Fall fashion is the buzz word that we keep discussing and repeating it ad nauseam, yet, have you ever given your hair the seasonal reset? As the autumnality starts creeping in with its fresh air and sweater weather slowly returning back, your hairstyle should also have a fall debut. Should you go lighter? Lean into your grays? Try a layered cut that feels effortless but polished? Are you in doubt over what to do next to your looks particularly when you are in your fabulous 50s and so on then I have you. So, here we go with an idea of some new wearable fall hairstyles for women over 50 in 2025 that can make you feel good, up-to-date and totally yourself.
Soft Blonde Layers With Undone Volume
Shoulder-length, all layered, blonde hair with that bit of muss to it–there is something out-and-out luxe about it, like it was taken out of a Parisian bistro with fresh croissants after not even making an effort. The hairstyle is constructed of voluntary layers of feathers, which are blown by the wind, slightly designed to hold it in the end. The form that is a bit off-center provides it with a contemporary frame, whereas the creamy platinum-blonde color creates an uplift that is very effective against the more down-cast colours of autumn wardrobes.
This kind of a cut feeds on the volume at the roots and softness at the ends. My hair advice pre-styling is to always do a round brush blowout and always to spray volumizing mousse such as the Oribe Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse into the hair and that provides that not too crunchy plumped-up effect. You will also need to bring out the blonde with a violet shampoo every other wash to avoid it getting forgotten as the season transits.
Individually, I have always liked this type of texture since it appears to be polished without overdoing it. It is the type of cut to wear when you are assembled in a blazer at work or when you are in a turtleneck and a pair of jeans doing your errands at the weekend. It’s fall in hair form—effortless but intentional.
This style is perfect for transitional weather. Perhaps you have been recently thinking about shedding long lengths or even lightening up then this could be the little push that the universe gives you.
Face-Framing Balayage With Natural Brunette Depth
This is the dream should you wish something that is very flattering but without taking the plunge to change fully. The haircut lies beautifully below the shoulders and it is soft with slight rounded edges. The thing that truly takes it to the next level, however, is the face-framing balayage that is, those honey-colored streaks with which your face is immediately lit up. It has a natural structure provided by its brunette foundation, yet the streaks make it look warm and refreshing at the same time.
This type of balayage does not require so much maintenance which is very fortunate during this busy season as schools resume and the holidays approach. I would suggest introducing the use of a weekly moisture mask such as the Kerrastase Nutritive Masquintense to help retain shine and softness as well, though most especially after having lightened the face area.
The best thing I can say about this look is that it is classic, however, not boring. It possesses that rich mom hair vibe, but none of that tight and old-fashioned feeling. The difference in the appearance of my skin tone was astounding when I attempted something like this last fall and it appeared warmer and brighter. It’s a little change that makes a big impact.
And here is the thing: it is somehow thrilling when there is a cheap-looking expensive cut without a lot of hard labor involved. That’s real luxury.
Wispy Layers With Casual Movement
The problem is that this type of cut is the one you always feel as though was created just to suit your hair type. The barely-there layers have shoulder length and are carved at the best spots to let you display your natural movement. The face is framed with soft bangs swept on the side and combined with the pieces. It is like the hair cut of your favorite worn in cashmere sweater.
What this cut loves: air-drying. If you want to go heat-free more often (and honestly, who doesn’t?), this style looks fantastic with just a bit of texturizing spray. I have been applying the Bumble and bumble Surf Spray, and it creates that laid back look that does not deflate at 2 p.m.
This is a small anecdote: last fall, one of my readers reached me by email: after a certain attempt at something like this cut. According to her, it made her feel like herself once more- like her hair finally met her energy. Isn’t that what we all want in a haircut?
This style is not attempting to look like some other thing, but beautiful and real. It is multi-purpose, looks fresh and is far enough to be trendy.
Brunette with Buttery Ends and Middle-Part Cool
Now this one—this cut has edge. But it is long, very long it is: those ends are shaved enough to give it swing and attitude. The rich brunette bottom borders almost uniting with the buttery ends, and the middle section supports a well balanced silhouette. It’s confident without being loud, sexy without being overdone. I call it “polished rebellion.”
