Confident, Chic Short Hair Trends for Women Over 50

I recently spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about the short hair trends of 2026 and why now is such a great time for women over 50 to embrace a fresh, shorter style. One thing I always tell my clients is that a great short cut can frame your face, add movement, and feel effortless to style every day.

A chic bob remains a standout choice. It’s classic yet modern and works beautifully with natural texture, whether your hair is sleek or softly waved. The precision of this cut gives structure without feeling heavy, which is especially flattering as hair changes over time.

I’m also loving the soft pixie-inspired cuts gaining traction. These styles offer a polished look that still feels playful and easy to maintain. They highlight your features and make everyday styling quick and simple.

Another trend I’m excited about is the tixie, a hybrid between a bob and a pixie. It’s flattering, versatile, and perfect if you want something bold but still very wearable.

Finally, textured crops with light layering are ideal for adding volume and personality without extra effort. They give hair a lived-in, confident feel that works at any age.

Short hair in 2026 is all about confidence, ease, and celebrating your natural beauty.
