It’s true what they say, you know – life really does begin at 40. Just because you are getting a bit older doesn’t mean that you need to play down your hair and makeup… Although it might be time to try a new look! why not take a peek at the 50 best hairstyles for women over 40 and make your mind up over your next haircut choice.

1. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Pamela Anderson Blonde-Bombshell Pixie Cut

We’re used to seeing Pamela Anderson with long, blonde tresses but very recently the 47-year old actress went for the chop well and truly and lopped off most of her hair! She looks so glamorous with the Sharon-Stone replica cut, and you could pull this off too if you have delicate OR large facial features. You shouldn’t opt for a look this short if you have a strong chin or jawline however – it might end up making you appear more masculine.

This look is super easy to take care of band suits almost all hair types – you literally wake up in the morning and throw some gel or wax through it. There’s no need for straightening, curling tongs or anything like that. Plus you can even achieve the tousled look just by messing things up with your fingers.

2. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Debra Messing The Fiery Redhead

Let’s face it, opting for a fiery red look can be somewhat overwhelming when you’re over a certain age, but the fiery red hair showed here by Debra Messing is such a beautiful shade, it would be a shame not to have tried it at least once in your life.

You will need to take into account that red hair does take quite a bit of maintenance and regular re-colouring, but you can achieve a multitude of looks with it, and cover a multitude of sins. You don’t need to worry about those greys when they are a fiery red colour, do you?

This look has been achieved on Debra Messing by plenty of backcombing to the roots, and then the ends of the hair have been pulled in and pinned, with the crown of the head lightly tousled with the fingers to give it some volume!

3. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Gwen Stefani Great Gatsby Inspired Hair

We still can’t believe this woman is over the age of 40 because she looks simply stunning. Her blonde bombshell look has been cut short over the years, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have any options when it comes to styling.

A tight curl is achieved using either small bendy rollers or thin curling tongs, but if you have fine hair, you will need to use plenty of firm hairspray to keep the look in check.

4. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Dannii Minogue Pixie Cut

The ‘other’ Minogue sister is another classic example of a woman that rarely gets her hair wrong and with this adorable pixie cut, you can show off her beautifully chiseled cheekbones, and beautiful big eyes. If you’re a fan of your eyes, side swept bangs such as this is the perfect way to show it off, and the pixie cut with short-back-and-sides tends to work better on heart shaped faces. If you’ve got a particularly long face or a large forehead, you’ll need less volume and fewer products, and if you have a rounder face, something that adds a bit more volume on top is the right look for you.

That’s the thing about short hair – with very few products and tools, you can achieve a multitude of looks. Is it time to go shorter?

5. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Faith Hill Long, Big Bob

This is verging into longer length hair here, but again, is a great way to carry on that growing-out process if you’ve undergone the chop recently. Debra Messing shows the perfect way to wear medium length hair and with a few scattered layers thrown in with the beautiful caramel highlights, it frames her rather square face.

The waves are easily achieved with a large round brush with some hairspray lightly thrown in or good measure, and you can easily use a large barrelled curling iron to get the look too.

6. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Laura Wright Short & Shaggy Bob

If you’re growing your short hair out, this is a great in between style. Set the parting just off the centre and you help to slim a rounder face, but on Laura’s oval face, a bit of volume and some highlights look just fabulous.

The hair has been layered to add thickness to the hair, but this look can be achieved with both thick and fine locks. Just brush it as you dry it, and add some serums to the ends and you are good to go. It’s nice and easy!

7. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Thandie Newton Medium, Straight & Side-Swept

Thandie Newton is new to the 40-club but this 41 year old beauty isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. The heart shaped face really suits the straight, simple style, and the side-swept bangs help to slim down that enlarged forehead.

The look is a very simple one to achieve. You simply give the hair s parting slightly off of centre, sweep the bangs across your forehead, straighten ands finish with a glossy serum. Thandie has slight layers around her face in this picture, but if you have a rounder face shape, leaving these layers out will help to lengthen the face, rather than make it appear rounder.

8. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Shania Twain Super Log & Extra Glam

She might be 48 years old now but Shania Twain is still one hell of a hottie. Just look at her beautiful, long, gleaming mane in this picture. She’s a prime example of how you CAN pull off longer hair over the age of 40 and for that, we salute her!

You can achieve this look with some good quality hair extensions if you don’t already have long hair, but if you have naturally long and wavy hair, this look is perfect for you. Just add a bit of plume with some mousse, and let the hair dry in large, heated rollers and you have about the right look for the length of the hair. The front of the hair can be easily flicked out using a large barrelled curling tong, or even a round drying brush.

9. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Charlize Theron Super Short Cut

This bombshell has undergone quite the transformation recently and just like Pamela Anderson, has decided to go for the chop is a very big way. A side parting gives your short hair just enough volume here, and once again, there’s no need for any special equipment to take care or style the cut. A bit of texturising cream rubbed through the ends will give you the spiky look, or you can comb it down for a more sleek effect.

It’s any-time hair, for any hair type!

10. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Jennifer Connelly Wavy, Side-Swept Medium Hair

We love this look on Jennifer Connelly, 43, almost as much as we love her with glamorous red-carpet hair. It’s rocky, edgy, and just that little bit too cool, isn’t it?

She’s got a layered bob here, falling just above the shoulders. This look has been achieved with rollers and some finishing serum, persuading the hair over to one side before going over it all with a wet-look gel. It’s a rocky look and needs to be paired with quite the woman – are you up for the challenge?

11. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Pamela Anderson Long, Bombshell Bouffant

We know that this is the second time that this blonde bombshell has been not he list but we feel that she deserves a second shot for this amazing hair. To be honest, it’s a bit bigger than what most people would have the courage to wear, but it just goes to show how easy a bit of volume can be achieved.

This is a good look for many different face shapes – you can just change the shape and size of the curl around the face.

The pouf at the top is achieved with a bit of backcombing, some dry shampoo, and some setting spray to hold everything together. Easy, peasy!

12. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Halle Berry Layered Razor Cut

Let’s be honest about this, Halle Berry, 47, never gets her hairstyle wrong, does she? We’ve never seen a style or cut on this woman that we haven’t positively fallen in love with, and the layered razor cut she went for recently really was stunning.

It’s been razor cut in a geometric way, allowed the side-swept bangs to cover just one eye. It’s a great way to show off delicate features, and if you’ve got pretty awesome cheekbones, this is a great cut for you.

Hair straighteners can be used here to give the top of the hair a super sleek look, or use them in a curling motion to give the hair some definition. You could even fake a mohawk style here for a more up to date and edgy look. A bit of wax warmed between the fingers is all it takes to give it a bit of definition.

13. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Nicole Kidman Whimsical Waves

The good thing about the whimsical waves that Nicole Kidman, 47, rocks is that they can be created with any number of hair lengths. If you have longer hair, tie it up and tuck it under, leaving plenty around the sides to soften the face. If you have short hair, just pin the hair back and leave longer sections at the front hanging down.

It doesn’t matter what you do with the back of your hair, whether you choose a French knot, scraggy bun or smooth chignon, but with a bit of backcombing and some volume powder added at the roots, you can achieve thicker hair styles. It’s easy, breezy to look at, and just as simple and fast to recreate. It can also be used to flatter a large number of face shapes!

14. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Amber Valetta ‘Stand-Out’ Bangs

Amber Valetta has only recently joined the 40-club, but she did it with a bang with this very short look. The blonde highlights work great on the bangs that have been started much farther back on the head than most, and it’s a great look for her diamond / triangular shaped face.

Bangs do require some maintenance so you will need to expect regular washing, and also using things like hair straighteners to get a look this sleek. It’s also a look better suited to those with fine hair. Heavy hair might not hang quite so delicately around the face.

15. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Jennifer Lopez Long, Loose & Latino

Would you believe that this Latino lovely is 45 years old? Look at that healthy head of hair… That’s the one thing she’s most desired for, isn’t it? Well, that and her butt, of course!

This look is one that does take a fair bit of maintenance. After all, not many girl can get hair that straight without the help of some hair straighteners. Caramel highlights through a light brown/dark blonde is the look that this lovely has gone for here, and even if you have one-tone hair, don’t ever forget the power of a few lighter coloured extensions thrown in for good measure.

16. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Catherine Zeta-Jones Modern Farah-Fawcett Flicks

She’s such a beauty, isn’t she? Even now at 44 years old, she still rocks it like a professional. Her hair here just screams sophistication and Hollywood glam, and can easily be achieved with a large barrel curler used all over the lower half of the hair. Keep the parting simple and in the centre, and add some additional curls around the face to frame it, and you have the perfect look. Just make sure that you keep it all in check with some heavy-duty hairspray if it’s going to be a good night.

This is a look that can suit many face shapes. Catherine has quite an oval shaped face, but with looser, longer curls, it could even frame a square or round shaped face too.

It’s one of the easiest looks there is for long hair in your 40′s!

17. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Kate Garraway Blunt Bangs

The British TV presenter has had her fair share of hairstyles over the years, but we think this one is a beauty and is perfect for many women over 40. Sticking with the theme of bangs and we think that Kate’s are to die for. Although  not many of us can pull off a look quite this severe, but if you’ve got an oval-shaped face, you can definitely rock it!

It’s going to take some work to keep things sleek, and just like Amber’s ‘stand-out’ bangs, you’ll probably find that hair straighteners will become your best friend, along with the hair dryer and large barrel brush to give it that slight curve that looks so great.

18. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Kylie Minogue Casual, medium rolled hair

Using a large barrel roller, you’ll easy recreate this casual Kylie style, and if you have medium to long length hair, it’ll only take ten minutes or so in the morning if you roll with large sections of hair. You can add a centre parting to help round-out the oval, narrow face that Kylie has, but a side parting could be easily added if you have a rounder or squarer face.

This look is designed to be simple and free, so the fewer hair styling products you use, the better. You might find that some mousse can help the curls to stick in fine hair, but if you have thick hair already, this look will be a breeze.

19. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Kelly Ripa Short & Sweet Hair

Kelly Ripa debuted her short and sweet hair cut on the Live With Kelly and Michael show, and it’s quite different from the blonde waves she wold normally be seen sporting.

Cut just below the chin, this is the perfect haircut for those with square faces, and the curves added with a curling iron help to soften the jawline. With a centre parting, the look is very daytime chic, but with side swept bangs thrown into the mix (very easy to achieve!) you add a dramatic touch to a simple short and sweet haircut.

20. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Heidi Klum Wispy Bangs

Ask your hairdresser for wispy bangs like Heidi Klum, 41, and you’ll never think about having a facelift or Botox to get rid of the wrinkles ever again. The light and wispy bangs are shaped to frame her eyes, and the simple and light hair cut help to tone down that beautiful chiseled jawline.

Anyone with a square face shape can pull of this very simple look. Blonde hair with a few darker blind / light brown high lights, a wisp face-shaping set of bangs, and a very simple, mussed up ponytail. With the right set of earrings like Heidi, the look is instantly glammed up.

21. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Jennifer Aniston Straight, Layered, Long Hair

It’s a good look, isn’t it? Let’s face it, Jennifer Aniston hasn’t put a step wrong in the hair aspect of life ever in her life. She gets it even better now she’s in the Big 40-club, and the even better news is that this is one of the easiest hairstyles to achieve, especially if you have fine and wispy hair.

She’s had a few layers thrown in, and some caramel and blonde highlights to add more depth to thin and fine hair. Her chiseled jawbone works well with the face-framing layers, and with a bit of volume backcombed into the back of the crown, it’s a look that just takes a few minutes to get right. You don’t even need to use your hair straighteners if you dry your hair while brushing it with a paddle brush at the same time!

22. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Naomi Campbell Power-Woman Bob

We already knew that Naomi Campbell, 44,  was a power-woman and if her latest haircut is anything to go by, she knows it too! This looks just screams a woman in control, and the longer bangs really do her heart-shaped face justice.

You’ll need to straighten the hair a lot to get this look so when you add your finishing serum, make sure that it is one that pumps moisture back into the ends of your hair. The bangs will take fairly regular maintenance to stop them being annoying and getting in your eyes when you go for the longer styles, but if you love to play up your eyes, they might just be the perfect thing to work hand in hand.

23. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Rebecca Romijn Short, Sharp (but Softened) Bob

The haircut that Rebecca Romijn rocks is primarily a sharp, short bob, but with a careful flick of a curling iron, you have a look that is both feminine and sophisticated.

The good thing about this look is that it takes barely anything to achieve. Simply grab a few of the outer tendrils of hair and wrap it around tongs or a curling iron for a few moments before setting with strong hairspray, and you’re pretty much on your way. If you blow your hair upside down too, you’ll also add more volume to thinner hair types.

24. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Brooke Shields Long Straight & Wavy

This look is better suited to those with long, thicker hair but if your hair is quite fine, a few well-placed layers will help to thicken things up.

Brooke Shields, 49, has quite a square face shape just like Minnie Driver and Demi Moore, which means the long layers really helps to soften the face somewhat. A big round brush will help to cause the massive waves at the bottom of the hair, and you should blow-dry your hair upside down to give it a much-needs boost of volume. The side-swept bangs also helps to keep the look romantic.

25. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Lena Headey Grown-Out Pixie

The pixie cut was all the rage recently, and a lot of women over 40 are looking for a way to grow the look out, without it looking to shabby.

Lena Headey, 40, gives you the perfect example of how a pixie cut should be grown out, with longer bangs pushed over to one side, and tousled waves throughout the bottom of the layered ends. With a bit of styling wax and a round brush to help the shape when drying, this look is easily suited for both daytime and nighttime events, and the right amount of make up will make the difference between the two. Tone down the eyes during the day and, just as Lena Headey has here, play up the eyes for a great dramatic look!

26. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Minnie Driver Long, Tight Curls

When you have such a square face shape and rugged jawline as Minnie Driver has, getting a feminine and romantic style can be hard work, especially when you get above a certain age. This 44 year old sure shows you how to do things in style however, and she shows you how to do natural glam with these tight, long curls.

Her hair has been scrunched with a curling activator spray or gel and left to dry natural. a wide-tooth comb will help you to get rid of any knots, and some wet look gel will then help to keep things in check throughout the day. It’s natural and simple – the perfect thing for a such as strong face shape!

27. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Jenny McCarthy Graduated Sharp Bob

We simply adore Jenny McCarthy’s, 41, new bobbed look, and it’s a real edgy look for a woman with personality! You could try this look with many colours too – Jenny rocks the bombshell blonde, but this would look great in brunette and red tones with the right complexion.

Jenny has a strong jawline with a long face, and the chin-length cut really helps to break things down. The side parting helps to soften the look, and there are slight layers added to the ends to give it a bit of volume. Throw in some volume powder and give it a good rub through the hair when styling and you’ll get the oomph in the roots like you see in the picture here.

28. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Christina Hendricks Little Red Bob

Red is a colour that suits ladies of a certain age and just like Christina Hendricks has here, the little red bob might just be the perfect look for you.

Everything is very soft and floaty with a softly cut bob with razored layers at the end, and the bangs have been left a tad longer and directed to one side to romanticise the look.

The ‘Lob’ or long-bob as people better know it as, is a really easy to maintain hairstyle thats both super fun and effortless to play up or down. You still have enough length to chuck it back in a cute little ponytail, yet you can curl it with the help of barrel curlers and a bit of hairspray, pin it up with bobby pins, leave it straight and sleek with a finishing spray, and more.

29. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Sandra Bullock Sweeping, Polished Hollywood Curls

This look just screams with Hollywood – it would appear that Sandra Bullock always gets it right.

If you have long and medium to thick hair, this is a look that will work perfectly for you. The preparation work is the most important part of getting this look right. When the hair is still wet, you will need to add plenty of volume-boosting products, and you’ll need some sort of gloss-based product in order to keep it in place. With either medium or large curling tongs, simply curl it to the side, making sure the back of the hair is sleekly slicked in the one direction, and set everything with hair spray. If you can hide a couple of grips in the back of your hair before the curls start, you’ll thank yourself for it later!

30. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Cate Blanchett Deep Parting, Brushed-Out Vintage Curls

Thin hair will make this look a breeze so if you’re one of those woman that can’t seem to find volume, this is the perfect look. For medium to longer length hair, large-barrelled curling tongs or large heated rollers will help you to achieve the large waves in this look – you simply pull them into a side parting, sleek down the top with some finishing product, and brush the curls out to give you this vintage-curl look that is so hot in Hollywood right now.

Cate has quite the pronounced forehead and an oval face shape so if you have a rounder to long face, this is a great look for you. It does have a tendency to make round faces look rounder so if this is you, make sure you keep the look a bit longer.

31. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Cameron Diaz Short Bob with Side Swept Bangs

Cameron Diaz has been rocking perfect short hair for so long, we’ve almost forgotten about that hair faux-pas in There’s Something About Mary. Rocking a similar layered chin-length bob around her square face, the tousled bangs pushed to one side help to even up that bigger forehead, and the laters surrounding her face (easily achieve with a hair dryer and a round brush) really add a little something extra to the already beautiful actress. She has also managed to pull off a similar dark in a much darker colour too, showing that some cuts really can work in various hair shades.

32. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Jenna Elfman – Flipped Out Bob

Jenna Elfman’s flicked-out bob looks really simple to create, doesn’t it? That’s because it actually is! That’s one of the best things about short hair – everything is so much easier to maintain.

This cute bob doesn’t need to be curled but it sure adds a little special something to the look. A good curling tong will help you out here, and it’s well worth adding some hairspray to set things nicely. It’s a hairstyle that will suit a multitude of face shapes but if you have a rounder face, take things a little longer than chin length to stop rounding off the face even more.

33. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Selma Blair Dark, Long Hair With Full Bangs

This is a look that not many people can pull off but as Selma Blair, 42, shows, if you do it right, you can still rock the look!

The hair has been dried and given a once-over with some glossy spray but aside from that, the look is relatively natural. It’s meant to mimic that early 70’s rockstar-groupie look, and with the heavy bangs, she does the look a lot of justice.

The hairstyle itself is rather overpowering but if you have a diamond face shape just like Selma and other fellow actress Liz Hurley, you can pull it off because the defined cheekbones help to give it some stability.

34. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Emilia Fox Windswept & Wavy

The reason we loved this Emilia Fox hairstyle was because of how versatile it is. You can achieve this look with any length of hair too. If it’s short, you simply pin it back. If it’s long, you circle it round into a small chignon, and then pull out sections of the front to muss things up a bit.

If you have longer hair, you will find that this look is easily achieved by curling the top layer of hair first. Shorter hair can easily be tousled with fingers and finishing wax.

Better suited to oval face shapes, this windswept and wavy look is easy to achieve, and easy to maintain, in all number of shades of colour too.

35. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Teri Hatcher Flicked-Fringe Bouffant Bob

It’s been given the names by professionals and when you see it, you can understand why! It’s grown up and mature, but the chin length bob sure does work better on the pretty oval face of Teri Hatcher, 49.

The bouffant, blow out style is achieved by blowdrying your hair upside down, and adding plenty of volume-boosting products. You could also wear it sleeker by straightening it, although the bigger style adds something extra to a long face.

36. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Alanis Morisette Long & Left Alone

Another starlet that we couldn’t believe was in the 40-club but Alanis Morisette shows you how to do things the hippy, grungy kinda way.

Her hair is relatively thin, and her face long and oval shaped. Left alone with just regular trims, your hair could look just as good, and with this amount of length, there are plenty of ways to dress it up should you need to. Even on lazy days you can throw it back in a high ponytail with some bronzer to accentuate your great cheekbones!

37. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Robin Wright “The Sharon Stone”

The first thing we thought when we saw this Robin Wright short, sleek style is that it reminded us so much of Sharon Stone! It’s a look that many, many women over the age of 40 can rock, and with the lack of maintenance, it’s suitable for any type of woman.

The look can be tousled up or sleeked down, and with the right amount of finishing serum can look instantly glam like it does right here.

One of the best things about short hair like this is that you can often skip washing it for a day or so with a quick spray of dry shampoo! It just makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?

38. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Marisa Tomei Laid-Back, Pull-Back

This is one of the best looks for women over the age of 40 because of how simple it is. It’s a look that can be adapted to suit many different face shapes and various hair types. Here it appears that Marisa has thin hair so with the help of a bit of backcombing volume has been added to the crown.

The rest of the hair has been pulled back to allow for beautiful eye makeup and some pretty impressive earrings. It’s a great hairstyle to put together with an outfit with a flashy neck or top design too.

39. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Sarah Jessica Parker Wavy, Ombre Long Hair

She’s the Queen of style… Haven’t you seen Sex in the City? She’s the girl that always gets it right and with every single one of the hairstyle she’s rocked over the years, we’ve fallen that little bit more in love.

This look is our favourite Sarah Jessica Parker look so far. The 49 years old actress and fashionista has gone for one of the most in style looks the year, and given it that little bit of a mature spin to make it more acceptable.

The darker roots look natural and clean, and the grown-out bleached blonde looks effortless. With the help of a braid overnight, your damp hair could easily drive into these large-curled waves, and if you’ve got thick hair, you’ll probably find that a tiny bit of hairspray is all you need to finish it off.

40. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Kristen Wiig ‘Big Transformation’ Bob

What is it with celebrities cutting all their hair recently? It seems like everyone is having a go at the bob again. Kristen Wiig is just one in a long line cutting off their tresses, and just like you could, she’s nailed the look completely.

She has completely transformed herself from the girl with the wavy-blonde locks in Bridesmaids, to the short browny-red flicked out bob you see today. We’ve found the easiest way to achieve that little flick is with your hair straighteners and some hairspray, and the rest of the hair is kept relatively natural, making it a breeze to maintain.

Just ask for a choppy chin length bob when you go to the hairdressers, and get them to throw in razored layers on one side of your bangs too. You’ll need a good dry-end serum to keep things looking this sleek.

41. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Monica Bellucci Medium Bangs

This sex symbol is 49 years old but that still doesn’t mean that she’s passed it, which she very much shows in this amazing hairstyle.

The look is very simple – a one length cut either medium or long, with eye-brow skimming bangs that have been cut into to thin them down ever so slightly.

She has a long but rounded face which means that the bangs are just soft enough to help frame her face perfectly, while the long length around the fact helps to think any chubby cheeks. This look is super easy too but does need regular washing – greasy bangs are not a good look.

42. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Gwyneth Paltrow Loose, Low Bun

Gwyneth Paltrow has a classically sure shaped face which means longer lengths framing the face really help to soften off those square edges. She tends to suit long, sleek and straight hair better because once again, it helps to thin down the face, and this is exactly the look she has achieved here.

Straightening irons would have been used to flatten the hair, and the majority of it has been pulled back into a lazy, loose bun at the nape of the neck. Longer tendrils have been pulled forward at the front, and with the right amount of sheer makeup, this has the potential to be either very casual or very smart, deepening on what occasion you need it for!

43. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Salma Hayek Ombre Highlights

We can hardly believe this stunning Mexican beauty is 47 years old but she sure shows you how to rock a hairstyle like this with style.

Her thick, long hair has been curled using a large barrel tong, and the whole thing has been set with a very natural hairspray. To get the free-flowing locks here, you need as little in the finish and hold product department as possible.

She’s had caramel and dark brow ombre highlights added in here which is quite unusual – most people would have gone for a lighter blonde!

44. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Julia Roberts Mid-Length, Wearable Updo

This is something that many women over the age of 40 could do with knowing how to of – the wearable undo. Julia Roberts, 46, rocks it very well and teams it with a long pair of earrings to really perfect the look.

This a look that works well with oval faces such as Julia Roberts’, and isn’t far form the Gwyneth Paltrow loose and low bun we talked about earlier. The hair is backcombed a tad to give it more volume than the Gwyneth look, and there have been some curls added to the tendrils to once again, frame the face and make it appear softer.

45. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Elizabeth Hurley The “Kate Middleton”

When we first looked at this photo, we actually thought it was Kate Middleton, hence the nickname we have given it. It’s a really look to achieve if you have longer length, thick brown hair. It’s not too difficult to fake if you have think to medium hair. If you have really thin hair however, you might find that you struggle to get this much volume and bounce without the help of hair extensions.

A large brush and some good upside-down blow drying will help you to achieve this look, and is a great one for most face shapes.

46. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Naomi Watts Simple Straight Hair

If you’ve got medium length hair that you are trying to grow out, this is a great hairstyle to try your hand at. It’s not really a casual, every day kind of style but for special occasions, this one screams sophistication and power.

You’ll need to straighten the hell out of your hair if you want to achieve this look, and if you’ve got a long and/or narrow face, you’re probably going to want to avoid anything too sharp around your face. A good smoothing cream will set everything in place.

47. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Tina Fey Long, Glamorous Waves

Again, another look better suited for thicker hair and a round or square face, Tina Fey, 44, rocks these glamorous, Hollywood waves. You won’t even need a curling iron to get this look – large rollers or a barrel brush when blowdrying will give you the wave you want, and a side parting will help the sweeping look. The other side of the hair should be pushed back behind the ears. Once you’ve done this look once, it’ll only take you about ten minutes to perfect!

48. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Jennifer Aniston Medium Straight Cut

We know this is the second time that Jennifer Aniston, 45, has been on this list but man does she deserve it. We’ve been in love with most of her hairstyles and this look is no different.

It’s a very simple cut – medium and straight. There are lighter colures highlights to give her thin hair some body and volume, and a few choppy layers have been added towards the end for good measure. With a bit of blowdrying and some tousling with your fingers, this look takes about five minutes and is perfect for daytime to nighttime transformations!

49. Hairstyles for Women Over 40: Alyson Hannigan Geometric Curly Bob

Wow! Alyson Hannigan has really gone for something different these days, hasn’t she? We told you that short hair was back in!

47. Sarah Hyland Short Curly Hairstyle: Voluminous Updo

Some of us are blessed with luscious thick locks while others have fine, sleek hair. There are good and bad points to both eventualities so don’t fret if you’re one or the other. A lot of people hate having thin hair, they say it’s unruly, un-stylable, and too difficult to work with but just remember that the same can be said of thick hair too.

Take a scroll through this list to see some of the best styles for fine hair, each of them modelled by some of your favourite celebrities. Here goes!

1. Emma Roberts Hairstyle For Thin Hair: A Line Bob

This is a great hairstyle for thin hair because it can be worn naturally (i.e. without being straightened or curled) and still look fabulous. The great thing about a-line styles is that they suit any face shape and you can have your bangs tapered to look even better. Ask your stylist what length is good for you and how they recommend you wear you bangs – my personal advice is that if you have a round face go with long bangs and the slimmer the face the shorter they can be.

2. Drew Barrymore Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Curled and Wild

Thin hair is renowned for looking limp but with all the styling options these days that need no longer be the case. Look at Drew for instance – she has very fine hair but you wouldn’t know it looking at this picture. She’s used a mix of curlers and styling gels to make her hair look big and beautiful. This is a great tip for anyone with thin hair, no matter your hair length or face shape.

3. Dianna Agron Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Choppy Bob

This is a similar idea to what we say in number two. Dianna has taken a simple bob and used layers to make it look choppy, thus helping her to achieve more volume and combatting the sleek look of her thin hair. Like I said, you can do this at any length but I think there’s a timeless charm to bobs.

4. Valorie Curry Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Pixie Cut

I love pixie cuts full stop but they definitely work better for girls with with fine hair over thick hair. This is a great option because it’s incredibly stylish and once your hair has been trimmed short no one will ever be able to tell if it’s thick or not. The only face shape which this may not suit is round faces, though there are a few variations you could consider if you’re determined to go pixie.

5. Carey Mulligan Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Acessorise

Carey Mulligan always looks fabulous and I bet you never even noticed how fine her hair is. That’s probably because she always styles it beautifully so how fine it is no longer matters. Take her look in the Great Gatsby for example – she wears a lot of fabulous hair pieces which draw attention away form her hair while still completing her look. This is a great tip anyone can try.

6. Kristen Bell Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Rough Ponytail

When your hair is tied up it’s incredibly hard to tell if it’s thin or not so this is a great option for anyone with fine hair. Why not leave your bangs down or rough your ponytail up a bit to give it a bit more texture and life too? Ponytails have a lot of variations depending on what your bangs are like so I advise you experiment to find out what look suits you best.

7. Gwyneth Paltrow Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Flaunt It

Of course, you could always make like the fabulous Gwyneth Paltrow and make the most of your thin hair flaunting it for all the world to see. Straight hair is all the rage these days so why would you hide your naturally straight, fine hair? Simply grab a brush and head outside. No need to spend hours in front of the mirror!

8. Cameron Diaz Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Layered Bob

By adding layers to your thin hair bob it creates the illusion of volume without making your hair too big (like thick hair would). This means it’s a great style for those of you with thin hair – and Cameron Diaz! This style looks lovely on a heart shaped face but oval and square faces look great too.

9. Kristen Stewart Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Windswept and Long

By styling your hair so it looks windswept like Kristen you’ll look chic, edgy, and fab all at once. Don’t worry about your face shape – this look works for everyone!

10. Emma Stone Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Sleek Ponytail 

Ponytails are great as they’re professional, easy, and get all your hair out of your way. That said, if you have thick hair they can often become a bit unruly but if you’ve got think hair you need not face this problem. Pulling your hair into a sleek ponytail is quick, easy, and will instantly transform you into a smart, professional looking woman.

11. Dianna Agron Hairstyle For Think Hair: Flicked Out Bob

One of the main complaints I hear when it comes to thin hair is the lack of texture it has, something which this style definitely combats. This style is sleek all apart from the ends of the hair which have been neatly flicked out to create texture, volume and style. This look works best for shoulder length hair but I’ve also seen it done well on long hair so don’t be afraid to experiment.

12. Sophie Turner Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Wear It Long

If you’ve got thin hair then it’s hard to tell when it’s short and, believe it or not, really long. It’s when you hair is medium length that it looks it’s thinnest. Simply letting your hair grow out long like Sophie turner will transform your fine hair into goddess like locks. Admittedly you can’t achieve this style overnight but a little patience will go a long way.

13. Anne Hathaway Hairstyle For Fine Hair: Sleek

I love the fact that Anne Hathaway isn’t afraid of flaunting her fine hair. She simple lets it show, not trying to hide it away by styling it. If you’re born with fine hair, chances are that’s because that’s what suits you best. Don’t hide behind a style, use what you were born with and wear it proudly like Anne. A sleek style with straight bangs like this will look great on you and will really make the most of your fine hair.

14. Emma Roberts Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Up Do

Like I said before, when your hair is tied up no one can tell whether it’s thin or not. One of my favourite things about thin hair is that it’s so easy to make a bun with so you might as well make the most of this. Taking all your hair off your face works for any face shape however you’ll only be able to pull of a complete up do like this if you have medium to long hair.

15. Emma Stone Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Thick Braid

Emma Stone’s hair is naturally very thin yet here her braid looks thick and full. That’s because she’s teased it apart and styled her hair so that it’s anything but sleek, giving it texture and volume. This style works best on slim faces however the longer your hair the round your face cane before the style looks odd.

16.Kate Winslet Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Centre Parting Up Do

If you’ve got thin hair then a centre parting may be exactly what you need to make your hair look lovely. Side partings are great but often they leave one side of your hair looking limp which isn’t what we want. A centre parting works for any face shape, as does a centre parting up do, so don’t be afraid to give it a try.

17. Drew Barrymore Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Dip Dyed BoHo Style

Sometimes hiding your thin hair can be as easy as giving people something better to notice. This is a great style however you’ll need medium to long hair to try it. By adding a boho theme to your hair you’ll gain a lot of volume and texture. A few braids and random curls will go along way to making you look festival ready and oh so stylish.

18. Sophie Turner Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Slicked Back

This is one of my all time favourite styles because with a few styling products and a simple sweep of the brush you can near instantly transform yourself into a stylish, red carpet ready woman. Sophie Turner looks stunning here as she shows off her slicked back hair and you can too. You’ll be pleased to know that you can pull this off no matter you face shape or hair length too. This style actually works better on thin hair as it’s much more pliable than thick hair when it comes to this style.

19. Cameron Diaz Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Sleek and Sweeping

Cameron Diaz’s sweeping bangs really add a lot to her look. Instead of her hair falling plainly around her face it sweeps across it, redefining her look. Sadly this isn’t a style I recommend for those of you with round faces as it can make them look even rounder but if you’ve got any other face shape this is a great look. This is a style you can try out even if your hair is as short as a pixie cut too so get styling!

20. Hilary Duff Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Choppy Bangs

By adding choppy bangs to your look you instantly bring volume and texture into otherwise lifeless and thin hair. Luckily there’s a bang to suit everyone too so you can get this style no matter your face shape. Hillary’s look is great as it suits most face shapes. Note how her bangs aren’t too heavy and therefore don’t overpower her face – you want you bangs to make you stand out, not to hide you.

21. Carey Mulligan Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Choppy Pixie Cut

Carey Mulligan totally rocks the pixie look, doesn’t she? Over the years she’s really made it her own. This is one of my favourite looks of hers as it suddenly gives her thin hair texture while not taking away from her pretty face. Simply roughing your pixie cut up a bit can completely transform your look. I also love her untidy braid too. It draws the eye and once again takes away fro the fact she has fine hair.

