What are flattering hairstyles for women 55 and over?

Layered hairstyles generally look good on women over 55 because the layers help soften features and create a look of fullness that can make the face look younger. Women over 55 do not need to rely on short hair in order to look younger when they have a stylist who can create face framing layers with complementary hair color that pairs well with their skin tone.

Layered hair also helps create texture and fullness that disappear as women age. Hormonal changes cause hair thinning, and short hair styles can look stringy or sparse. Women over 55 should avoid blunt bangs that can make features look harsh and ask a stylist for side swept bangs or have the front part styled into face framing layers.
