5 Youthful, Flirty Hairstyles Over 50 That Bring Life And Volume Back To ‘Flat’ Hair This Spring

Prefer your hair tp be even longer than collarbone length? Medium hair that reaches the shoulder is a beautiful length for long-hair lovers who still want to retain body and health. Layering makes all the difference with longer hair — one-length hair can fall flat and look limp. Adding long, face-framing layers and maybe even a curtain fringe perks up hair and gives it major style, while also putting the spotlight on facial features like cheekbones and eyes.

Piecey Pixie

A piecey pixie is a pixie with an additional fun element — shorter layers on top that provide texture and can be styled into a fun, spiky vision of playfulness. Your standard pixie is short in the back and sides, with longer layers on top. Ask your stylist to snip those layers just a bit more than usual and have fun styling these pieces.

Medium Hair With Curls

Any time you add curls, waves, and texture to any haircut, it immediately plumps up each individual strand and makes your hair look denser. Not to mention: curly and wavy hair can appear more youthful and playful, especially if you don’t obsess over the finer details, such as attempting to get rid of every trace of frizz you encounter (think of a child playing outside in the yard — not thinking that their hair has to look polished and perfect every moment of the day!). A medium haircut with some length benefits from texture because it helps keep it from falling flat. Let your natural curls shine through with a little curl cream and natural drying, or give straight hair a bend and volume with heatless curlers and rollers.
