The winter is the most ideal time to give your appearance a new stylish-hairstyle or a new color makeover. And whether it is the classic bobs or the adorable layered cuts, and whether it is the soft blonde or the hot reds, the possibilities to showcase your personality and adopt the warm spirit of the season are bottomless.
Women above 40 will always be in the right dresses because these styles are a demonstration that they can be confident, elegant, and a little bit daring.
Fiery Modern Bob with Bold Copper Glow
Something about winter light makes bright colors even more bright, so this is evidenced by this modern bob with a blazing copper shade. The cut itself is smooth and slightly tilted and drops exactly on the jawline providing that smooth and polished but effortless feel. It is trendy without being flashy, and the cozy shade of orange-red is the best remedy to cold and grey days. In women above 40, it is a boosting style that makes the face look beautiful and it is fun and powerful at the same time.
To ensure this hotness does not wear away, I would always suggest spending on a color-protecting shampoo- Pureology Reviving Red is a popular one as it keeps the hair bright and at the same time, makes the strands soft during the dry winter seasons. You can also have a quick gloss treatment at the salon during the season to bring back that bold glow in case you are feeling dull.
As an individual, I believe this bob is the perfect combination of what I desire in winter: it is low maintenance in shape, but the color itself is a form of brash happiness that makes you feel better as you look in the mirror. Cunningham, who is a celebrity colorist, frequently reminds her clients that the warm copper-colored shades are particularly flattering on winter complexions, she is so correct. This is a hairstyle that is saying: Yes, I am taking the season, but my way.
Glossy Mid-Length Layers with Volume
It is winter, and nothing is as soft as mid length layered cuts with some bounce in them. This is a hairstyle that forms body and shine and has a timeless shape that is formed just above the shoulders. The ends are inwardly curled to provide natural fullness and it is a good fit to women who would not like spending too much time on styling. The smooth finish is emphasized by the glossy black color, and combined with the voluminous layers, it is classic and at the same time very modern.
The best thing about this style is the way it fits in the hectic mornings. Sometimes a speedy blow-dry using a round brush is sufficient to re-set the shape and a light spray of shine (I use the Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine) is enough to maintain that mirror finish. The cut is volumetric in nature and this is a savior in times when winter hats deflate everything.
I have had a variation of this outfit in colder seasons and the effect that it gave to my features was immediate. It is not too fancy, it is smooth, easy to wear, and perfect when you need to look like you worked hard, yet you may not have. This combination of grace and comfort cannot be conquered by women who are above 40 years.
Sleek Lob with Sharp Bangs
A lob will never be out of fashion and combined with a sharp cut bangs, it will become one of those power cuts that will make you feel in charge. The smooth, straight design is very precise in framing the face and sweeps the collarbone to create a sophisticated finish. The jet-black color intensifies the drama, the crispness of the bangs provides the haircut with that high-fashion and edgy short look that surprisingly works in everyday life.
In case you are dealing with a cut as such, it is important to keep frizz at bay. I would suggest a smoothing serum, such as Straight Away by Oribe, which is a classic example of a serum that will give the effect of satin without dragging hair down. To keep the sharpness, a flat iron touch-up at least once a week should be used in case your natural texture is more inclined to wave.
This cut is reminiscent of the kind of style that would be found at the Paris Fashion Week- simple, bold, and totally memorable. And it is edgy, but also it is very wearable. Whenever I returned to bangs I felt immediately refreshed, as though I had banged a reset button on my entire appearance. That is just what winter needs at times.
Soft Layered Blonde with Gentle Bangs
Something undoubtedly flattering about a layered blonde cut is the fact that it flows freely around the face. This style has a mixture of long and feathered layers with soft bangs making dimension and not overpowering the features. It is a slit that immediately illuminates the face, particularly during winter when the skin is usually pale. The lighter highlights on the buttery blonde shade make it feel both modern and timeless as it also has that soft-focus quality we all adore.
Rearing blonde layers during winter may be a challenge because it may dry out easily. I testify to the fact that I use Olaplex No. 3 once a week to reinforce, and a purple shampoo, such as Fanola No Yellow, prevents brassiness. These small ceremonies are a long way in preserving the color fresh and alive in the grey of January.
Whenever I have a cut like this, I am more playful in my style, it is not rough, and there is a bit of fun in it as well. It does not scream to get attention, but people never fail to notice the brightness and motion. The ideal choice when it comes to women who desire to remain light and elegant without reducing the practicality.
