10 Incredibly Beautiful Hairstyles for Women Over 40
When you’re not 30 anymore, you may think you have no choice when it comes to hairstyles. The funny thing is, there are many hairstyles to consider that 20 something ladies can only dream of. Remember, the age isn’t a barrier to trying something new – be it a new makeup idea or a new hairstyle. You are beautiful, elegant, successful, smart and simply awesome! Whatever your face shape, skin tone or hair type, you will certainly find the most flattering and beautiful hairstyle for you. Here are some simple yet chic hairstyles for women over 40:
1. Cute feminine curls
Whatever your hair type or color is, you can’t go wrong with this hairstyle. Cute feminine curls will make you look 10 years younger and add some volume if you have a thin hair. This hairstyle is also perfect for those times when you wake up with a bit dirty hair and don’t have time for washing, drying and styling. If you have a medium length hair, make your curls closer to the scalp and tousle them to add a modern twist to your look.
2. Medium length layers
If you have medium length hair and don’t want to change it, the medium length layers are your best bet. First of all, the length is considered age-appropriate for women over 40 – it’s not too short and not too long, just perfect. Plus, you don’t need to spend hours styling your hair in the morning. Just make sure it’s clean and finely combed. If you have thin hair, use old school hair rollers to style beautifully your layers.
3. Long soft waves
Have no idea what to do with your long hair today? Skip the bun hairstyles. Long soft waves make a beautiful hairstyle for any occasion. You can highlight some tresses to add a modern touch to your look. Avoid bangs and don’t use too much styling products. Your locks should look natural. This hairstyle is sure to knock years off your face!
4. Shoulder-length curls
If you have a very thick hair, feminine curls can add years to your face. Shoulder-length curls, though, will make you look younger and help you keep your voluminous locks in place all day long. While many women over 40 tend to cut their thick hair and opt for simpler hairstyles like pixies and short crops, you should be proud of having such a gorgeous hair.
5. Blonde fusion
Hitting 40 makes blonde re-consider their hair color and haircut. White it’s not youthful color, which is why it’s time to opt for golden or try blonde fusion. Mix golden and white to create a youthful shade. If you have a mid-length or long hair, curl your locks away from your face and slightly fluff up to create one of the most elegant hairstyles for women over 40.

There’s a popular myth that women over 40 can’t wear long hair. Ignore that myth. The long, slightly layered cut works on nearly each woman regardless of her age.
