Don’t like spending hours to get your hair right? No problem. We have curated these wash-and-wear haircuts that offer minimal effort, texture and movement and elegance and sophistication.
For women over 60 who want to tame their mane in seconds, these quick-to-perfection haircuts are stellar!
1) Soft Pixie
A soft pixie offers a chic solution to fine hair. How? It adds body to the flat locks, plus the slightly longer tresses mimic the look of a soft graduated bob. The haircut holds its shape perfectly till your next salon appointment.
2) Tapered Pixie
A subtle fullness at the front and a narrowed shape at the back make a tapered pixie need no extra styling. For someone who doesn’t frequent salons often, the haircut remains easy to maintain. Add a mousse for added lift.
3) Choppy Pixie
It can get challenging to add visible texture to fine or extra-fine locks. A choppy pixie serves as a great pick to add that required fullness. Refresh the look of this wash-and-go type with a leave-in hair paste.
4) Airy Feathered Pixie
A pixie cut takes off years from your face. Try it to believe it. Ask the hair expert to add airy feathers to your short mane to get that additional bounce. Boost the airy texture with a styling cream.
5) Textured Crop
A cropped bob or blunt cut looks effortlessly natural. Additionally, textures are formed with either sharp or subtle layers. For someone with an ‘it’ personality, this low-upkeep haircut will always be a stylish pick. Go for highlights to double up the glam quotient.
6) Short Shag
Like a carefree, lived-in look? Try a short shag. The choppy layers allow for introducing natural waves. And that fullness at the crown is what you need to rescue the flat locks. Create soft curls at the edges for unlocking the diva look.
7) Bixie Cut
Not too short and not too unmanageable, a bixie makes the ideal ‘wash-and-wear’ type that looks forever glamorous. Apply the texture-improving cream to double up the volume. Or keep it the natural way; either way it appears refined.
8) Layered Wedge Cut
Voluminous locks are a possibility with a layered wedge. The stacked layers create an in-built, soft volume that stays put the entire day. Investing in a hair styling tool with multiple features like ‘bounce’ will help achieve the subtle drama.
9) Feathered Bob
Feathered layers bring in the softness and lift any haircut needs. A bob with feathers will make your mane appear lighter and denser. A blow-dry or fingercombing is enough to look polished in minutes.
10) Layered French Bob
Effortless and stylish describes the French bob perfectly. Adding subtle layers to the cut will give a bounce to fine and medium textured locks. Either straight or wispy bangs are what you need to ace the ‘French chic’ style right!
11) Chin-Length Layered Bob
A layered bob reaching chin length means you get depth, volume, and silhouette. And adding face-enhancing layers will keep the mane looking polished. Trim it every 6-8 weeks to keep it flawless.
12) Graduated Bob
Fine hair can be refined better with a bob cut that naturally adds volume. Go for a graduated bob that frames your jawline with angled long tresses and styles the back locks with stacked layers. This structured haircut needs no additional upkeep.
13) Wispy Pixie Bob
Know this hair wisdom. Wispy layers soften your mature features. A pixie bob with wispy layers is a great choice for showcasing short locks that take away certain years off your face. Set it with finishing cream.
14) Toussled Bob
Yes, you can club carefree and fab together. Go ahead and flaunt a tousled bob to embrace the real texture of your locks with this short or mid-length bob. A texturizing spray will double up the movement to enhance the ‘messy hair don't care’ avatar.
15) Rounded Bob
For hair lacking fullness, a rounded bob offers a great rescue. Particularly after 60, when retaining the thickness is mostly a challenge (unless you are blessed with a thicker mane), the cut adds bounce to the flat tresses. Plus, post hairwash, the hair settles naturally.
16) Side-Parted Bob
Parting the locks to your chosen side (left or right) adds the illusion of a thicker mane. The side-parted bob with soft layers makes a great choice if you want to keep it polished with less effort. The cut looks great on round, oval, and heart shapes.
17) Blunt Bob With Soft Ends
A sleek look that makes a definite mention in the wash-and-wear cuts, a blunt bob is timeless and manageable. Ask the stylist to add soft ends to soften the look and remove the poker-straight vibe. Set it with a flat iron whenever required.
18) Curly Layered Bob
Curls can appear heavy, especially when not maintained. Introducing subtle layers to the locks, matching the curl pattern, will keep them airy and, of course, wash-and-go. Use a smoothing serum when tresses feel dry.
19) Modern Pageboy
The traditional version is timeless, but the modern type has a softer feel to it. With length reaching to the ears and ends curling inwards, a modern pageboy will forever be bold and dramatic. No need for daily blow-dry; it appears polished organically.
20) Collarbone Lob
Your mid-length hair deserves something more than a simple tie-up or updo with a claw-clip. Add life to it with a collarbone lob. It maintains the length, plus the soft layers take away the extra heaviness. Add a chic headband for a change.
21) Layered Gray Lob
Know this hair fact: grays look shinier with layers. Transform those dull silver locks with a layered gray bob for reflecting luster and movement. A purple shampoo is a good investment to upkeep the silver tones.
22) Shoulder-Length Layers Cut
Hair reaching till the shoulder means you have good enough long hair. Flair it up further with some soft or sharp layers. The benefits? It of course improves density. Plus, allows for styling choices. Sleek, soft curls, or natural waves- everything looks perfect.
23) Soft Wolf Cut
Getting a soft wolf cut means gaining visible volume at the crown and flaunting subtle layers to the mane. After 60, you may want to keep it understated yet chic. Pick this haircut to let the natural texture do its talking.
24) Soft Curly Layers
Curls are forever gorgeous. Perfect them further with some layers to add softness and bounce. Use a styling cream to keep the locks sleek and groomed. Or, sometimes having that raw-curly look is anyway stunning.
25) Layered Midi Cut
You like the medium length of your tresses and cutting it super short is not on your agenda. Just add some soft layers to it with a layered midi cut. Secure it with a ponytail, or let it be free and bouncy with a blow-dry.
