50 Stunning Lobs with Curtain Bangs for Women Over 50 With Great Taste

What I love about lobs with curtain bangs is that it’s a haircut that works every single time, which is why I think I love showing examples to clients who are over 50 the most. It strikes that perfect balance of looking effortless, yet also not freshly from the salon. It’s one of those cuts that truly transforms your whole face, like you just got back from a little vacation. I had a client last year who had the same blunt cut at shoulder length for over 15 years, and I distinctly remember how nervous she was about making a change. We decided to do curtain bangs and I think we removed about an inch and a half so that it was fully a lob, and I kid you not, she started crying looking at herself in the mirror. It was actually a really subtle change and that’s the whole point. It was just a lot more her.

I love this style for women in their 50s and older. Curtain bangs solve five problems at once, all under the radar. They soften and frame the face, give a playfulness to the style if you’re feeling like a change, and they grow out nicely (which is part of the battle with bangs). The length of a lob is just right because it keeps you looking current while avoiding the “Am I too old for this?” stigma. Trust me, you don’t have to worry about that. That said, I’ve compiled a bunch of looks I like best, so let’s jump right in.

Radiant Copper Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#1: Copper That Actually Looks Like It Belongs on You

For a lob, copper is a great option since it adds so much warmth. The cut sits just above the shoulders, giving that nice effortless swing, and the curtain bangs are soft enough not to feel like a commitment. The finer hair here is working to her advantage because it makes the whole thing look fuller and more naturally moving. If you’ve been considering going warmer, but you’re afraid you’ll look like you’re trying too hard, this is the one to do! Just a heads up that copper is one of those colors that will fade faster than you’d expect. So budget for color refreshes, or grab a color-depositing shampoo to stretch the time between appointments.

Rich Brunette Lob with Seamless Curtain Bangs

#2 That Deep Chocolate That Makes Everything Look Expensive

Rich brunette hair color looks classy and polished. Although it may look like you haven’t done much to your hair, this is still a great example of good hair. The bangs here melt into the rest of the haircut so well, you barely recognize them as bangs. They look like hair that just falls into a style. If you have thick hair, the one thing I would say is to make sure that your stylist keeps the layers to a minimum. It’s tough to get back to normal after too many layers thin your hair out. The extra texture is just enough to make it pop.

Light Ash Blonde Lob with Feathered Curtain Bangs

#3 Ash Blonde That Doesn’t Fight Your Grays

If you want to blend your growing grays, light ash blonde is a great option because it looks like you’re not fighting your roots. These bangs are stellar! They are nice and light so they don’t feel heavy which is my concern with bangs if they are on thin hair. The layers help to keep the hair from all falling flat, and gives some nice lift to the ends. With any cool blonde, you will have to tone your hair regularly to keep it from looking warm.

Sunlit Blonde Lob with Feathered Curtain Bangs

#4 Bright Blonde That Feels Like Good Lighting in Hair Form

I won’t lie about it. This color will require upkeep, but for some things, it is deserved, and this is one of those things! These feathered bangs do an amazing job at keeping the whole face looking lifted and open. These are the kinds of things that you don’t know you need until you see them on you. If your hair is thinner, this cut will actually work to your advantage because the light color and movement in the layers create the illusion of more hair than there actually is. You will definitely be needing to see your colorist, but the result is that you will literally look like you have sunlight following you everywhere!

Classic Chestnut Lob with Blended Curtain Bangs

#5 Warm Chestnut with Bangs That Know What They’re Doing

What I like about this style is that the bangs are cut to that ideal location just above the eyes, which creates a lovely openness to the face and keeps things fresh all around. The hair’s natural waves do most of the volumizing work, giving it an effortlessly styled look, even though I know this cut takes some consideration. I believe Chestnut is one of those colors that is underrated; it is natural and rich without being dull. The only comment I have is that the warmth in your hair color can change a lot with sun exposure, so I’d recommend a UV protection spray.

