As an older woman, you probably aren’t (and probably shouldn’t be!) wearing the same hairstyle as in your 20’s.

Whether your hair is thin or thick, curly or straight, there is a pixie cut for you. And yes, even women with round faces can wear a pixie haircut! A pixie can be casual, or even edgy and high fashion. It’s up to you. So check out how to choose the right pixie for you, and then take your favorite photos to your hairstylist and take the pixie plunge!

 

Cute Pixie Haircuts for Women Over 50

How to Choose a Pixie Cut For You

There are so many variations of the pixie cut for women over 50 that you may want to narrow it down a little based on your face shape. “She Knows” has this handy little infographic giving you a little guidance on how to choose. The only thing I disagree with is that I feel round faces would also benefit from tight sides and volume on the top. It only makes sense that it would visually redirect the eye from looking side to side, to reading your face as more vertical in shape.

Spiky Pixie Haircuts for Women Over 50

Let’s start with one of my fav fashion bloggers over 50. Shauna at “Chic Over 50” is now 64, and has this bold and beautiful spiky pixie haircut that is so… well, chic!

 

 

Pixie Haircuts for Curly Hair

These pixie haircuts for curly hair prove that you don’t have to do it up spiky and edgy to look amazing. My hair is curly, and I am seriously thinking about this first look! A layered pixie haircut is short on the sides, but longer layers on the top. It’s a great cut for balancing round faces and adding volume to the top to give the face more visual length.

 

 

 

 

 

Pixie Haircuts for Thin Hair

The classic pixie haircut is perfect for thin hair. Instagrammer “@amelie_become_you” posted this awesome before and after of a woman who had her pixie tightened up and styled, and the difference it made. Her hair no longer looks thin and frizzy. It has structure and direction and works with her hair’s natural texture instead of against it. And the best pixie haircuts for women over 50 do just that… They work with our changing hair texture!

 

 

Pixie Cuts for Thick Hair

Also from Instagrammer “@amelie_become_you”, this before and after shows a pixie cut for thick hair. Her hair no longer looks out of control and wiry, because the pixie is the perfect choice for ending that lifelong fight against hair that will not do what you want it to. Most of us as we grey, our hair becomes more wiry. This cut is a great way to hide that.

 

Long Bang Pixie Haircut

Noelle from “Grey Matters” has a cute pixie cut with long bangs that softens her face and brings attention to her eyes. Another one that is also great for round faces.

 

 

Here is another pixie cut with long bangs.

If you are looking for a cute pixie cut for women over 50, then here are the photos that you need! Older women don’t have to sacrifice style just because they don’t want to spend an hour every morning doing their hair. Keep in mind that pixie cuts, even cute ones, need upkeep. You may have to visit your hairdresser a little more often to keep things trimmed and neat. But that is nothing to the time you will save styling every day! And us women over 50 have better things to do, right?