The thing is that long hair past 50 should not be uninspiring or dull. This reduce shows that length still can be current in case the color and shape are done in a proper way. Pro tip? Apply a very thin smoothing cream such as Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream you won t want your ends to get weighed down with it.
The change it happens with a clean middle part fascinates me every time. It attracts attention to the lower end of the face, adds structure, and somewhat makes the cheekbones stand out. For me, it’s a power move.
We are scared to wear bold lines and middle portions as they are too young, but this thing is debunked. It’s bold, but grown-up.
Salt-and-Pepper Glam with Body and Shine
Salt-and-pepper, silver, gray is whatever it is called, but this is the hair right now. This style relishes on the natural color in the most glamorous style by layering the strands to create the volume and then allowing those silvery streaks to contour the face like a soft lightening. It is really long and just provides layering enough to make it bouncy. You can consider it as classic style with a twist of modernity.
Maintaining silver tones that look intentional (not faded) means investing in a good silver toning shampoo. I have been extremely pleased with Redken Color Extend Graydiant Shampoo-it cleanses and evens out tone and puts a hint of shine back in. Round-brush blowout will provide you with the volume and shine that this cut flourishes in.
When I see such a person going down with his/her grays with such an intent and such elegance, I find myself inspired. It’s not just about color—it’s about ownership. This type of hair screams, I know what I am and I know I am beautiful.
Let your hair tell your story. This one goes, I am mature, I am glowing and I will no longer justify one or the other.
Feathered Champagne Layers With Side-Swept Movement
This is a hairstyle that is an utter whisper, it is so light and airy, and so beautiful in its simplicity. The layered strands are gently slanted falling a little shy of the collarbone and swinging in a way that sparkles all sorts of lights around her. This style is unique because of its natural champagne-blonde hue, it is not too cool, it is not too warm, and you must look amazing in it during fall when your complexion needs some slight accentuation. The face is made open by the side-swept volume that does not commit to the bang which I personally love.
Such cuts are done on light layering sprays and a good round brush. To shine and protect, I prefer Davines OI All In One Milk this prevent hair from getting out of shape, but are not sticky. Also, since the tone is relatively light, I would be temped to brush using a sulfate-free shampoo to keep the color as well as the color vibrancy.
I believe this style is soft and many women past 50 years of age will feel this need when it comes to cooler weather when perfect structure is not in mind but may more in mind, glow. I gave this style of cut a go last October and it looked gorgeous with both more fashionable attire and with a casual denim feel.
It is the type of hair cut people do not need to explain. It just works.
Wavy Gray Lob With Face-Lit Brightness
It is a style that fits everyone, that seems to fit on a seaside artist- it is carefree, glowing, and flavor of slightly dishevelled. The hair falls to a shade just below the shoulders with gravelly, sun-kissed ribbons of silver and steel. The tumbling waves prevent feeling all stiff and the shape makes itself more like a good contour covering the cheekbones. The thing that pops in this one is the highlights about the face which instantly brightens up and makes the whole look look energetic.
The style adores heatless waves and texture spray–much less is more. For shine without heaviness, I recommend Virtue Healing Oil. It seals ends and gives just enough polish. And if your grays need a tone refresh? Use a soft lilac conditioner once a week (I use Aveda’s Blue Malva myself).
I cannot even number the times I tell my girlfriends that they should not center the full potential of embracing their grays purposely. When done well, they don’t age you—they elevate you. And this style confirms that salt-and-pepper does not have to be flat and monotonous but dimensional and young.
It is artistic, fresh and downright natural, which suits perfectly women who want to go with what they got, but also not having to sacrifice style.
Textured Chocolate Bob With Curtain Bangs
Okay—this is where chic meets French-girl edge. This layered bob has a rich chocolate base that makes it deep enough to fit fall, and it happens to hit the jawline in the middle to create structure. However, the interesting thing is its broken-up texture and curtain bangs. Irrespective of being soft, they seem not too heavy and excessive on the face. It is among those fall hairstyles of women over 50 concepts 2025 that appears equally fantastic in casual and in smooth versions.
