Flattering Hairstyles for Women Over 50

6. Middle-parted layers

Center parts generally draw attention to the middle of the face and work well for oblong faces.  Adding layers that frame cheekbones and jawline soften the face. Picture Julianne Moore with her long, red layers and center part that elegantly framed her facial features, or Sarah Jessica Parker’s sleek, straight layers paired with a middle part. If you’ve never tried a style with a middle part and you already have layers, don’t be afraid to play around with a few center-part versions.
