Hairstyles for Women Over 40

Sporty cut

This hairstyle is not only the perfect one for you at the age of forty, but you can carry on with it at the age of fifty too. The basic characteristic of this hairstyle is careless-careful look. So, it ideally harmonizes with the active life of a corporate woman. Thus, you need to have a haircut that allows you to wear denser volume at the frontal part of your head.

Crop the areas around your ears and overlap them with a thicker layer that fall from the top portion of your head. The hair at your nape should be kept thin and spooky.  Now, you need to assort your hair and finish off by spraying hair setting spray to have the desired sporty look.

Assorted Blunts

Blunts are all time favorites for women with short hair, irrespective of age. But, at an age of 40, you can further add a touch of sophistication to your blunt cut. Thus, your ideal hair length for this hairstyle should about an inch above the nape line. So, if your hair length extends that, trim it off to achieve the perfect style. Set your hair properly with a wide toothed comb and blow drier. You need to tame the tresses at this stage.

Next, use a hand roller and your blow drier to roll your hair inwardly all along the nape. When it is done, concentrate on the frontal portion. Keep your bangs at the front longer than the length of your hair at the back. The average length of the frontal bang should be below your ears. Now, set the bangs with iron rollers to achieve inward curve that frames your face.  Now, finish off by smearing your tresses with light reflecting serum and brush your hair.

Sophisticated Crops

Crops can be one of the well loved hairstyles even when you are 40! They give you a girlish look and tend to make you appear at least ten to fifteen years younger.  But, you need to carry crops properly, so that they never look mismatch with your age. Thus, the style we have mentioned here is a sophisticated alternative to the usual teenage crops.

Go about it by cutting your hair in an asymmetric fashion. Keep your hair short at the nape. Concentrate more on the top and frontal portion of your head. Here the length of your hair should be more than that at the nape. When the trimming is over, segregate your hair in sections and use narrow curling sticks to create soft curls throughout your head. You can use light and dark highlights of the same family color to add further glamour to it.
