Hair Texture and Glasses

Carver starts off by reminding us that, just like us, our hair ages too. “Many women over 50 experience hair thinning due to aging, stress, hormonal changes, and genetic factors,” she notes. The presence of grey hair is another factor to consider as “Grey hair can be wiry, frizzy and hard to tame!”, she adds.
The right pixie cut can aid in embracing this change gracefully. Coupled with your glasses, it helps you get a personalized look that complements your face shape and hair texture. Glasses too play an important role here. “Pick frames that compliment not just your face size and shape, but your skin tone and hair color as well. Glasses should work as an accessory, adding more confidence and panache to your getup!”
Face Shapes and Pixie Cuts
Moving on to the topic of face shapes, Carver advises on the best pixie for each type:
- Oval Faces: With this flexible shape, experiment with textures and lengths to create your perfect pixie.
- Round Faces: Volume is key for round faces, creating volume at the top helps elongate your face.
- Heart-shaped Faces: Balance is vital, maintain volume at the crown with soft layers.
- Square Faces: Soft layers and a textured pixie top help soften angular faces.
She emphasizes that “When you wear glasses with a pixie cut, it’s crucial to decide the place of the fringe (bangs). Some prefer it above the glasses frame while some tuck it on the side, based on your comfort.”
Styling Tips and Tricks
She offers insightful guidance on styling your pixie. “Hair products are your best friends here,” Carver specifies. “You need a leave-in product, a styler, and a finisher.” She recommends specific products for different hair types – volumizing mousse for thin hair, detangle spray for thick hair and hair care products specifically made for curly hair.
When it comes to maintaining the pixie, Carver suggests “Use a microfiber towel, wide-tooth comb, and ensure to reduce the heat of your heating tools.” She further advises, “Let your hair air dry about 30-50% before applying any product.”
Keeping the scalp health in mind, she recommends using hair care products that are sulfate, paraben, phthalate, formaldehyde, and artificial fragrance free.
So, ladies over 50, your pixie cut journey is a versatile and fun one with countless ways to create your own unique look. Armed with Carver’s expert advice, you’ll be ready to rock your pixie cut and glasses with style and confidence.