A wax-based texturizer is always a nice texture enhancer here, and Kristin Ess Depth Defining Soft Matte Pomade is excellent in adding a bit of piece-y-ness without getting too heavy. And if your hair is naturally fine? Spray the roots with a dry volume spray to add some oomph on the roots.
Such haircut provides me with the best of downtown energy. It made me feel like this when I was in a transition stage, bold, up to something new, and yet completely myself.
It’s a power cut in disguise: polished but playful.
Blended Blonde Layers With Side Part Bounce
You know that feeling when your hair just… bounces? That’s exactly what this cut delivers. It is long and layered but purposefully- those ends are carved so that they can turn a page to add life and form. The color? Champagne, ash-blonde It is surfed in sunshine because it blends, has an easier grow-out because of its darker root. And that side part—it’s timeless and universally flattering.
Such appearance looks perfect with a large, deep round-brush blowout. I blow-dry the ends and to make them behave I apply Joico Youthlock Blowout Crme that provides enough hold without making my hair stiff. And honestly? That formula mix relieves the need to go to salons that urgently, and this is a blessing in the making as the holidays near.
That was what I liked most about this style always as it is quite versatile. It can be paired with a couchy sweater or a tailored blazer and still looks fancy. It’s approachable, elegant, and a little flirty.
It is to-go when you need to be done but you still do not want to pretend that you made too much effort.
Warm Honey Lob With Lazy Wave Texture
This is fall warmth in hair form. The soft cut is a lob where the shoulders are lightly touched and there is minimum layering to maintain the fullness. The color–honey tones threaded through a darker root that is going to give you color in your cheeks even as the days become shorter. The texture is laid-back, slightly waved, and refreshingly real.
The key to this look? Effortless styling. I find a 1.25 wand to give it some lazy looking bends and rake with fingers. Leave to dry with IGK Beach Club Texture Spray which is not crunchy. And this, too: it is a perfect length in case you wish to be both casual and stylish during fall.
This haircut takes me back to one of my most favorite fall times of the year-pumpkin lattes, giant sweaters, a walk through the farmers market. It is casual, cozy and fluffy in a desirable manner.
At least, in good faith, should you be in the mood to be torn between two things in this season, this could be your safe and yet gorgeous choice.
Layered Silver Pixie With Tousled Volume
The short, voluminous silver cut is bold, sculptural and wildly elegant in making a serious statement. The pixie-like cut has heavier top layers and feathered tips, which instigate lift and softness at the right places. It is an ideal style to achieve something expressive and full of personality but polished at the same time. The silver base is beautiful too: it gives a glow, it plays with light, it accents cheekbones and flaunts the bone structure.
A little product play does well with such short styles. I apply R+Co Rodeo Star Thickening Style Foam to the crown area to add volume and top it off with a dry texture paste that is used to contour pieces. It embraces its shape and does not feel crunchy which is so important.
Whenever I watch this cut I say to myself, she knows who she is. It is a powerful thing to embrace something shorter: it exudes clarity, direction and the perfect dose of cool. Fall in particular when we are all desperate to have some structure after more laid back summer.
Got the feeling your long hair was getting to heavy? It is your stylish rejuvenation now.
Multi-Layered Long Silver With Modern Face Frame
Discuss the silver manes, it consists of layers, it is long and free and well styled. The face framing fringe evens out the shape of the silhouette where the layers add lift and motion all over. And what is special is the mix of the silvery tones which is used-steely gray to subtle pearl reflections- what gives it depth and visual appeal without having to dye it.
When you sport your hair this long you have to make a weekly mask. I can not stop using Pureology Strength Cure Superfood Treatment-it keeps the ends moisturized and prevents frizz. The layers also stand out with a distinct soft wave that is made with a wide barrel curler.
This is the question women wonder, can I still wear long hair when I am above 50? And my word is–if it moves, glitters, and flatterers you, by all means. This look is the perfect example. It is not too long and not hopeful of making the face look younger but modern instead.
Silver is powerful when you wear it with intention. This look turns heads in the best way.
