After 60, styling your hair may not be as exciting, but finding a hairstyle that suits your face shape, hair texture, and complexion is still possible. These short haircuts for those over 65 are both fashionable and low maintenance.
Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts are stylish and easy to style. This blonde version adds dimension and highlights your complexion. The asymmetric style with shorter sides and longer layers in the front elongates the face and gives a youthful appeal. Platinum blonde highlights add shimmer. Blonde pixie cuts suit all skin tones, while dark brown hair creates a piece-y effect, covering thinness and complementing the angles of your face. To modernize the look, ask your stylist to add choppy and shaggy layers. A side-swept fringe can further elongate your face.
Bob
A short bob can look wonderful on women over 65, especially those with thick hair. This style frames the face beautifully and is easy to maintain. Adding feminine touches like pink tints can further customize this hairstyle. The classic bob is timeless and suitable for all hair types. Consider the natural texture of your hair while selecting the cut to protect its health. Adding side-swept fringe and layers can add dimension and make your features appear younger. Maintain this style with regular trims and volumizing products.
Side-Swept Bangs
Bangs can enhance your look, especially with the right cut. A dark auburn mid-length shag with sweeping side bangs is an attractive update. Ask your stylist for a layered bob and use volumizing products for fullness and dimension in your bangs. Cut your hair when it’s dry to account for shrinkage. An elegant side-swept fringe flatters almost all facial structures. Aim for a length that allows easy pulling back into a ponytail or updo. The brow-grazing length works well for those unsure about short or medium hair.
Long Layers
The long layer haircut features layers that extend below the chin, perfect for thick or voluminous locks that can be styled into loose waves and curls. This cut suits various face shapes and colors. Create jagged and angled short layers for an eye-catching look with edge and sophistication. Ash brown hair works particularly well, and side-swept bangs complement the style. Long boho-style layers give a stylish and relaxed look for older women. Request feathering when cutting for added texture, and consider the balayage technique for a natural sun-kissed appearance.