22. Emma Stone Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Thin and Proud

Here Emma shows off her thin hair, showing that she’s proud of it and not hiding it away. If you’re planning on wearing your hair straight then you couldn’t wish for anything more than thin hair as it works best for this style. You can try this look no matter your face shape but my one tip is that the longer you hair the better this style will look. If your hair is shorter than your shoulders sometimes it can cling to your face shape too much, hiding your pretty face away.

23.Carey Mulligan Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Slick Back

Earlier we saw Sophie Turner rocking this look with her long hair but here I wanted to show you how it can work for short, thin hair too. In fact it probably even looks better again – if that’s even possible! Tip – note how Carey’s hair isn’t slicked too tight to her head however. If you have a pixie cut and want to slick it back then I advise you puff it up a bit of the top so it doesn’t look too fine. This is also a great tip for helping to elongate the look of your face if you have a round face.

24. Dianna Agron Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Side Twist

Once again we see another celebrity disguising her thin hair with an eye-catching style, in this case the side twist. This look is laughably easy to create and you’ll be able to do it in seconds. Plus, you can create this style on any hair length or face shape. It’s worth experimenting to see how much hair you should twist back as this varies depending on your face shape but that’s half the fun of styling your hair I suppose.

25. Reese Witherspoon Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Buoyant Curls

By adding curls to her thin hair Reese has instantly transformed her look. She’s suddenly given it texture, volume, and a whole new lease of life. The thinner your face the larger the curls you can pull off so remember that when you’re styling. By pulling her bangs back atop her head Reese has also fund a great way to make her face look slimmer, a great tip for those of you with round or square faces.

26. Hilary Duff Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Choppy Layers

As I mentioned earlier, a great way to add texture to your thin hair is by adding layers. Her Hilary has used that advice and gone one step further by roughing her hair up, giving it extra volume. All you need to do to create this look is to rub your fingers through your hair with a bit of product on them after styling and your look will instantly come to life. Add a bit of hairspray and this look will stay in all day too so you don’t need to worry about it suddenly going limp and restyling every few hours.

27. Gwyneth Paltrow Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Half Up Do

It’s a little known fact that I love half up dos. They’s just so sleek, stylish, and crazily easy to do. The style works even better if you have thin hair too as it’s much easier to create too. You can try this style whether you have medium or long hair and can experiment by pulling different amounts of hair back. Also, there’s no rule that says you have to stick to a ponytail either. I love wearing this style in a bun or pinning it in place with various hair accessories too. This is a great style for showing off your personality as it can be worn so many ways.

28. Nicole Ritchie Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Sleek Bob 

A sleek bob like this works great for thin hair as it’s so easy to create and it will sit in place much better than if you have thick hair. My big tip however is not to straighten your hair too much if you have thin hair and this style as you may end up with your hair looking thinner and more limp than ever. Adding a bit of product will protect your hair but still I say let your hair go natural. If it’s thin it will sit beautifully anyway.

29. Soarise Ronan Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Rough Bob

Perhaps a better bob style for those of you with thin hair is a rough bob like this. It still has the same smart yet causal effect but by roughing it up you add a bit of texture and volume to your hair. You could have your stylist add a few layers but in this instance you ought to make the most of your fine hair and let it speak for itself.  Having an uneven parting will help to take attention away from how fine your hair is too.

30. Scarlett Johansson Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Messy Bun

Buns are definitely easier to create if you have fine hair so if you like this stele don’t go cursing your thin hair just yet. Buns are incredibly classy, professional looking, and stylish too. I love seeing a perfect bun but if you have fine hair you should consider trying out a messy bun like Scarlett (mostly because you can!). It adds an edge to your professional look, making you look smart and casual all at once. This is a great look for most any face shape, the only downside is you have to have hair long enough to tie up in the first place.

31. Natalie Dormer Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Side Waves

Side partings don’t always work well for thin hair however sweeping all your hair to one side is another matter entirely. This is a great way to suddenly compact all your hair together, making it look thick and full of volume. By adding lots of waves and curls like Natalie has you also enhance this look, making your hair look thicker than ever. You may well need a lot of hair clips and a lot of hairspray to keep this look in place but trust me it’s worth it. If you’re heading to the office or a night on the town this is a great look. Plus it’s another look that works for all face shapes so don’t be afraid to try it out!

32. Kate Hudson Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Delicate Curls

Getting a great look for thin hair need not be hard. In fact it can be as simple as slipping your rollers in or curling your hair. By adding a few simple curls your hair will instantly be given a new lease of life and will suddenly look full of volume and texture. As a general rule, the slimmer your face the thicker your curls can be so remember this when you’re styling. Oh, and don’t forget your hairspray or your curls will fall out before you even leave the house and you’ll be back to having fine hair!

33. Dakota Fanning Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Colour Change

Dakota Fanning shocked fans and photographers alike when she stepped out onto the red carpet which her brunette hair opposed to her natural white blonde. While she’s not had a major style change I’m sure you’ll agree that she looks fabulous with her new colour and suddenly her thin hair is forgotten. If you want an easy way to change your look then why not consider a stark change in colour? Even a subtle change will go a long way to altering your look and you might find you and others no longer notice your thin hair.

34. Dianna Agron Hairstyle For Thin Hair: High Bun

This is perhaps one of the prettiest pictures of Dianna Agron, not least of all because of her fabulous hair. Her high, messy bun really sets off her look and hides away her thin hair. Her thin hair really helps to create this style too as it’s a difficult one to pull off with thick hair. Her bangs look beautiful too, not too heavy thanks to her fine hair but beautifully shaped. Sadly however I don’t advise you go for this bang style if you have a round gave as your face will end up looking much rounder. Instead go for side or sweeping bangs.

35. Emma Stone Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Curls, Curls, Curls

Every inch of Emma Stone’s fine hair has been styled here, transforming her thin hair into a look of volume. Her layers really add to thins style as this give her look more texture too. Note how ever her bangs have a slight wave in them, leaving no trace of her once fine hair behind. Again, the thinner the face you have the thicker your curls can be. Also, even though Emma’s hair is quite long don’t be afraid to try this trick with short hair too – you’ll likely be pleasantly surprised by the results.

36. Natalie Portman Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Unruly and Slight Waves

I love this style as it’s so unique yet so simple. Natalie’s hair has been given a windswept look and an ever so slight wave so that her thin hair becomes unnoticeable. This style looks so natural and makes her look like she has naturally quite thick hair. Also, take note of how her highlights take away from her thin hair too. This is a simple trick you can try that will have a massive effect on your look.

37. Kate Hudson Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Large Bun

Thick hair is a nightmare to get into a large bun so you should feel blessed if you have thin hair and can pull this style off. Some people are pretty darn talented and can create this look with just their hands but personally I suggest investing in a doughnut hair accessory to make this look simpler to create. Or you can go very DIY and use a sock with the toes cut out. Either way this is a fantastic look that will instantly make you look chic. If you’ve got no bangs like Kate Hudson then it doesn’t matter what your face shape is either as you’re sure to look stylish with this look.

38. Gwyneth Paltrow Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Sleek Bob

Once again Gwen isn’t hiding the fact she has thin hair, she’s flaunting it as I think more people should. Sleek bobs like this look great if you have thin hair, just be sure no to over straighten it or else it will end up looking limp and lifeless. There’s a fine balance but if you can find it you’ll look fab.

39. Kiera Knightley Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Delicate Waves

While usually I think Kiera suits short hair better, I think that her thin hair really helps her to pull off this style. By adding some delicate waves to her hair she’s made it go from thin to full and suddenly it’s got loads of volume. I also love what her highlights do to it as they appear to add a layer of texture. Getting highlights or lowlights like this is a great way to spice up your thin hair and truly make it stand out.

40. Emma Roberts Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Sleek Ponytail

Ponytails looks great on any women and on any face shape but if you’ve got thick hair they can be quite unruly. If you have thin hair on the other hand you’ll be able to effortlessly pull of this sleek style and look fabulous. Emma’s thin hair contributes to how neat her ponytail to as it will with you. Plus, notice her highlights and how it changes the flow of her hair.

