Recommended hairstyles for fashionable people in their 50s and how to tell a hairdresser!

Bob is recommended for women’s hairstyles in their 50s!

“It seems like women in their 50s and older tend to have the same hairstyle for many years, or think that this is the only one that suits them. This is Tomomi Sato.

Long hair, which is popular among people in their 20s and 30s, loses luster and firmness in their 50s. Recommended hairstyles for those in their 50s are bob, medium, and short, which are easy to style after cutting and look fashionable.

Bob, in particular, can be arranged in a variety of ways, so it seems to be a “hairstyle that never fails” that anyone can look stylish.

Ms. Sato has witnessed many hair projects, and she realized that “there are a lot of hairstyles that suit each person.” “Even with bobs, there are countless variations in length and shape. There is always a bob that suits each person.

The point is to convey the image you want to be!

So how should we try new hairstyles?　

“First, let me know what image you want to be a hairdresser. When choosing a hairstyle, what is more important than the shape of your face and hair quality is the image you want to have and the one that suits your current mood,” says Sato.

For example, even if the bangs down suits the shape of the face, it can’t be said to be a really nice hairstyle if it doesn’t match the person’s wishes.

“Many people only tell hairdressers about the desired length. Hairdressers are professionals when it comes to matching face shapes and hair textures, but you have to tell them what kind of image you want. I can’t tell you.

How to tell and ask for a good hairstyle at a beauty salon?

However, it is difficult to accurately convey the image you want to be to the hairdresser. Mr. Sato taught me how to tell and ask for a good hairstyle at a beauty salon.

Point 1: Say words that make you happy to be praised

The most important thing is to convey the image of wanting to be a beautician. Write down 20 words that make you happy to be praised, such as “beautiful” and “healing,” and narrow them down to three important ones. “If you think about it a lot and then narrow it down, you’ll find that your vague ideal image will come together unexpectedly. If you tell your hairdresser this, you won’t fail.” (Mr. Sato)

Point 2: Communicate your usual care methods

Tell them how you usually take care of your hair, such as whether you take a bath at night or in the morning, and whether you use a brush or hand to dry your hair. They will style your hair to match your habits.

Point 3: Best if you have a picture of the hairstyle you want to be

If you have a sample photo or image of a hairstyle you like, bring it with you. Prepare 3 or more. You can have a deeper understanding of the hairstyle you want to become a hairdresser.

A must-see for women over 50! Shortcut to fashion = hairstyle

Changing your hairstyle can refresh you, make you more positive, and change your mind, but it seems that fashion is also undergoing major changes.

“If you change your hairstyle to match the image you want to be, your clothes and gestures will strangely change. There will be a lot more clothes that suit you better than before,” says Sato. For women in their 50s and over who have more fashion concerns, starting with a hair update seems to be a shortcut to turning it into a wonderful look.

Based on the three points Mr. Sato taught me, four “Halmek” readers ordered the hairstyles they wanted to have at the beauty salon.

Recommended hairstyle 1: Bob style with volume on top

First, Ms. Yoko Muramatsu, 62 years old, whose hair is barely reaching her shoulders. She was long when she was younger, but she cut it little by little to the length she is now. She doesn’t want her hair to get damaged, so she keeps her gray hair to a minimum.

When I told the beautician in charge, Kaoru Sumi of RUALA, “I want to look youthful, lively, and beautiful,” she transformed into a light bob.

・Lively
・Pretty

“The weight of my hair is flattened on the top of my head, which is why it looks docile. I added volume to the top of my head and around my ears to make it look youthful and energetic.” (Mr. Kado)

The bangs stand up, and Mr. Muramatsu can’t hide his surprise, saying, “There was so much hair!”

In addition, Ms. Muramatsu said that with the change in her hairstyle, “I think she looks good in clothes that are different from before.” In the spring and summer, he often wears T-shirts, but when he traveled to Vietnam the week after the shoot, he gave me a happy report saying, “I tried a soft blouse!”

Recommended hairstyle 2: Youthful short hair with a rhombus silhouette

Next is Mr. Y, 61 years old, who has been perming hair for about 40 years because of his straight hair. Because it is easy to get a perm, it seems that she sleeps with curlers wrapped around the top of her head, but her sides are crushed and she has a square silhouette.

I told Mr. Kado that I wanted my hair to be elegant, look young, and beautiful, and that I didn’t want it to be too short. Then, the cut is minimized to give a youthful impression.

“Even though the hair is of good quality, the sides are squashed and the silhouette looks a little old-fashioned. (Mr. Kaku)

Ms. Y usually wears clothes in soft colors, but the orange clothes she brought also looked good on her.

“Just by changing your hairstyle, you feel so much better!” (Miss Y)

Recommended hairstyle 3: For a short bob with a bright impression

Next, 55-year-old Tomoko Katsura will challenge a new hairstyle at the MINX Ginza store. Since she has the opportunity to wear a kimono, she wears it at a length that allows her to wear it up.

In addition to the image of “beautiful, gorgeous, and sophisticated,” Katsura wanted to have a “front-down bob like Ryoko Yonekura, who plays a doctor.” According to MINX’s Satoru Tsuchiya, “In order to make people think ‘nice’, it is important to make an impression not only from the front, but also from the side and back.” Boldly shaved her neckline to create a three-dimensional finish.

You can see the piercings through the gaps in the hair around the ears for a gorgeous look. By making bangs, sophisticated cuteness was born.

Mr. Katsura is happy that his family praised him after the haircut. “As you get older, it becomes harder to change her style,” she said. Now that her neck is smoother, she seems to be able to enjoy wearing her stole.

Recommended hairstyle 4: From long hair to youthful medium hair

On the other hand, Fukiko Sato, 56 years old, has not changed the length of her hair and the parting of her bangs for over 20 years. “She doesn’t know what she likes and doesn’t have the courage to change,” she says.

However, since the long hair lowers the point of view, the impression that the sagging of the face stands out. When Mr. Shunsuke Takahashi of GARDEN suggested a short bob, he couldn’t get rid of his prejudice, saying, “Short hair doesn’t make your face look smaller. Also, your hair is messy and looks sloppy.”

So, while maintaining the style so far, I aim for a hairstyle that I think is wonderful “now”. Even if it splashes, it has become a medium that makes you feel lightness rather than sloppiness.
