Losing some of your hair\u2019s length is a natural phenomenon as you age, and by 50, that phenomenon starts to get very noticeable. In short, you\u2019ll naturally find yourself asking about medium length hairstyles as you age over 50.<\/p>\n

However, most people above 50 don\u2019t care very much about their hairstyles anymore, making it generally difficult to find medium length hairstyles for women over 50.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, you no longer have to ask around, as we\u2019ve compiled the 50 best medium length hairstyles for women over 50.<\/p>\n

Medium Length Hairstyles for Women Over 50<\/h2>\n

\"50<\/p>\n

1. Natural Layered Curly Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Natural
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I doubt my hair would even let me replicate something remotely close to this when I\u2019m 84 (she\u2019s 84), so I can just hope. If you\u2019re blessed enough to have this volume by 84, wearing curly natural layers is enough to make you stand out.<\/p>\n

2. Centre-parted Gray Mid-Length Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Centre-parted
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hiding that natural gray is common among women over 50, but do you have to? This mid-length cut says a resounding \u201cno,\u201d with its insanely adorable look despite being in the natural gray.<\/p>\n

3. Spring Medium Length Hairstyle with Wavy Ends <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Spring
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The adorable look of the center parting from earlier is no coincidence; here\u2019s a repeat of that feat, only that this is even more alluring. Thanks to the waviness and sleek texture, it\u2019s easily one of the prettiest styles in this collection.<\/p>\n

4. Mixed Blonde and Red Colored Neck-Length Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Mixed
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why choose a single hair color when you can mix two to achieve a combined alluring look? The dimensional blonde and red look here is already adorable, but the center parting only adds extra cherries on top.<\/p>\n

5. Chic Blonde Mid-Length Layered Hairstyle <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Chic
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This blonde medium length hairstyle works excellently for older ladies with hair of considerable length. Most of us won\u2019t be part of that set by 50, but for those that would be, this blonde style is an excellent choice.<\/p>\n

6. Messy Blonde Bob with Layers and Bangs<\/h3>\n
\"Messy
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Who says you can\u2019t rock an adorable messy blonde at 50? They’re not referring to this lady, who\u2019d rather take her chances with a dimensional messy blonde, and I\u2019ll say it looks rather chic.<\/p>\n

7. Medium-Length Haircut with Full Fringe<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Medium-Length
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even if you previously weren\u2019t into fringes, the full fringe on this medium length haircut should change your mind. Hairstyles like this want you to wish you\u2019re older, so you can get that dimensional brown-gray look.<\/p>\n

8. Tri-Coloured Butterfly Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Tri-Coloured
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Talking of dimensional styles, have you ever considered adding a flashy color to your brown hair? This illustration shows it might not be the worst idea after all; instead, it looks endearing, especially with those bangs.<\/p>\n

9. Classic Brown Side-Parted Butterfly Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Classic
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most ladies under 50 can\u2019t boast of this size and volume, so if you\u2019re lucky enough to have this in your fifties, you should by all means try something like this. The side-swept look works hand-in-hand with the layers to deliver a near-perfect look in this butterfly cut.<\/p>\n

10. Chic Medium Length Haircut with Layers <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Chic
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That smile is only possible for ladies with such an adorable feathered haircut at 50. Apart from the layers, this hairstyle has no bells and whistles, and it manages to look just right.<\/p>\n

11. Textured Bright Blonde Haircut with Bold Bangs<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Textured
@bristolhairdressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bangs can be the difference between good and great as it has done in this alluring haircut. For blonde ladies with medium length hair<\/a>, replicating this charming style is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

12. Neck-Length Wavy Bob with Bangs <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Neck-Length
@artisticallyblessedsalon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can argue this hairstyle is rather short, but it\u2019s impossible to argue about its allure. The neck length seems perfect for the wavy bob, and the side-swept bangs add that extra flair that makes the style pop.<\/p>\n

13. Simple Shoulder-Length Blonde Hair<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Simple
@artisticallyblessedsalon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If wavy bobs don\u2019t tick the boxes for you, this shoulder-length blonde hairstyle should do the trick. It doesn\u2019t have that characteristic bob look, but the side parting and sleek, reserved look makes it one of the best medium length hairstyles for women over 50.<\/p>\n

14. Full Mid-Length Curly Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Full
@debnycurl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nothing feels better than curls that show just how outstanding your hair\u2019s volume is. This hairstyle looks perfect in brown, but black-haired ladies shouldn\u2019t be scared to try it too.<\/p>\n

15. Natural Gray Curly Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Natural
@julesmoorestudio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you feel ready to wear your natural gray with pride, this style will be waiting to help you make the most of your gray hair. Like the preceding idea, it\u2019s curly, chic, and best for medium-length hair.<\/p>\n

