Many women over 50 who wear glasses get stuck in a rut of thinking they need to cut their hair short just because they’re getting older. However, age is no longer such an important factor when it comes to wearing hair.
In fact, if your goal is a haircut that gives you a youthful look, you should consider layered hairstyles.
No matter your hair type, adding layers is one of the easiest ways to give your hair structure and shape. If you have thin hair, adding layers will make your hair look thicker.
On the other hand, if you have thick hair, layering it will remove the volume and make it easier to style. Bonus: Layers are great for flattering your glasses.
Sophisticated layered hairstyle for people in their 50s who wear glasses
Your hair worries will disappear when you look at our list of the best layered hairstyles for women over 50 who wear glasses.
1. Wavy hair swept back
One of the easiest ways to add layers to your long hairstyle is to create big waves at the ends. Next, use your fingers to create a small amount of mousse and blend it into the hair at the back of your face.
If your glasses are round, the swooping waves of this hairstyle will accentuate their shape.
2. Long layer straight
Whether your hair is naturally straight or you can tolerate a daily blowout, adding layers can create a sophisticated hairstyle.
Blow away the layers with the hair dryer facing outwards to make your half-rim glasses look great.
3. Side parted wavy hair
Restore your youthful look with soft waves flowing through your hair. A shoulder-length haircut with a simple side part is a manageable length for women over 50.
These gold full-rimmed geometric glasses will complement your rich dark brown hair color.
4. Thick hair with side bangs
Having trouble styling your thick hair? Ask your stylist to add longer layers to remove bulk. You can also add bangs to soften the style.
You can wear cat glasses with side bangs and dye your hair golden blonde. It instantly makes you look at least 10 years younger.
5. Shaggy straight layer
For an edgier layered hairstyle, straighten your hair and use your fingers and a little product to shape and create a spiky texture.
These short shaggy layered bobs also stand out in the mix of calico colors.
6. Short, thin layers with side-parting
For women over 50 whose hair is thin and mostly straight, we recommend keeping it short above the shoulders.
Plenty of short layers give your hair structure and shape, and a side part provides all the styling you need. If you have a thin face, choose rectangular glasses.
7. Wavy, feathery hair
To bring out your hair’s natural texture, ask your hairstylist to add a layer of blur that focuses on the ends.
Recommended for women who want to make styling easier. Finger-comb your hair with mousse or blow-dry it to keep it away from your face for a sexy, wavy look.
8. Blonde hair with brown highlights
Even women over 50 can rock sexy curtain bangs. If you want to add some contrast, add soft highlights in front with a medium or light brown. This also looks great with dark colored glasses.
9. Layered spiral curls with black glasses
A layered perm is a great option for women over 50 with thick, curly hair. A perm helps define curls, and layers give long hair a more structured look. Flow your hair back from your face and focus all your attention on your eyes.
10. Disheveled Pixie
The pixie cut is a super cute haircut for any age. If you’re brave enough, add some highlights and chop it into a chic short length. Finger-comb your hair to one side to give it a tousled look.
11. Medium hair with bangs and waves
Another great option for women who don’t want to spend a lot of time styling their hair is this medium-length haircut with soft wavy ends. Round the cut and frame the glasses with softly cut bangs.
12. Long wavy hair with thick bangs
If you want your hair to be long, you don’t have to cut it. Instead, choose layers around your face that blend well with thick bangs that brush over the top of your glasses. With or without a cute beanie, this style is a winner.
13. Blonde layers with middle parted bangs
For hair with minimal texture, layers create the illusion of a fuller, more shaped mane. We love how this shoulder-length haircut frames the face and is styled with inside-out layers. The fluffy, thin bangs parted in the middle go perfectly with glasses.
14. Wave layered bob
When you rock a chic bob, you can’t help but feel refreshed and youthful. Not only is the short length easy to care for, but the wavy layers add bounce to your mane.
15. Gray layered waves with rectangular frames
An elegant layered hairstyle is a way to proudly rock your gray hair. Create a small side part and create large waves from the middle of your hair down. These thin frame glasses are perfect for your look.
Layers can be incorporated into all types of hairstyles for women over 50. If you want to change up your current hairstyle, you won’t have to wonder with the versatility of layers and the ability to turn a boring hairstyle into a masterpiece. You may need new glasses to match your new look.
