There’s an old idea that once you reach your fifties, it’s time to chop off all of your hair into a subtle and unassuming crop. Those days are very much gone. While shorter styles do undoubtedly work well on those in their fifties and beyond, so do longer and mid-length cuts – all that really matters is that you like the style and have the confidence to wear it.
There are an array of different celebrities who are 50 plus and continue to experiment with their hair – and look excellent while at it. From Demi Moore to Isabelle Huppert, Monica Bellucci to Salma Hayek, Halle Berry to Jennifer Lopez, they’re all serving great hair past 50. Add Viola Davis, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Gabrielle Union, Sandra Oh and Helen Mirren to that list – and, well, you get where we’re coming from.
So if you’re stuck in a rut and want some inspiration, here are some of our favourites to try now – consider this your sign to try something new.
