Finding trendy hairstyles for easy hairstyles can be difficult for women over 70 with medium-length. They add style and sophistication to daily routines. This article will show how to look chic with easy hairstyles. These hairstyles are perfect to embrace and show off silver. Updos, bobs, or glamorous waves can help achieve a chic and stylish look.
Most clients I get who are 70 and over have much more freedom with their hair than they think. Those with medium-length hair especially. There is a sweet spot where they have enough to work with without having to put in a lot of effort to manage it every day. A few years ago, I had a 74 year old client who had a chin length haircut for as long as she could remember because someone told her that it was “inappropriate” for her to go longer. When we finally let it go and stretched it to her shoulders with some added texture, she looked in the mirror and asked “where had this been?” This shows how much more options medium length hair can give you at this point in life.
I want to focus on styles that you can wear every day, as opposed to styles that look good in a salon chair with nice lighting and a fresh blowout.
I enjoy working with all of these cuts, and some might feel more custom to your hair than others, and I’ll explain the difference. With age, your hair changes in density, and, with time, texture can become wild, flat, etc. Finding the right cut is key in determining if you will go back to feeling like yourself or if you will be fighting with your hair every morning.
#1: Soft Copper Mid-Length with Wispy Micro-Fringe and Sculpted Interior Layers
Here is an example for shoulder grazing mid-length fine mostly straight hair with medium density for oval face shapes. For rounded flips and gentle crown lifts without excessive bulk, sculpted interior layers work quite well. A soft brow obstruction is created by a see-through micro-fringe. The Copper warmth is incredibly flattering and face framing volume is a benefit. Red fades faster as a downside, and the hair may be wispy so the fringe will require a round-brush blowout and some smoothing serum. For optimum results, a root-melt paired with light volumizing mousse will work best.
#2 Soft Root-Shadow Rounded Lob with Interior Graduation
This hairstyle is a shoulder length lob haircut that features rounded edges. Internal layering combined with a subtle root shadow enhances the natural bending of fine to medium straight hair. This hairstyle is most flattering on oval shaped faces. The style looks polished and light, and is easy to blow dry with a medium round brush. The turned under blunt ends may expose split ends and dryness. Additionally, you may need to apply a gloss to the center gray strands showing at the part to blend them and possibly low-contrast toning to blend.
#3 Copper Face-Framing Mid-Length with Soft Interior Graduation
I’ve also had this cut for a number of years, and agree that it is a mid-length, shoulder grazing style with long face framing layers and soft interior graduation. This style is particularly great on an oval face with fine-to-medium straight hair, and I would say is great for women over 70 as it provides crown lift and a smooth under-flip. It is definitely lightweight, provides good movement and framing, and along with the natural looking red depth, it is very flattering. The only downside is that it will need a round-brush blowout (or some light heat) to maintain the flip. It can also require some root shadow/lowlights to keep the dimension. For this look, you’ll need a subtle half-inch darker root band.
#4 Soft Copper Layered Shoulder Cut with Feathered Curtain Fringe
I would describe this style as a shoulder length layered cut with soft copper tones and a feathery curtain fringe. It really suits an oval face and is ideal for the 70+ age group. The ends of the layers are soft and graduated to provide more movement, which is great for fine to medium density wavy hair of medium thickness. An off-center part adds a little volume, and soft babylights with a root-smudge at the temples keep the color looking fresh. With this style, blow drying with a round brush is great for creating volume, and the hair moves beautifully. On coarser hair, the ends may look a little sparse, and the fringe will need daily maintenance to keep it looking good.
#5 Soft Shoulder-Grazing Layers with Wispy Curtain Fringe
I am a mother and stylist from New York, and I consider this type of style to involve long internal layers with point cut ends, plus a curtain fringe and some wispy interior layering at the crown to create lift without weight. This is suited to fine-to-medium, naturally wavy, medium-density hair. It adds some horizontal width to an oval or heart face shape. The pros of this style include lightweight volume and root melt color that is simple to maintain. The only con is that a round-brush or hot-brush finish is essential.
