Just because you might be older in age than some of your peers or family, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a sexy and gorgeous hairstyle. Yes women over 60, I’m talking to you!
As we age, our styles are likely to change (remember those embarrassing teen photos when you thought your funky hair was cool?). It’s important to remember that just because you have gray hair (or not) doesn’t mean you need to have boring hair.
Gray hair is gorgeous and is beautifully flaunted when properly cut and styled to match your look and highlight your features. Check out these six most popular hairstyles for women over 60 so you can know what to tell your hairstylist at your next appointment. Be daring!
Full Textured Crop
A full textured crop haircut remarkably shaves off several years from the face, making this one of the most popular hairstyles for women over 60. With a little teasing and some hairspray, this look can last you throughout the day without sacrificing on volume or style.
Short Pixie
Many women 60 and over love to chop off that hair for a fresh, new look. Embracing a short pixie can be scary or even intimidating at first, but once women grasp the ease and edgy style of a pixie, it’s hard to ever go back to having long hair. Upkeep is super easy and maintenance stays at a minimum.
Shoulder-Length Shag
For women over 60 with long, oval facial features, short hair can be harder to pull off. If you’re looking for a style that’s always trending, then a shoulder-length shag is the hairstyle for you. This cut is perfect for women wanting to keep a bit of length without completely cutting off those precious locks.
The best part about the shag is you can change it up if you want to, unlike a pixie which stays more or less the same. Add curls or waves to the shag, straighten it, or throw it up in a low bun to get it out of your face.
Classic Bob
A bob is known to be a classic hairstyle for practically all ages thanks to its universality in shaping the face. A classic, rounded bob is an easy hairstyle for women over 60 to pull off. It requires minimal maintenance and a routine visit to the hairstylist (to keep the chin length).
Long Gray Waves
If you’ve been a lover of long hair all your life, you very well might want to sport those same lushious locks throughout your 60s and beyond. Long, gray waves are beautifully edgy, and if you have them you should flaunt them. This hairstyle might take longer to care for, but the final result is well worth it.
Layers & Bangs
Don’t underestimate what layers and bangs can do for women over 60. This hairstyle, whether you choose only layers or only bangs, or both, is a great way to bring volume and texture back to your style. Bangs are perfect for hiding any unwanted forehead wrinkles and make your eyes pop. Adding a layered combo further frames your face and puts a gorgeous smile into focus.
You’re just an appointment away from owning one of these age-defying hairstyles for women over 60. Which one will you choose?
