1) Short Swept Back Pixie

Short swept‑back pixies are low‑maintenance yet look very  dressed up, ideal for busy, social women.​ The shape adds volume at the crown, helping fine hair appear thicker and more structured.​ It pairs beautifully with statement earrings and necklines, so it works well for events and photos.

2) Feathered Pixie

Short, feathered sides keep the neck and jawline open, which is flattering for mature skin.​ The cut works beautifully with natural grey, turning it into a soft, shimmering frame for the face.​Plan trims every 5–7 weeks so the pixie keeps its rounded shape and the fringe doesn’t grow too heavy.

3) Natural Grey Wavy Hair

It works beautifully for clients who already have natural wave or curl, so the hair’s texture does most of the styling. The layered length can be adjusted to flatter different face shapes while preserving a dramatic feel. It’s low‑maintenance in terms of cutting schedule, since the shape remains forgiving as it grows.

4) Short Textured Pixie

The short length removes fragile, thinning ends, so the hair instantly appears fuller and healthier. Soft height at the crown subtly lifts the face and draws attention upward from the neck area.

5) Natural Curly Bob

This is an absolutely stunning medium-length curly bob that celebrates natural texture in all its glory. The cut falls somewhere between chin and shoulder length with layers throughout that allow those gorgeous curls to spring up and create beautiful volume and dimension.

6) Long Straight Silver

It is a simple shape that is easy to maintain yet looks elegant and intentional. The long, straight line can visually elongate the body and create a refined silhouette. It works beautifully on naturally straight or slightly wavy hair, requiring minimal cutting structure.

7) Blonde Bob with Bangs 

This is the kind of hairstyle that looks effortless but actually has a lot of strategic layering working behind the scenes. The shoulder-length cut is that perfect middle ground between short and long, giving you enough hair to feel feminine and versatile without the maintenance demands of very long hair. The bangs will need trimming every 3-4 weeks to keep them at the right length.

8) Grey Pixie

The hair is cropped close to the head, with tiny textured pieces giving it a soft, velvety look. The salt‑and‑pepper mix creates natural sparkle, almost like built‑in highlights. The top has gentle height, so the pixie feels lively instead of flat.

9) Shoulder‑Length Flip Bob

The flipped bob flatters many face shapes and gives instant movement. It offers volume and personality without needing a lot of styling time each day. Stylists love it because it showcases natural grey in a modern, playful, and low‑maintenance way.

10) Chin Length Layered Bob

The shorter length lifts weight off the hair, helping finer strands look thicker and livelier. Flicked layers around the jaw soften lines and keep the style from feeling severe. Smooth the crown with the brush or a flat iron on low heat if any sections puff up. Tuck one side behind the ear to show off earrings and keep the look open.

11) Voluminous Wavy Silver

Long layers keep the drama of length while removing weight, which is kind to finer, mature hair. The volume at the crown and around the face subtly lifts features and softens the jawline. Embracing natural silver makes the hair colour low‑stress while still looking intentional and chic.

12) Sleek Blunt Bob

The hair is cut in a clean, even line that curves gently under at the jaw and nape. It looks smooth and glossy, almost like a tailored helmet of hair in the chicest way. Book trims every 4–6 weeks; blunt bobs lose their sharpness quickly as they grow.

13) Classic Silver Bob

The classic bob is timeless and flatters most face shapes, especially with a slightly curved hem. It makes hair look denser by keeping ends blunt and tidy. Stylists love recommending the classic bob because it's a proven winner that has stood the test of time for good reason.

14) Short Wavy Pixie

Short sides remove weak, thinning ends so hair instantly appears fuller and stronger. Height at the front lifts the face visually, softening sagging or heaviness around the jaw and neck. Natural silver keeps maintenance low while looking fresh and intentional.

15) Short Spiky Pixie

Short spiky cuts create instant lift, which visually raises the face and highlights cheekbones.​ The cropped length makes thinning hair look fuller because there’s no weight pulling it down. Spiky pixies are extremely low‑maintenance while still delivering a very fashion‑forward look.​

16) Wavy Bob With Natural Silver Highlights

Waves and texture help disguise thinning by creating volume and fullness around the face. Natural grey is celebrated, turning it into a feature rather than something to hide. The softness around the neck and jaw flutters instead of clinging, which is flattering on mature skin.

17) Medium Length Silver Bob

The medium flipped bob flatters many face shapes and necklines with its gentle outward movement. It adds body and liveliness to fine, aging hair without needing heavy products. Stylists love it because it looks polished yet relaxed, perfect for women who want modern style with minimal fuss.

18) Layered Pixie‑Bob

The hair hugs the head in gentle layers, giving a tidy shape without feeling flat. Soft fullness at the crown makes the style look plush and flattering from every angle. Blow‑dry with a small round brush, lifting sections at the crown to build height.

19) Pompadour Pixie

The pompadour pixie gives maximum visual impact with minimal actual hair length. It works especially well on fine or thinning hair, since volume is built vertically. It pairs beautifully with bold fashion, statement jewellery, and strong personalities.

20) Textured Wavy Bob

The bright white‑silver shade lights up the face and contrasts beautifully with the lime sweater. Flip your head upside down and shake the roots gently for more volume once dry. Finish with a light texturising or sea‑salt spray so the waves stay piecey and playful.