#6 Warm Bronde Long Layers with Soft Side Fringe
Being a mom and a stylist in New York City, I can identify this as a shoulder length, long layered cut. This style incorporates a gentle side fringe, which is a gorgeous feature for an oval face. This style works best on hair types that are fine or medium and have a natural loose wave, and is of medium density. You can also see in the photo a small left crown cowlick, which the over directed layers hide. For layering, I would use point cutting to give some ends an airy effect and a low contrast root smudge to blend the silver, which also adds movement and soft framing. This style can take a bit of work and a round brush blowout or some light styling is required each morning to keep up the crown height and fringe for the finished look.
#7 Rounded Brunette Blowout with Interior Graduation and Lifted Crown
As a stylist and a mom from New York, I would describe this style as a shoulder grazing rounded blowout with interior graduation and long face framing layers that create an S-bend. The hair looks to be fine to medium in texture with high density and suits an oval shape. Benefits: instant crown lift, soft framing and a lot of body; Downsides: large barrel round brush thermal set and low contrast gloss to blend the silver at the part.
#8 Brushed-Back Shoulder-Length Layers with Subtle Root-Blend and Face-Sculpting Ends
This is a shoulder-length layered cut with soft back a back/blown section and face framing pencil layers. The hair is medium in density with a natural bend. Interior graduation can be seen at the crown and ends that are light and create lift without the bulk. The benefits are movement, root-blend lowlights that cover grays and warm up the tone, and easy styling with just a round brush. The only downside to this cut is the fact that the swoop needs a light blowout or some thermal shaping to hold it. Also, fine hair may require a root volumizing product.
#9 Sunlit Copper Mid-Length with Subtle Flip and Root-Blend
As a stylist based in New York, I describe this mid-length style as having long layers that frame the face, accompanied by some interior graduation. There are also feathers at the ends to induce a subtle outward flip and a high crown. The hair seems to be fine to medium with a medium level of density, and the warm color has a copper gloss blend at the roots. Notable advantages of this style are the low regrowth noticeability and framed oval face. The downsides consist of the copper color requiring gloss/toner, a round-brush blowout being necessary to maintain the flip, and the need for a gloss/toner at some point.
#10 Sleek Shoulder-Grazing Black Lob with Warm Root Dimension
I am a New Yorker, a mother and a stylist, and I can tell you that lobs that hit the shoulders especially look good when they are styled straight. This cut works best when the hair density is fine to medium, and is more flattering on long/oval face shapes. Blowouts need to be more effortless and straight and sleek looks are ideal for elongating the features. The warm reddish regrowth at the center part is great for a root smudge or demi-permanent gloss. The only downside here is that length can weigh the crown down and cause it to sit flat. If you want more lift and softer ends, I recommend adding some subtle interior graduation along with some point cutting or light razor texturing.
#11 Soft Chestnut Shoulder-Length Layers with Lifted Curtain Top
I’m a stylist and mom from New York, I’m seeing that recent longer, face-framing layering and graduated cuts give a rounded finish and a thumbs up flip curtain at the part. For oval face shapes, and medium to thick straight and soft wave textures, shoulder length is a great choice. It’s a great way to relieve some weight in the hair and is more manageable with round brush blowout. The end flipping will require more heat styling effort than usual and is not ideal for very tight curls. I see a warm band at the part that brightens green eyes and helps disguise early gray.
#12 Copper Feathered Shoulder-Length Cut with Sheer Micro-Fringe
My name is (name not provided) and I’m a 45 year old mom and hairstylist that is originally from New York. I would describe this hairstyle as a shoulder length copper feathered cut with a sheer micro-fringe. The model presents fine to medium straight hair of medium density which works very well with the interior graduation as well as the face framing layers to give some volume and soft movement to the crown. The ends which are flipped under will help soften the jaw line. The pros are the flattering and bright red color along with the face framing layers that give some nice movement without excessive bulk. The cons are the fact that red pigments tend to fade quicker than brown pigments while the micro-fringe will need some careful blow drying along a light styling cream. I would suggest doing a demi-permanent gloss to revamp the color while ensuring there is a healthy shine.