Elegant Silver Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#6 Going Silver and Looking Incredible Doing It

If you’re thinking about going fully gray, here are some examples of how it can look intentional. The length fits it perfectly as it stays modern, and the soft curtain bangs help it feel more feminine than harsh. The layering just about borders on looking flat, and just enough so that it doesn’t appear like one solid mass. Silver hair is gorgeous but more often than you think, it can become brassy or yellow, which means you will become very close friends with a decent toning shampoo. To be honest, with a look like this, you’ll get people stopping you in the grocery store.

Chic Chestnut Lob with Layered Curtain Bangs

#7 Chestnut Lob That Looks Like You’ve Always Had Great Hair

I like these layered curtain bangs, as they look nice and quite natural. It draws accent toward the face more than the forehead, cheekbones, and shoulders. With this shoulder length hair, you can play with it however you’d like. You can tuck some behind your ears, pull some up into a half up look, or leave it down. If your hair is a bit on the thinner side, these layers will give the illusion of more thickness without a ton of wispy layers. The bangs are going to need some maintenance every couple weeks, but the rest of this haircut should be really nice and low maintenance.

Lustrous Golden Lob with Breezy Curtain Bangs

#8 Golden and Effortless in That Way That’s Actually a Little Bit Effortful

This golden shade looks natural, like you just got back from a sunny holiday and your hair has lifted in the sun. I really like collarbone length hair, its the sweet spot. Long enough to feel like there is some good length and short enough that it doesn’t get heavy and drag down fine hair. The curtain bangs here are light and breezy, not too thick, which is just right for this texture. On those days when it’s flat a volumising mousse will be your best friend, but otherwise the most cut just styles itself.

Soft Auburn Lob with Gentle Waves and Textured Curtain Bangs

#9 Auburn Waves That Make You Look Like You Just Came from Somewhere Interesting

The style is lovely and soft and still manages to remain feminine. The soft waves and curtain bangs create a nice counterbalance to the subtle fade of the color. The auburn shade works with her complexion beautifully as it warms everything up and gives her skin a nice glow. This hairstyle can be a good option if you are looking for something with romantic vibes without being too costume-y. Just keep in mind that auburn fades pretty quickly (as is the nature of red-based tones) so you may want to plan for that. However, nothing compares to it when the shade is fresh.

Chic Cinnamon Lob with Sculpted Curtain Bangs

#10 Cinnamon Spice That’s More Interesting Than Basic Brown

The color of cinnamon is very nice and warm and goes with most skin tones. More people should give this color a chance. These sculpted bangs look more intentional than the many wispy bangs on this list, and if you are trying to soften a wider forehead, these are the bangs to go for. The volume is just right and mostly concentrated at the mid lengths and ends so it doesn’t feel heavy on top. You may have to spend a little more time doing some round brush styling to get the way you want, but it shouldn’t take that long.

Brunette Tousled Lob with Dynamic Curtain Bangs

#11 Brunette with Tousled Texture and Bangs That Move

What stands out to me is the playful and energetic vibe of this look. The dynamic bangs mixed with tousled waves are a perfect match for this aesthetic. A cut that grazes the collarbone is great for showcasing the jawline and is very flattering, The bangs are light enough to leave the band exposed, and provide more than enough coverage. This look is ideal for those with waves. If you already have waves, you are mostly there. On humid days, a light wave spray is better at controlling frizz than defining waves. Overall, this look is really high effort for the reward.

Classic Natural Gray Lob with Soft Layering

#12 Natural Gray with Layers That Whisper Instead of Shout

Gray hair is often seen as a negative thing, but it can also look beautiful like in the example of this model. This modern lob is sophisticated and polished. The layers look beautiful as they catch the light, and help provide movement to the hair. This look is very quiet and refined while still remaining amazing. Gray hair is certainly an example of something that can be embraced. Gray hair cuts like this one look amazing.

Radiant Copper Lob with Layered Curtain Bangs

#13 Copper Lob with Bangs That Have Real Architecture

I think what is most interesting about these curtain bangs is how they are more structured than other, softer, variations. They are contoured to the face and look very polished. Warm copper is also not a neon look. Fine hair looks fuller due to the movement added by the layers. The cut is stiff but not too stiff. With color, copper is always gorgeous, but a bit of a commitment – so plan accordingly.

