Many women over 50 age have a tendency to cover up their naturally turning silver hair. As women, we’re taught from a young age that getting older is unattractive and that we should cover up the gray or silver with hair dye to maintain a youthful look.

However, aging is nothing to be ashamed of, and embracing your natural hair color is one of the most attractive qualities! 

If you’re a woman over 50 who hasn’t yet covered up your silver hair or are growing it out and are curious how you can make it look its best, we’ve got several beautiful silver hairstyles for you to try! From highlights to ombre to a full head of silver, there’s something for every lady.

Stylish Silver Hairstyles for Women Over 50

Once you see the below beautiful ways to wear silver hair color for over 50 women, you’ll feel more confident than ever in welcoming your age!

1. Straight Silver Pixie

If you have a small face, consider a spritely silver pixie with smooth short layers! This hairstyle is quite suitable for women over 50 because it’s easy to style, flatters bone structure, and also works well for women whose hair is thin or fine.

2. Silver Micro-braids or Twists

If you have natural black hair and like a shoulder-length cut, go for a silver twist or micro-braid hairstyle. The above hairstyle is only half braided, leaving the ends natural. Choose to wear loose or add a colorful headband to keep hair off the face. If you have short hair, you can also get this silver hairstyle in extensions!

3. Casual Silver Ponytail

Is your hair’s texture mostly straight? It will wear silver hair color nicely as a balayage or ombre and look very chic in a low ponytail. To help with face-framing, have your hairstylist cut in short layers or long curtain bangs at the front.
