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

Searching for a fun and flirty hairstyle that will give you a pep in your step this spring? Look no further: we’ve rounded up five haircuts and styles that stylists love — and women over 50 especially love — because they take formerly flat hair and give it oodles of volume, bounce, and vitality. A few snips here and there — face-framing layers or maybe even some texture if you’ve been wearing your hair pin-straight for years — can work their charm like nobody’s business.

If your biggest hair complaint is that you lack body and your hair appears fine and thin, consider one of these five fool-proof hairstyles that look youthful and bring life and volume back to flat hair.

Feathered Bob

Maybe you already know that a bob is one of the best haircuts you can consider if you’re looking for a style that removes split ends and creates a blunt baseline that makes hair look thicker and denser. That’s all well and good, but remember: bobs come in a variety of shapes and with several customization options. If you feel like a blunt bob with zero layering just makes your hair fall flat, there are plenty of other options to consider. One of the best is a feathered bob that consists of lots of shorter layers that are wispier in nature. This style can make your hair look denser and more voluminous — as well as super playful and fun.

Lob

When you search for “haircuts over 50,” the majority of them are very short. And that’s not a bad thing: super-short hair creates the illusion of having more hair, which is great for anyone dealing with thinning and shedding hair. But short styles aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. The lob is the perfect compromise between long and short hair because it stops at around the collarbone and can be personalized to feature long layers, face-framing layers, bangs, and the list of options goes on and on.
