According to Vivienne Mackinder, guest artistic director for Joico, these types of hairstyles for women lifts the cheekbones and jawline, which is great for older women with a shorter or rounder face shape as the style creates length to the face.

“This style opens, lifts, and softens the face, while the volume at the crown slims the face,” says Mackinder of the style that works on most face shapes.

“This style creates soft facial framing and volume with interior layers,” says Mackinder. “This razor cut allows for styling versatility, which is great for day-to-day for the woman on the go, no matter her age.”

“Razor cut with rounded graduation is a great style for those with straight hair and, for older women who don’t like too much upkeep, this is very easy to maintain,” says Mackinder.

To get this specific type of messy bouffant ponytail Mackinder suggests using a curling iron to set and tease hair; then gather it into a messy ponytail. “This style is perfect for the women who love undone hair, but also wants her hair off the neck.”
