Let’s set the record straight — there’s no universal hairstyle that works for every older woman. You don’t have to cut your long hair just because shorter styles are considered more “age-appropriate,” and yes, if an undercut speaks to your style, go for it with confidence.
So, what are the best hairstyles for older women?
Simply put, the best styles are those that complement your skin tone and bone structure, work with your natural hair texture, and express your individuality. While there are stylist-recommended tricks to address age-related hair changes and enhance overall hair health, the most flattering looks are always the ones that make you feel like your best self. You’ll find many of these age-defying styles highlighted below.
