Pixie haircut for women over 40

Fashion for women's hairstyles, like everything in this world, is constantly changing. But the trend of rejuvenating short hair remains unchanged. Every 40-year-old woman wants to “throw off” a couple of years and transform herself into a new image.

The best option for a short haircut for a woman over forty would be a pixie haircut. Using different types of styling in this model, you can achieve different shades of mood: from mysterious and playful to elegant and austere.

However, you should not blindly follow fashion trends. When choosing a pixie haircut, the following nuances must be considered.

• A complete set of a woman's body. For slightly overweight ladies, hairstyles for medium to long hair are suitable. Short haircuts are not contraindicated for them, but with the effect of rejuvenation comes a visual imbalance of a small head against the background of an obese body. The perfect haircut is a pixie bob.
• The shape and features of the face. For women with a round face, a hairstyle with hair styling and extended bangs is suitable. This will add volume and favorably emphasize the round shape of the face, visually lengthen it a little. Women with an oval face will benefit from slight chaos on their heads. This styling will add charm and elegance to the oval face. Perfect for pixie girls with regular facial features: straight middle lips, neat nose, expressive eyes. However, too large facial features can also be hidden under the hairstyle and make them more feminine and cute.
• The structure and color of hair and eyes. Blondes are more suitable for styling on short hair, brunettes have options with extended bangs and medium hair length. The structure of the curl also matters. In women after 45 years of age, gray hair appears, and the hair becomes coarse. For a pixie haircut, it's even better. Coarse hair is good to style, and it keeps the shape of the hairstyle for a long time.
• Do not forget about the owners of curls and wavy hair. They were the luckiest of all. Their natural curl structure does not require styling when cut short, saving money and time. Such natural beauty not only adorns the hairstyle, but also makes a woman natural and desirable.
• Social status and lifestyle. Depending on what position the woman occupies and what she is doing, you can choose a suitable styling model. If a lady leads an active lifestyle, then this will definitely be a short haircut.

Many stylists believe that a short pixie fits only an oval face. But don't believe it, this judgment is deceiving. With so many styling options, it is possible to choose a hairstyle for any face shape. Having shown imagination and adhering to the recommendations, you can easily choose for yourself a suitable pixie styling option. Here are just a few of the most popular ones.

Even if you have short bangs, it will still give your face a visual ovality and help to correctly place accents, redistributing the attention of others. Women with oval face shapes should not get carried away with such styling.

If your haircut has bangs, try styling it in waves. The hair on the temples and the back of the head is cut short or completely shaved off. From the crown of the head, as it approaches the forehead, the hair becomes longer.

You can also try tucking the bangs to one side. Such styling will give a woman austerity and sophistication. Ideal for a business woman.
