5. Spiking Short Hair

For women as they age, short hairstyles can be very appealing. While longer hair can sometimes lack volume, shorter styles can make thinning hair appear fuller. However, spiking short hair can take away some of that volume. Many modern short cuts offer more age-appropriate and flattering alternatives to traditional spiky styles. Soft, textured layers can naturally add volume without the harshness of spiked hair. Professional stylists recommend using volumizing products and styling techniques that enhance natural texture while maintaining a softer overall look. The goal is to strike a balance between edgy and sophisticated, adding movement and personality without creating sharp, rigid lines. If you’re concerned about maintaining the appearance of thicker hair, spiking might not be the best choice. However, if you love an edgy, modern style, go for it! Just consider whether you’re comfortable sacrificing some volume. Consult a professional stylist for advice on products and techniques that can help you achieve your desired look while keeping your hair looking full and healthy.