16. Crystal Gray Bob Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Crystal
@thefinelinemag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You don\u2019t have to color your hair as you age; gray can also be beautiful. With this adorable crystal gray bob<\/a> and the chic side-parting, I shouldn\u2019t need to do extra work on convincing you.<\/p>\n

17. Bombshell Blonde Layered Bob Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Bombshell
@thefauxblond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dimensional bobs are naturally my thing, but this one is just on another level. The sleek, layered look, the charming side-parting, and her brilliant smile; everything about this hairstyle just feels right.<\/p>\n

18. Side-parted High Wolf Haircut with Layers <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Side-parted
@the_silver_canuck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you want to turn heads at the next event you attend, try this side-parted high wolf cut<\/a>. The bold gray color and high styling already do most of the work, the dimensional look only adds that extra touch for perfection.<\/p>\n

19. Soft Wavy Gray Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Soft
@theresegoesgray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most ladies over 50 can replicate this style naturally, especially if you started going gray a bit early. As a natural fan of waves, this hairstyle instantly resonated with me, with the side parting being the sole cherry on top.<\/p>\n

20. Minimalist Mid-Length Haircut with Fringe<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Minimalist
@styledbychrissie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you manage to have natural brown hair<\/a> by age 50, you should try this minimalist cut. Despite not being hard to replicate, it would be incredibly dishonest to suggest it\u2019s not an alluring hairstyle.<\/p>\n

21. Mid-Length Haircut with High Spiky Side Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Mid-Length
@boudoirbydominiquedavid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve seen a head-turning high spike earlier, but this idea is another excellent one to consider. Despite using the natural and oft-avoided gray color, it manages to look nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n

22. Mid-Length Feminine Bob <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Mid-Length
@the_silver_canuck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re on the more voluminous side, you should be able to replicate this mid-length bob by 50. I\u2019m not sure what I like better about this hairstyle; its adorable side parting or the chic gray-brown dimensional look.<\/p>\n

23. Mid-Length Haircut with Curls and Bangs <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Mid-Length
@acertainvintage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Blonde ladies on the younger side of the spectrum will appreciate an idea like this. If you\u2019re wondering why it looks so good, it\u2019s because of the creative use of curls and bangs to create a lovely mid-length style.<\/p>\n

24. Gray Curly Hair with Bangs <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Gray
@acertainvintage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This curly bob-like style with bangs is an excellent hairstyle idea for older women ready to ditch the dye. Interestingly, the gray here didn\u2019t disfigure the style; rather, it introduced a dimensional look that made the cut perfect.<\/p>\n

25. Silver Statement Medium Length Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Silver
@acertainvintage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s another brilliant example of gray making hairstyles<\/a> several times more adorable by introducing a dimensional look. The side parting here is another excellent touch; don\u2019t ignore it.<\/p>\n

26. Blonde Mid-Length Haircut with Gray Touchings <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Blonde
@acertainvintage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Leaving your gray untouched takes some effort, but it came out better than I even thought it would. The center parting adorns the style beautifully, and her bright smile makes everything pop.<\/p>\n

27. Summer Side-Parted Medium Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Summer
@acertainvintage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This side-parted haircut is a no-brainer for blonde quinquagenarians with the volume to replicate it. Its side-swept, layered look is essentially perfect, and the model\u2019s smile only adds extra flair.<\/p>\n

28. Brown and Gray Natural Curly Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Brown
@acertainvintage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s another exciting combination of brown and gray that helps you make the most of your old age. The curls on this style add extra allure, and incorporating a side parting makes it one of the best medium length hairstyles for women over 50.<\/p>\n

29. Classic Gray Wavy Haircut<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Classic
@gorgeouslyaging<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If it\u2019s possible to choose our graying pattern by 50, this is exactly what I\u2019d choose. It\u2019s not exactly shaggy, but it\u2019s textured in a way that makes me want to grow up quickly. The wavy look also adds that extra touch that makes the style pop.<\/p>\n

30. Silver Butterfly Haircut with Fringe <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Silver
@thefauxblond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A simple layered haircut<\/a> should give you an outstanding look if you have enough volume, but like this model, you can choose to make it even better with a fringe. Overall, this is one of my favorite styles so far.<\/p>\n

31. Chic Bob Haircut for Older Women <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Chic
@prettyoverfifty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This minimalist bob is practical for most 50-year-olds, and it looks insanely adorable as well. The side parting is just perfect, and her smile makes me want to grow older; a classic 10\/10 hairstyle.<\/p>\n

32. Warm Blonde Wavy Haircut<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Warm
@harrah.brown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If the side parting from the preceding hairstyle wows you, here\u2019s a creative way to replicate it with longer hair. Incorporating gray into the warm blonde gradient also creates a dimensional look that I can exchange for anything.<\/p>\n

33. Chic Bold Blonde Haircut for Formal Events<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Chic
@embracingfifty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Side parting time is not over; here\u2019s another excellent idea to consider replicating. Apart from the style’s natural allure, its wavy look makes it perfect, not only for casual wear but also for professional events.<\/p>\n

