Check out these 17 hairstyle ideas for women over the age of 60:

1. The Classic Updo

Sometimes, all you need is the classic updo. Tie your hair up and tuck away the remaining strands to look elegant. To look more fashionable, use natural hair care products and some hair accessories.

2. The Asymmetrical Pixie

For busy ladies, the asymmetrical pixie is such a stylish and hip cut. Because pixie comes in different styles, make sure you let your stylist know what you really want to achieve.

3. The “Emmy Lou” Layers

Do you know Emmy Lou Harris? She is a fashion icon that everybody looks up to. She is known for her shaggy cut that reveals her true and inner beauty. Take inspiration from her cut. Don’t worry. It’s hassle-free and achievable. It’s an ideal style if you want to let your hair grow.

4. Bangs with Inner Layers

This style is simply beautiful. It is best for women who wish to show their hair, but are hesitant because their strands are too thin. Thanks to the added layers, an illusion of more volume is created. The bangs also help frame the face.

5. Candid Razor Bob

For a framed face with eyes that set off, the candid razor bob is the way to go. It’s only a bonus is you have longer hair because you can further style it into a unique updo.
