As spring 2025 brings newfound freshness to nature, it’s the perfect time for women over 70 to embrace a hairstyle that beautifully showcases their high cheekbones. This striking facial feature deserves to be highlighted with the right cut, especially as we enter the season of renewal and transformation.
Why high cheekbones deserve the perfect frame
High cheekbones are a timeless beauty feature that many women desire but few naturally possess. “Women over 70 with high cheekbones have a distinct advantage when it comes to selecting flattering hairstyles,” says Gloria Martinez, celebrity stylist at Luminous Hair Studio. “The right cut can accentuate these features while creating a youthful, elegant appearance.”
The pixie cut renaissance
The pixie cut continues to reign supreme this spring for women with distinguished facial features. This quick-styling pixie option offers tremendous advantages for women with high cheekbones.
“A carefully crafted pixie cut is like a spotlight that draws attention to your best features,” explains Dr. Emily Watson, beauty aging specialist. “For women with high cheekbones, a textured pixie with feathered layers creates the perfect frame while eliminating styling hassles.”
The modern pixie offers versatility through:
- Soft, wispy layers that add movement
- Side-swept bangs that soften facial contours
- Textured crown sections for added volume
- Low-maintenance daily styling
The timeless layered bob
A chin-length or jaw-skimming layered bob stands as another excellent choice for spring 2025. This cut serves as a perfect balance between sophistication and manageability, especially for those wanting to create the illusion of a wider face.
Think of the layered bob as a beautiful picture frame that draws the eye directly to your prominent cheekbones. The layers create movement like gentle ocean waves, bringing life and dimension to the hair while emphasizing facial structure.
Side-swept bangs: The secret weapon
One particularly flattering option for women over 70 is incorporating side-swept bangs into virtually any haircut. These bangs can:
- Create asymmetry that highlights cheekbones
- Soften forehead lines and wrinkles
- Add a contemporary touch to classic cuts
Embracing your silver crown
Spring 2025 continues the trend of celebrating natural silver hair. “Women over 70 should view their silver hair as their crowning glory,” says Master Stylist Robert James. “The contrast between silver hair and high cheekbones creates a striking visual harmony that’s both elegant and confident.”
For those embracing their natural gray, consider silver-enhancing cuts that maximize shine and dimension.
Updo options for special spring occasions
For spring weddings and formal events, consider elegant updos like pearl-accented high buns that further accentuate cheekbones by drawing the eye upward. These styles create a lifting effect, essentially providing a natural face-lift without surgery.
The importance of consultation
I recently met Marian, a 74-year-old former model with striking cheekbones who struggled with thinning hair. After consulting with a specialist in mature hair, she opted for a textured pixie with side-swept bangs. “It’s like I found my younger self again,” she told me. “People notice my cheekbones first, not my age.”
What haircut will showcase your beautiful high cheekbones this spring? Whether you choose a sophisticated pixie, a classic bob, or another flattering style, remember that the perfect haircut is one that makes you feel as radiant on the outside as you are on the inside.
