Best Tressed: Easy, Pretty Hairstyles
The Best Budget 'Do
"Allover layers instantly make long hair look pulled together, plus they let you go months without a trim," says New York City salon owner Mark Garrison.
Low-Maintenance Mane
- Shoulder length or longer
- Layers from mid-length to ends
- Long bangs -- or none at all
- Straight to wavy texture
Styling Secrets
A trim every six weeks can be costly; at $40 plus tip, it could set you back about $400 a year. Go every four to six months with this style and a little TLC. Apply a mask (such as Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Undo: Dryness Reversal Treatment, $5.99, drugstores) weekly, and a heat-protecting mousse (check the label) before blow-drying with a round brush or using hot rollers.

They are nice hairstyles, yes...but is it their hair or weaves? Might be easier, but weaves are costly. What happened to natural?
3/2/2012 10:16:15 PM Report AbuseWhy can't women 50+ wear longer hair? After all, we WERE created with hair that grows. Who is to say what is attractive? I've seen women with long gray hair, and if the hair is healthy and well maintained...what is the problem?!?! Trends come and go, by the time a woman hits her 50's...she should have enough self confidence to wear her hair however she likes! She's earned that right!

9/23/2011 10:00:32 AM Report Abusepayounger I am an older woman and I feel that I have the right to look anyway I want within reason and if I want to color my hair for a more youthful look then you or no one else should have anything to say about it. It is not any of your business. I think that a woman with long hair no matter what her age is attractive as long as she takes care of her hair. I don't think that she should try to look like a teen as far as her clothes but leave us alone. we just want to be beautiful also!