Charming Sassy Pixie with Edgy Texture
It is a kind of a freedom that short hair gives you and this long pixie with its spiky, textured edges is a confidence boosting piece of clothing. It is sharp, edgy and absolutely low maintenance; the type of cut that appears styled even when you barely touched it. The piecey texture and the cropped length elevate the cheekbones, and it appears fresh and modern short instead of classic. In the case of women above 40, it is that perfect blend of slick and handsome flirtatiousness.
It could not be easier when it comes to styling: a bit of texturizing paste, such as Bumble and bumble Sumotech, and a toss of your fingers. And that is all that is required to give out the layers and angles. I also adore winter with a lightweight scalp serum because in winter you are exposed to the cold more with short hair.
I once had a pixie cut in a very snowy January and I recall how it felt to not be concerned about the issue of static hair or hat hair. It gave me the impression that I was brave and prepared to take any challenge. In case you are longing to make a radical change, this type of pixie may become your ideal re-do.
Soft Blonde Pixie with Feminine Waves
This little fairy is softer in his style, bending upon side-swept bangs and light waves which frame the face in a delicate way. The platinum-blonde color is fashionable and sunny, reflecting winter light in the most favorable manner. The only difference is that it is soft structured, it is not merely cropped, but rather made to emphasize bone structure and yet feel feminine. It is a cute but classy solution to short curly or wavy hair when you need something simple and yet sleek.
To take care of it, I would suggest a hydrating mousse to make the soft folds not stiff- Kerastase Curl Manifesto Crume works well even on shorter cuts. A small can of dry shampoo can also be used to maintain volume at the top particularly when winter hats flatten everything.
I always imagine it as the “cozy pixie- small, detailed and always wearing chunky knits and winter scarfs whenever I see a cut like this. It is evidence that the short styles do not necessarily imply harsh. They may be cozy, friendly and most importantly, completely stylish.
Layered Mid Length Cut with Curtain Bangs
It has a universally flattering quality about a mid length layered cut with curtain bangs. The flow of this style is soft and wraps around the face making the length long enough to be versatile. The blonde balayage gives it depth and brightness, which is ideal during the winter where natural light may seem limited. It is smooth but easy-going, a cut that is modern but not too fashionable.
To maintain them, I have been taught that layered cuts require some affection in the form of heat protectants. I prefer the Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray to keep ends smooth and safe in the process of styling. Even during winter hats, a volumizing mousse that is lightweight can ensure that those curtain bangs do not flatten out.
I have always found this sort of haircut inspirational- it possesses motion, it possesses flair and it does not require constant styling. This will be loved by women of over 40 who desire a chic, low maintenance cut and just the right amount of structure.
Classic Sleek Bob with a Polished Finish
A smooth short bob never goes out of fashion and this one is an art of beauty. Straight at the chin with slight curves inwards, it frames the face in the most clean manner. The honey-blonde color brings the warmth and neutralizes the coldness of the cut. It is that ideal combination of contemporary short accuracy and classic elegance that is applicable in every possible place, whether it is office days or even night out.
It is important to keep this bob shiny particularly during dry winter winds. To keep flyaways down, I would suggest a smoothing blow-dry cream such as Kérastase Discipline, to fix that mirror finish. Silk pillowcase also serves to minimize the issue of statical and this is a challenge during a drop in temperature.
I myself have put on a kind of this bob and what impressed me was the immediate modern and polished feeling it gave me. It is crisp but very feminine-one of the cuts that makes one talk on their behalf.
Loose Wavy Lob with Soft Blonde Dimension
A loose wavy lob is always a winter favorite to women who want something easy but stylish. The layers give a dishevelled appearance that is easy and sophisticated and the cool blonde with lowlights adds a dimension. It is a casual, light-hearted winter outfit, particularly when worn with warm sweaters and bright earrings. This multi-layered short-to-medium length cut is flexible enough to be worn straight, curled or air-dried to give a natural look.
In order to maintain waves, I would recommend a salt spray or a light styling cream. Ouai Wave Spray would be ideal to add that non-crunchy bend. It also works great in bringing back the waves the next day in the morning hence the style is truly low maintenance.
I never didn’t like the way a lob like this feels comfortable, and it is professional enough to work and relaxed enough to be worn on a weekend. To any woman above 40, it is one of those cuts which are universally flattering and will never appear old-fashioned.
Elegant Mid Length Blowout with Soft Waves
There is no better style that is as classic as a smooth mid length blowout with rounded ends. This chop emphasizes bulk and volume and the warm caramel shades that are interwoven in the strands have a warm wintery feel. It is smooth without being hard and the form gives the hair a sense of motion which is useful especially to women with thin hair who need a quick fix of volume.
