Fresh and simple-looking, this look actually relies on some very clever hair coloring techniques to produce just the right shade of edgy ‘urban platinum’ blonde! Balancing out the artificiality of the color, Pixie is wearing her hair in a simple, layered chin-length bob. And it looks great! The center-part gives way to a casual fringe separated to leave the forehead clear and cool in hot temperatures. The slight wavy movement creates interest at the sides and the ends of the hair are heavily textured for even more ‘urban chic’!

With bright blue eyes like Brittany’s it’s a good policy to choose a simple style that keeps the focus on the face. This style combines the pale blonde that’s softer than the harsh, platinum-blonde and dark roots look, with some very subtle golden blonde lowlights. The effect adds more colour dimension to the hair and we love the unexpectedly golden roots along the side parting and at the sides! The cut is a medium bob with heavily textured ends to add an urban vibe and graduated up towards the face to emphasise the lips and Brittany’s pretty chin!

Jennifer Grey short hairstyle – popular medium – short curly hairstyle for women over 50s

Jennifer Grey Short Hair Style  - Curly Hairstyle for Thick Hair
Jennifer Grey Short Hair Style – Curly Hairstyle for Thick Hair

This is a lovely style, but not the best choice for Jennifer, I’m afraid, because the length and the tousled, beach-casual curls all combine to make her look older. The centre parting is fine on her oval-shaped face, but not with volume so high up on either side. Having a flat section on the top centre of your head, which moves out to create a square-shape around the forehead is definitely something to avoid! But apart from that, the tousled waves are nice enough – though rather outdated when the latest short cuts are so much more imaginative and could flatter Jennifer’s face a lot more!

The hair silhouette is rounded and curved down the sides to balance out her strong jaw. However, the line is broken up by the ultra-trendy, outward-pointing tips to produce a stunning contemporary look!

Nicole Ari Parker Short Hair Style  - Layered Short Wavy Hairstyle for Thick Hair
Nicole Ari Parker Short Hair Style – Layered Short Wavy Hairstyle for Thick Hair

This interesting style has a lot of good points, but breaks one of the important rules of hair styling – don’t create a diamond shape around a long face. However, the colour technique is fabulous, mixing beautiful gold highlights and ombré, below warm brown grown-out roots on top. The lighter shades and trendy tousled twists add the illusion of width at cheekbone level, which is great to balance out a long face! Where this style goes wrong is to place the parting too high up the head, so Nicole’s already high forehead looks even higher and totally out of proportion. With more fringe covering the forehead or a lower side-parting and fringe swept across the forehead, this beautiful style would suit Nicole’s long face-shape perfectly!
