A favorite of celebrities like Jennifer Anniston, Amy Adams, and Christie Brinkley, loose waves are one of the best hairstyles for older women.
Older women who want to lighten their long hair without cutting it all off should try side-swept bangs.
Layered hair has face-framing powers, but the length of the layers plays a massive part in how aging a hairstyle is. Ultra-long layers may be subtle, but they're effective and offer a youthful appearance.
Pretty much everyone looks great with big curls because they're so bouncy and playful and have fabulous youthful connotations.
Bobs are an interesting hairstyle because the wrong cut can be incredibly aging. However, they've come back into fashion with a bang.
Though the middle parting is a classic, it often doesn't flatter older women because it exposes the hair roots and hangs limply down, with no lift at the crown of the head.
If you want to experiment with color, try a balayage style over an ombre because it doesn't grow out as quickly and looks much more subtle.