34. Pixie Bob Haircut with Spiky Layers <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Pixie
@suzanne_62<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pixie bobs are popular with older women<\/a>, so it\u2019d be weird to not include one in this compilation. Wear a dimensional brown pixie with these unique spiky layers and see how many heads you turn at work next week.<\/p>\n

35. Simple Side-Parted Mid-Length Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Simple
@silverqueensandkings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I know we had time for side-partings, but this one’s just so adorable that it’s impossible to ignore it. Apart from the side parting, it’s not doing anything too special, and that simplicity might be what makes it so glamorous.<\/p>\n

36. Gray Bob on Thin Hair <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Gray
@suzanne_62<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Graying and thinning will almost certainly happen to you as you age, so why not incorporate them into your hairstyle? This gray bob uses a side-parting that makes the thin hair<\/a> look voluminous and manageable; a true masterpiece.<\/p>\n

37. Symmetrical High Feathered Haircut<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Symmetrical
@silverqueensandkings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This high feathered cut isn\u2019t as radical as those we\u2019ve seen earlier, but it\u2019s every bit as adorable. The center parting also creates symmetry, an effect that makes the layered cut look several times better.<\/p>\n

38. Messy Gray Curly Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Messy
@thefinelinemag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Messy haircuts can look excellent on anyone, even (especially) 50-year-olds. If you don’t care what they say, you should try this bob-like gray and curly haircut. Don\u2019t forget to incorporate the side parting for extra flair.<\/p>\n

39. Voluminous Gray Haircut for Older Women<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Voluminous
@byjulianacastillo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If I could wish for anything to happen when I\u2019m 50, it would be to have my hair this voluminous and lengthy. As you can see, she doesn’t need a lot to look her best; just a simple center parting, and she’s already looking elegant.<\/p>\n

40. Classic Brown Wavy Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Classic
@wigs_with_wisdom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I doubt my hair will look this full and adorable when I\u2019m 50, but where\u2019s the harm in wishing? If it does look anything like this, I\u2019d be stupid not to get this dimensional brown waves, with the stunning side parting.<\/p>\n

41. Blonde Layered Bob with Fringe <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Blonde
@wigs_with_wisdom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bobs with fringe never go wrong, naturally, but this one\u2019s just outstanding. The full fringe just works well with the well-cut layers, and the natural blonde color gives the entire package that \u201cjust right\u201d look.<\/p>\n

42. Layered Razor Cut Lob <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Layered
@wigs_with_wisdom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lobs don’t need a lot of volume to look outstanding, and this style drives the point home. A simple side-swept look with a dimensional blonde color was all she needed to create one of the best medium length hairstyles for women over 50.<\/p>\n

43. Gray Wavy Bob Haircut<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Gray
@petmai1110<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A feathered bob already sounds very interesting, but this model then decided to spice it up with waves and a side parting. The result is what you\u2019d expect: one of the best medium length hairstyles for women over 50.<\/p>\n

44. Brown Mid-Length Haircut with Fringe <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Brown
@gl4myage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This shoulder-length cut is the perfect example of a mid-length cut, and the inclusion of that fringe only makes it look more run-of-the-mill. While it\u2019s not the most elegant style in this compilation, it doesn\u2019t have to be; not everyone\u2019s wearing their hairstyle to a wedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

45. Classic Bob Haircut on Thin Hair <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Classic
@liviacostea25<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re not exactly against wigs or dyes, this black classic bob is a no-brainer. Its parting isn\u2019t exactly symmetrical, but it exudes a similar kind of charm, and the length appears to be just right.<\/p>\n

46. Messy Fluffy Lob <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Messy
@suzanne_62<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wearing a messy, wavy look with a bob is a challenge for younger ladies, but if you can make it look this good at 50, you deserve a medal. Consider throwing in the sunglasses to make the style look even more interesting.<\/p>\n

47. Mixed-Tone Lob Haircut <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Mixed-Tone
@likegoodvine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I bet she didn’t know her hair would look this adorable when she decided to go gray, but look how adorable she is now. Even without the unique color, a free-flowing lob with a symmetrical center should bring you close to this.<\/p>\n

48. Thick Bob with Fringe for Thin Hair<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Thick
@kellyshouseofhair<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s the classic bob look in its full glory, except it\u2019s on a 50-year-old. Adorned with an adorable fringe, this full, dimensional, thick bob is one of the best medium length hairstyles for women over 50.<\/p>\n

49. Loose Curly Lob <\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"Loose
@amyelizabethhairdesign18<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If a plain, straight bob sounds too boring to you, this loose curly lob should be a suitable alternative. The multi-tone look from her graying is nothing short of stunning, and the center parting completes the glamorous masterpiece.<\/p>\n
