Fine hair has its moments. Mostly the ones where it slips flat before lunchtime.
If you’re over 50 and your hair is starting to feel more “whisper” than “wow,” a short cut can bring serious life back to your look.
Not only are short cuts easier to manage, but they’re also great for giving fine strands some much-needed volume and shape.
The best part? You don’t need to chase dramatic colors or spend hours styling.
The right cut, a little texture, and a flattering natural color are all you need to feel fresh, current, and completely yourself.