Golden Brown Butterfly Layers With Soft Curtain Bangs
If you’re after movement, this butterfly-layered style is practically begging to be your next fall hair upgrade. It has longer trailing layers and shorter strands embracing the face to give that dreamy, full-body look that became a trend on TikTok. The golden brown shades of hair are smooth and warm and it makes one believe that she has a thicker hair and glowing complexion. And the soft curtain bangs? They’re the cherry on top—gentle, framing, and totally forgiving.
As a tip to maintain this one looking floating and lightweight, I adore Color Wows Dream Coat, especially in humidity. It smoothens but does not flatten; something fundamental to the volume-rich cuts such as this one. Round brush dry (biggest round) and flick the ends.
The advantage of the butterfly layers is that it suits covering them up at any age- it provides structure, emphasizes collarbones, and helps in lifting the whole face. When I received an identical cut in the fall people insisted on asking whether I had lost weight or worn a different makeup. Nope—just new layers!
It is meant for anyone who desires a free-flowing yet childlike style yet is polished in a grown-woman kind of way.
Soft Blonde Shag With Wispy Volume
It is so light, beachy, and wearable, with an endless supply of feathered edges, delicately shaggy layers, and plenty of the volume where it counts. The long, wavy locks begin cheekbones and go down, and the mix of creamy-blond provides light and texture. It’s got that lived-in feel but still looks intentional, like you just walked out of an upscale salon (without the fuss).
This chop looks best when it is styled with volume foam and some dry texture spray. My fave of all times is Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse which makes everything look and feel touchable but gives lift and protection.
To me, this look says “relaxed but refined.” It brings to mind that time in fall when you pull out your all-time favorite oversized cardigan, prepare something warm to drink, and leave your hair to its own devices and devices in the best way.
A contemporary shag such as this one co-operates with your texture, rather than tortures it. It’s freedom in a haircut.
Creamy Blonde Shoulder Layers With Airy Fringe
This one’s just pure softness. The face is softly entrenched in the shoulder-grazing waves, and the fluffy, airy fringe makes it look a bit breezy, to counteract the length. It is a classic beautiful shape in creamy (almost pearlescent) blonde color that makes the eyes brighter and fitting every skin type. Everything about this style is light—visually and emotionally.
This is a great candidate for air-drying. I use to work in Innersense I Create Volume Lotion to make the fringe bouncy but the shape natural. You may make it last a few days by adding a little dry shampoo to the crown as well.
I am a very strong fringe fan, it is a very subtle form of self-confidence. The bang does not get very sharp to make a statement. In some cases, such subtle framing can bring a lift to your entire face.
In the mood to cut the drama and ramp up the wow-factor in fall? Then this could be your perfect change.
Defined Silver Curls With Natural Contrast
It feels so fun and contented to be able to make curls curvy-it feels even better to make them defined and form spirals-and the mixture of this amazing silver realization makes the end result exceptionally wonderful. The length is just above the shoulders and thus gives a great shape but does not dominate the face. The presence of dark lowlights all over the silver accentuates the curl pattern making it more bounced out and defined.
Curly hair loves moisture. Ouidad Curl Quencher Hydrafusion Intense Curl Cream is loyal to me in regard to hydration, as well as frizziness. I tend to scrunch it when the hair is wet and have it air dry or diffuse on low after spraying it liberally with a product that creates maximum definition.
I adore this cut because it delineates the face by using the motion as the frame rather than mass. Are you one of those who were afraid to own your curls and were waiting to get this message? It is all that a fall haircut can be systematic, comfortable and self-confident.
The best part? It doesn’t chase trends. It stands on its own.
Collarbone Blonde With Lifted Layers
This is the type of a haircut that never goes wrong. Layers are long and had a subtle flip on the ends to add lift and shape with the loss of length. A flattering soft mixture of buttery blonde and sandy shades gives its elegant finish to flatters any skin color especially when the summer season begins to lighten things down a little by the onset of autumn.
To preserve this style with some bounce, I would apply something like a root lifting spray, such as the Aveda volumisizing tonic-this spray will add bounce and can be applied when you are ready to blow-dry. It provides that lifted feeling on the crown, which is not sticky and firm.
