What Are the Best Haircuts for Women Over 50?

7. Pumped-up Pixie

Who said short hair had to lie flat to be flattering? Take a page out of Cynthia Nixon's book and add a little height to your short hairdo with the pompadour pixie. This look is easily achieved by sweeping hair upwards and away from the face and around the sides. A dab of strong-hold styling gel will keep your coiffure shaped and in place.

Pixies withstand the tests of time because women over 50 wear them so well.

Super-short cuts bring out all the shades of grey and leave us wanting more.

Short sides, with tousled tresses up top, add height and elegance to pixie cuts.

Frame the forehead, highlight cheekbones, and enjoy the delight of a kicky, longer-on-top pixie.

A head-turning pixie cut reveals a lot about your attitude and sense of self.
