I wish someone would create a style for women over that magic age of 70 that is not a gray pixie! Being past 70 does not mean I am too old a decrepit to want to look good. I do not wear makeup, I do not wish to have a quick look, and I genuinely believe I have a lot of life left.
So, how about a pretty, not too fussy idea!!!!
I agree that these cute styles seem to be for very straight hair. I, too, would love to see short styles for wavy or curly hair. I could achieve some of these looks, but it would require considerable time to straighten with a blow dryer.
Like the first comment, I have fine wavy/curly hair that I don’t want to straighten. Can you suggest short and easy-to-manage cuts for hair like mine? Thank you
Hi Dawn, Take a look at this post on curly hair over 40:https://www.fabulousafter40.com/cute-curly-hairstyles-women-50/
I have very thick, wavy hair with a mind of its own… but all of these seem to be for straight hair… I keep my hair short and would love to wear one of these ‘pixie’ cuts…. but my hair refuses to lie flat !!!! Do you have any suggestions for curly or wavy hair??
Lovely pictures, BUT what about us curly/wavy hair women? Please show some of them.
I love the hairstyles! Could you add a post that would also show hairstyles for women with curly hair?
I loved this post, and each of these ladies has hairstyles I’ve admired for a long time.
