The top 5 hair style for women over 50 also celebrates the shoulder length black hair and the beautiful ‘bob cut’. The bob cut was voted the most elegantly efficient way to impress for women with slim oval face. For older women with a heavy face the ‘Mary Clare’ shoulder length is a hot choice. It keeps the hair around your face and makes it complete; they say. The step cut long hair has also gained a surprise entry into the domain of the top 5 hair style for women thanks to Thomas Real and Nanxy Tong Heater the two key Hair stylist who brings back the step in a new avatar “step cut for older women”. The smooth step cut is in sync, she says and she brings the step back with a twist. Highlighted locks of hair on every alternate step gives it that unique new age sheen.

Agnes Gibicar, Linda Rizzuto and Susanne Germaine brings in arguably the most appealing hair style for women over 50. According to them there are different needs for different women . Treating every woman’s requirement as unique and subjective they still have noticed a trend among older women conscious of their appearance; they say that business women wants a powerful look and the hottest demand is the “Devil wears prada” look. Susan Germaine who was the chief hair stylist working for Michael Mann’s production house says that more middle aged women are looking for short hair and dying them “off color”.

The trend according to her is due to the recent article published in a women’s health magazine, which said that toxic hair dyes contribute towards escalating skin and scalp problems and most women now wants to abstain from dying their hair regularly. Germaine also added that the best possible hair style that middle aged women could sport irrespective of their facial appearance, personal demands and requirements would be a simple ‘U’ cut and then to fold it as per requirement and the demands of the situation that you are in.

One of the oldest and probably the most attractive of the hairstyles would be the long hair. A woman at sixty would probably look the youngest with a longish hair. If we look at a celebrity for example,  Jane Seymour  she looks fabulous with her long hair and standing on the other side of 50, she does not look it. Hair is another part of you that makes you look who you are. It gives you character and at most times it either makes you look too old ot too young. If you are on the other side of fifty, in most cases you would look young if you have kept your hair well.

2009 has seen a lot of cool, edgy and best hair styles that have been seen on the ramp, on the red carpet, the movie releases, album covers and magazine covers, et all. Stars have always been on a constant frenzy to reinvent themselves as with changes in their life and situations. It is common for any person to change their looks or sport on new looks from time to time.

What better way to change your looks other than through great hairstyles? There seriously cannot be any other invention to change your looks in a jiffy. From the prettiest bobs to delicate colors that stay and shine, this year has been an invention of varied different aspects to explore and play around with your looks. Piecy crops to cute bobs have all been the rage with changing facial structures and people’s renewed inventions of themselves. Mod blunts, cool curls as well as special extensions have come to be part of night time glam as well as day time fun wear. Celebrities have been, as always, the greatest trend setters as well as inspirations for this year.

Whether they are Kate’s bob, Emma’s new updo, Blake Lively’s braid, Amy Winehouses sailorboy meets sixties’ retro chic look, Charlize Theron’s retro curls, they have all been out there and experimented with people. Celebrities have gone short or wedged or even asymmetrical with the year showing new ways to create and bring about trends in fashion. Depending from what you wish to evoke and have through your looks hairstyling options keep you with endless new ways to explore. However over all 2009 has been for pumping up volume and curls and keeping it long.

The year was not about long hair that looked flat and lifeless but that spoke of volume. Poker straight here or fly away long here has also not been the good thing to sport. The look is of layers and different highlights to reflect your shape. Lindsay Lohan went on plaiting her long her and Kate Hudson wore them sleek, shiny and bouncy. Then you had Hayden Panettiere with her tousled looks and Jennifer Garner with those beautiful waves. Lauren Conrad wore it long and seductive as well.

As reports show it looks more elegant and beautiful with the right waves and highlights when hair is worn down rather than put up. Sleek styles have not been there for most parts of the year though they were seen quite often with some added funk attaching hair extensions. Hair extensions have been the greatest accessory this year. Plaiting your hair a little is well back in fashion and it does not take much time. Make sure that hair is healthy and shiny no matter what hair style you are opting for. 2009 has been a great year while people waved on the shine and health. It has been rather non experimental with the funk and more serious on the health of the hair.

The color was not specific but never global. Lots of highlights and breakage of density meant the norm giving overall hair story the greatest pump up it required. So healthy hair keeps on looking better and better no matter what style you are carrying. It is also easier to carry your hair in any way you wish when you are high on the health side. If you are opting for too much cheap color, frequent changing of hair styles and blow drying you are definitely going to end up with unhealthy, fly-away hair. This is not possible when you are growing your hair long with healthful purposes. So no wonder the overall inclination for 2009 has been for long and voluminous hair! Using a natural mask, vitamin included shine serum, heat protector, heavy duty conditioning and pampering is always a great thing to do.

While long hair took the year by a storm, bobs have still been there in alternatives at certain stages in 2009. Rihanna and Louise Brooks continue with their funky style pairing them with their neat bobs. If you have fine hair and a well shaped face then this is really the ultimate look to flatter you.

Catwalks and red carpets have seen a return to retro fashion with the sleek and abounding kinks to them. There were definite emulation to the 40s style curls and waves in great succession with actresses and models. Partying and socializing also took this look rather than tight up dos. Summer styles however so more bohemian and laid back route in every way. Hairstyle spectrum was full of nostalgia with recalling the hippy waves of the sophisticated 40s classic curls. Almost everyone was seen adorning these looks. However it is not always this look but even the bedhead and the casual side sweeps that were also getting attention.
