If you’re over 60 and considering a jaw-length haircut, it’s all about finding a style that suits both your face shape and your hair’s texture. Jaw-length bobs can highlight your features beautifully, but the trick is to maintain the right length and texture to keep it looking fresh. If your hair’s thinning or coarser due to greying, you’ll want to use lightweight volumizing products that won’t weigh your hair down. And don’t forget – the right cut for you will depend on how often you’re willing to trim and maintain it. A cut that frames your chin can really draw attention to your jawline, but adding a soft wave or texture will keep it looking modern. Ready to see what styles will work best for you? Keep scrolling for the top looks!

#1: Side-Parted Bob for Thick Hair

If you have thick hair, try this side-parted bob. The side part will help offset your hair’s thickness and give you a more modern look.

#2: Ageless Bob Haircut

The ageless bob haircut might be just the style you are seeking. Straight and smooth, the lines of this cut will give you superb style and make you look younger. Ask your stylist for a face-framing bang and long layers throughout your bob cut. It’s key to refrain from too much layering if you want that sleek finish. Blow dry the face frame backward, using a medium round brush, and try not to have your bob turn under. Your goal is a straight edgy finish.

#6: Low-Maintenance Inverted Brown Bob

Are you over 60 and looking for a way to make your hair lower maintenance? Try an inverted brown bob. The short, jaw-length haircut will make your styling time extremely short. However, a bob must be restyled often because it tends to get wild when you sleep on short hair. Try doing some waves or curls and spraying with hairspray to make the style go for a few more days.

#7: Dimensional Brown for Jaw-Length Rounded Bob

Consider a jaw-length rounded bob in a beautiful and dimensional brown if you are a woman over 60. This length can be very sassy and fun. But remember, short hair can get messy overnight and will most likely need a touch-up in the morning. Use a blow-dry brush such as L’Ange’s for quick styling.

Create a soft silhouette by trying a fluffy white bob with feathered layers. Cutting the perimeter to jaw length is great for those with long face shapes. It will soften the jawline while creating width to balance the face shape. The addition of feathering in this cut also gently frames the face while taking weight out of the hair. This cut is great for hiding fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

If you love classic hairstyles, try this deep side part short hair with choppy layers. A bob is a classic hairstyle that is complimentary on many face shapes. If you love to show off your creativity, the choppy layers create playfulness. And if you tuck one side behind your ear, it gives an asymmetric look to the hair. One product I love using to create texture in choppy layers is Joico Beach Shake Texturizing Finisher. You can spray directly on the hair, into your fingertips, and pinch onto areas you want to define.

If you have fine gray hair, consider trying a jaw-length blunt bob cut for your next haircut. As hair ages, the texture and color will change, and the hair becomes much finer than before. The blunt cut will help create the illusion of weight in the hair and make it look fuller. The jaw length is great for an oval face shape to create width and help to balance and soften your overall look.

#26: Grey Pixie with Long Side Bangs

A grey pixie with long side bangs is a great alternative to a short style. This flattering pixie bob is ideal for women who enjoy a bit of length around their face and chin. If you’re hesitant about going shorter, this is the perfect shape.
