Short haircuts can make an eye-catching statement about who you are. Numerous styles are sure to flatter and look lovely against any face shape.
Pixie Cut
Look to a messy side-swept pixie for an informal and flirty style that suits women over 40 with either wavy or straight locks. This hairstyle will offer the ideal casual and flirty style!
Scarlett Johansson epitomizes this style with her elegant yet striking short pixie cut for older ladies – both feminine and sophisticated. Scarlett has worn it both with bangs and without, with either style looking adorable. Her hair has been feathered for volume and texture and features pale blonde roots in classic fashion.
If you want a short pixie with side-swept bangs for an aesthetically pleasing appearance that frames your face perfectly, try styling it with an undercut on its nape for added edge and modern charm.
If you want a fairy with more texture, follow Jourdan Dunn’s example and apply texturizing paste. This will give your haircut a piece-y appearance and distinguish itself from other concise pixie styles for older women.
Short Layered Bob
Short layered bob hairstyles are stylish thick hair options that require added shape and texture. Their internal layering helps remove bulk while adding body and drawing attention to facial features with light reflections.
For fuller volume in your layered bob haircut, request more layers to achieve fuller volume. Wavy bobs also look stunning when highlighted with brown hues and caramel-hued caramel highlights and finished with a casual tousled style.

Blunt bobs can work great on fine hair. Just request a shorter length with more layers for an edgy style, or a longer sharp cut for a fuller appearance. Alternatively, opt for a sexy choppy layered bob for added dimension!