#13 Auburn-Rose Shoulder-Grazing Cut with Interior Stack and Wispy Side Fringe
I’d describe this as an auburn-rose, shoulder-grazing cut with interior stacking for crown lift and a wispy side fringe. The hair shows fine-to-medium natural waves and slight thinning at the temples which is a medium density that would fit oval to heart shape faces. There are benefits to soft face-framing, easy air-dry texture and some built-in root lift. There are downsides such as the warm hue requiring a gloss to keep it from looking too flat and the fringe needing regular tidy shavings. For her micro-silver halo at the temples, I would consider that to be scissor-over-comb texturizing with a root-smudge blend.
#14 Warm Espresso Mid-Length with Wispy Face-Framing Slices
I run my business in New York. I consider this style a mid-length cut with feathery ends and interior graduation that touches the shoulders. I would say this looks most flattering on women aged 70 and above with medium-thick, slightly wavy hair. It also compliments oval face shapes. The micro fringe and a few wispy framing pieces soften the brow area. Techniques used are vertical point cutting, light interior stacking, and root softening gloss with a little gray at the temples for some natural contrast. The pros include a lightweight cut that adds lift and movement. The cons are that it does require some styling and will look best with a round brush blowout to keep the ends and fringe flipped and it’s not ideal for very tight curls.
#15 Cinnamon Chestnut Layered Lob with Soft Wispy Fringe
My favorite is this shoulder-skimming cinnamon-chestnut lob – long face-framing layers with interior graduation creates lift at the crown and soft movement at the ends. The wispy fringe gently conceals forehead lines; a root shadow with painted balayage brightens the eyes. Best suited for oval/heart shapes with medium-thick, wavy hair. Downsides: needs round brush blowouts/diffuser for it to fall right, gloss will be needed as copper tones will mellow; the thin brightened slice tucked behind the cheek that instantly lifts the complexion.
#16 Soft Brushed-Back Shoulder-Length Layers with Natural Crown Lift
This hairstyle could be described as shoulder-length brushed back layering with natural crown lift. It suits an oval face and is appropriate for fine to medium wave textures with a medium density. The inner graduation at the crown area provides lift and the soft face framing slices relax the temples. The soft face framing slices also provide airy volume and effortless styling post air drying. A warm gray blend may be a drawback as high porosity ends and frizz may require a smoothing serum as well as a root softening gloss. This styling technique will be less effective on extremely fine curls or very dense curls.
#17 Feathered Shoulder-Length Waves with Natural Gray Root Dimension
I’m a stylist and mom. This collarbone-length feathered cut has long interior layers and soft face-framing layers to encourage S-shaped waves. Hair type: loose natural waves, medium density; a small crown cowlick gives natural lift. Benefits: instant volume and framing and blending of salt and pepper regrowth. Drawbacks: mousse/diffuser required for shape and a demi-perm glaze needed for a tone update.
#18 Copper Layered Shoulder-Length Cut with Interior Stack and Face-Framing Layers
I would describe this as a shoulder grazing graduated warm copper on fine to medium mid density hair with a subtle interior nape stack and long face framing. It adds lift and soft movement on an oval face; the warm copper with subtle lowlights covers grey nicely. Plus: an easy air dry shape and lightweight volumizing. Vs. Cons over thinning leads to wispy ends and the color requires periodic glossing.
#19 Warm Copper Feathered Midlength with Soft Face-Framing Curtain
My name is ___, and I run a styling business in NYC. I am 45 years old with a collarbone haircut, face framing layers, and a little under 15 degree graduation so the ends stay off the shoulders and the body is not as solid. The hair is fine to medium with a subtle silver root melt and is of moderate density. She has a small oval face with a crown cowlick, which is well concealed by the layering. Benefits of this style include, movement, and soft lift at the roots, and flattering framing. Drawbacks include needing a round-brush blowout to keep the ends flipped, as well as needing a root-softening gloss to keep the warm copper blend from getting too dark. For the technical notes, I would suggest point cutting the ends and layering 45 degrees for the soft flip so you can reduce bulk without losing the overall length.
#20 Strawberry Copper Rounded Lob with Interior Graduation
My name is Melissa. I am 45 years old, live in New York City, and work as a hairstylist and also a mother. I want to explain a hairstyle that I do on other people. It is a collarbone-length rounded lob with interior graduation at the nape and a long side-swept fringe with micro-sliced ends. It has a straight appearance and subtle root-shadow with fine to medium texture, medium density, and a subtle root-shadow. The benefits of this hairstyle include face framing for oval and heart shapes and built in lift which makes finishing with a round brush super easy. The downsides include warm copper turning brassy, porous ends creating flyaways, and fine hair without internal slicing may become flat.