Subtle Bronde Textured Lob with Curtain Bangs

#14 Bronde That Can’t Decide and That’s the Whole Point

Bronde is a mix of blonde and brown. It’s a color that almost everyone can pull off. This hairstyle is a great way to show off this stunning bronde color. This ‘do’ has a lot of body and amazing texture with the help of these curtain bangs. She is also a thicker hair queen because the inner cut controls weight without looking too chunky. Just know this cut is a little high maintenance, but not as much as a perm. If you are anti-hair works, you will not like this cut. But believe me the results are stunning.

Warm Chestnut Textured Lob with Soft Waves

#15 Chestnut Waves That Look Like They’ve Been Professionally Undone

Just running your fingers through your hair can look chic and effortless. That’s the look I aim for with each of my clients. I love the softness of this look. The chestnut hue is rich and warm without being too overwhelming. The slight side part is lovely as it frames the face and draws attention to the cheekbones. For those with finer hair, these waves will amplify your volume. You’ll need to use hot rollers or a curling iron to achieve the waves as fine hair has a tendency to lose the waves by lunchtime. But I promise it’ll be worth it.

Deep Chestnut Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

#16 Deep Chestnut That Does the Talking for You

This color is so beautiful; it looks as if it is illuminated from within. The soft curtain bangs and the length that is above the shoulders stunningly frame the face and subtly highlight the cheekbones. For most of my clients, the dream is being able to air dry and go, and this style has the movement and texture to do just that and look great. If your skin has warmer undertones, this chestnut color will be perfect for you. To maintain the richness of the color and keep it from fading, make sure to have a good color-safe conditioner in your shower.

Graceful Silver Waves with Voluminous Curtain Bangs

#17 Silver Waves with Bangs That Actually Have Volume

I really like the bangs and the volume they have. Unlike other hairstyles, they look full rather than lifeless, and that gives this hairstyle more purpose. The length of the hair is also a positive factor because it allows the waves to be separated rather than stuck together. The natural gray hair is also really nice with the haircut rather than being annoying. The bangs are nice because they cover the forehead and give a flattering look without being too obvious. This is especially true when you have a lot of hair. The weight of the hair will mean the waves will be more defined and this style is going to need some maintenance. If you have wavy hair already, you have a good base to start with.

Brunette Textured Lob with Feathered Fringe

#18 Feathered Fringe on a Brunette Lob, Classic for a Reason

Feathered fringes have been around long enough for us to see how adaptable and complimentary they are to different types of faces. Additionally, they can serve as an excellent step towards trying bangs if you haven’t done so yet. For example, this textit{wooly brunette style} is simple and warm, coupled with the layered cuts that give dimension to the style, it won’t make fine hair appear too thin. The fringe is also so light you can wear it down, to the side, pushed back, or blended with the rest of your hair. The light and feathery look will require you to get regular trims every four to five weeks, but this cut will be quite low maintenance in between trims.

Rich Espresso Voluminous Lob with Breezy Bangs

#19 Espresso Richness with Full Bangs That Still Feel Relaxed

I like dark espresso colors on lobs because it makes the whole hairstyle look more expensive. It also gives the illusion that the hair is more weighted and shinier. The bangs on this style are more full than the usual wispy ones, but they aren’t too blunt or heavy. The slight layers are doing a good job of keeping everything nice and lifted, which is great if your hair lays flat. With darker colors, you don’t have to worry about root growth as much, so it’s a practical choice if you don’t like coming to the salon very often.

Sun-Kissed Blonde Lob with Face-Framing Bangs

#20 Sun-Kissed Gold That Looks Like a Really Good Filter

I really like this color! It’s beautiful, and it looks very natural. It is a two-tone color technique. She did some very detailed highlighting techniques to bring out the golden tones and bring out the face. The bangs are the final touch to this brilliant framing the face style! The loose wavy texture gives that perfectly imperfect, undone look and avoids a polished salon-y look. Med-fine hair the layers create enough body that you really don’t have to do anything to create volume. This color is stunning and the maintenance to keep the ends healthy might be a bit high, but the cut is so good it’ll grow out well!

