If you’re in your 50’s or older and you’re ready for a new look, you’ve come to the right place! No one should stop you from having the hair you want, but sometimes we need a little inspiration to figure out what looks best!

Now is the best time to experiment and find a style that perfectly matches your beautiful mature personality. Let’s look at 14 styles that are guaranteed to turn heads!
 

This classic style is perfect for framing your face. A long bob is chic and clean for the office or a night out without looking too trendy or complicated. You still have enough hair to pull back into a ponytail, and you can go a couple days without washing it by spritzing a bit of dry shampoo onto your roots to maintain volume.

If you have thin or graying hair, a pixie cut is a perfect way to amplify and embrace your changing mane! This may seem like a scary change, but this low-maintenance and feminine ‘do is perfect for women who no longer want to fuss with their hair.
 

Hair tends to lighten as we age, so why not play up your new pale streaks? If you have longer hair, consider cutting it to shoulder-length to frame your face. When styling, wrap large chunks of hair around a 1 ½ inch curling wand for shiny waves. This style will make sure the sun catches the reflection of the streaks in your hair giving you a shiny, beautiful, healthy-looking mane!
 

This look may not work for fine hair, but thicker-haired babes would totally benefit from this casual look! If you’re into the messy-haired look, consider this chin-length layered style. All you need is a little hair pomade to fluff up your tresses and keep the volume amplified throughout the day!
 

As mentioned before, bobs are the perfect chic and low-maintenance style that never seems to go out of style. Consider getting your hair cut into a bob without bangs and a sleek side part. This style looks good worn straight or wavy, so it suits a variety of hair types.
 

Bangs that cut straight across your forehead may seem like a prepubescent look, but it’s actually a youthful way to add elegance to your mane. Neat bangs on straight or wavy hair looks put-together, modern, and chic. They work with all hair lengths, and you can maintain them yourself at home!
 

Maybe you gave bangs a try and realized they’re not right for you and started growing them out. Consider parting them down the side for a swooped feminine look. This is an easy way to let your bangs grow out without having to sacrifice style.
 

This look is a mixture of the Bob and Pixie Cut, and looks good on almost every woman! An A-line haircut allows you to have length that frames your face, but short layers and volume on top of your head. This is a fun look that works with bangs, highlights, and almost any hair type.
 

For those who have natural curls, embrace them and let them fall naturally. It’s a beautiful look that others definitely envy! If you have straight or wavy hair and want to experience a new texture and style, consider asking your stylist for tight curls. This is a fun way to add volume to your hair and works well on those with longer tresses.
 

Another bob style, I know, but hear us out! This look is a lot more casual than the classic or long bob styles, and is super easy to style! If you don’t have naturally curly or wavy hair, use a 1-inch curling wand to wrap medium chunks of hair for about 3 seconds before releasing it into a pretty, shiny curl. Part your hair down the side and voila, you have a beautiful look that’ll last at least 48 hours with a bit of dry shampoo!
 

Maybe you’re not ready to cut your hair but you still want a change. Try experimenting with a color you never would have considered before. You only live once, so get that pink mane! Experiment with some temporary dye first to make sure it’s something you really want to try. Pale pink or purple hair can actually look quite pretty and feminine on women of all ages. Show off that sass!
 

Maybe you’re going gray a little sooner than you would have liked and you’re looking for a way to deal with your aging hair. Embrace it! Ashy gray hair is a beloved trend at the moment, which makes it the perfect opportunity for you to show off those grays. Experiment with gradients and a new cut to renew your look!
 

This style isn’t for the faint-hearted. Much like the pixie cut, this look adds volume and playfulness to your mane, but the shaved undercut takes it to a whole new level. Make sure people know you haven’t lost your spunk by giving this look a try! It’s also the perfect way to welcome and embrace your new gray hair.
 

If you’re still blessed to have a thick head of hair, play it up! Get those roots touched up or add some highlights to your hair and go for the curlers, baby! Big waves are sexy, stylish, and make you look put-together without trying hard! If your hair is longer, make sure you get your hair cut into long layers and wear hot rollers in your hair for maximum waves.