What I have always liked about this appearance is that it is very versatile and can be worn smooth in the daytime and then add a few velcro rollers before going out in the evening to turn the waves up. Another styling cream such as the Supershine by Oribe will ensure that the hair stays soft and gives that healthy light-reflective look.
Edgy Short Pixie with Tousled Layers
The winter is the season when it is time to be boldly reinvented, and this edgy short pixie is precisely that. The cut is shreddy, stacked and rough, with a somewhat undress feel that is simultaneously cool and carefree. It strengthens bone structure, sharpens the jawline, and exudes that contemporary short energy that so many women over 40 long to have when they are ready to change.
I believe the trick to removing a pixie such as this one is confidence- it is one of such styles that makes you feel that you are carrying your personality along. A matte pomade such as Redken Rough Paste performs miracles in giving the hair definition without bringing it down. Best part? It is very low maintenance as compared to longer cuts.
Classic Short Bob with Rounded Bangs
Those who incline towards classic lines will find the soft rounded short bob with bangs a gorgeous option. It is a cut that is placed just at the jaw and curved inwards to give a face-framing effect. The bangs are used to balance the appearance, which adds a bit of softness to the fashion, and the style remains organized. It is classy but friendly-like the type of haircut you will never regret having done.
What I love about this cut is that it is absolutely matched with winter fashion: turtlenecks, statement earrings, even scarves do not seem to be out of place with it. It is kept in place by a light smoothing cream, however, the shape itself does much of the styling work.
Long Blonde Layers with Full Bangs
It is a full bang, long layered style that is a soft and romantic style of dressing that women opt to wear even during the colder seasons. The blonde color is making the face bright, and the bangs make the face look younger without losing the sophistication. It is a contemporary variation of conventional layers that are light and airy even though it is a longer cut.
I always believed that such a cut reminds me of a fresh winter breeze – maintaining the length but changing the overall impression with bangs. In case your hair is likely to flatten during cold weather, you can apply a round brush at the base during the blow-drying session to maintain the layers up.
Butterfly Cut with Layered Dimension
The butterfly cut has become ubiquitous in the recent past and it is understandable why so, it is flattering, youthful and suits perfectly women over 40 who desire volume. This version features massive sweeps, which encircle the face, and are smoothly fused to longer lengths. It also provides softness but adds shape to it so that it appears that you have more hair than you do.
I consider this cut to be the final winter glam hair style, the bouncy layers will stick out just enough over coats and sweaters and will have just the right amount of flair. To style, I would get a big-barrel curling iron and flip the layers outwards creating that butterfly shape.
Sleek Platinum Lob
Nothing is as eye-catching in the winter season as a smooth, platinum lob. This style maintains hair medium length, which falls on the collarbones with a blunt end which is sharp and yet elegant. The cold sound resembles cold mornings and the smooth cut makes everything elegant and stylish.
Platinum colors are extra hydrating in winter, and Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother is one of the products that I use to keep my strands shiny. It is a statement piece, yet one that everyone will stare at.
Soft Waves with Dimensional Highlights
Long layered waves with dimensional highlights can not be beaten when you desire movement and depth. This style uses warm lowlights with lighter strands so as to provide the type of richness that is comfortable but glamorous in winter. The amount of the mid-lengths makes it alive, and the waves themselves make it all soft and feminine.
I have always believed that such styles can be playful or elegant depending on how one dresses them up. In the case of women aged above 40, it is the type of haircut that is versatile and fits both in the work and in the social environment.
Chic Bob with Soft Bangs
The bob is sharp and soft at the same time with rounded edges and fragile bangs. The cut is placed above shoulders, and it is balanced between structure and femininity. The fine caramel shades that are incorporated in the brunette base make it warm and appealing to winter skins.
It is a fashion that I find to be quite safe but a very stylish decision, one that does not require a lot of day-to-day attention but one that will never go unintended. The light texturizing spray is sprayed on to give it motion without losing the polish.
Layered Shag with Wispy Bangs
To be playful and youthful, the shag with wispy bangs is making a huge resurgence. This slice off the volume across the mid-lengths and tips and gives it that cool slightly undone finish. The golden highlights of the brunette base make the edges soft, making the style friendly and retaining its trendy aspect.
Whenever I look at a shag like this I remember how well it keeps in the winter-time-it fits down under the hat and back again like a spring. This is an ideal choice among women who prefer to have fun and modern appearance without straining too much.