#21 Blonde Shoulder-Length Blowout with Airy Face-Framing Layers
As a stylist, this cut is an angled bob with a side bang and soft layering. It has point cut ends and a rounded under-flip and is best suited for an oval face with fine to medium hair. It is very flattering to the face and also creates volume in the hair where it may be lacking. The hair shadow and natural cowlick also add lift and depth to the style. There are a few negatives to this style. Rounded ends will require a blowout to smooth them out and the ashy blonde will warm up. It will need to be toned periodically to keep it looking ashy.
#22 Rich Auburn Mid-Length Layers with Soft Curtain Fringe
Being a New York Stylist and a mom, I have designed a style that keeps you looking young. This shoulder-cut style has internal gradation, and long face-framing layers that give added height at the top and ends that are flipped. The cut creates effortless styling and movement. The cut gives fine to medium straight hair more volume and less weight. The soft curtain fringe helps to soften the look of an oval face. Some disadvantages may include visible, silver regrowth that may need a gloss or shadow. Also, small crown cowlicks may need targeted layering and a round brush blowout to get them to sit right.
#23 Warm Copper Shoulder-Length Lob with Interior Graduation
I’m a mom and stylist in NYC! This shoulder-length warm copper lob features soft interior graduation at the nape which helps with a natural regrowth appearance. It’s perfect for oval/long face shapes with fine to medium texture and density hair and also adds volume and an inward flip! The perks are easy polished blowouts and the front band adds a nice brightening look. The downsides include; if the hair is extremely fine, blunt ends can appear thin, and the color may need glossing at times.
#24 Chestnut Mid-Length Layers with Soft Curtain Fringe
As a mom and stylist from New York, I understand that this chestnut mid-length cut with straight curtain bangs and long, feathery layers works best for women over 70, with an oval face and fine to medium hair with medium density. The positives include the crown design, warm root shadow for depth, and the concave underlayer that flips the ends under without adding weight. The only cons are that it requires a round brush blowout to maintain that shape and frequent color touch ups to maintain the warm tone.
#25 Soft Brunette Shoulder-Length Cut with Face-Framing Layers
I have been working as a Stylist in New York and being a mom, I can tell this internal cut with longer feathers and shoulder length layered, is perfect for oval shape faces, and for fine to medium straight to slightly wavy hair, and the face framing layers provide some lift and movement. Also, your natural root shadow will cover any greys at the part line. This will involve a light smoothing glaze to control flyaways, some root lift styling for added lift and maybe some root lift volumizing.
#26 Radiant Copper Layered Mid-Length with Airy Micro-Fringe
I am a 45-year-old stylist and mom living in New York City. I would describe my hairstyle as a mid-length cut, layered with soft, flipped ends and a light and airy micro-fringe. My hair description consists of fine to medium waviness, with a medium density. This specific style is particularly flattering on oval shaped faces and works great for women 70 years and older. The technique used is long graduation with an interior underlayer at the nape for lift, along with a single process warm copper and some subtle lowlights. Some of the benefits of this style are easy blowout volume and soft face framing. The drawbacks can include the color possibly needing root blending, fine strands requiring a light product to hold the flips, and the color needing root blending.
#27 Sleek Dark Shoulder-Length Lob with Soft Curtain Fringe
I’m a mom and a stylist in New York, so I can say that this haircut has a collarbone length lob with a soft curtain bang and a little bit of interior nape graduation so that it gives a rounded shape. This haircut works really well with straight medium density hair that has just a little bit of natural wave. An oval face shape is fantastic for. This cut is eye framing and polished with a round brush blow out. It also has some brightening effects because the silver strands provide a soft lift. The rounded shape at the ends is what requires heat styling to keep the ends flipped. Dark colors tend to show a lot of contrast with roots so you will want to ask your colorist for some low maintenance zone shadowing.
