Let’s be real—finding the right short haircut for a round face when you’re over 60 isn’t just about “looking younger” anymore. It’s about showing off your natural beauty in a way that feels effortless. The key? Shape and proportion are everything. You want a cut that elongates and slims the face while keeping it fresh. A layered or tapered bob that sits right around your chin can do wonders for balancing out roundness. And don’t be afraid to add some volume up top—this can create more angles, giving your face the perfect frame. Ready to see some chic looks that’ll inspire your next cut? Let’s dive in!

#2: Short Textured Shaggy Mullet
A short textured shaggy mullet could be in your future. Shaggy cuts are all the rage and are easy to style, so you should consider trying one. Ask your stylist for short shaggy layers and soft lengths left around the ears and back. The style looks best when your hair is dry and tousled, using the body in your hair, and it’s easy to manage. The short bang is perfect to balance out round face shapes but make sure they are wispy. My hot tip is to try styling the top of your hair forward to give your look a more modern feel.
#3: Voluminous Bob for Straight Hair
Straight hair sometimes needs extra assistance to boost volume. Adding graduated layers is an excellent method to achieve it. Request subtle disconnected crown layers for additional lift. These also add height, which is ideal for complementing a round face.
#4: Pixie Crop with Short Bangs
You can also add a round shape to your bangs even if you have a round face. By adding height to the crown of the hairstyle, you can make your face look longer. This feature also compliments shorter bangs. Ask your stylist for a cropped pixie which means you will have extra hair to work with in the crown and temple areas.
#5: Platinum White Bob for Thin Hair
A platinum white bob is a great option for thin hair. A bob cut adds density to fine hair, making limp tresses appear voluminous. Incorporating textured layers provides the thickness needed to give an illusion of height at the top of the head. For seniors who have round faces and worry about looking too short, an asymmetrical parting helps enhance facial length.
#6: Golden Blonde Short Hair with Side-Swept Bangs
A golden blonde short hair with side-swept bangs. For an elegant style, try adding a textured bang and asymmetry to the cut. This is a great way to balance a round face shape and give you an updated look at any age. Golden highlights add warmth and light to your face. They suit warmer skin tones.
#7: Textured Stacked Bob with Wispy Bangs
Go for a textured short stacked bob paired with wispy bangs. Get a graduated stacked bob to add movement, body, and texture to your thin hair. This bob style creates a full hair shape, complemented by wispy bangs to balance a round face shape. Moreover, keeping the hair longer at the front can help elongate the face, while adding waves will enhance the overall texture and body.
#8: Edgy Pixie with Asymmetrical Bangs
Here’s an edgy pixie with asymmetrical bangs. For a round face shape, you should choose asymmetry and crown height. Ask your stylist for this edgy cut and asymmetrical crop. This is a great cut if you want to add volume to finer hair textures.
#9: Side-Parted Wavy Bob Style
A side-parted wavy bob style is a fantastic cut that works on all hair types. The style looks youthful, but older women can wear it easily, making them feel great. The bob cut can soften a round face and hide sagging skin. A light layer is recommended to create volume. To style this bob, you can blow dry or diffuse it. Use a 3/4-inch iron to touch up the top layer if needed.
#10: Voluminous Brushed-Back Pixie for Fine Hair
Want a playful hairstyle for your fine hair? Choose a voluminous brushed-back pixie. Ask your stylist for a pixie cut that is lengthy enough for styling it up and off your face. Styling your pixie cut this way lifts your face naturally and adds volume to your hair. This haircut suits women with round face shapes and finer hair textures.
#11: Low-Maintenance Pixie Cut Curly Hair
For fine curly hair, a low-maintenance youthful pixie cut would be perfect. The short length helps remove weight so the curls can bounce up for added volume and offer a flattering shape. This hairstyle suits all ages, from children to seniors over 60, with round faces.
#12: Gray Chin Bob with Side Bangs
For hair that is graying, a chin-length bob with bangs swept to the side will add softness and volume. A side part is effective in providing a lighter and more fluid appearance to your hairstyle. I recommend using a volume mousse for the best possible blowout on this hairstyle.
#13: Bobbed Gray Hair with Full Bangs
Bobbed gray hair with full bangs adds fullness to your look. If you have round face or chubby cheeks, longer bangs could flatter your face.
