The most popular haircut for women over 40 and 50 years old is the “Bob”. It is universal and easy to care for. Smooth hair with bangs combed to the side is ideal for creating the image of a businesswoman. If your hair is naturally wavy, you can always straighten it with an iron.

A “Cascade” haircut or a ladder haircut will help you shed a few years. Curls that beautifully frame the face will help correct its excessive roundness. The advantage of this haircut for women over 40 years old is that it can emphasize the thickness of the hair and gives additional volume to thin hair.

Graduated haircuts look great on middle-aged ladies. They perfectly make you look younger and give the image soft femininity.

Women's haircuts after 30 years

Most women over 30 prefer medium-length hair. This choice is quite understandable. They are convenient to style in various styles and experiment with hairstyles.

The most popular haircuts include the following types:

• Long bob with asymmetrical bangs;
• Kare;
• Cascade.

Semi-long, voluminous haircuts that cover the neck are also suitable for chubby ladies. The advantage of these haircuts is that they make you look younger and allow you to hide age-related imperfections.

Trendy short haircuts are not excluded either. For a round face shape, it is recommended to choose an “asymmetrical bob”, “long bob” or “pixie with volume at the crown”. A short haircut is easy to maintain. Proper styling (combing, the right volume) will help you visually shed several years and put emphasis on the original image.

Bob is versatile

The haircut looks good on many women, due to the fact that it has a large number of variations. Thanks to graduation, the necessary volume is created, and the addition of highlights gives well-groomed and glossy hair:

• The bob can be used on hair that is of medium length. In this case, the haircut visually lengthens the face, softening the flaws. Suitable for women with a square or round shape.

The second option, used everywhere, is an elongated square, to which graduation is added. Due to the fact that the strands at the front are longer than at the back, the effect of an elongated face is created. The back of the haircut can be decorated with a “ladder”, creating a beautiful pattern on the hair. Suitable for women with triangular, round, square face shape.

Next year options with bangs will be fashionable

Elongated bangs, creating asymmetry, distract attention from the features of the face, creating a beautiful image. Experts advise purchasing a hair dryer brush in professional stores, a brush or a styler, in order to do a full-fledged styling at home.

It is worth remembering that there are special programs that help you find the optimal hairstyle that focuses on the advantages and hides the client’s shortcomings. The bob is a universal haircut that looks beautiful on many women.

Who is it suitable for?

When choosing a type of haircut for short, medium or long strands, be guided by the following recommendations from stylists and hairdressers:

• This hairstyle looks best on those with an oval, square or rectangular face. In the last two cases, she successfully corrects the shape;
• straight bangs combined with a graduated bob puts the right emphasis on high, beautiful cheekbones;
• if your face is full and round, you should give preference to oblique bangs;
• features such as a short neck, rough features or an elongated face shape are not a reason to abandon a fashionable hairstyle. Complete it with thick, choppy bangs, which should be combed to the side;
• Thin hair needs to be cut especially carefully. All lines should be smooth, otherwise the hairstyle may seem sloppy;
• For those with thick strands, a graduated bob will help remove excess volume.

The bangs not only change the overall appearance of the haircut, but are also a kind of masker for forehead imperfections. Transverse or longitudinal wrinkles, increased oiliness of the skin in this area and simply dissatisfaction with its structure by the girl herself.

Interpretations of a bob on a leg with a forelock are in no way inferior in beauty and style to forms without it.

Here are just a few new modifications that fashionistas should take note of:

• bob with rounded bangs in the style of Mireille Mathieu,
• oblique with milled ends,
• shortened straight line with torn ends, slightly revealing most of the forehead,
• with a straight parting and bangs below the eyebrows with a clear edge line without thinning,
• oblique elongated bangs, smoothly flowing into the front strands,
• a bob on a high leg with milled bangs and curled curls.

What is the difference between a regular bob and a graduated bob?

A graduated bob is a light, multifaceted haircut characterized by a textured design, in contrast to a bob with a smooth texture and even edging. Often a graduated bob is confused with an asymmetrical bob, but these two hairstyles have significant differences. The graduated haircut has a tapered look at the back and the curls are layered. Thanks to this, additional volume appears in the occipital region.

These hairstyles differ in the way they are cut. Graduation of hair begins from the crown. A bob cut is cut from the edge zone using the method of overlapping strands with lengthening of each overlapping strand.

Classic and graduated bob - what's the difference?