#28 Feathered Shoulder-Length Layers with Side-Swept Curtain Fringe
As a mom and New York stylist, I focus on cutthat touch the shoulders and have long layers and soft side-swept curtain bangs. This particular style is good for oval face shapes and is appropriate for women in their 70s with fine to medium textured hair that has a medium density. There are a lot of advantages to this style: it is lightweight, has added volume, is soft, and the face-framing highlights with a root melt beige-silver blend help frame the grays. The only disadvantage is that this style needs a round brush blowout to flip the ends under and regular toning to keep it from getting too brassy. Note: there’s subtle interior gradation at the crown to provide lift without added bulk.
#29 Soft Layered Shoulder-Length Cut with Wispy Micro-Bangs
I love the shoulder-length layered lob with micro bangs. I also love how soft, turned out ends look with wispier ends. I would recommend this style for women over 70 because It can also make an oval face shape look slimmer. This style works on those with fine hair and a little wave, as well as medium density. The cut has some interior graduation, and a slight light perimeter for a little crown lift and natural movement. There is good airy volume and good temple coverage too. The only downside is that you may need a light hold paste to keep the flip and wash and go bangs in place. Plus, a quick round brush blowout would be needed.
#30 Voluminous Copper Feathered Lob with Interior Graduation
I would describe this as a collarbone-length feathered lob with soft curtain layers and some interior graduation, which will work well on oval and heart-shaped faces. The hair seems fine to medium in texture with medium density and a root lift from a round brush blow dry. The warm copper gloss babylights add brightness to the temples, while the rounded ends provide instant volume as well as soft face framing. The ends and shape create the lift and rounded look that will require daily round brush blow drying and a clear gloss to keep the copper colour fresh – ask your stylist to do some interior layering instead of heavy texturizing so the fullness is retained.
#31 Shoulder-Length Face-Framing Layers with Sculpted Crown Lift
As a stylist and 45 year old mom based in New York I would say this is most likely a shoulder length style where the layers start below the chin and go down. There is also a slight graduation at the crown which helps with some lift and is lovely for women around their 70s who have wavy hair of medium density with an oval face shape. The color has warm brown tones with some subtle babylights which helps to soften the grey while also adding some dimension. The hair benefits from a more natural volume, soft movement, and is air dry friendly. The drawbacks include a little bit of frizz, the ends will need to be sculpted with a light styling cream or a quick round brush blowout to smooth them out.
#32 Auburn Shoulder-Length Feathered Lob with Face-Framing Layers
I am a mom and stylist from New York and I present to you this shoulder-length auburn bob, which has soft layers around the face and peeks that flick inwards. There is also a touch of internal gradation that gives the hair a natural crown lift. This style suits someone with an oval face shape and fine to medium hair of average density. It is a simple round-brush blowout. The pros of this style are that it moves and brightens the skin with freckles. The cons are that the color can shift brassy, which means you have to get glazes. And for very fine hair, it can be a little flat if not enough weight is removed. The distinctive feature of this style is that the lightening around the temples is designed to fit a person’s freckle pattern, which lifts the face without a lot of highlights.
#33 Warm Chestnut Face-Framing Layers with Full Blowout Body
I live in NYC and I’m a 45-year-old hairstylist and mom. This haircut is a medium-long chestnut color, with face-framing layers and some subtle internal graduation that creates some bouncy volume. It’s for fine to medium density and wavy hair. This is a woman in her 70s with good density hair. A lifted crown and soft movement are benefits to this style, along with flattering face framing. Disadvantages include round-brush blow-drying, and she’ll also need copper lowlight refreshes to maintain it. I also see a small crown cowlick, and some interior layering helps disguise the cowlick.
#34 Warm Golden Layered Shoulder-Length with Feathered Face-Framing
As a stylist and mom in New York, I would describe this as a mid-length, shoulder grazing cut with longer, face framing feathered layers and some internal layering for crown lift. The texture appears to be fine to medium with medium density; the ends are barrel flipped to add more volume. Upsides include a modern uplift, soft framing of wrinkles, and the ease of styling with a round brush blowout and root smudge for low contrast regrowth. Downsides include having to heat style to achieve the flip and if you want that warm golden finish, you’ll have to do monthly upkeep.