This cut reminds me of quiet confidence. It neither yells nor screams, it is not a billboard, but you still manage to see it anyway. and it is also so wearable, and it is ideal for people like me who don t need to work on their daily style simply because it looks great.
This is where to start, should you want to look put-together, but casual-cool this season.
Romantic Bun With Soft Cascading Tendrils
Most often, elegant hairstyles do not need to be fancy, and this disheveled bun is an illustration to that fact. Thanks to its side-parted gentle and soft face-framing tendrils, it exudes a classic femininity touch and a bit of bohemian mood. It is a type of a style that will be as comfortable at a fall wedding, as late brunch with girl friends.
Em I prefer to pre-style this kind with some texturizing spray such as Amika Un.Done Volume and Matte Texture Spray to give the bun a bit of grip and some soft hold on the front bits. It can be easily held by a couple of bobby pins and a flexible hairspray so that it does not lose mobility.
Personally, I love this look for more dressed-up days. It feels artistic, relaxed, and fresh. You do not have to have great curls and defined lines, you only need a bit of softness and form.
Sometimes the simplest updos tell the richest stories.
Long Silver Curls With Dimensional Highlights
And with this volumeneous wealth of curls on her head, there is something essentially magical. Here the texture is soft and well defined, cut in long, even layers, accentuating the salt-and-pepper color to great advantage. The highlights are just in place to reflect the light around the face to provide the entire appearance a lifted look.
Moisture and some love required in this type of curl definition. I never skip DevaCurl SuperCurl Coconut Curl Stryler when my hair is soaking wet prior to plopping or diffusing that thing seals the curl and gives beyond amazing shine.
Whenever I encounter this cut what comes into mind are ladies who have been able to learn how to fall in love with their natural texture once more. It’s joyful. It’s unbothered. It’s completely alive.
And fall is the best time to make hair such as this wild and free- cozy layers and big curls? Yes, please.
Dimensional Brunette With Natural Lift
This brunette style is simple, glossy, and beautifully dimensional and everything is just working in its favor. It has the form of a long slightly inclined shape that falls elegantly on the shoulders. Perfectly placed caramel balayage adds light on the ends and makes the eyes shine, and the deep base makes it dark and rich.
To keep that shine? I vow by Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil, it leaves shine and volume, particularly when the product is used on the ends when the hair is done. Should you fancy a sleek appearance you can flat-iron, or should you prefer wearing it with a light wave, depending on the mood you want to create.
I, myself, adore this fall look since it goes with all types of ensembles, be it cosy plaids or your beloved little black blazer. It is classic but never simplistic and un-fashion crazy.
There’s something quietly luxurious about brunette done this well. It’s your hair, just upgraded.
Windswept Bob With S-Curve Texture
It is an expression, which I refer to as the smart bob. It is smooth and casual, but not too smooth, there are natural curves and swags that imbue this design with carefree quality. It also starts precisely at the level of the jaw and angles back a little that visually elevates the face, and that is one thing we adore, no matter what the age. It is such a perfect fall hair color, with golden blonde and a few darker lowlights.
I keep this kind of texture going with a diffuser and a sea salt spray like Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe. It enhances the shape without going crunchy. And if you wear glasses? This is a perfect cut that does not lose its fullness by clearing the frame. It’s so wearable.
I have experimented with a kind of version of this bob when I used to travel more- short hair takes less time to make up (less combing!), and it has the effect of making you feel up to date without being too pointy or severe..
This is fall layering for your face. Simple, flattering, and smart.
Shoulder-Length Layers With Soft Curtain Fringe
There are hairstyles that you can relate to as your favorite cup of tea, warm and just too right. One of them is this shoulder-length soft layers and curtain bangs hairdo. The brunette base of the chocolate is wonderfully complemented by caramel highlights, and the fringe is given only enough framing, so one does not need to take care of it on the regular basis.
In the morning all one needs to reinvigorate this look is a light texturizing product and a delicate wave with a flat iron. I prefer Drybar Triple Sec hold and volume with a fragrant hint that makes you feel chic even when you are in the rush.