Silver Waves Lob with Airy Curtain Bangs

#21 Cool-Toned Silver That Feels Effortless and Modern

These silver waves are stunning on this bob. The lob waves make it look soft and effortless which is exactly what I want from a gray embracing style. This cut gives so much definition and the ends are just the right length to toss up and clip if you want to forget about it. When everything is fresh, the warm silvery tones are gorgeous, but a toning treatment is needed here. If your face is a bit rounder, this lob length is really nice as it gives a line that helps elongate your face.

Golden Blonde Lob with Natural Tone Highlights

#22 Golden Highlights That Feel More Like Sunlight Than Salon

Gold blonde hair color and highlights in a natural tone together create a unique quality that I can only describe as “alive”. The color becomes different from each angle. Curtain bangs are soft and barely present, and I find that most suitable when wanting bangs without drama. For people trying to achieve visual fullness and illusion to thinner hair, this is a great option. Highlights add a density that flat, single-process color can’t do. You will need to do touch ups for highlights to keep them blended, however, the in between of this color is more forgiving than being blonde all over.

Burnished Copper Lob with Sweeping Curtain Bangs

#23 Burnished Copper with Bangs That Lift Everything Up

I find myself constantly revisiting the copper shades on this list for their versatility, and this one is burnished, a touch more understated than a full-on copper, so if you are interested but tentative, this would be a good choice. The curtain bangs create a lovely lift in the cheeks and the balance is spot on with the shoulder length cut. This shade will really accentuate blue or green eyes, which is saying something coming from me. Coppers and cool eyes will always be a winning combination.

Soft Chocolate Lob with Delicate Curtain Bangs

#24 Chocolate Tones with Bangs You Can Actually Live With

This hairstyle’s curtain bangs are not too thick, which is a plus because they don’t feel like a project every morning. You can let them fall, tuck one side behind your ear, or push all the bangs back, and it all looks like it was done intentionally. Using a mix of light and dark tones within the chocolate adds dimension and makes the whole haircut more interesting than if just one color was used. The choppy layers add texture so that even fine hair won’t look limp. These bangs will need trims every few weeks to keep that perfect length, but actual day-to-day styling can be minimal.

Effortless Chocolate Lob with Feathered Bangs

#25 Chocolate Brown with Waves That Look Like They Just Happened

The relaxed waves look as though you slept on a braid and shook it out. That is the exact kind of effortlessness I think most people are after. The feathered bangs are softer and airier so it draws attention to the face instead of the bangs. The chocolate brown color adds shine and warmth, making the whole thing feel more refined even when the finish is relaxed. I’d say this is one of the more forgiving cuts on this list in terms of daily maintenance, the wavy texture works for you instead of against you.

Radiant Auburn Waves with Curtain Bangs

#26 Auburn Waves with a Warmth That Actually Flatters

I love the bounciness of this cut. The hair sits right on the shoulders and has a really healthy movement. The curtain bangs soften the whole area around the eyes and cheeks. The shade of auburn is perfect and it enhances the complexion rather than competing with it. This is what separates an ok color from one that is actually perfect for you. The color is new and stunning, and while auburn will shift and change over time, you’ll only need color touch-ups every so often. With the natural texture doing most of the work, that means you won’t need to fight against the hair every single morning. While the color is fresh, it’s stunning, and you’ll just need color touch-ups every so often.

Chic Layered Lob with Curtain Bangs

#27 Easy Layers with Curtain Bangs That Just Fall Right

In my opinion, there doesn’t need to be a more objective reason for describing a cut as good—it just is good. It has a good warm tone, color addition that is subtle but interesting. Along with nice placement of layers and curtain bangs that shape the face beautifully. The natural waves provide movement which is a win for not having to create movement. This is the type of lob I would suggest to those who want to appear polished without putting too much thought into it, which is most people, to be honest.

