The best bob haircuts for women over 50 with fine hair are cut with layers and texture to add more volume to your hair. These cuts can also enhance your jawline and cheekbones.
Hairstylist and educator Brendan Foreman of Bideford, UK describes the perks of a bob cut. “This hairstyle never ages a woman as long as it’s cut to suit her. It has many variations with tons of ways to be worn.”
Consult your hairstylist about what length suits your face shape and features. Also, ask which bob cut they can recommend based on your personality and lifestyle.
Always choose to have subtle layers to give volume and softness to fine, limp hair. Foreman suggests, “Reinforce the fullness by using volume sprays and thickening foams. These will accentuate the layers within the bob shape.”
