Description
As we age, our hair tends to lose its elasticity and shine, making it harder to style. However, just because we are over 50 does not mean we have to sacrifice style for convenience. Wearing your hair up is a great way to look polished while keeping your hair out of your face. In this article, we will give you tips on how to wear your hair up after 50.
How to
There are many ways to wear your hair up after 50. Some popular styles include:
- Buns
- Ponytails
- Braids
- Twists
When choosing a style, consider your hair type and face shape. For example, if you have thin hair, a messy bun may not be the best option as it can make your hair look even thinner. If you have a round face, a high ponytail can elongate your face.

- Brush your hair and gather it into a ponytail at the nape of your neck.