#35 Airy Ash-Blonde Mid-Length with Lifted Curtain Layers
The hair looks fine to medium with a medium density and has a natural wave. As a stylist and mom in New York, I would call this cut mid-length and shoulder grazing with long framing layers to the face and a soft deep side part. This looks perfect for women 70 and over with an oval face shape. It features interior graduation, feathered ends, and some root smudging plus baby lights to blend the grays. This cut has some advantages including, face framing, getting a good crown lift, and it’s easy to air dry. The only downside is the ends will need round brush blowouts from time to time for a nice turned under look.
#36 Luminous Silver Feathered Layers
I appreciate this one because it has a nice feathering technique around the hair which helps create a smooth, piecy effect to the overall style, giving an illusion of having great hair with very little effort. The layers are placed very gently so she doesn’t create a lot of thinning, but just enough to provide nice fullness around the face. Those layered that taper around the jaw line are also good for anyone with a more pronounced bone structure. Just a tip about feathering though, if your hair is a little thinner naturally, it may show more scalp than you’d like. You learn from experience, and as a wise person once said, you need to appreciate hair density before going for this technique. When this type of cut truly works, the movement is pure magic.
#37 Subtle Silver Layered Bob for Mature Women
This bob is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a classic bob that is easy to style. The subtle layers on this bob will not give you that feeling of waking up feeling like a different person as the change will not be big. The length will go down to the chin so it will sit at the perfect length for softening your features and not hiding them. I like that this bob isn’t trying to do a million things. For finer hair, this is a really great option especially since the minimal layering will prevent the hair from looking really thin. This is a low maintenance hairstyle; as long as you use a bit of smoothing cream on the ends, you will not have to do much. To keep the silver look good, you will need to use purple shampoo regularly as the fully silver hair will look yellow very quickly.
#38 Silvery Sleek Shoulder-Length Cut
I understand why this hairstyle is so common. It’s practical and looks really nice. This specific style is above the shoulder, so you have the option to put it up if you need to. Many of my clients like this until they see it’s no longer an option. The style consists of subtle layers, giving you shape and texture, and not looking overdone. The silver gradient complements the face nicely and adds brightness. My only concern is that to get this smooth, you will have to do a blowout and use a round brush every day. If you think that is too much work, this probably isn’t the look for you. If you don’t mind doing a 10 minute blowout, it creates a nice polished look.
#39 Textured Silver Waves with Side Sweep
I like the side-sweep and root lift a lot! It really gives the hair some character and stops it from being flat all over. The waves are nice too. They add great visual interest and, more importantly, they add volume. Medium length hair (even yours) gets finer as it ages and lacks the volume that the waves will give. The waves will take some good styling though. If you’re looking for a low maintenance hairstyle, this probably isn’t the best one for you. If you’re okay with using some product, especially how current the style is, then this look will suit you.
#40 Soft Blonde Layers with Natural Texture
I love cuts that look effortless! The gray-blonde is super pretty and very natural. It kind of has that “I just woke up like this” vibe. The layers are really well done. They add volume without being too noticeable. This is great for when your hair has thinned out a bit. With a good blowout and round brush this could get even more lift and body but honestly, this would look great air dried too. The texture just holds it all up. There’s really nothing bad to say about this one.
#41 Effortless Chestnut Cascade with Natural Waves
When done on the right person, a warm chestnut color looks really good, and this one is a perfect example, the waves give an effortless flowing look, and are really nice, and make it look like it didnt take an hour to do. It helps add softness to framing the face, and if you have some natural wave in your hair already, then you will be great! For fine hair, the wave will give the appearance of more hair and will really help fill it out. The waves will probably need some product or mousse to avoid going flat by the afternoon, but hopefully not too much. If you have texture and you want a look that is effortless, then this is a good option for you.
#42 Charming Chestnut Shag with Natural Movement
Shags are back, and I especially liked them for women over 70 when done like this, and with a lighter touch. The layers add movement without feeling too young, and this style still feels fresh and breezy. Hair like this can be worn smooth or messy and either way, it looks like an intentional choice, which is the goal with a good haircut. The chestnut color is warm and rich and flattering on many skin tones. That said, be ready to keep your color appointments. With this deep of a shade, the regrowth shows quickly. If that bothers you, keep it in mind.
