Girly Summer Braids Are a No-No for Hair over 50

August brings the hot heat of the dog days. When it gets hot we like to get our hair out of our face and neck to stay cool. Sweating like a pig is never in style. 😉

While as little girls, Mom braided the hair or made a nice pony tail or ballerina knot using plastic pins, barrettes, and rubber-bands with little plastic animals, fruits or just beads, this look is ridiculous on any female over 12.

Be Aware of Ageing Up-Dos

Fighting the summer heat with an up-do is not only difficult with respect to the hair jewelry and/or accessories needed. Any French knot or low ballerina knot can easily look matronly and aging after 40. Fabric headbands may help to absorb sweat, but keep the skin from being ventilated which may end up in feeling uncomfortable despite the hair is out of the face and neck. And what about the embarrassing sweat spots? Ok, at the gym, but nowhere else.

How to Fight Summer Heat in Style when You Have Long Hair

One of my readers asked me how to cope with this problem without going to the radical solution of chopping the hair off or anything in between. Hair barrettes are a great option for older ladies to keep their long hair at bay.

The Pony Tail Grew Up

The Kate, Princess of Wales made the high-ponytail a classic. She often wears this type of ponytail at official events. Today, a high ponytail is a classic.

The Modern French Knot

The French knot – the old way – had all hair ends properly pulled underneath so they wouldn’t show. The new way to style the French knot is to exactly avoid that neatness. Instead, let the ends stick out as if you had just put your hair up on the go like in the photo below.

The Solution: Upscale with Hair Jewelry for Mature Women

We may not admit it, but mom’s solution wasn’t that bad at all. We will just have to upscale the pieces. In this post, I show you my barrette collection that I edited over the years to illustrate what I mean with up-scaled pieces. The photos also share examples how to use them or similar types of barrettes to look ageless when getting the hair out of your face.

The updo in the photo above is inspired by the movie Twister. Professor Harding made her up-do with a pencil while hunting tornadoes with her students. Of course, you can also use artisan painted “chopsticks” like pins.

Pro tip: An important trick is to not have the updo look like your mom did it. Go messy.

Beautiful Hair Is the Best

Of course, beautiful hair is the best accessory. Therefore, don’t forget about hair extensions. They even may cover thinning hair.

When you have no time for styling your hair wearing a wig may be an option.

A stunning hair color is also an asset to consider. It has not to be a breath-taking or statement color. Even gray hair is a choice, not default. When you go along the hair coloring route, ensure that you find the best hair color for your skin tone.

Of course, the farther your new color is from your current, natural shade, the higher is the maintenance of the dyed color.

An essential thing to consider when dyeing is the color scheme of your wardrobe. Ask yourself whether your choice works with your clothing’s. For instance, can redheads wear red?
