Here we are talking about medium length hairstyles for women over 50, that are becoming more and more popular. Shorter locks are super chic and easy to maintain. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to crop your hair and pixies are your only option.

If you’re looking at wearing your locks in a style that flatters your face, hide a receding hairline, mask facial wrinkles, and give you effortless beauty, think midi lengths. Another plus is that they come in several styles and options and look fascinating in most hair colors.