Classic Retro Bob with Side Part
There is nothing so classic as a retro-inspired deep-side parted bob. This hairstyle is loosely twisted under the hair, adding bulk at the ends but still making the appearance smooth and elegant. The dark brunette shade warms winter complexions and the designed but gentle form looks classy in any environment.
I am fond of the fact that this cut immediately transports to Old Hollywood glam and can be worn in every day life. A curling brush or hot rollers will make sure that the bounce is kept at the ends and a little hairspray will keep that shape in place but not stiff.
Soft Pastel Pink Lob
The lob in soft pastel pink is a dreamy concept that can be adopted by women who wish to have something playful this winter. The length is right over the shoulders, and the color, blush-colored, is a charming little touch that is surprisingly becoming on a mature skin. It is audacious yet in a subtle, feminine manner- it is just perfect to anyone who is willing to go out of the box.
Such a color requires additional attention a sulfate-free shampoo and a nourishing mask are essential to maintaining the color. And honestly? The style always gives you the impression that you have some kind of sparkle in your outfit even on gray days.
Long Glossy Layers with Curtain Bangs
Sometimes all you desire is shine and flow and this long layered cut with curtain bangs does the trick. The strands of black silk are very attractive in capturing the light and the bangs, as well, flatten the face and provide dimension. It is smooth, contemporary, and classic simultaneously- an ideal decision among women who are above 40 and do not want to lose their length.
The style is complemented by winter fashion, i.e. dark coats, red lipstick, and warm knitwear. In order to maintain the shiny look of the strands, a lightweight oil such as L’Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil would help in giving a silky look without being too heavy.
Layered Pixie-Bob with Volume
In case you are confused whether to get a bob or a pixie, this pixie-bob hybrid would be the solution. The cut layers cut short pieces through the crown to provide additional volume retaining longer face-framing strands. This is a vibrant and versatile style with the soft brown color with minor highlights.
It is one of those cuts that appear like it is styled on your busiest days. A blow-dry is used to fix all in place and a texturizing mousse is used to provide lift and definition. I would refer to this as a winter power cut – organized but entertaining.
Platinum Side-Swept Bob
This sleek winter bob with a side-sweep is the coolest girl cut of winter. The blonde is icy, and hence a perfect match to frosty mornings, and the side part provides it with drama and sophistication. It is a statement-maker, short, sharp and easily modern.
Fanola or Matrix So Silver are silver shampoos that cannot be ignored in ensuring that one keeps brassiness at bay. The form itself is low maintenance, but the color is worth considering- and it is worth every penny.
Chic Silver Textured Bob
The idea of natural grays has never been chic and this textured layer silver bob is a testament to that. It has the volume on the crown that allows it movement and the side-swept bangs make it playful and light. It is empowering, daring and exquisitely refined.
A purple shampoo after every week is necessary to maintain silver shades. I believe that a lot is said about this haircut, it is a bold decision that exudes sophistication yet remains fresh.
Copper-Toned Bob with Soft Curves
The final winter warmer is rich copper and this softly curved bob strikes a balance between chic and friendly. The face is framed with the rounded edges, and the copper-red is very bold, which gives energy and vibrancy.
It is one of those shades that you can see everywhere you turn. To make it shiny, I would suggest gloss treatments after every few weeks, your stylist will be appreciative.
Burgundy Power Bob
This burgundy bob is the best look of winter to women who enjoy depth and drama. The wine-red colour is also vivid in the indoor light, and the blunt bob cut makes it sharp and modern. It is high-tech, bold and cannot be overlooked.
Such rich tones are an excellent match to the darker winter wardrobes, providing the right amount of pop of color. To maintain the depth a color safe conditioner is needed.
Warm Layered Bob with Side Bangs
Lastly, a softer version of shorter hair, this layered bob with side bangs is warm and moving. The auburn-brown foundation and lightening highlights provide depth and the layers provide volume that frames the face in an unobtrusive way.
It is a casual but sophisticated style, ideal to women of all ages who are aged 40 and above and require a cut that can easily change between being casual and elegant. It is bouncy and smooth all day with a little touch of styling cream.
Conclusion
The hair can be the accessory of the winter, whether you are going to get a new cut, a new layer of color, or a new bold style. The age of 40 is the ideal moment to be beautiful in your own way and these fashions demonstrate how inspiring and fashionable the season could be. Anyway, it is not the age that makes great hair, it is the attitude.
