Textured pixie cut
Benston is also currently loving textured pixie cuts on women over 50. She points to Sharon Stone’s current cut, with length at the top for body and texture and shorter sides and back, as a perfect example. “The style is modern, versatile and flattering for her face shape,” she says. “Sharon’s pixie cut often looks effortless, with a natural, tousled texture that keeps it looking youthful and fresh but can also be styled in many different ways to dress up her look, making it a great option for women over 50 who want a low-maintenance, stylish look.”
Small notes that a pixie cut is also great for someone looking to showcase their eyes. “For a real change, I would take it shorter — think somewhere between Twiggy and Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby,” he says. “What I love about these shapes is the freedom and confidence they evoke. Whether styled sleek or with texture, in my opinion, there is nothing better than a beautiful, confident woman with a short haircut.”