41. Kiera Knightley Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Sleek, Long Pixie Haircut

Kiera’s long pixie haircut really works with her thin hair. It’s sleek and stylish and makes her look casual and professional all at once. She has a very slim face but don’t be put off if you have a round face – chances are you’ll actually be able to wear this style better. Her zig zag parting really livens up the style as it adds some texture to her hair and even a touch of volume. Plus, note how the ends of her hair flick out rather than in – this is a great trick for adding extra volume in seconds.

42. Cameron Diaz Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Natural Medium Cut

This medium length cut looks great if you have a heart shaped face and really makes the most of your sleek hair. This is a great style as it’s really easy to maintain and you have the option of tying your hair up if you want to as well. I mentioned highlights and how her can add texture to your hair earlier however here Cameron is going au natural and she looks fabulous for it. It just goes to show that you don’t always have to style your hair using fancy methods to stand out.

43. Gwyneth Paltrow Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Windswept Long Hair

Windswept is always a great look but it works even better if you have thin hair as your hair will still look rough and stylish but it’s thin enough to still look neat. To create this style you’re best adding a bit of product to your hands and running it through your hair. You can rough it up any way you like and make it as wild or as tame as you please. This is definitely a style to experiment with. You can try this at any hair length but personally I think this long length looks great! Also, don’t be afraid to try this look with bangs either.

44. Kate Hudson Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Untamed Waves

All too often we see waves which are neat and uniform but here Kate Hudson has stepped away from that and is wearing her unruly waves beautifully. The waves add loads of texture to her hair and plenty of volume so it doesn’t matter that her hair is thin and the fact that her waves are so untamed only enhances the appearance. This style works best for people with medium to long hair and you’ll be pleased to hear it works on any face shape too.

45. Scarlett Johnasson Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Cute Bangs

Bangs work for most people but personally I’ve always thought they work better on thin hair as they’re more tameable. Here Scarlett shows us her cute, rounded bangs. Note that they look thick yet they don’t look heavy – this is because of her thin hair. Of course this style doesn’t work for everyone and it’s best steered clear of if you have too thin a face but if you have a heart shaped face you’re golden.

46. Jennifer Lawrence Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Untamed Pixie Cut

I’ll be the first to admit that I was devastated when J. Law cut off all her beautiful long hair and replaced it with her pixie cut. That said, it didn’t take me long to get over it after seeing how fabulous she now looks. While her hair isn’t incredibly thin, it’s not what you’d call thick either. This is perhaps why her pixie cut works so well when it’s all roughed up like this. This style works best if you have a slim face but different variations of it do work on round faces too so don’t be scared to experiment. This is also a great look is you have highlights as they add an extra look of depth to your style.

47. Gwyneth Paltrow Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Sleek Ponytail

Styles like this is why you should love your thin hair. Sure, everyone can wear a ponytail but it doesn’t work quite this well on thick hair. Gwen’s ponytail is smooth, sleek, professional, an completely natural. If you’ve got thin hair they you don’t need to fuss with straighteners, just grab your hairband and your brush and you’re near good to go. You can pull this hair off if you have bangs like we saw Emma Stone do earlier too but by pulling all your hair back you make this is a style any face shape can wear. This is perfect for wearing to the office, at a party, or even when you’re just lounging in the house.

48. Kate Hudson Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Long, Sleek, With A Center Parting

Kate Hudson’s thin hair looks fabulous here. She’s simply letting it flow and making it look like it’s been styled for hours, even though her thin hair is naturally straight. Her centre parting really helps her look  as it creates a balance so no one side of her hair looks to heave and no one side looks overly thin. This style is so easy to create, works for any hair length and face shape, and incredibly natural. You can always add a few layers to this style to make it look more interesting but personally I love it sleek and straight like Kate’s.

49. Hayden Panettiere Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Cute, A Line Bob

Hayden has quite a round face yet she pulls off this A line bob perfectly. The reason? Her thin hair of course! It means her hair doesn’t look too thick therefore doesn’t make her face look wider. Instead she winds up looking elegant, chic, sassy, and oh so stylish. This is perhaps her best look! Plus, this style works really well as she’s so short. It means her hair isn’t cutting her body in half and makes her look taller than she is – a great tip for those of you who are short like me!

50.Vanessa Anne Hudgens Hairstyle For Thin Hair: Short and Curled

   And finally we come to our last picture where Vanessa Anne Hudgens shows off her sleek, short curls. The reason this style works so well for thin hair is because it adds an awful lot of volume in just a small space, transforming her look instantly. If you’ve got a round face you may want to stay away from this look but for those of you with a heart or an oval shaped face this look is bound to suit you. Experiment with curl tightness to see what different looks you can create too.

So there you have it, fifty fantastic hairstyles for those of you with thin hair. Don’t repair over your fine hair any longer, choose one of these fifty styles and your hair will suddenly look luscious like it was meant to. I bet you were surprised by how many celebs have thin hair just like you too – I certainly was – but it’s proof as to how a grew style can transform your look.

Are you looking for inspiration on how to wear your bangs? Ideas for a new haircut? If so then you’ve come to the right place! Here are fifteen different styles of bangs to get you thinking, each of them worn by a beautiful celebrity to give you an idea of how they’ll look. Enjoy!

1. Side Swept Bangs: Emma Stone

Side swept bangs are by far the most popular type of bangs, most likely because they’re so versatile and suit most any page shape. Plus, if you wear them long enough they can often be swept up into your ponytail which is an added bonus. Emma Stone looks fantastic with her side swept bangs. I love the way they sweep across her eyes and frame her face. This look is perfect for those of you with an oval face.

2. Short Blunt Bangs: Katy Perry

If you fancy being a bit more daring then why not try wearing short, blunt bangs. This look sin’t for everyone but if you can rock it then you’re sure to make a statement. This look can be pulled off whether you’ve got long or short hair, though personally I prefer it with long hair as the contrast makes a real statement. Still, I love Katy Perry’s short blunt bangs with her bob. This is one of her best looks if you ask me.

3. Blunt Bangs: Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has tried her bangs most every way but few types of bangs suit her long, slender face as much as blunt bangs. The bold, straight cut which sits just above her eyes draws attention to her beautiful face and sits well with her long hair. I also love the fact that she’s added a side parting opposed to a middle one which is more traditional. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

4.Fringe Bangs: Dianna Agron

Dianna Agron is one of my all time favourite celebrities. I just can’t get over how beautiful she is. And her hair is to die for! I simply love her with a fringe (though maybe I’m bias because it’s the style of hair I’ve got!). Her fine fringe really suits her round face and brings out the best of all her features. Her fringe is long however not too long and doesn’t risk hiding her gorgeous eyes.

5.Long Fringe Bangs: Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten Dunst has worn her bangs in countless ways but this is probably her best look. Not everyone can pull off a long fringe but Kirsten looks great. This look is great for adding a bit of mystery to your style. Personally, I think long bangs like these are best work with long hair however I’ve seen people wear them with a pixie cut and still look awesome so be as creative as you dare.

6.Choppy Bangs: Reese Witherspoon

This is by far Reese Witherspoon’s best look. I love her choppy bangs and layered hair, it truly does look fantastic yet it seems to me that not enough people are brave enough to try this look out on themselves. This style is great for adding a bit of an edge to your look and saves you from becoming a plain Jane. This look is great if you have highlights or lowlights too as they help to bring out the ruggedness in your look. Admittedly this look isn’t for everyone but if you can pull it off then I say don’t hold back.

7.U-Shaped Bangs: Lea Michelle

U-shaped bangs look great and really bring an elegance to your look. It’s a style Lea Michelle wears quite often and as you can see she looks stunning with it. The great think about this style is that it’s not permanent and you can simply have a fringe and then curl it into a U shape, making this a truly versatile style of bangs. It’s definitely worth trying at least once.

8.Asymmetrical Bangs: Anne Hathaway

I love asymmetrical bangs! It’s such a great look. When Anne Hathaway chopped off her gorgeous locks for her role in Les Miserables I was worried however it all trend out okay as it opened her up to countless new looks, asymmetrical bangs included. Personally, I think this is a style everyone should try once as most everyone suits this look in one variation or another. This is a great look no matter your face shape or hair length so why not give it a try?

9.Pixie Cut Bangs: Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan looks incredible with a pixie cut and it’s fast becoming her statement look. Don’t panic that having a pixie cut means you can’t have bangs too however. Here Carey proves otherwise with incredible style. She’s shows off a variety of different bang styles with her pixie cuts over the years, proving that pixie cuts are no one trick pony. If you’ve got a pixie cut or are considering getting a one then I suggest you give this great look a try.

