Three Flattering Haircuts for Women Over 50
I vowed to never cut mine!

“I’m never gonna cut my hair!” I told my mother.
“Okay. Look at your Aunt Cora. She could pass for a witch with her long, stringy, gray hair!” she said.
When I was younger, I vowed to not cut my hair — ever. I had long, dark, thick, curly locks. I believed my hair was my best feature.
Until I turned 50.
I had been fighting gray for about 10 years. Most of the time, I dyed my hair from dark brown to jet black. One time I tried mahogany, but that didn’t work out.
Then I remembered another saying from my mother:

I’ll give it a try!

Before dyeing, I had to decide on the type of cut I wanted. I told my hairdresser to give me a short style similar to a high-top fade. This cut is long on the top and short on the sides and back.
I didn’t go very long on top, just enough to spike it up. Kinda like Bart Simpson. My long head was perfect for this type of haircut.
