As women age, they often question whether they can still keep up with trends. The truth is, style has no age limit—any woman can turn heads at any stage of life! A great place to start is with your hairstyle. The right cut can enhance your confidence and help you look and feel your best. Let’s dive in!

Brown Blonde Layered Hairstyle

Look at the way these layers fall. It looks complicated as a ‘do to style at home, but it isn’t.

Just ask your hairstylist to chop feathered layers into your hair.

When blow drying, use a round brush to flick the ends towards the back, then just finish using hairspray.

Short Auburn Bob with Layers

Should you decide on a layered bob, be sure it’s styled to show off that dynamic cut. Look at the way these shorter layers were brushed back and set to create a nice version of feathered hair.

Medium Layered Hairstyle with Bangs

Todays stylists often agree that age shouldn’t imply restrictions on hairstyle choices.

Though as a rule, moderately voluminous short and medium hairstyles look much better than sleek ones for older women.

Here’s a layered style with soft highlights as a lovely example.

Blonde Feathered Bob with Height on the Crown

Feathered layers can be fun and flirty, especially when teased in the back for the crown to get a major lift.

Ask your stylist to create chin-length layers in the front that becomes shorter and shorter towards the back, then for her to add a few lengthy bangs.

Blow dry with a round brush to style it, then tease the back.

50+ Short Curly Salt and Pepper Bob

For women with thick hair, the key is to find a look that works with your texture, and not against it.

If your hair is tightly curled, it can hold its shape with ease, so a bob can be a good choice.

So brush short, curly hair when it’s wet, since dry brushing can create that overly fluffy finish you don’t want.

Medium White Blonde Feathered Hairstyle

Medium-to-short hairstyles can be transformed using strategically cut layers.

For women with fine, thin hair, feathery layers are a great way to gain extra volume and lift.

It’s popular among ladies over 60, because it maintains a youthful glow, plus it’s low maintenance.

Hairstyle with Feathery Layers and Nape Undercut

Hair that’s kept short and tidy can be a beneficial choice for women who are tired of the upkeep when having long hair.

So to maintain some volume, cut stacked and feathered layers then pair them with side bangs.

Blonde Cropped Hairstyle

The right cut will look amazing from all angles, even though you don’t see your style from the back all the time.

Long Choppy Bob with Bangs

Women over 60 usually take their hair short, since caring for very long locks is challenging and does not always look age-appropriate.

If you don’t want the length, an a-line lob can be perfect since the back will open up your neckline while face-framing layers will skim your shoulders up front.

Medium Layered Haircut

This cut’s discreet layers and subtle honey highlights looks amazing on fair complexions.

To achieve this seamless style, your longest locks have to graze the shoulders, and the top layers cut gradually shorter.

It’s a hairdo that’s easy to maintain, so complete this look with side-swept bangs on the front then style the tips with a round brush.

These are layers gently brushed back off the face to give it a nice bit of movement.

When choosing a style for women over 60, it’s important to go for one that won’t appear dated.

A super sleek and straight bob is modern and cool, especially when it is well-maintained.

Choppy Bronde Pixie

A classic pixie is one of the best styles for women over 60, especially for those who like the ease of maintenance this cut offers.

Neat Feathered Gray Pixie

A good pixie cut is a classic choice for women who desire change.

This style requires the least maintenance while being the ultimate “wake up and go” style.

Choose slightly longer strands on top and around the face, but also keep your hair super cropped towards the nape of your neck for that neat and clean shape.

Short Piece-y Crop

Sleek crops are elegant, but piece-y ones can be really chic too.

Just use some styling gel or mousse to enhance the texture and define the ends of those layers. That creates a very cool, edgy look.

Reverse-Ombre for Short Gray Hair

Traditional ombre styles will look dark at the roots first, then fade lighter towards the ends.

The benefit of the reverse is that fading from light to dark, while giving an overall brighter appearance, also adds great depth.

This color combo is a great option for those who do not want to go gray all over, since the dark contrast maintains a youthful edge.

Cute Razored Metallic Bronde Cut for Medium Hair

Lobs are bobs with some bonus length, so for ladies who aren’t ready to go super short, these are great as a transitional step.

If you have medium length hair, trim off a few inches, then ask for a razored finish so those ends don’t look chunky.

Thick bangs up front can add a playful, youthful touch to your overall look.
