There are so many different hair styles that look great on mature women, from trending bob cuts to sleek short styles. Yet, while we’re huge fans of these shorter length cuts, we’re also firm believers that there’s no need to say goodbye to long hair just because you’re getting older. It’s on these occasions that a medium length cut can be the perfect choice allowing you to retain your length while also looking incredibly chic as you age.
To find out just why a medium length cut is so great for women over 50, I spoke to Paul Percival, hairstylist and founder of Percy & Reed. “As you age you may notice your hair is a little thinner and needing more colour (unless you’re embracing the grey)," he says. "So what you don’t want is for it to be too long and for the length to be dragging it down or for it to feel thinner because it is longer."
