Stylists Share The Best Flattering Pixie And Bob Cuts For Women Over 50
May 23, 2025 by Lisa Cupido
We may not always agree on everything when it comes to hairstyles and haircuts we consider “flattering” or “unflattering,” but few stylists will say women over 50 don’t often look spectacular with bobs or pixie haircuts. Our hair can often go through several changes throughout our lives — it’s only natural. As we age, and hormonal changes take place in our bodies, our hair can become thinner, and even change texture. You can actually lose curl or gain a wave where once your strands were stick-straight.
You aren’t required by law to chop off your hair once you hit 50 — that’s not what this is about. But if you’re nothing differences in your hair, and your current haircut isn’t doing your hair justice (you’ll know this if it leaves your hair flat or stringy), it may be time to explore your options.
These flattering pixie and bob cuts are among the best, especially if you’re working with hair that is thinning, dry, or otherwise compromised.
