8 Medium-Length Hairstyles for Women Over 50
Medium-length hair, defined by celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble as lob to just past the shoulder, is recommended for women over 50 as hair becomes coarser and drier with age. New York City-based hairstylist Carlyn Griscti advises focusing on moisture. The eight trending styles include face-framing layers, a razor-cut shag by Larry Sims, voluminous curls, a bouncy blowout, curtain fringe, a classic French twist, a mid-length afro, and a textured chignon. Products like ROZ Willow Glen Pre-Wash Hair & Scalp Oil, Flawless by Gabrielle Union 5 Butter Miracle Masque, and Shu Uemura Urban Moisture Deep Hydration Shampoo are mentioned for hydration.
