Amazing hair mappings before and after
Let the below before and after hair makeovers for women over 50 inspire you to take the plunge, try a fresh hairstyle and feel amazing again.
1. Dark to light blonde
If you have long hair and are trying to distract from your extra curvy or round face, try a little by filling your mane with colorful waves. An off-center part will work with the texture to draw everyone’s eyes out and away from your face shape.
2. Layered Pixie
This before and after makeover takes short, dull hair from lifeless to full of texture. Whether you have a square face or a big forehead, a pixie with soft side bangs is a super cute option for a short haircut.
3. Side bangs for full bangs
The hair looks dry and desperate for shape in the before photo of a woman over 50 with a longer face shape. By thickening the bangs and blowing out short layers, we see a wavy texture come to life and a change in facial dimension.
4. Bulky to thin layers
For women with thick hair over 50, celebrate it with a shoulder-length haircut like the one seen in this before and after. Unwieldy curly hair is beautifully tamed into thin, layered locks.
5. Blonde to Pink Balayage
If you love color in your hair, you’ll definitely want to copy this super cute platinum blonde bob with pink highlights. It’s a perfect youth update for a woman in her 50s.
6. Blonde to brunette
If your natural hair color is blonde, you can look like a whole new person with an inverted balayage and a chin-length bob with lots of texture. Part the hair from the center, smooth it and tease the crown to lift it.
7. No feathered bangs
For women over 50 with short hair, this before and after makeover proves you don’t have to do much to make a hair change. Ask your stylist for a feather cut to create those cute bangs and frame the face.
8. Normal pixie to bold pixie
For an easy and bold update to short dark hair, go for dark red highlights only on the fringes. This long textured pixie instantly stands out with the addition of red. Smooth your hair and go for a diagonal cut for the best look.
9. Long hair to a short roar
Women over 50 who have long hair and are looking for a little more body and shape will do well with a bob haircut with bangs. Lots of short layers combined with a thin body will create fluffy locks that are nicely aired.
10. Blonde straight to orange wavy pixie
Another great hairstyle option for older women includes this poppin’ orange pixie. If the before and after makeover isn’t enough to inspire you to try a light shade in a fun haircut with gorgeous curls, we don’t know what is!
11. Long hair for a pixie
Very light blonde or platinum hair color is great for women over 50 with pale or light skin tones. If you have long hair, switching to a pixie with long straight bangs will make you almost unrecognizable (in a good way)!
12. Gray to black hair
For women with oval faces who see more white or gray hair and want to cover it up, take a cue from this pre- and post-makeover mood and add some extra black to your mane. Leave the hairline salt and pepper to define your face shape.
13. Long blonde hair to a short red pixie
Going from bright and light to dark and mysterious is easy when you have at least two shades of beautiful red to work with. Turn the big chop into a pixie bob and give your mane a rich dark color treatment for a complete makeover.
14. Libya straight to the texture
Not only do asymmetric and a-line bangs flatter a multitude of face shapes, they’re also a go-to hairstyle for women over 50. They have a beautiful length that you can do a lot with, and blonde highlights add glamor to it, too.
15. No bangs for curtain bangs
A middle part can be quite harsh on some women, so to soften your look, ask your stylist for curtain bangs. This before and after flaunts a lovely fringe with a gorgeous medium haircut in super light blonde.
16. Strawberry blonde bob to light blonde
Want to change your hair without much commitment? A cut will take you to it after shooting a wavy bob with lots of volume. Ask for a few layers that you can style in waves, and maybe even go for a light blonde color.
17. Gray waves to blonde straight
Pesky gray hairs are no match for blonde balayage. Long wavy hair changes in cut and color that make it smooth and warm. Women over 50 will love how their gray hairs blend seamlessly into the new shade.
18. Short white layers for brown bangs
If you’ve got a stark white mane, take a look at this before and after makeover for inspiration on what a little brown and caramel bleu can do for a grown-up look. For Asian women over 50 with a warm skin tone, this color combination is ideal.
19. Gray to prominent white roots
When gray hairs start to peek through your roots, take it as an opportunity to do what it is before and after shows: a long, mostly smooth hairstyle with highlights in gorgeous whites and grays.
20. Balayage dark blonde to light blonde
Have you grown out your blonde hair but feel it’s a little lifeless? Chop off at least five inches and opt for this blonde balayage. The transition of the color will be easy and it will show your natural wavy texture beautifully.
21. Wavy blonde hair to smooth blonde
Many women over 50 choose to grow long blonde hair, but at least give it some shape. A few long layers or face-framing layers will make all that length look much prettier and healthier.
22. Pixie blonde to silver
Embrace the older age as a woman in her 50s by dying your short hair a mix of gray and silver as seen above before and after. These colors complement each other well, and also give the layered pixie a slight edge.
23. Curly brown to straight burgundy
Any woman over 50 with a dark skin tone looks amazing in dark hair colors, like this ethereal burgundy. It’s brilliant in a short haircut with lots of layers. Blow it out for sleek volume and the flip-out shape.
24. Light blonde to strawberry blonde
In our opinion, not enough older women take advantage of young strawberry blonde hair color. This before and after makeover is a great example of how it can change your whole look for good.
25. Blonde to red pixie
Don’t be afraid to take the jump from light to dark in your short hair. Dark red is the perfect base color to flaunt bright red highlights in an edgy pixie cut. The short angled cut is a great option for women over 50.
We understand how challenging it can be to find a haircut you love when you also feel like your options are limited. Fortunately, before and after makeovers of women in their 50s show how many options are actually available to you. From long, low-maintenance hairstyles to short haircuts with lots of angles and volume, and of course everything in between, you can create a hairstyle you love that will also help you feel comfortable at your age.
