Long hair over 40? Absolutely.
It’s not just for fairy tales or shampoo commercials.
These days, long hair is all about confidence, character, and great layers.
You’ve earned every strand—and you get to wear it however you please.
But maybe it’s time to freshen things up.
Maybe those ends are starting to whisper “trim me” a little too loudly.
Or maybe you’re just ready for a cut that works with your lifestyle—not against it.
From lived-in layers to soft waves and everything in between, 2025 has brought some seriously smart styles.
And no, you don’t need a 20-step styling routine to pull them off.
All you need is a little inspiration and the right haircut.
Luckily, you’re in the perfect place for both.