#43 Natural Ash Blonde Layered Cut
This is a lovely cut and nothing too crazy, but I think the ash blonde is a great color choice. With finer hair, the coloring can sometimes give a lifeless look, but with a good texture and volume layered cut that’s not an issue. It suits your face, and this cut is the kind you can wash and go. It is also low maintenance. Just be aware that with lighter hair, you have to go to the salon a lot to touch up the color, especially to prevent brassiness and dullness. Lighter hair also tends to get dry, so you’ll want to invest in a hydrating conditioner. But overall, it’s low maintenance.
#44 Graceful Walnut Brown Layers with Subtle Highlights
Beautiful! The combination of brown walnut and gray highlights is stunning. It gives the hair a lot of dimension that is usually lost with one-tone colors. The face-framing layers taper and highlight the cheekbones, with nice little flicks at the ends. This style should be easy to keep your hair looking great each day, especially since hair tends to get lighter in density as time goes on. And of course, the refreshes are great for the highlights and keep the overall fresh look. It is great hair, and all the work to maintain it is worth it because the results are amazing!
#45 Elegant Tawny Layered Framing Cut
It’s simple, but it works. The subtle layers add just enough movement to the hair so that they don’t look too blunt, but they’re calm enough that you wouldn’t have to style them every day to keep them looking neat. The layers also frame your face and the tawny tones blend well with any grays that may be coming in and offer a nice contrast to the silver. I appreciate this a lot because many people don’t want to fight their grays, the goal is usually to let it shine through naturally. This cut may not be the most exciting thing ever, but for someone wanting a substantial change, this won’t be it. For someone wanting to keep a polished look with little maintenance, this is a good direction to go.
#46 Soft Blonde Waves with Face-Framing Highlights
The highlights surrounding the face are doing an amazing job catching the light and illuminating the entire complexion, and the way that color is used on the hair is one of my favorite things as you get older. That medium-length hair with the natural waves has a softness that is becoming and versatile enough to be dressed up for something special or left relaxed for an everyday look. If your hair has a natural wave to it, you are lucky because this style really embraces that. You may want an anti-frizz serum, though, to help smooth and define the waves. The combination of blonde and the natural color here is seamless and has no harsh lines, which is what keeps it looking youthful without being overdone.
#47 Classic Silver Sweep with Soft Feathering
This option is a great example of a straightforward cut that is still subtlety elegant. It won’t give an over-styled appearance and the cut has some structure from the mid-length feathering for manageability. A lot of clients appreciate not having to style their hair after a shower which this cut allows. It’s great for oval and heart face shapes because the layers sit well. The only downside is that you have to stay on top of your trims to maintain the shape of the layers! If you go too long without a trim, the clean look is lost.
#48 Refined Ash Blonde Flair with Soft Layers
At first look, this style may not seem like much, but the layers give subtle fullness and shape without being too obvious. The ash blonde is an amazing cool tone and the shoulder brushing length is flattering. I think this is great for thinner hair because the layers create the illusion of thickness without actually removing too much weight, which is what I see with over-layered cuts. If you choose this style, keep in mind ash tones can be high-maintenance because they fade and become warm quickly. Being on top of your salon schedule is important. The finished result is very polished and fresh.
#49 Sleek Silver Bob with Gentle Waves
This bob is shoulder length with subtle waves at the ends. This keeps the style balanced, not too harsh or boring. It’s a good option for medium and fine hair as the waves add volume. Also, since this bob has minimal layering, she gets to keep all the weight. If you want your silver hair to shine as healthy as the photo, you should get a really good deep conditioner and use it regularly. Because dryness and damage on silver hair is more noticeable than on darker hair. Silver hair is really beautiful when it is well taken care of. A sleek silver bob is lovely.
#50 Warm Caramel Tousled Layers for Vibrant Mature Style
I love this soft caramel color because it adds some brightness without going completely gray. This color really lifts the whole face. The tousled layers give it more bounce and cover up the thinness. That’s smart. I feel like it brings a youthful look without going into the trying-too-hard zone. That is a concern I have with older clients. Nobody wants that. I will say with colors like this on hair that’s starting to gray, you will need regular appointments to keep it looking fresh. I know a lot of gray roots can be a concern, so just keep that in mind for your lifestyle and budget. If sticking to a budget is not a priority, then this is a lovely option.