10.Parted Bangs: Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams is by far my favourite actress so you’ll have to forgive me for being more than a little bias on this one. She looks stunning with parted bangs and they frame her face beautifully. This style is great with medium to long hair however if you’ve got short hair you might want to consider another style. If, like me, you’ve got quite a small forehead this style may not suit you however as your hair will fall across your face too much. 

11.Convertible Bangs: Hilary Duff

Convertible bangs! What a great idea! Some styles of bangs such as Hilary Duff’s can easily be converted into more than one style, completely transforming your look with just a stroke of the brush. Convertible bangs are great if you easily get bored with your style and would like a change more often than you’re due at the hairdressers or quicker than your hair can grow. If you’re looking for convertible bangs my best suggestion is to have an ultra long fringe as this can be worn as a full fringe, as U shaped bangs, it can be parted down the middle, and even side swept.

12.Round Bangs: Rachel McAdams

This is a great style as it really frames your face. I love the way round bangs neatly slide around your eyebrows and gently slope to frame your face. In my opinion if you’re likely to be tying your hair up a lot this type of bangs will suit you best. If you’ve got a small forehead this type of bang looks fantastic too (not that I’m bias as it’s what I’ve got or anything!).

13.Brow Skimming Bangs: Reese Witherspoon

Brow skimming brows are fab as they give the illusion of a long bangs without you having to worry about having hair in your face constantly. Plus, it also means you can straighten your bangs, adding length to them, and your bangs will still be a nice, manageable length.

14.Funky Bangs: Rihanna

Having bangs doesn’t have to be boring and ordinary. In fact bangs can be incredibly funky, it’s just a case of getting create and finding it within yourself to be bold. Take Rihanna for instance – here she is with a simple pixie cut yet she’s completely transformed her hair by curling her usual side swept bangs and making them look completely different. I love this look, it’s one of my favourite looks on her, and if you can pull of curls I highly suggest you try this with your bangs no matter the length of the rest of your hair.

15.Pompadour Bangs: Miley Cyrus

Here’s another celebrity who’s transformed their bangs (and their pixie cut) to create a while new look. Here Miley has swept her nags up so they look like pompadour bangs which has resulted in a completely new look for her. This is a great look if you’re feeling bold!

Really- what’s not to love about this gorgeous hairstyle? It’s so simple, yet has so much sexy style it’s ridiculous. To achieve this gorgeous style, start by styling your hair with a generous side part. Thick side bangs are almost essential to this style. Leave the top half of your hair completely straight, giving the bottom half plenty of curls and fluff. This achieves the ‘full’ look that gives your entire head plenty of fullness and life.

2. Jessica Biel Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Straight, Straight, Straight

Jessica Biel’s long hairstyle has one thing on its mind: straightness. And while this long hairstyle is so obviously simple to achieve, it’s also bursting with beauty and elegance. Our favorite part about this style is that it’s so versatile and can easily be worn to any event- from the most glamorous occasions to simple get togethers. Leave your hair straight and pair it with some long, lovely bangs that lay just above the eyes.

3. Ashlee Simpson Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Straight Side Part

Although Ashlee Simpson seems to switch up her ‘do every other month, we aren’t complaining- we love all of her beautiful, sexy styles. And this is just one of those hairstyles we fell in love with. Ashlee Simpson shows off beautiful, long red strands that are completely straight. We’re talking at least a little bit of product and a lot of hair straightening to achieve that soft, perfectly straight style. Paired with a set of sexy side bangs, this lovely long hairstyle is definitely one to try.

4. Carrie Underwood Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Layers Framing

Beautiful layers framing the face, shockingly bright blonde hair, and a set of full side bangs- it’s so Carrie Underwood- and it’s oh-so glamorous.

We’re loving this great look with accompanying wispy bangs for a very on-trend look.

Need a style for busy, on-the-go days? Why not try out Anna O’Reilly’s beautiful down hairstyle. She begins by giving her entire head of hair some loose waves, some of those “I just got out of the beach” waves that we all know and love. She then pulls her hair back into a low ponytail, leaving her cute bangs dangling down the sides of her face. We love this style as it is totally low maintenance and can stick by you through the most enduring activities.

Simply tie up your hair in a bun placed directly at the back of your head- not too low, and not too high. Feel free to add some curls or waves, or leave it natural like Becki Newton!

10. Miley Cyrus Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Clips and Waves

It’s been a long while since Miley Cyrus had her long hair, but it’s still a style that is loved by long-haired women around the world.

Then, grab two small strands of hair on each side of the face and pull it back to a very thin up-do, leaving the bulk of the hair to lay beautifully in front. Perfect for classy situations or even roundabouts in town.

13. Jessi Ware Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Short Bangs 

Eye-skimming bangs might be at their height of popularity right now, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for the complete opposite. We love Jessi Ware’s for the simple fact that her bangs are cute and seriously edgy. They are cut extremely short while the rest of the locks are left long. Can we say attitude? Why yes, we can! If you’re looking to revamp your look and want something totally different with plenty of attitude, consider these short shorts!

14. Leigh Lezark Long Hairstyle with Bangs : A Combination

If you’re a fan of structure, then this is definitely the look for you. Leigh Lezark shows us a long hairstyle that has attitude and structure- a combination that can’t fail. The hair is cut with extreme angles that can easily be pointed out, leaving the hair looking fuller with plenty of dimension. If you want to pull off this angular, blunt hairstyle, you may consider doing as Leigh Lezark did and dying your hair black for that extra bit of feisty attitude.

15. Nicole Richie Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Accessories! 

Boho chic. Yes, you’ve heard of it. And you haven’t, let me introduce you to the new era of fashion. Boho chic is basically a cute revamped version of hippie style and it’s seriously taken the fashion world by storm. Here we get a glimpse of boho chic with Nicole Richie’s hairstyle, which includes loose waves throughout, finished off with a gorgeous golden headpiece. Note: This isn’t a headband, it’s a headpiece. It wraps around the top of the head and pulls the hair tight at the top for a really gorgeous look.

16. Taylor Swift Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Ponytail 

Ah, the beloved ponytail. It really doesn’t get any simpler, does it? If you’re in a rush and don’t feel like messing with your hair (but still want to look ridiculously cute), then you definitely need to consider Taylor Swift’s ponytail. It’s pulled back in a ponytail that isn’t too high or too low, giving it a little bounce and perkiness. She leaves the bangs loose to frame her face and give her that flirty, feminine glow.

17. Anne Hathaway Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Small Side Braid

Gals with long hair might get in a rut, always putting their hair in the same straight style. If you want to mix it up while still leaving your hair straight down, try Anne Hathaway’s simple small side braid. It’s nothing too fancy or eye-catching, but it gives your locks a nice break in routine and adds a bit of fun and flirty attitude to your look.

18. Rihanna Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Braided Updo

Through the years Rihanna has continuously shown us sexy hairstyles that we absolutely love- and this just so happens to be one of our absolute favorites. The look is simply gorgeous. Her beautiful brunette side bangs are left to one side of the face while a series of small braids lead back to a glamorous up-do that is ridiculously hot. The alluring ‘do is polished off with some lovely loose curls, making this long hairstyle suitable for the fanciest of all occasions.

19. Haley Strode Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Volumed Half Up-Do

If you’re getting tired of the same ‘ole half up-do day after day, then you might want to take a page out of Haley Strode’s hairstyles book and try this hot look. This half up-do is really just like every other up-do, except for one key feature: volume. Haley Strode leaves her bangs out with a cute middle part and teases her hair up high to create plenty of volume before clipping up her half up-do. If you love half up-dos and your crazy about volume, give this style a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Here we see Beyonce showing off a thick, large side braid that is absolutely stunning. The cute, yet elegant look goes from day to night with ease. Not to mention we love the blend of blondes and browns being combined in her braid. It’s obviously a winner in our books!

21. Janet Jackson Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Volumed Top Bun

If you want a hairstyle that draws attention and is seriously hot, we highly recommend Janet Jackson’s up-do, the volumed bun. This oversized ‘do has a very full and thick appearance that takes the average bun one (or maybe two or three) steps further. It’s absolutely gorgeous and with a few bangs left loose, the style becomes soft and ladylike. Definitely one to try, especially during the warmer seasons!