The main difference between a graduated and classic bob is the cutting technique. The grading method involves cutting the hair in layers. Thanks to this, the hair acquires the desired volume, and the haircut itself looks extremely impressive. The graduated bob can be performed in several versions:

• Weak gradation - affects only the ends of the hair.
• Medium intensity - some strands are cut at different angles, for example, at the back of the head.
• With strong gradation - all strands are processed, and the hairstyle takes on the appearance.

Angled cuts on thin curls should be performed extremely carefully and delicately to obtain beautiful soft transitions. If you want to make a stepped bob on very thick hair, pay attention to options with soft transitions of strands - this way the hairstyle will look neat, and the technique will emphasize the splendor and volume of the hair.

Types of bob haircuts:

There are quite a lot of types of bob haircuts - it’s impossible to list them all, but we’ll look at a few of the most popular and common ones:

• classical;
• long (extended);
• with extension;
• asymmetric;
• multilayer;
• graduated.

Let's look at each variety in more detail.

Classic bob

We have more details about the classic bob in a separate article.

This is a fairly short version of the hairstyle, “like a boy.” There is no bangs. Also, the classic bob haircut has no corners, and its shape both frontally and from the side resembles a bean, a “bob” (this is achieved by cutting off the back of the head, and sometimes even shaving). Usually there is no clear parting.

Long (extended) bob

As the name of the variety suggests, this is a classic bob, but longer. Very feminine, streamlined, sophisticated. It is best to remove the bangs (unless you can’t do without bangs - although this may already result in a bob haircut). It is desirable that the strands be straight, but slight waviness is also allowed. The volume in the back of the head will no longer be so noticeable, since the length of the strands on the back of the head will increase along with the entire mass of hair.

With extension

The occipital part is short, but the side strands (temporal) can be very long. It looks best on straight hair; behind wavy curls the shape will not be visible at all, but if you really want to, you can experiment.

4. Asymmetrical

Applicable only to straight hair (especially thin hair) - curls will have to be straightened with an iron. Asymmetry is usually created from side strands of different lengths (very short on one side and longer on the other), an oblique or side parting, and thinning of the strands. The haircut is performed on both short and medium hair.

Such styling is very non-standard, creative and perfect for creative and self-confident individuals.

The asymmetrical bob is very versatile and suitable for any type of face, as it can easily be changed, something added or removed to hide some imperfections in the shape of the face, or correct the oval. At the same time, the silhouette becomes more elegant and sophisticated.

Multilayer

This version of the bob is performed in the same way as a cascade or ladder - in layers. This gives additional volume, interesting texture, and playful ruffles. Best suited for fine hair. It will add tenderness and lightness to thick hair. The type of face is almost unimportant, except perhaps round. Chubby ladies should definitely consult with a specialist, since the multi-layered bob can add additional plumpness to the face. The rest of the ladies can safely cut it and smooth out facial imperfections (wide forehead, large features...), if any.

Graduated

A layered bob is often done with graduations, but there are variations of haircuts with graduations, but there is no cascade. While the best hair for a layered bob is thin, it is not at all suitable for a layered bob. The best ones for him will be thick ones, since they will be able to show all the beauty of the graduation. They clearly show the “raggedness” of the cut, its heterogeneity and unevenness. Perfect for ladies with oval, square, and thin faces.

This type of bob is not very suitable for women with curly hair, since the haircut itself is almost invisible behind the curly hair.

Varieties of haircuts with a ladder

The “Ladder” technique can be used in many types of squares. Professionally shaped, it complements any type of haircut and helps create a beautiful frame for the face and entire contour.

Looking at the photos below, it is recommended to pay attention to how different the ladder can be - along the entire edging, only near the face or at the tips, barely noticeable, pronounced, and so on.

Ladder bob without bangs

If a lady has a low forehead or an insufficiently elongated face, it is recommended to choose a bob with a ladder without bangs. In this case, the haircut will visually elongate the face, make it look better, highlight the eyes, and emphasize the irresistibility of the smile.

Ladder bob with bangs

A short cut in a bob goes well with any bangs - straight, thick bangs will help hide a forehead that is too high, sparse or torn ones will make the features softer, a long one will perfectly complement the short cut, making the hairstyle more defined, and a side cut will add sophistication and creativity to the look.

