20. Short Layered Blonde Hairstyle
Very short hair doesn’t flatter everyone. If you prefer longer hair to short styles, keep your cut on the lengthier side with a chic pixie bob. A trendy light color like platinum, gray or ash blonde will illuminate your face and prove to be a low-maintenance hairstyle if you want to cover natural gray hair or make it look purposeful.
21. One-Length Balayage Bob with Bangs
One can never go wrong with a one-length bob. Minimal layers create a cute shape to your cut. It’s short hair that still can be styled in different ways – straight, curly or wavy. A modern balayage color will make the style completely current.

When the color of your hair looks like a blend of your natural hue and gray, it’s known as “salt and pepper” hair. It’s undeniably striking in layered and tousled bobs. Designed to appear messy and effortless, they suit almost every face shape and skin tone.
24. Textured Pixie with Highlights
A tailored pixie has been #1 on the “short haircuts for older women list” for a while. What sets this one apart is the detailing. Notice the deep side part that leads to a fun bang and the two tone coloring. The highlights are rich in the front to not draw too much attention to the face and then get sparser in the back to add some dimension.
25. Jaw-Length Bob with Layers for Fine Hair
More versatile than an average bob, a jaw-length cut allows different styling options. This hairstyle produces the best visual results when left natural; however, it’s nice to have the option to curl the front pieces for dressier occasions. Blow dry for volume to create a smart, classy everyday look.
26. Long Ash Blonde Pixie for Fine Hair
Go to the ashier range of blonde for a more subdued vibe that still carries just as much impact as bolder images. Fine hair benefits from a longer-cut pixie with short structured layers in the back. Don’t be afraid of the grown in roots look — it makes your hair appear thicker and adds to visual impact!
27. Feathered Back-Swept Crop
Luckily, gray hair is more popular today than ever before, and that means you can embrace your real hair color and flaunt it proudly. If your hair is fairly thick, pick a feathered cut and style it with a root lift that gives the desired volume and air. Short hairstyles for women over 50 have never been more elegant and modern!
