Team John Beerens - Winter 09-10

Short, medium, and long hairstyles for winter
 
The fabulous hairstyles from John Beerens Hairstudio in the Netherlands show a deep affection for the styles of the '80s and present five looks for short, medium, and long hair.
 
The choices are fun and plentiful: short and spiked, elaborately braided, or long and curly. Women of all types and ages will find ideas on how to enhance their look for the new season. All of the styles Beerens suggests are modern, stylish, and definitely wearable.
 
Presented here are the basic ideas that are just the beginning of a variety of creative options. Play with colors and textures, use retro elements but modern techniques, and voila—you'll not only have a new look but also a new spring in your step and the confident radiance of a woman who knows she is beautiful.
 

Purple Accents

Colorful and fun short hairstyle for older women
 
Pixie cut for older women
 
This textured short pixie cut for older women can be worn left or right, spiked or smooth. It features long sideburns, a short top, and a long asymmetrical fringe that can be styled in a variety of interesting ways.
 
The neck has enough length to complete the dynamic silhouette of this fun and colorful look. Dark red and violet set the tone, with the violet accents placed with much finesse.
 

Silver Hair

Longer hairstyle for an older woman with silver hair
 
Medium-length hairstyle for older women
 
Whether you have natural curls or need a little chemical help, a medium-length, layered, and curly hairstyle is a beautiful way to make it through winter and will look great for more than one season.
 
The curls are flattering and charming, and can transition from casual to festive with just a few styling tricks. One of the best features of this multi-tone style for older women is its versatility. Just move the part from one side to the other to transform the look.
 

Age 40 and Older Hairstyle

Hairstyle with joyful curls for 40-plus woman
 
Updo hairstyle for women over 40
 
Many layers distribute the joyful curls evenly around the head to shape a rounded contour. This is a great way to make the most out of natural curls or, with the help of a perm, thin hair.
 
The small curls have a corkscrew shape, and the cut is long enough to gather the hair in the back for a fun, flirty, and even festive updo. Fine-tuned golden brown highlights bring luster to the hair and add even more definition.
 

Amazing Braid

Long straight hair with a single thin braid
 
Everyone will ask how you did it! A long, thin braid forms the edge of the top layer of hair and flows across the forehead to the middle of one side. It’s based on the technique of a French braid but only has one side of strands feeding into it.
 
A creation that requires skill and trained fingers. The result is a stunning and unique hairstyle that really brings out the beauty of long, sleek hair.
 

Spiraling Mane

Long brown hair with corkscrew curls
 
Fine and light hair becomes glam-fabulous with the help of a large curling iron. The corkscrew curls spiral their way around the head with much motion and definition.
 
With the long fringe swept to the side, the face is framed by a frolicking mass of brunette curls, rather than being concealed. The hair color is a warm, deep brown with a few highlights for extra depth.
