Gone are the days when bangs were solely known as the “breakup cut.” Now, bangs are a go-to for anyone looking to elevate their look—especially as we get older. “Bangs are one of the fastest ways to change your entire look without sacrificing length,” says celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins. “They can soften the face, highlight the eyes, and balance proportions.”
“Bangs are really about framing,” adds Naeemah LaFond, celebrity hairstylist and Shark Global Ambassador. “They draw attention exactly where you want it…sometimes that small shift changes everything.”
You can wear bangs however you want, no matter your age. But as with any trend, there are a few favorites amongst the chicest women over 50. Below, we break down the best hairstyles with bangs that women over 50 are currently loving. No matter which you opt for, just remember: “The best version always feels integrated and easy,” says LaFond.