The thing I love about this one is that it is not too edgy and not too classic. The right amount of in-between when the ladies want to move, but also have the need to stash it behind the ears when the times are so demanding.
It’s low-key beautiful. Quietly transformative.
Glossy Face-Framed Layers With Long Curtain Bangs
This is the one, face-framing cut that stands out of the crowd in case you are willing to embrace the soft side. Its long length lacks weightiness, acoustically defined by the well-portioned layers around the cheekbones and the jawline. The bang-down style of curtain is incorporated into the rest of the style to give it a grown-up feel of a Gen Z classic. The chocolate-and-walnut balayage adds that perfect fall richness.
The best way to maximize the length and maintain them at those ends is Olaplex i;*6 Bond Smoother, particularly, when you color your hair. It will contain the softness, and also aid in making your locks withstand the frizz on the cold, dry days.
I have observed that this cut can suit any type of hair and the cut flows with customer and not the opposite. And curtain bangs are surprisingly low-effort. This may be the solution, in case you are at the stage between hairstyles.
It is an everlasting silhouette with a tinge of trend. That sweet spot.
Golden Brunette Spirals With Rooted Depth
Volume, warmth, and a whole lot of curl. This fall hairstyle is best of all appropriate to the season- there is the sound of the leaves, the layers, the spice. The chop promotes ringlets to go about their business, supplemented by deep roots and golden bronze dimension. It falls slightly beyond the shoulders and this enables the curls to pile and bounce without bulging the face.
These sorts of curls are supported by co-washing, and a moisturizing agent such as Pattern Beauty Leave-In Conditioner by Tracee Ellis Ross. It is also structured, but not stiff and reveals the depth of brunette curls in a dream.
The style is recollective of the feeling of that rinky-dink friday-night-in-octobers-at-the-beginning-of-the-actual-autumn-even-though-it-does-not-feel-more-than-a-mug-of-wine-and-cozy-knits-type. It’s soft and bold all at once.
This style should change you in case you have been doubtful of the idea of going curly at the age of 50 or more.
Polished Blonde Lob With Sweeping Ends
This one is elegance in motion. this cut has a more traditional and modern appeal to it because the edges are angled and have slight layering which is quite different to a long bob. The hue is multi-dimensional blonde colored with beige and honey, which introduced softness on the face. It is the type of style that makes you feel like you are ready with or without the blue jeans and non-make ups.
With the flat brush, blowing dries last part of the hair with this polished bend at the ends. To make the movement look better and avoid boredom, I vow upon K mane cosmetics Kerastase Elixir Ultime L Huile Original Hair Oil. It adds mirror-level shine without weighing things down.
This is a power cut. Boardroom to bookstore, it doesn’t blink. And it looks lovely with the richer fall lip-colors, and tailored coats.
When your style is suave but you prefer ease, then this lob is your lane.
Warm Chestnut Bob with Loose Curls
I fell in love with the first style as its volume seems perfectly easy and its chocolatey in dimensions. It is a delicately processed chin-length bob which is done in a lovable carefree coils that do not look staged in any way but were simply run in as you please. The shade is snuggly warm chestnut with toffee undertone. This combination does not make the face appear overdone and quite frankly, it is unflattering to a variety of skin tones. The hair is curled aside and against the face, the effect is stylish, but deliberately un-tarlored.
The non-heat punch on this type of texture is very slight, only requiring a quick pass around a large barrel curling iron to keep the shape (like a large barrel curling iron) and a few spritzes of lightweight mousse to define the finer parts of the style. My favorite of this type of hold with no crunch is the R+Co Aircraft Pomade Mousse. You don’t want anything that weighs the curls down. And yes, those ends will not be weary because of frequent cuts.
I’ve noticed this haircut gives me a freedom I didn’t expect—perfect on rainy fall days when frizz happens, but somehow still looks intentional. One of my best friends took this cut last year and she told me that it was the first time she could not wait to style her hair.
It might be simple, but it’s never boring. The real trick? A hot knit and a loud lip and you have the perfect combo akin to your cup of chai.
