The Mob, the highly recommended haircut for the over 50s

Tailored haircut for the over 50s. With spring just around the corner, it’s time to announce a new haircut trend. Drumroll: Introducing the mobor*__ mid bob__*. A medium bob designed to enhance the hair and face of 50+ women. Imagine a medium-length bob, cut at neck height (a centimeter more, a centimeter less according to taste). The mob is a super soft looking bob, characterized by an innate play of movement and volume. The beauty of this haircut is that it adapts to all hair types, including curls.

How to make the mob cut

As he explains Matteo Orlando, hairstylist of the Mastromauro Hair&Beauty Milano salon, «the mob is the classic haircut that brings together women who love the practicality of the short and those scared of an extreme very short look. Her distinguishing feature: it hides a series of invisible-effect scalings, capable of removing heaviness and create an innate natural movement, so as to make the mob perfect even after air drying without great care. Then there are a series of optional details that every woman over 50 can consider. The mob can indeed be personalized with a fringe parade, one curtain bangs or a lateral tuft. Less recommended is the classic central line, which goes badly with the rough styling of the mob. But never say never: sometimes it’s just a matter of creating a tailored hair look».

At home: the beauty routine of the mob cut

And at home, how to handle the mid bob? «The answer to this question has more to do with the needs of hair after the age of 50, underlines the expert. «The advice is to pamper the hair and scalp by cleansing no more than 3 times a week, always and only with a non-foaming shampoo and with a pH that respects the skin. Invest in a hydrating mask to add softness and body to your hair e in an anti-frizz cream or serum to be used during styling. If you want to emphasize the natural movement of the mob cut, help yourself in the pre-drying phase with a texturizing salt spray, creating waves with your own hands. And remember that the mob cut is also splendid in the silver fo versionx, so if you want to embrace your natural gray hair, don’t hold back.”