Kare with a ladder near the face

The most popular type of ladder is the one that starts from the bangs or eye level and is cut along the entire length of the hair, but only on the strands near the face. In most cases, transitions are made stepwise and noticeable - it looks very original. If you complement this haircut with creative coloring, you can create a personal, unique and irresistible image.

Ladder bob for short hair

Contrary to misconceptions, a ladder can also be formed on short varieties of bobs, for example, with a maximum length of strands up to the chin. This haircut looks very stylish. It is most often preferred by special ladies - mysterious, romantic, with a rich inner world and complex character.

Ladder bob for medium hair

The average length of hair in a bob is an excellent basis for creating a ladder as a frame for the contour of the haircut. It can be cut not only on the front strands, but also on the back ones, creating an angle towards the face.

Bob-bob with ladder

The ladder is a great addition to the super creative bob. It makes it more textured, deep and personal. Thanks to the design of the edging of the “Bob” with a ladder, it loses its total roundness, while maintaining volume, which allows it to be worn even by ladies with a round and full face.

Elongated bob with a ladder

An elongated bob with a ladder implies the presence of a longer lower part of the hair, falling noticeably below the shoulders. The ladder is most often formed on the main shorter mass, and the lower long strands remain straight. Or a ladder is also formed on them, but only much lower with a significant gap between the first and second levels.

Long bob with ladder

A long bob is the most suitable base for creating a ladder, which can start right from the bangs, eye level or chin. The presence of long strands allows you to create chic stepped or smooth transitions.

Kare on a ladder leg

A ladder in a bob with a leg is needed to create a beautiful contour at the front of the haircut, which makes it more modern and feminine.

Ladder on a square with extension

A bob with an extension has in its contour an angle on each side, that is, a smooth lengthening of the strands from the back of the head to the face. In this case, the ladder is useful in two cases - to beautifully frame the front strands - those closest to the face and the rear strands - those that form the corner.

Asymmetrical bob-ladder

An asymmetrical square can also be an excellent basis for creating a ladder. In this case, it is formed of different lengths and can begin both at the same and at different levels. This haircut is difficult in that you need to be able to tie together different sides in order to make the image harmonious - only an experienced hairdresser with spatial thinking, as well as a sense of style and refined taste, can do this.

Haircut options for women that don't require styling

Today, asymmetrical haircuts for short hair are presented in various options. Each girl will be able to choose her own hairstyle to highlight the natural beauty of her face, as well as hide its flaws. A well-executed haircut will add volume to fine hair, but thick hair, on the contrary, will become manageable and look much neater. If the strands are too heavy, then you should use thinning.

With a shaved temple

If a woman turns to a professional, he will be able to cut her hair so that the bare parts will be visible when styling, and they can be hidden with one stroke of the comb.

The silhouette of the hairstyle is preserved, while the front strands are long, like in a bob haircut.

On weakened, thin strands, it is best to make a multi-layered graduated bob. Firstly, this is additional volume. And secondly, getting rid of split ends and untidy ends. This bob is cut like a ladder or cascade. Suitable for almost all girls, but chubby young ladies should definitely consult a stylist so that a new hairstyle does not make the oval of the face plumper.

asymmetrical - ideal for smooth, thick curls. Helps visually narrow a square face shape.

Types of bob haircuts: No. 2 Bob-bob

The bob is the leader among haircuts of this kind. Includes two stylish and feminine haircuts. The versatility of this hairstyle knows no bounds. It is suitable for both young girls and older women. There are different types of bob haircuts. Each of them has its own characteristics and is suitable for a specific face type. Today, a symmetrical bob with an even cut reaching to the earlobes and a straight parting is in fashion. This option looks good on absolutely straight and smooth hair.

A textured bob with soft contours has become an excellent alternative to the classic version. This haircut is suitable for hair of any thickness and coarseness.

Bob-kare looks great with elongated strands near the face. They can be long or slightly elongated. At the same time, the transition from the occipital part to the temporal zone is smooth.

An asymmetrical bob is suitable for girls who are not afraid to experiment with their appearance.

Types of bob haircuts: No. 5 Bob on the leg

A bob with a stem is a neat and elegant haircut that suits any hair type. It should be borne in mind that a bob with a leg exposes the neck, so those with short or full necks should avoid this option. A bob for short hair gives the hair additional volume, making the look more feminine and soft.

• cut in steps, with smooth transitions in length;
• length at the top - no more than 18 cm;
• the back of the head is short;
• no bangs;
• hair lengthens towards the face.