Soft Wavy Lob with Effortless Curtain Bangs

#28 Soft Waves with Bangs That Don’t Take Themselves Too Seriously

I’m sharing my appreciation for this one’s light and playful nature. The bangs appear curtain-like. It gives off a vibe of just falling into the perfectly correct position. The soft waves provide a light movement that is perfect for softer hair. I appreciate the length as well. It stops just above the shoulders enough to provide shape, but not enough to where it pulls it down. One of those hair styles where it’s all about the styling is this one. You’re basically done with just a bit of texturizing spray.

Soft Silver Lob with Feathered Curtain Bangs

#29 Silver Lob with Feathered Bangs That Feel Intentional

What really gives this cut some purpose and intent are those feathered curtain bangs. It makes it really stand out from the variation of styles that say “I’m going gray and cutting my hair short”, which is totally fine by the way. There is an edge to this style and a level of thought that is appreciated. With fine hair density, it gives an ethereal and floating feel that is just not achievable with thick hair. The beauty of this cut is that you can wear it straight or with soft waves and either way it will look good which is a hallmark of a great cut. While a style with fine hair does mean you might have to put in a little extra work to keep it from going flat throughout the day, that just is what it is like with any style and hair type.

Textured Lob with Fluffy Curtain Bangs

#30 Fluffy Bangs on a Textured Lob, and I Mean Fluffy in the Best Way

This hairstyle suits fluffy curtain bangs perfectly. The thickness is a great addition, and the combination with the layered texture in the lob creates an overall great shape. The wavy, thin texture works really well here because the layers and the waves work together, and due to the moderate density everything looks nice and light. This is the cut to bring your stylist if you want a more voluminous bang and wispy pieces.

Modern Textured Lob with Curtain Bangs

#31 A Modern Lob with Color That Does the Heavy Lifting

What immediately strikes me in this look is the interplay between light and dark shades. It’s very understated, yet it’s doing a lot of work. It adds to the overall depth, and makes the individual layers stand-out more. If you’re in that phase where the natural grays are coming in, something like this multi-tonal approach is a very natural way to blend them in. The curtain bangs are nice and soft, also they’re cut in a way that is well-balanced with the rest of the style, and the shoulder grazing length is modern, and elegant. Straight hair shows all the layers, which is stunning and with this cut, regular shaping visits are a must, it makes an outgrown haircut more noticeable, and with this cut, regular shaping visits are a must.

Warm Copper Layered Lob with Soft Curtain Bangs

One more copper and I’m not even sorry; look at this! The soft curtain bangs here aren’t overdone, they are just doing their thing!

Length just below the shoulders is the sweet spot where you feel like you still have some length and everything stays easily manageable. Copper tones will fade so plan for color upkeep and enjoy every week of vibrancy you get!

Textured Lob with Wispy Curtain Bangs

#33 Wispy Curtain Bangs That Are Actually Perfect for Overthinking Less

People often see wispy bangs as looking unfinished. However, few people seem to realize how versatile bangs can be, especially when they look great like in this example. Bangs can blend with the rest of your hair a lot more and look more natural, plus you can also shove them to the side and no one will realize you technically have bangs. The warm brown tones of the hair also have brown subtle layers to create depth and movement which look really nice, plus, the bangs remain shoulder length so it’s really a manageable style. The best trait of this haircut is honestly the simplicity. That’s a compliment by the way.

Soft Textured Lob with Curtain Bangs

#34 Textured Softness with a Balayage That Does Something

Let’s give a shoutout for the subtle balayage. It’s not one of those where you can see harsh lines of color. It’s almost like someone bumped the contrast up a little. Everything looks more dimensional. The bangs blend in softly and don’t overwhelm the whole look, and the wavy medium density hair gives us all the natural proper volume that we don’t need to create anything artificially. This is a really good example of an ‘I changed something but I’m not quite sure what’ type of cut. That’s honestly the best reaction I could hope for.

It’s a great cut for medium or fine hair because it gives the illusion of more volume because of the layers without removing a lot of weight. I would say it’s one of the most flexible on the list. It looks great in its natural state, and it’s perfect on day three when you’ve neglected to style it. You’ll be good to go after a few trims to keep everything in shape.

If your hair is naturally straight, plan to spend about 5 mins on this look.
