Aging gracefully does not mean losing style. Your 60s can be the ideal time to experiment with bold, modern, and flattering hairstyles that uplift your confidence and match your personality. Whether you're growing out of gray hair or suddenly considering a fresh new approach, there is plenty of fabulous styling tailored to mature women. Here are 27 hairstyles for women over 60 that will have you inspired and racing into the salon.
1. Wavy Lob
The timeless wavy lob (short for long bob) is the most easily manageable haircut. Its soft waves not only add body and volume but also are the perfect cover for mature hair, which may have thinned over the years. Cut just above the shoulders, the wavy lob beautifully frames the face and drapes into a youthful, careless style.
"A wavy lob is fantastic for women over 60 because it adds bounce and shape without looking too heavy," says Marie Collins, Senior Stylist at Luxe Hair Studio. "It’s modern, elegant, and works well with natural or colored hair."
2. Short Layered Haircut
For short layered haircuts, older women can look gorgeous. Layers bring volume and texture to your hair so that it appears fuller. Short layered cuts can soften face structures. Straight and slightly wavy textures are a good choice for this haircut.
3. Fluffy Twisted Bun with Bangs
The fluffy twisted bun plus soft bangs is a beautiful updo for special days or everyday chic. The lift at the crown creates a sophisticated touch while the twisted bun keeps it modern and fun. Add bangs to soften the lines of the face, creating something new and classy.
4. Asymmetrical Cut
An asymmetrical hairstyle caters to the woman who wishes to depart from conservative styling. The peculiar effect is achieved by leaving one side somewhat longer than the other to create a modern edgy look. This haircut is especially flattering when worn with hair either straight or slightly wavy and highlights the cheekbones and jaw.
5. Short Curly Layered Bob
Curls bring so much life and bounce to your look, and a short curly layered bob does just that. The combination of curls and layers gives the hair natural volume and movement, an excellent choice for women who want something low-maintenance yet stylish. It is also a good choice for accenting natural gray or silver strands.
6. Bouncy Layered Blowout
Every bouncy layered blowout concentrates on volume and glamour. The layers work to create lift and movement, while a salon blowout brings that perfect bounce and shine. This hairstyle is great for special occasions or whenever you want to look well-kept and poised. You can easily replicate this look at home with a round brush and some volumizing products.
7. Sleek Classic Bob with Side-Swept Bangs
The sleek classic bob is a haircut that never goes out of trend. Paired with side-swept bangs, the bangs soften the entire look while drawing attention to the eyes and cheekbones. The sharply drawn clean lines of a bob lend a glacially chic silhouette to an ensemble of various face shapes.
8. Razor Cut
A razor cut introduces a dose of feathered, edgy texture to the hair, which is perfect for those women who want to help themselves add some dimension and modernity to their style. This works best for short to medium-length hair and makes fine or thinning hair appear softer. The razor gives it an airy and undone finish with an effortless chic look.
9. Modern Buzz Cut
The modern buzz is just one of those wild and free decisions. It is as low-maintenance as a cut could ever be and tells much about one's confidence and strength. A minimalist buzz cut flatters one's features, offering women an empowering declaration of embracing their natural beauty devoid of fuss.
10. Shag Haircut with Fringes
The shag haircut with bangs is making a big comeback, and it's easy to see why. The choppy layers give natural volume and movement, while the fringes or bangs add softness and youthfulness. It works beautifully on wavy or somewhat textured hair, lending the right carefree rock-and-roll edge to your look.
11. Wavy Hair
Gentle waves impart a carefree feel and movement and provide good texture for women over 60 looking for something simple yet stylish. To maintain these waves, use either mousse or salt spray to create that perfect beachy vibe.
Marie Collins adds, "Soft waves add texture and movement. For older women, waves can make the hair look fuller and give a laid-back, effortless style."
12. Blended Hair in Blonde
Blonde blended hair, especially with shades like blonde and caramel, can brighten the complexion and add depth. This coloring method is for either short or long hairstyles-from lobs to pixies and hides grays so easily. Blended hues add warmth and dimension to the hair making it healthy and radiant.
13. Top Knot Bun
It is a practical and chic style that pulls the hair back from your face, giving you a fresh and clean look while also giving you a lift. It's a very versatile updo that you can be carried straightened for a formal kind of occasion or a bit tousled for a more casual day.
14. Curly Bob
This is ideal for bringing out natural curls while keeping the hair length fairly short. The less length on the hair helps keep it voluminous, preventing it from getting weighed down by the curls. This style shows off the natural texture while being as fun and lively as can be for both casual to elegant occasions.
15. Wavy Layers of Medium Length
Medium-length wavy layers are best for those women who want a little length but at the same time want to have some manageable styling. The layers create a natural movement that keeps the hair from looking flat or heavy. It's an all-around carrying cut that suits most face shapes, which you can wear dressed up or down to suit different occasions.
16. Straight Sleek Hair with Bangs
Straight sleek hair with bangs would look very polished and elegant. The bangs soften things, and the straight texture makes it a chic and sophisticated outfit. This style looks best when shiny, applying some shine serum or using a flat iron for that sleek look.
17. Platinum Blonde Pixie
The platinum blonde pixie is bold and modern; it's an exciting mix of vibrant color and bold cut. The pixie adds volume in the crown section while keeping the sides neat and tidy short, which makes it easy to maintain. Additionally, the platinum color increases contrast to skin tone beautifully giving that really radiant, youthful glow.
18. Side Swept Blunt Bob
This is a timeless side-swept blunt bob that cuts structure and simplicity. The way it is angled-swept to one side makes it less harsh and more approachable, while the blunt ends add modern edginess. This works whether you want it to look sleek or a bit tousled, depending on the occasion.
19. Soft One-Sided Chin Length Hair
Soft one-sided chin-length hair has an innate frame for the face and offers a romantic graceful quality. This is a flattering haircut for a mature woman who would like a style that is elegant yet not too difficult to manage.
"It’s subtly asymmetrical, adding interest without being too bold," says Tina Walters. "It’s perfect for mature women who want an easy-to-style and graceful haircut."
