Long Locks
There’s a common perception among women over 60 that their hair must be short to remain beautiful and complement their facial features, yet many celebrities prove otherwise. Long locks can still look stunning while enhancing facial features. A layered bob with side-swept bangs can be the ideal style to add volume and frame your face, with its feathered ends adding volume while the side-swept bangs frame your features.
Long Locks with Stylish Accessories
Women with long locks often enjoy allowing them to grow out for an elegant, mature appearance. This style allows them to select a length that best complements their face shape, complexion, and hair texture/type, providing versatility when styling with stylish accessories. Teased layered bobs can add volume and fullness to thin strands for those with naturally gray hair, complementing many facial structures without looking brassy like bleached locks would. A teased layered bob can also be worn casually and for formal events without ever looking ungainly or out-of-place. The dark brown shade also helps cover gray without creating brassy locks.
Alternative Short Hairstyle – Stacked Pixie Cut
An alternative short hairstyle that can be worn with a side-swept bang to frame the face is a stacked pixie cut with choppy layers for texture and blonde highlights to brighten grey strands. The result is an elegant, feminine style that requires little maintenance to look its best.
Medium Length Cuts
Medium-length cuts offer an alternative for those not ready for such drastic measures. This style ranges from below the chin to above your shoulders and works well with most types of hair textures and lengths. Layered feathered bobs with side bangs can be ideal for mature ladies looking to keep their locks looking modern and youthful. For darker hair shades, lowlights may add subtle highlights that brighten and shine. If you prefer formal looks, a side-swept layered bob is an excellent way to achieve them. It is classic yet elegant, perfect for special events when worn with elegant gowns or with blonde highlights for added brightness, and it helps embrace natural grays while masking any signs of white or salt and pepper that might exist in your locks.
Short Haircuts
There are many stylish options for women over 60 who prefer short haircuts. A sleek bob or pixie cut is still a timeless look, or try layering for something easy and flattering on anyone – the key is finding one that complements your personality and face shape while being easy to maintain. For an elegant and feminine style, try opting for a layered bob that frames your face beautifully, complementing deep side-swept bangs beautifully. Additionally, try adding in some balayage highlights for added color and vibrancy. Charlotte Rampling proves that you don’t need long hair at an older age to feel beautiful and confident. Her simple wash-and-wear hairstyle for older women, perfect for work and celebration, also works well at hiding any grey hairs. It features feathered layers sweeping back towards the nape of her neck for an attractive structure.
Curly Hairstyles
Women over 60 can still sport feminine and sophisticated short hairstyles, such as the inverted collarbone-length pixie with long feathered layers to keep hair off of their faces. It is an effortless style for thick hair that adds mature chic while hiding grey hair! If your locks are naturally curly, try a wavy bob with long textured layers for an elegant yet playful style. It looks stunning when styled with side-swept bangs for added grace and playfulness; plus, it helps thicken thin locks by adding volume. Curly strands may benefit from a fully rounded bob, an effortless style to maintain that suits round faces perfectly. Accentuate this cut with subtle highlights for women over 60; those who sport naturally gray hair are especially appealing! This cut provides plenty of opportunities to show off shades of salt and pepper!