Face-Framing Layers with Dimensional Blonde
Now this one—it’s almost too good. Coupled with perfectly trimmed layers that lack the awkwardness of shoulder length hair. The middle section makes it contemporary, but it is the creamy-colored plops on darker roots that works its magic. I like something about such contrast that gives the movement to something that is still standing on the floor. This has been a look that has done miracles on enhancing facial features without ever being styled.
Maintaining such blonde as fabulous and not relying on the ugly side of brassiness does require some effort. I would suggest a decent purple shampoo-I prefer Amika tone control shampoo, as it does not leave hair dry. A weekly hydrating mask is also not negotiable when that silky movement is what you are after.
I believe that this style is particularly powerful when done by women in their 50s since it mixes energy of youth and confidence of maturity. I recall one of the stylists had stated, the hair you have when you are 50 years old should state the following, I am still alive and I know what I am. This cut says just that.
What’s missing? Perhaps only a navy trench coat and a long city walk with the headphones on.
Long Butter-Blonde Waves with Effortless Elegance
With this long and flowing style, there is a certain beauty to the motion picture. The rays are falling and tumbling in soft curves so easily catching the refracted light due to that light butter-blonde hue. It is an old fashioned style yet never boring- it seems to be abundant, healthy and romantic, such as you would buy at a refreshing coffee outing on a saturday morning. It is plenty without a drama and everything surrounding it speaks in whispers of aestheticism.
For this much length and softness, hydration is key. I take an oath of Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector once a week and a leave-in conditioner with sunblock–considering that blonde shades may fade fast in the dying fall light. The big-barreled curling iron prevents those waves to appear to nice and even.
I am a fan of long hair on ladies past the age of 50 so to me, this is very empowering. Just because it is a new decade, there is no need to cut everything off. It is more about the hair movement, light and sensation of it, and this style confirms it.
The only thing I would change would be the possibility of soft curtain bangs to bring another touch of freshness. They would be so pretty in contrast to waves as they have turtlenecks and warm scarves everywhere in October.
Voluminous Ivory Curls with a Modern Twist
There has been a misconception about what curly hair is but this style is rectifying this. The soft locks of ivory seen here are not tight and frizzy, they are floppy and intact and styled comfortably that frames the face. The length is a little above the shoulder that makes it bouncy without worrying about its weight and the texture in its entirety is intentional. It is a contemporary redesign of a vintage curvy bob, the kind of statement that says confidence, cheerfulness, and inherent beauty.
The perfect preparation is associated with this type of curl. I suggest Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel particularly at the transition of dry and damp climate in fall. Apply on damp hair, diffuse and do not touch until dry. A silk pillowcase helps preserve the shape overnight.
When I see this kind of hairstyle, I think of walks in crisp air and warm sweaters—it has that approachable elegance that doesn’t scream for attention but gets it anyway. It is evidence that natural curl is trendy, just like any other flat ironed style.
To get the style exact, sometimes a racy side part will compliment these curls even further to make them seem even more charged and giving you the impression of a higher lift and drama on one side.
Short Platinum Bob with Youthful Texture
Crisp and delicate, this short platinum bob exudes edgy and rebellious attitude, but at the same time it is utterly sophisticated. The ends are jagged, rather than blunt which gets a natural volume and that we, all know, undone texture. The platinum shade is bold yet not overwhelming, it sends light in the most flattering manner bringing the complexion to a brighter and more awake state.
Keeping platinum fresh and healthy takes work, no doubt. One to two times a week, I apply Fanola No Yellow Shampoo, so I could avoid any brassiness and then apply a nutritive mask such as Amika Soulfood. It is a mix that rescues me against fried ends in hard, windy days of fall.
The aspect I like about this cut is its boldness and the fact that it does not require length. It’s cool, it’s flattering, and it grows out beautifully. Celebrity colorguru Tracey Cunningham is a staunch believer that you should never be afraid to be blonde no matter how old. Age is just a number, she says, it is a “tone thing and a damage control thing”. I couldn’t agree more.
The only change I would possibly put here, would be a light undercut at the back to make it easy to lift the crown. Subtle, but powerful.
