But with a short pixie haircut, there’s no heavy length to weigh your locks down and add to the existing issue of thinning. It’s also perfect for older women dealing with thinning hair - and aren’t we all? If you’re over 60, you know the struggle is real, as the kids say. The short pixie is uniquely flattering on women with angular or fine facial features because of the feminine contrast it creates. Picture Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby or Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl - there’s just something so classically appealing about the super short cut. A Short Pixie Cut lev radin/Shutterstockįew hairdos are as timeless as a short pixie hairstyle. Its face-framing youthfulness balances the elegance of the short chop length, so it feels fun without too much maintenance required.Ī guaranteed crowd-pleaser, the stacked bob is a favorite in the “short haircuts for women over 60” category for a reason. I’m especially partial to this cut with bangs. To capture the dimension that makes this hairstyle so flattering, the longer front pieces should hover above your shoulders. If you’re rocking ringlets, keep your bob on the longer side. On a 60-year-old woman with naturally curly hair, though, (that’s me!) the stacked shape can get a bit lost, especially if the length is super short.
The stacked layers in the back give this look automatic volume and dimension, so it works well for women with a lot of different hair types: picture it sleek and sophisticated with straight hair or beachy and carefree on wavy hair. Either way, there’s an undercut for you! The Stacked Bob Haircut Emma Thompson taniavolobueva/ShutterstockĪlso known as a layered bob, the stacked bob cut utilizes a gradient in hair length - longer in the front, shorter in the back - but this classic cut plays it a little safer, staying firmly in bob territory. Keep the undercut subtle for casual elegance, or buzzcut the sides for a fresher look. The natural volume of your curls will counterbalance the short sides, and you can experiment with length, depending on how rocker-chic you want to get. One caveat, though, is that an undercut takes away a lot of volume and weight - so if you have thin hair, make sure your hairstylist makes subtle cuts (versus going full-on buzzcut like they might for women with curly hair or thick hair).Īnd speaking of curly and thick hair, the undercut is ideal for ringlet-gifted gals who want to try an edgier look - think Jada Pinkett-Smith circa 2010. It’s dignified, but with a kind of rocker vibe. I especially love this look on women with grey hair or white hair. If you have straight or fine hair, consider a classic undercut with spiky bangs or subtle layering to add dimension. The Undercut Liza Minnelli Sam Aronov/ShutterstockĪmong the most tried-and-true haircuts for us “older women” is the universally flattering undercut. They’ll be able to study your face shape, hair texture, and hair type and let you know exactly what short hairstyle will make you shine. That said, if you’re not open to my tips, you can always ask your hairdresser. Trust me - there are short hairstyles out there for you, and it will likely be a lot more low-maintenance than your current style. Or perhaps you have fine, thin hair, and you’re worried that cutting off your locks will make you look sparse up top. Maybe you have curly hair, and you’re afraid of the dreaded triangle hair. It’s all about finding the cut that makes you feel confident. Every woman can rock a short cut, no matter her hair type, facial features, face shape, or personal style.
Will a short hairstyle look good on me? What if I don’t like it? Will it be easy to fix? To start, let’s put the “will it look good on me” question to rest. Committing to a major chop will come with a lot of doubts.
