so that it does not look too thin due to the layered cut and the bangs. The bangs are cut frayed and reach over the eyebrows, on the sides it merges into the steps of the hair on the head. This makes the cut look particularly casual and is well suited for naturally wavy hair that has structure.

This hairstyle looks especially good when the hair is slightly wavy or twisted. To do this, simply curl the hair with a wave iron or curling iron from eye level and blow dry the bangs smooth with a large round brush. You can either wear it fringed in the forehead or part it in the middle like Julia Roberts.

For those who want an easy-care hairstyle that is not a short haircut, but also not too long, a wavy bob is the perfect option. The look differs from a classic bob cut because it is cut a little more layered and not so perfect. The styling then finally makes the difference clear: Here it can be a bit wild and loose. Naomi Watts has been wearing this modern, youthful hairstyle, which French women also love, for a long time and proves how great the wavy bob looks at any age.

The hairstyle is also very versatile, you can wear it parted in the middle or to the side and try different types of curls. Whether elegant Hollywood waves for an evening event, beach waves for a summer day or mermaid waves, there are no limits to your imagination!

We have always envied Sarah Jessica Parker for her hair, but we are particularly taken with her current look: Long hair with blonde highlights. The actress proves once again that hair length has nothing to do with age and that even long hair looks great at over 50. To get into the length dimension, the actress wears blonde highlight in the lengths, which become more and more and lighter at the tips.

The roots are not dyed here, which looks natural on the one hand, and is super practical on the other: You don't have to recolor so often. In this haircut, the face is framed by two shorter sections cut at chin level, which emphasizes the wagon bones. The rest of the hair is slightly graded at the bottom to further support the multi-dimensional look of the hair color.

Do you like it eye-catching? Then this look is for you: Nicole Kidman proves how good hair looks in platinum blonde. Platinum blonde hair goes particularly well with people who have a cool undertone in skin color and a light skin tone in general. You can wear the shade with a wide variety of cuts - it looks great as a bob, but a pixie cut and medium-length hair, like Nicole Kidman wears, also work well. With this color, you may have to visit your trusted hairdresser a little more often, but you will get a real wow effect. Before dyeing, ask your hairdresser whether platinum blonde could suit you and your skin tone and think together about what cut is possible for your hair.
