Prev1 of 20Next


What stands behind the age of over 40? Do you need to upgrade your style as you pass a new milestone in your life? Let’s try to sort out reasonable thoughts on this subject. While you are young, you are normally in search of your personal style. You make mistake, often going to extremes or sticking to one mousy look for years. Turning 40, a woman already knows who she is, and she is less into making an impression, but more about being who she is, because she knows herself worth. This knowledge reflects in her hairstyles – elegant, classy, sometimes playful and sassy and always contemporary and sexually appealing.





What Should Hairstyles for Women Over 40 Be Like?



  • - Chic

  • - Natural-looking

  • - Professional and fashionable

  • - Low-maintenance

  • - Bold and shaggy

  • - Edgy, with a hint of sportiness

  • - Sophisticated and sexy.


Well, this list could have been endless, really. Being 40 years old you can do anything that is flattering your face shape and accentuates the stronger points of your facial features. A short haircut, for instance, highlights high cheek bones. A good stylist will make a layer at the level of your shapely cheekbones or graceful jawline, so that the hair pieces are pointing at something that you want to accentuate, and you’ll look even more beautiful.


Is there something to avoid? That’s a disputable issue. Crazy hair colors, for sure… This is the first thing that comes to mind. Apart from that, there’s a belief that long hair drags your face down and, therefore, doesn’t look very appealing on women over 40.
