Short Hair Over 50? No Problem!

Short hair flatters women of all ages, and your wedding day is no exception. Consider these tips for a timeless and elegant look:

 

Embrace texture: Add volume with a texturizing spray and create loose waves for a youthful appearance.

Accessorize wisely:  Statement earrings or a sparkling headband can draw attention upwards and add a touch of glamour.

Highlight your best features:  If you have great cheekbones, consider a sleek and sophisticated style. If you have beautiful eyes, opt for loose waves that frame your face.

 

South Indian Delights:

South Indian weddings have their own unique charm, and hairstyles play a big role in the celebration. Here are some stunning options for short hair:

 

Venimala: This traditional braid typically starts from the hairline and flows down the back, adorned with jasmine flowers and gold ornaments. 

Jada with Gajra: Similar to the Venimala, a Jada is a single braid that can be decorated with gajra and other hair accessories.  

Bun with Konde Pookkal: This beautiful style features a bun adorned with "konde pookkal," a special type of flower native to South India.  

Loose Curls with Maang Tikka: For a modern twist on tradition, consider loose curls with a maang tikka that complements your saree or lehenga.

 

Beyond the List: Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Hairstyle

Consider your face shape: Certain hairstyles flatter different face shapes.  Consult with a stylist to determine what works best for you.
