#1: Face-Framing Angled Bob with Layers
A face-framing angled bob with layers is perfect for a stylish lady. Enhance your style by adding face-framing bangs. If you have thick hair, your stylist can trim it to free up movement. A slight bend or curl adds sophistication to this look and also makes it easier to maintain. Enjoy this fancy and simple-to-keep hairdo.
#2: Pixie Bob with a Deep Side Part
A pixie bob has a bob length but with layers and shapes of a long pixie, making it feel full. You can style a pixie bob with a deep side part for stand-out fringe. Also, consider an undercut as a highlighted feature. The style is both refined and edgy.
#3: Side-Parted Curly Long Bob
Try a rounded, layered shape if you want your thick, curly hair to look elegant and easy to style. The shape gives your hair a rounded and symmetrical volume, avoiding the common triangular shape that curly hair can have. A cute side-parted bob is the way to go for a wash-and-go styling.
#4: Edgy Razored Pixie Cut
If you have very thick hair, you can reduce some of the bulk by having an undercut. An undercut is an area that’s cut very short under the rest of your hair. Pair the undercut with a textured pixie cut. I recommend keeping the area around the ears soft to maintain a feminine feel.
#5: Textured Messy Long Pixie
You can elevate this haircut by adding fresh texture and volume to it. This longer pixie might have extended tresses around the ears. Through the nape, it can give a cute, extended, feathery look. To add volume, apply a root boost spray such as ‘set spray’ from cult and king. Afterward, style it using a round brush.

#6: White Blonde on Blunt Concave Bob
The concave bob is a hairstyle where the hair curves inwards. This inward-curving style creates a round shape that elegantly transitions into an a-line. For thick white hair, an undercut and a slight bevel can make it look outstanding.
#7: Layered Pixie with Side-Swept Bangs
A soft pixie cut is a versatile, feminine short hairstyle. Request keeping the length at the ears this allows for tucking it behind your ears for a shorter but gentler appearance compared to cutting around the ear. A full, sweeping fringe provides coverage and frames the face beautifully.
#8: Pink Rounded Bob with Soft Bangs
Consider a pink, rounded bob hairstyle with soft bangs. This hairstyle is all about an elegant, rounded bob that exudes fullness. I recommend techniques such as point cutting, slicing, or using a razor to maintain a soft, wispy texture throughout the hair. With its added roundness, this cut looks great on a narrow face shape. Lastly, add a feminine, soft pink color to this hairstyle for a more sophisticated look.
#9: Effortless Tapered Pixie Cut
If your hair isn’t thinning, a tapered pixie cut can help. You should ask for softness around the neck and ear regions. Also, do ask for long layers, as this can add texture. I’d recommend a lightweight product. Consider using a cream or spray. Avoid gels or waxes, as they can weigh your hair down.
#10: Short Hair with Stacked Layers
An on-trend a-line bob is ideal for thick tresses. Softly blended layers create a classy vibe with a dramatic edge. A round brush will enhance your hairstyle, creating lift and body in all the right places.
#11: Voluminous Layered Hair with a Face Frame
This style is excellent for women over 60 with thick hair who want to keep their hair length. Adding extra layers to the crown and face frame lets you eliminate a bulky style and create lift and movement. The perfect face framing is determined by your face shape, and your stylist can assist you in achieving what suits you best.
#12: Light Blonde on Graduated Chin-Length Bob
Creating the right shape for your hair comes with a great consultation. When you are working with fine yet thick hair, you can easily create a rounded shape classic bob. With an under bevel, the hair will curve under, and the crown layers will be on top. This will give you a full, voluminous style.
#13: Shoulder-Length Grey Feathered Haircut
Effortless styles are those which can be created easily. When you have beautiful, thick hair, you can add movement by removing some weight. When one creates light, feathery layers, it becomes easy to work with and style the hair.
#14: Pixie Shag with Choppy Layers
A thick hair pixie will need thinning if you want a flattering shape. By framing your face from the front and side and personalizing the style, you can create a perfect cut. To reduce the weight of your hair and make styling easier, I recommend point cutting, slicing, and razor work.
#15: Mid-Length Peach Hair with Curtain Bangs
Women with mid-length thick hair could consider incorporating curtain bangs and a peach hue. I often recommend a fun color tint to anyone looking to spice up their blonde. The peach tint will fade after a few washes, leaving a beautiful champagne-colored hue in blonde hair. Curtain bangs can frame and enhance the face. They can be styled and feathered using a blow-dry brush or straightener.
#16: Sun-Kissed Long Bob with Blended Layers
A long bob with sun-kissed hues and blended layers suits women over 60 with thick hair. The layered style needs little care as it grows out elegantly. Warm blonde and brown tones make the hair appear healthy and shiny. To keep the glow, treat your hair with Moroccan Oil every time you clean it.
#17: Medium-Length Blonde Coarse Hair
If you’re a woman over 60 with coarse, blonde hair, give a medium-length cut a try. The medium cut suits different face shapes. You could bring in curtain or swoop bangs to frame your face. Washing and going or blow-drying for a sleek look are both options. Keeping your hair layers longer makes your style easier to handle.
#18: Sleek Angled Lob Haircut
Women over 60 with thick hair should consider a sleek, angled lob haircut if they want a sophisticated change. This style will instantly give you a confident and professional appearance. After trimming the ends, stylists should lighten the bottom part of the hair. Since the haircut doesn’t have distinct layers, lightening the hair can provide the same shape and volume as layers would, allowing the hair to fall naturally and beautifully. Adjust the length in front according to the face shape.
#19: Medium Subtle Layers on Silver Hair
Medium subtle layers look amazing on women over 60 with thick, silver hair. Stylists should slide cut throughout the midshaft and to the ends to remove heaviness. The removal of this heaviness will allow your curled hair to stay put. Point cut the layers for soft movement and then run a 1 to 1.5-inch iron through them. Wrap small sections around the iron for 15-20 seconds, or more, if your hair struggles to hold a curl, and wait for them to cool completely before running your fingers through.
#20: Short Side-Swept Layered Bob
With effortless chic, always in vogue, the short, swept, layered bob cut adds bounce, width, and volume. A deep side split and a tuck behind the ear shape a soft yet formed outline. For a softer look, stagger the parting. A thin comb pin slides it from the forehead to the back for an even split.
#21: Sleek Wedge Bob Style
A smooth, straight, wedged graduated bob is a style that is easy to maintain. With this style, the nape doesn’t require much attention, and the weight line falls naturally. However, if your hair is wavy or curly, you will need to dry it with tension on a brush to shape it nicely. Keep the sides slightly longer for a subtle transition from short to longer hair.
#22: Chunky Layers for Gray Hair
Layers add movement, texture, and versatility to long hair. They can give hair more height and width or even make it flick. Tell your stylist the effect you want from your layers. Drying the layers that frame your face in different directions can dramatically change your look, so don’t be afraid to experiment.

