What are some good hairstyles for women over 45? Something easy to manage and chic?

I have an oval face and fine hair. Thanks!What are some good hairstyles for women over 45? Something easy to manage and chic?
Great question. So many fashion hairstyles scream 15-22 years old. I am just starting to age out of a lot of these styles.





I actually take a cue from business magazines. The advertisements are aimed at a more established age bracket so they usually have a more sofisticated style.





Also check out the Trish and Trinny books. ';What not to wear'; and ';Trish and Trinny take on America';. The models in the books show lots of styles that real women can wear.





Overall my feelings for over 45 hair:





No longer than collarbone length. Any longer looks like an aging hippy, and can look desperate for youth so it creates the oppocite impression.





Work with your natural texture. If you have straight hair don't try to curl it everyday. Working against your natural texture can look overly ';done'; which also gives the impression of trying to hard.





If your hair is straight, wear it straight. Style it with a flat iron to give a polished look to the ends and add shape/swing to fine hair. Reese Withspoon is a great example of perfect flat ironing for shape. The trick is to hold the hair out straight from your head. NOT pulling it down like Posh Spice. Don't be shy to add some waves for a night out. The flat iron can do magic with a few twists of the wrist!





Watch out for hair color. Don't go more than 2 shades lighter or darker than your hair color in college. If you are signifigantly grey consider some highlights to blend them in, vs. a flat color to kill them dead.





Bangs are a must on mature faces, they cover a multitude of aging signs on the upper face. Look at Goldie Hawn's hair. Never pulled back harshly showing the hairline/ Forehead area. She is almost 60 and looks like she is in her 40's because of strategic bangs.





If you don't know what to try, keep an eye out for a women with similar hair texture to yours that has a great cut/style. Ask her who cuts her hair and go see that stylist.





Overall: I would say a long bob, with side swept bangs plus layers for body.What are some good hairstyles for women over 45? Something easy to manage and chic?
A really well cut bob should offer you a lot of different options. It's short enough to work with business attire but you still have enough hair left to curl or pin up for dressier occasions.
