Yes! Finally an article on mature women’s hair styles that actually use beautiful real life mature women! Thank you. Great article with super photos that I actually want to take to my hairdressers! Thank you
Sadly as fab as these styles are there’s not ONE that my very fine blonde hair would style into 🤷♀️
Same, fine hair!
I know what you mean! I have fine starting to gray straight straight hair!
These styles don’t work for me either
Because the top falls all the time!
Patricia,
I have very fine hair also.
I find the Stacked Bob makes my hair look thick
It’s easy to style also
Try Redkin Powde Grip. Lifesaver
Same here! Exactly
Me too and long and fine, I am getting some gray but I try to keep it dyed I have to do something 😡
Very interesting!!! I wonder about the products you’ve tried, I wonder about your expectations. Over the yrs behind the chair, clients expect hair to do impossible things. I’d love to know more about your haircare. If my hair is too short it is flat, too long and it’s flat. You must find the cut best for all your needs
I feel your pain! Add living in Florida to the mix!
Same, I’m looking to go back to perms
Cheers Stanley,
How very intuitive you are!!!! Love it!!! My curly hair is almost to my waist & i really do not want to cut it. My husband loves it &, to be honest, sometimes a ponytail is all i can manage due to shoulder surgeries. Love Love Love the Deva but wondering if it will still work with longer hair. My hairdresser has decided to retire, and i am at a loss.
Congratulations on your achievement, and Best Wishes for a wonderful Career. You Rock, Cheers
Hi Catriona,
Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciate them as it keeps me motivated to do more.
I can’t recall how many times I got roasted for not showing haircut inspiration for women with long hair. hahaha
And I think you should leave your hair long, Devacut does not work well with longer hair.
Do take care of yourself and rock on your long hair, because you have every reason to do so.
Cheers.
Catriona, my hair is long a curly too. I like a classic Andy McDowel long bob with layers. The layers give shape and allow it to be down without too much weight. When I want to go shorter I like the Madonna hair cut in like a prayer video- shorter layered shoulder-length bob. But Layers are the secret…I think.
I am 56 years old and have long straight fine hair. I wonder. How the curly style you show here would look on my hair?
Go to a store where they sell wigs and try one on to see if you like it!
Again….sadly for a lot of us “aging mature” women,our hair gets finer and thins out drastically. None of these styles would work or look good for us! Very pretty for a small handful of models tho.
Sorry these hair styles are not very flattering. Some older ladies can wear long hair, but most look fresher and younger with shorter styles.
The word would be Diva, not Deva
Wrong! Deva is a brand of products and hair dressers are actually deva certified to cut curly hair
Nope, it’s Deva. It’s a trademarked name for a curly hair cutting and styling method.
Deva is a cutting technique for curly hair
.I am over fifty and I have waist-length dark- blonde hair.
I wear my hair braided, curly, straight, up, down, messy bun and you name it!!!
I do not let age define how I should dress or wear my hair or how I think.
I must be comfortable and happy with myself first.
I’m the same with mid length almost salt and pepper with curls. I do what ever . Half up , messy top bun , two low buns .braids Down with wild curls .I prefer my bangs out of my face so I normally have them pinned back . But a hair style that suits you is the hairstyle you like.
That’s great, but I’ll bet your hair is medium to thick. Those of is with fine hair don’t have the option to wear it that way. I don’t want to let age define me, either, but I can’t pull off wsist length hair!
Good for you, Jane! I feel the same way too about my style of the day! Age is really irrelevant!
Many women of our age wear glasses and that’s a game changer too.
I was a beautician for 30 years. I’m 51. My hair is long and healthy. I want to know why so many people think it’s ok to push any female over 50 into cutting their hair off because they are a certain age?
In many cases. When your older short hair cuts lift your face. Makes you look younger. That’s why some women are willing to cut or wear their hair shorter.
I have long hair about below my shoulder blades.. I don’t want to cut my hair but want it trimmed and layered.. I have natural curly hair my hair is greying in the front the crown.id like to have highlights in my hair until my hair grey’s more..
I think I still look young for my age.. I don’t like short hair..
I have finished chemotherapy in July my hair is growing back pretty good but the ends are so almost like split ends but I keep my hair trimmed and I just don’t know what to do with it
I’m confused on what length I should have. I am 70 but very active. I have a long face with a high forehead. My hair is thin and fine. I live in Texas and hate the excessive sweating in my hair, forehead and on my neck. #1 thing is want to look feminine.
I’ve looked at so many styles and can’t decide what length or style is best for me.
Any ideas for me?
Hi I’m very sweaty due to meds But I think for you and where you live a bob would be great as when it’s washed you just have to brush it into style I always had a bob very short but at moment it’s down to my waist due to not having money but as soon as I do bob here I come Good Luck
