The medium hair is very versatile, as Aitana Sánchez Gijón shows us here in one of its most current versions: just below the shoulder, with a parting in the middle and a very defined wave that concentrates on a single wave on each side .
HAIR AT 50: LONG BOB
HAIR AT 50: LONG BOB
She's one of the newcomers to the 50-something gang … and she's better than ever! We are used to seeing her in her videos and concerts with an incredible hair thanks to the extensions, but we were left with her real hair, a stylish long bob that stylizes her features and that, thanks to those meticulously degraded highlights, illuminates her face.

As soon as we saw Julia Roberts with this medium length haircut, we knew that going through the scissors had been a great option for her. To begin with, she is surely more comfortable and to continue, we see her very favored. This type of cut is very easy to maintain and, in addition, it gives movement and volume to the hair. All a success.

HAIR AT 50: SEMI-PICKED BOB
Here's proof that a long bob lends itself to a multitude of hairstyles. Take advantage of the trend of asymmetries and copy Cate Blanchett's look: loose on one side and gathered behind the ear on the other. Very chic and informal at the same time.
Hair at 50: chop
Hair at 50: chop
The chop haircut (lately it's also called "karlie" since Karlie Kloss also wore it) is a classic that never goes out of style. It's chic and super flattering.

Julianne Moore is another of the great examples that at 50 we can continue to experiment with our hair the same as at 20. We may no longer feel like dyeing it pink, but we can find a haircut that allows us to change our hairstyle when we feel like it. Julianne wears a classic half hair and combs it to the side, as in the image, but we have also seen her on other occasions with waves, ultra-smooth, parted in the middle … Take a look at these other haircuts and perfect hairstyles for medium hair.
Hair at 50: elegant mane
Hair at 50: elegant mane
This length is one of the ones we like the most, because it is not uncomfortable at all and it looks just as good as when the hair reaches the middle of the chest, and even better. Nicole Kidman's cut is with very long layers and lopsided bangs. Waves and a three-dimensional coloring do the rest to give movement to the hair.
Hair at 50: scaled
Hair at 50: scaled
The fringe area is key to defining many haircuts, because in many cases they are what make the difference. In this case, Jennifer Aniston's cut could be called a normal layered cut, but the key is that the bangs are scaled so that it blends with the layers of the rest of the hair.
Hair at 50: long and with bangs
Hair at 50: long and with bangs
We loved this look from Jane Seymour, because it shows that you can wear long hair with bangs at any age. In fact, bangs always rejuvenate because, in addition to providing a boyish look, it is ideal for hiding the wrinkles on the forehead.
Haircut at 50: Monica Bellucci
Haircut at 50: Monica Bellucci
Another fan of long hair with bangs is Monica Bellucci. For a long time this cut has given it character, personality and a certain air of rebellion … And we are talking in the past, because recently it has surprised us with a very rejuvenating cut, the bob in its most mini version.

Hair at 50: Monica Bellucci
We love Monica Bellucci's new look, a very trendy mini bob at the jawline that gives it a modern and sophisticated air. The side parting helps to soften the look and therefore take away a few years. A super wise choice. Great!

Sandra Bullock's cut is a bob but, in this case, she wears it without layers, only with the front locks longer than the rest and in scale. It is a very elegant cut, although it requires always wearing it without frizz and shiny to look in all its splendor.
Hair at 50: PICKED UP IN TAIL
Hair at 50: PICKED UP IN TAIL
If you do not want to sacrifice your hair, but you have very fine hair, you can use a high tail, like the one Belén Rueda wears. It is an infallible resource. The key is not to comb it too tight at the top and to open it up and give it texture from behind. A bit hollow at the top, with side bangs and some loose strands … and voilà !, we have a casual and youthful look.
Hair at 50: curly
Hair at 50: curly
Do you have curly hair? Well, let your loops be free and shape them with a layered cut like Andie MacDowell's. You see that she wears it super long, so do not cut yourself if you want to show off your hair.
Hair at 50: wavy hair
Hair at 50: wavy hair
Sarah Jessica Parker's hair is iconic and an example for lots of women that they can wear their hair at any age. She wears very light caps to give some shape, but the key is that she wears it wavy and with the parting in the middle, two fundamental features to carry a youthful and carefree style.
Hair at 50: blunt
Hair at 50: blunt
If you do not have a lot of hair, it is better to pass this type of cut because it "empties" the hair a lot. It can be, yes, the perfect solution if you have thick hair or a lot of it. We add some layers and a very subtle front parade and we have a look of 10.
HAIR AT 50: ASYMMETRIC BOB
HAIR AT 50: ASYMMETRIC BOB
You can also make a Naomi Watts cone and cut your hair asymmetrically like this flattering bob that also takes years off! The tips slightly out on the longest side, where the fequillo wears, provides a sinuous touch that gives harmony to the face. And don't forget that hair behind the ear is a rejuvenating gesture!
What haircuts can be worn with more than 50 years? TO-DOS (but these are our favorites):
- Medium mane. We like them all and in all ways, but if we had to choose, we would stick with Julia Roberts' wavy bob, Sandra Bullock's asymmetrical and Julianne Moore's versatile.
- Long manes. Wearing long hair is not at all at odds with age. We have fallen in love with Jane Seymour's super long hair, because she also wears it with bangs, we also stayed with Sarah Jessica Parker's wavy and Andie MacDowell's curly.
- Short hair. We love short hair at any age, but at this age you have to be careful not to fall into cuts that are too serious. That is why we are very fans of Hellen Mirren's chop.
