Hair Styles for Over 40

Style, cut, color your hair – your way.

However you want to wear your hair, that’s how you should wear it.

We want to create a safe space for you to rock your ‘do and feel 100% free to do you.

These are the Hologram mottos.

‘Nuff said?

Now, with that as our foundation, let’s talk about what hairstyles look like as we enter to the fresh 40s. There’s something freeing about crossing that 40 threshold. The 20s and even the 30s can feel like we’re trying to keep up with trends, comparing ourselves to others and measuring our hair by this imaginary style measuring stick.

Then 40 comes and we feel more free. We know ourselves better and feel more confident in our skin (and our hair). The 40s can offer the opportunity to try out a brand new style that speaks to who you truly are. Why not have fun with it?

If you’re feeling like you want to update your style, we’re here for you. Let’s take a look at some of our favorite styles for the 40s.

Short and sweet

Many women choose to chop it off in their 40s. There’s less maintenance and there’s something quite freeing about lopping off those locks.

But short hair still offers so many styles to choose from. You could bob it – with layers, with curls, a blunt bob or a deep side bob with a sharp chic look. You could lob it – French-girl, textured lob, cute and messy or straight and sexy. You could rock an edgy razor cut, do a short crop cut or a messy short shag.

Tinkerbell, anyone?

We know you tried it in the 90s when Gwenyth did it. Listen, we did too. And guess what? It’s still ready for you. The pixie cut is a bold choice for anyone looking to make the plunge. There’s the tapered pixie with a spiky crown, undercut pixie, two-toned long tapered pixie, asymmetrical pixie, undercut pixie, long razored spiked pixie, tapered blonde balayage pixie, side parted pixie. Any way you cut or style the pixie cut you’re sure to turn heads and show your confidence.

Fringe It Up.

Feathered bangs, short bangs, long bangs, sassy side bangs, wispy soft bangs… If you’ve never tried bangs before, the 40s offer you a whole new bang game to try out.

Add Some Color

As if all these styles weren’t bold enough, color is where you can truly transform your look. First off, gray is all the rage these days. So, if you’re starting to see some of those silver strands show through you don’t have to feel forced to hide them. We can do some gray blending or create a gorgeous transitional color that will incorporate that silver vixen look.

The fun of color doesn’t stop at 40, in many ways it’s just beginning. From ombres and balayage to lived-in color and fashion colors, if you can dream it, we can color it. But we should have a consultation first to see what’s possible within the realms of your original color.

We hope you’re getting the big picture here. We could literally go through hundreds of styles that are perfect for the 40s. The message that we want to get across is that rather than limiting your hairstyle, the 40s open doors to styles, cuts and colors that the previous decades did not.
