It’s time to end the outdated perception that women over a certain age must cut their hair short or get perms if they want to look great! Women of any age can look stunning with any style. This sleek, angled bob is an outstanding example. It draws the eyes and faces forward while lengthening the neck.
Pixie Cut
The pixie cut is one of the easiest and chicest styles for older women. No matter its length – whether worn long and choppy or short with wispy bangs – styling this style couldn’t be simpler or more timeless! Perfect for every event, from beachy waves to sleek back styles like Ellen DeGeneres. Add salt spray for an effortless, relaxed style, or use styling mousse for elegant back styles like Ellen DeGeneres for an effortlessly cool beachy vibe.
Make an instant statement with an unconventional hair color by adding highlights a few shades lighter than your natural color to add vibrancy and emphasize facial features. Or experiment with more subdued pastel hues like mahogany that complement her warm skin tone!

Layered Bob
A layered bob can be an excellent style option for older women with thick hair, as it helps balance out volume and create an eye-catching style statement. Furthermore, bangs add an edged-up style element.
This chin-length layered bob with face-framing layers looks sleek and sophisticated. Its blonde hue with its on-trend ashy highlights suits most skin tones perfectly, and would look great styled with micro fringe and bold lipstick for an iconic look that won’t go out of style anytime soon.
Extended layered bobs are an excellent choice for thin or medium-textured hair, offering texture-boosting layers and feminine highlights with modernity and femininity. Key to this style is a deep side part.
Long Layered Haircut
Ladies with long hair often benefit from a layered haircut as it hides white threads that make aging gracefully more visible, adding volume and texture. A layered cut also helps manage thick strands and lessen their weight, providing an effortless style.
Wear this style with a side part and long feathered bangs for an intriguing asymmetric silhouette that sways gently, perfect for mature women who don’t wish to give up their length. It looks both sensuous and modern!

Curly Hairstyle
Women over 60 have many choices when it comes to styling curly hairstyles. A popular look among them is a messy ponytail, allowing curls to fall freely over the shoulders. This classic look works equally well whether your locks have been permed or naturally curled, creating an elegant style suitable for both special occasions and everyday life.
Another excellent choice for women with long locks is a chin-length layered cut worn by actress Helen Mirren. This look can be styled either with a center parting or an off-center part and lends itself well to curling iron use. Add highlights for maximum impact!
If you want a longer curly hairstyle, why not try this black layered style? Start by sleeking the fringe hair towards either side of your head before curling the remaining strands to form curly-wavy patterns that should reach shoulder length.
Wigs
There’s this outdated assumption that women over a certain age should cut off their hair. Yet there are numerous styles suitable for older women; an accessible style with full bangs layered bob frames the face while concealing forehead lines, adding femininity while remaining easy to manage.
An angled pixie cut can also be an ideal style choice for older women. While more dramatic, it works great with both thick and thin locks alike and can help hide receding hairlines or bald spots.
For those undergoing hair thinning, wigs can be an invaluable way to keep the appearance of healthy locks intact and provide much-needed comfort during an uncertain time. Not only is a wig an attractive fashion statement, but its ease can provide extra support during an already difficult time.