22. Kaley Cuoco Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Braided Crown

If you can combine two of the latest hair trends, braids and buns, into one awesome hairstyle, there’s no doubt of its amazing quality. Here we see Kaley Cuoco sporting a beautiful bun up-do which is accented with a thick, stunning braid at the crowd of the head. She leaves her long bangs loose and gives them a few very loose curls, thus providing a romantic style that is suited for a queen. An absolutely gorgeous look, it is definitely one to try this year.

Itching to give your hairstyle a little sex appeal? Then consider the voluminous hair of Christina Hendricks.

33. Patricia Arquette Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Dorothy Braids

34. Penelope Cruz Long Hairstyle with Bangs : Bump it Bun

When it comes to bangs, the majority of women choose side bangs; the second option being full, thick eye-skimming bangs. Nobody really opts for middle parted bangs. But judging from how adorable and cute Bella Thorne looks with her cute middle parted bangs, we’re guessing this trend will pick up speed in no time. If you want to lay your bangs differently from the rest, and still look incredibly adorable doing so, consider parting your bangs down the middle. Style your hair in a ponytail like Bella Thorne for extra cuteness!

Gah! Just take a look at this elegant hairstyle from Angelina Jolie. Can she ever do wrong? This lovely hairstyle is rather simple to put together but comes with so much sophisticated appeal you just have to fawn over it. Leave your hair straight (use a straightener if you’re not gifted with naturally straight hair) and pull your hair up into a half up-do using clips or bobby pins. No special effects or fancy accessories and she still looks fabulous. Wow is all we can say!

Let’s start off by taking a look at the thick, heavy, and seriously blunt bangs that run right across the top of the eyelids. This is an undeniable chic and edgy look that gives the face a beautiful frame. Now to move on to the rest of the hair, where we see one side hanging lower than the other.

Of course it’s none other than Reese Witherspoon’s beautiful haircut, featuring shorter locks of hair hanging at her shoulders with plenty of all over layers that look playful and fun. But what we really love about this haircut is the side bangs. They aren’t too thick or overbearing, which is not something you typically seen.

Not all of us can have slim, delicate faces and cheekbones that stand out and define us. Some of us are blessed with slightly rounder faces and full cheeks that bunch up when we smile. If you’re one of the countless women with a round or chubby face then don’t despair. If anything, you should be shouting for joy. Personally I think chubby faces are much more attractive than slimmer faces – there’s something about the way they light up when they smile and a cuteness about them that is otherwise lose.

While faces like this can be a blessing, if you don’t know how to wear you hair with them they can also be a curse. Wearing your hair the wrong way can often make the roundness of your face stand out a little too much, making you look spherical and hiding your cuteness. Don’t panic, I’m not contradicting myself and saying chubby faces are a bad thing – I still firmly believe the opposite – it’s just a case of knowing how to wear your hair, what lengths suit you and what styles you should ultimately avoid. With that in mind, here’s my ultimate list of 20 hairstyles that suit round and chubby faces…

1. Mix Up Your Layers

One of the best ways to make your chubby face look fabulous and a little less round is to frame it with various lengths of layers. Get your stylist to add lots of short layers, medium layers and long layers to give you a textured effect. This will take focus away from your face and is great because it’s a style you can wear flawlessly whether you have wavy, curly or straight hair.

2. Bob

I simply love the bob style – namely because as well as looking fabulous it works great on women of all shape faces when altered slightly. If you’ve got a round or chubby face, try getting a chin length bob. This will call attention to your jaw line and will make your bone structure stand out. The curve of the style, whether you wear it wavy or straight, will frame your face giving it an almost angelic look.

3. Change Your Parting

A classic middle parting may look great but they tend to draw attention to the cheek area, making your cheeks look fuller and rounder – not great if you already have a round face. To combat this, experiment with different partings to see what effect they have on your look. A side parting always looks fab but you could also try wearing a zig-zag parting for extra oomph.

4. Curl Your Hair

We all love straight hair but I’m sorry to say for those of you with a round or chubby face it’s a style best avoided. You may think the look slims down your face but in reality it simply draws attention to your round cheeks. Try wearing your hair in loose waves to give your hair volume, this look will help to slim down those cheeks instantly.

5. Sweeping Bangs

When trying to make your face look slimmer I’m afraid that simple bangs wont cut it. They’ll end up resting on your cheeks and drawing far too much attention to them. Ask your stylist to give you some side swept bangs – this will help to draw attention to your eyes, highlighting them and drawing attention away from the roundness of your face.

6. Pixie Haircut

You probably think I’m crazy but trust me when I say that pixie cuts can be a blessing for women with round faces. Yes, you’re showing off your ‘problem area’ but why does that have to be a bad thing? Cropped pixie cuts with well placed tapering will look the best on this type of face but don’t be afraid to ask your stylists opinion and experiment. Sometimes highlighting what you think are your flaws can actually do you wonders.

7. Half Up Do

If you’re not ready to show off the full extent of the roundness of your face then how about trying a half up do to see what you look like with your round cheeks on show first? This is a beautiful style and, if you leave a few strands loose from your up do, your face is still being frames slightly. You can put as much or as little hair as you want into your up do too so it’s worth experimenting. Some women suit having most of their hair up while others suit having very little up, it’s really all down to personal taste to don’t be afraid to try a few variations of this style out.

8. Long Layers

I mentioned before about mixed layers but I realise the variation in style isn’t for everyone. If you have long hair and are proud of it then you could always get simple long layers cut into your hair. They still draw attention away from your face while allowing you to truly make the most of your luscious locks. If you’re a bit nervous about this style then start off by having just a few layers cut in and gradually build them up.

9. Sleek Ponytails

Once again, why are you trying to hide away your pretty, round face? Why not show it off and make the most of your curves? Sleek ponytails help you do just that. Having all of your hair pulled back off of your face helps show off the true shape of your face. It also highlights the curve of your neck, the shape of your chin and allows people to see right into your eyes. Where’s the downside?

10. High Buns

We all love a beautiful bun, don’t even try to deny it. To instantly make your face look longer and therefore instantly slimmed down, pull your hair into a high bun on top of your head. The extra height will completely change the shape and look of your face and you get to flaunt this incredibly popular and sexy style too. Win, win!

11. Short Hair

I mentioned the bob hairstyle before but I want to reiterate just how great various short hairstyles can look on women with round faces. Forget that silly myth that they make your face look rounder – that’s miles from true! They really soften your face and make the most of your curvy cheeks. I’ll admit short styles do take a bit of trial and error to find your perfect length so I advise getting your stylist to just take a little hair off at a time until you’re happy with your new look.

12. Chignons

This is a great look for women with round faces. Of course, it also looks great on women with slim faces too but that’s not the point. The trick to making it work on a round face is to leave a few strands of hair loose the frame your face and soften your cheeks.

13. Messy Ponytail

If smooth and sleek isn’t your style then try wearing a messy ponytail instead. It will have all the same effects on your face and will also give your hair depth and texture, drawing more attention to that therefore highlighting your round face less. It really is a trial and error style – some women like it really messy, others just like a few stay locks of hair. It’s entirely down to you!

14. Long Locks

Having really long hair does wonders for a round face. It helps to elongate and slim down the look of the face and gives you one kick ass feature for people to look at. I love long hair, it’s one of the best looks if you ask me!

15. Classic Waves

We’ve covered curls and now it’s time to tell you why simple, classic waves are fantastic for round faces. Similar to curls, they soften the look of your face and give your hair volume and texture, instantly slimming out the look of your face. You can have tight waves, loose waves, half your hair waved or all of it. It’s great for making a statement and personalizing your style.

16. Sleek And Straight

Okay, I know, I know, now I am contradicting myself but trust me when I say it’s not for a good reason. You probably weren’t happy with me when I told you that straight hair wasn’t great for round faces which is true… to an extent. If you simply can’t stay away from having luscious smooth locks then try adding a bit of moose of gel to your hair when you’re finished styling it to rough it up a bit. The matte, unkept look with look fab with your smooth hair so you really get the best of both worlds.

17. Accessorize

If you want to draw attention away from the shape of your face with minimal fuss then an accessory is the perfect way to do just that. Simply pick one that goes with your outfit, slip it in a voila! No one will even be looking at your face.

18. Side Braid

I’m a big fan of the side braid, mostly because of how it completely transforms your look. It’s great because while it opens up your face it’s pretty enough to draw they eye so no one will care how round your face is.

19. Add Height

Pushing your pony tail or half up do skyward will instantly elongate your face. The extra height in your hair will make it appear fuller and thicker while slimming down the look of your face. This is a simple illusion that gives great results.
