Are you wondering what’s in style for hairstyles for senior women? There’s no better way to see what’s trending right now than looking to the red carpet for inspiration!
The times have dramatically changed. Senior women (over 70) are no longer cutting off all of their hair or wearing it long and securing it in a tight bun. These days, senior women are opting for more fashionable hairstyles. But don’t worry. Some of these hairstyles require a bit of maintenance, but several are low maintenance while still looking red carpet ready. Check out Kathy Bates, for example. She has gone naturally gray and has a low-maintenance short hairstyle. She’s looking the best she ever has!
Here you will find photos of the very latest hairstyles for senior women in order of appearance on the red carpet. (If you would like to see our favorite looks check out Hairstyles for Senior Women – Classic Red Carpet Looks.) We also share insider information, including which celebrity hairstylists created the look as well as the tools and products used to create the style where applicable.