#23: Thick Inverted Lob for Straight Hair
Those with thick hair can opt for a ‘lob’ style. Remember, this can make the hair appear even thicker. To alleviate this, consider a slight reduction in length. This can help adjust the overall shape, especially at the back of the neck (or ‘nape’). Even though layered cuts do reduce the hair’s bulkiness, avoid going too short. The hair’s thickest part is where the shortest layer is located. Therefore, this layer should ideally sit below the ear’s bottom.
#24: Tousled Short Pixie with Side Bangs
Want to go shorter with your hairstyle but still maintain length at the sides? I would suggest a layered, short pixie cut. To soften the look, add a sweeping side fringe that falls to the longer sides. This type of cut allows for deep partings, which can give your hairstyle a more stylized finish. If you’re using a straightener on your fringe, avoid overdoing it. This might cause your hair to look disjointed from the rest of the cut.
#25: Blonde Pixie with Short Swoopy Layers
A trendy short haircut involves tapering in the nape, and adding layers to the top and sides. Keep these areas longer so you can blow-dry the hair away from your face and add a feathered look at the back. To style it, I’d recommend a cream-based product. Run your fingers back away from your face to separate the strands.

The Perfect Cut
Marley recommends mid-length to longer haircuts for a youthful vibe. She suggests layers to bring movement and a modern feel to your look. A favorite of hers is the “90’s blowout” style. It has soft face-framing layers at the front and shorter ones at the back. If you like your hair up off your neck, a textured bob can work wonders. It avoids the dreaded “triangle” look by removing bulk.
Matching Haircuts to Face Shapes
Marley has tailored suggestions for each face shape. Oval faces can rock almost any cut, including pixies. Round faces look great in many styles, but should avoid heavy bangs. Diamond-shaped faces shine with collarbone-length cuts and textured layers. These styles bring out the cheekbones. Heart-shaped faces do well with soft pixie cuts or long bobs. Oblong faces benefit from mid-length cuts with layers. The goal is to choose a style that makes you happy.
Styling Made Simple
For styling, Marley understands her clients want easy routines. She loves sea salt or texture spray for a quick and easy look. The R+Co Rockaway Salt Spray creates a beachy texture. For more hold, she recommends the Shu Uemura Wata Wave Texture Spray. A curling iron can add light waves to longer hair. For short styles, scrunching in some sea salt spray gives a natural feel. Don’t forget a heat protectant to keep your hair safe.
