Layers and Curls

If you're a fan of curly hair, or better yet, you have naturally curly hair, you can add layers throughout the hair to give your curls a smooth blend. Layers will give your hair volume and add a good texture. The overall look will be natural and effortless. You can get perfect curls with hot rollers or a curling iron, depending on your desired size. Try to concentrate the curls on the lower half of your hair because you don't want your hair to get mushy.

Salt and Pepper Balayage

If you're the kind of person who lives by the philosophy of 'if you’ve got it, flaunt it,' then this look is perfect for you. Our past hair color frequently causes issues as we age and develop gray hair. But you can get your natural color with gray blending pigments. Going for a salt and pepper balayage will take a few color appointments at the salon before you can get completely maintenance-free hair for the season. Balayage will also help you get a more smooth and bouncy texture to your hair.

Side Part and Blow Dry

A side parting gives you extra volume right where you need it and gives your upper hair a bouncy flair. You can get this style by visiting the salon or backcombing the crown hair at home. This hairstyle is suitable for both casual and formal events. You can make it even better with accessories like a headband or a hair clip. Overall, this styling tip will exude femininity and confidence. Just use hair spray to help the blow-dry last longer.

Messy Waves With Layers

Cherish your natural curls because layered and frantic waves are back! You can keep the layers long if you have thinning hair; don't worry, it will work quite beautifully in your favor and will give you a more modern look. This hairstyle generally goes well with women over 60 who have glasses. But don't try to do a perm because it will give you the '80s look we're trying to avoid. Keep it messy and in style!
