Short hairstyles for women over 60, such as chic pixies or adaptable bob cuts, are not only fashionable, but they can also rejuvenate thinning or lifeless hair. Embrace short hair that can accentuate your features while maintaining softness through elements like wispy bangs and face-framing layers.
To keep your short haircut looking fresh, it’s essential to learn the styling techniques and appropriate products to maintain volume and minimize frizz. Regular trims every 4-8 weeks will further prevent your haircut from appearing flat or mushroom-like.

A long blonde pixie paired with shorter layers is a popular choice for mature women like you. Very short hair is best styled with a texturizing spray to help add more volume and to give your hair a little more hold. An elongated pixie is designed to be graceful by side-swept bangs, pointed edges around your ears and neckline, and extra volume.

This short haircut is a one-length bob with subtle layers and side bangs. I would recommend a short layered bob if you’re a mature woman who desires a playful and low-maintenance hairstyle! I suggest highlights with this type of cut to help highlight the layers if you want to grow out your natural gray hair color.
#12: Trendy Asymmetrical Bob
Ladies over 60 who visit me at the salon frequently inquire about simple ways to appear more youthful. I often suggest incorporating some highlights.

The shorter layers in the crown area add height and volume making it ideal for finer hair types.

Incorporating a side part into a short feathered bob is an excellent choice for women over 60 as it accentuates the eyes and cheekbones.

The highlight of this look is its ease of maintenance. If you typically opt for shorter hair, this could be a style worth trying. I recommend using a round brush that’s not overly small; a 2.5-inch brush can provide significant volume. This size helps prevent a “bubble” look while delivering impressive lift for your hair.
#22: Bold Red Choppy Layers
Embrace your adventurous side with bold choppy layers. For older women, opting for a chopped hairstyle can create a more youthful look. Long hair can sometimes weigh you down and contribute to an older appearance. While red hair can require more upkeep, if you’re not prepared to invest extra time at the salon, you might want to steer clear of such a striking color.

A graduated choppy chunky bob on your gray hair might just be the cut you are searching for. A choppy bob with a graduated nape is flattering for most face shapes and age groups and can make your neck appear longer. If you have fine hair, apply a hair volumizer before blow-drying it.

#45: Full-Bodied Salt-and-Pepper Short Bob for Round Faces
One of the top hairstyles for women over 60 with a round face is a short bob featuring face-framing layers. When opting for a shorter style, this kind of tapered cut is simple to manage, ages beautifully on salt-and-pepper hair, and provides a lift at the crown while beautifully framing the face. This chic short hairstyle offers the best of both worlds – length at the neckline for comfort and height at the crown. The angled silhouette along the jawline in this bob style is flattering from a side perspective.
#46: Elegant Jaw-Length Bob with Extended Bangs
As you age gracefully, you can enhance your well-defined jaw-length bob hair with a touch of highlights. Among the most popular jaw-length short haircuts for women over 60, bobs consistently rank at the top of my recommendations. Incorporate some longer bangs to elevate this timeless style.
#47: Chic Blunt Cut Blonde Bob Hairstyle
A short-to-medium haircut can also have a bold effect, depending on how it’s styled. With the bluntness of the cut, follow the jawline either at the jaw or just below, depending on the desired effect/edginess while considering your face shape. A short blunt cut bob looks fantastic on my older clients and always draws compliments, but maintaining its appearance does require some styling. Keep longer layers in the interior of your cut to enhance texture and provide movement.

Blended layers work wonderfully on finer densities and smooth to wavy textures. This technique will enhance volume and texture in your hair that can be achieved through styling methods like hot tools and product aids such as styling wax.

Opt for a graduated bob with razored layers. Razor cuts provide flawless lines that make styling effortless, allowing your hair to naturally fall into place. A minimal product, just a touch of Aveda Phomollient and spray shine will enhance the shimmer of your hair when it moves. Use a flat brush for a sleeker look or a round brush for added volume. It looks fabulous on women with a more slender face and neck. You can truly highlight this cut with dimensional highlights or on your natural gray hair, as seen on the model in the picture.
#50: Timeless Straight Bob with Layered Bangs
Consider a classic bob with bangs for an elegant hairstyle. This look can be incredibly flattering as it provides an instant style while requiring minimal effort on a daily basis. A shorter cut enhances volume and ensures a vibrant appearance by removing excess length. Enjoying healthy hair adds to the benefit, creating a more youthful look.
