Short hairstyles for women over 50 with fine hair use layering or texturizing to enhance volume.
Her advice when it comes to making a choice on the best short haircuts for this demographic, is shared by a New Jersey based hairstylist Ashley Neuman: “For adding volume in fine hair, bobs, pixies, wedge cuts, or shags work great.”
It’s important to take into account the shape of your face as you choose a style because it can definitely determine how volume will be maximized effectively. This aspect should be discussed with your stylist advises Neuman.
Neuman suggests that people with gray hairs should avoid using a harsh shampoo and conditioner so their hair does not dry out or break easily. She recommends Davines’ ‘This Is A Texturizing Dust’, which she claims is the best product that keeps volume in blowouts.
