29 Short Shaggy Haircuts Women In Their 60s Can Totally Pull Off
The best short shaggy haircuts for women over 60 consist of wispy ends, various layers, and a lot of texture. This cut frames the face by softening any harsh lines and illuminating the cheeks. It offers a modish touch while adding a youthful-looking glow.
According to Erin Black, a hairstylist from Denver, CO, “A shag haircut needs styling to look good, but styling comes easily by using minimal hair products and tools,” she says. “It’s great for older women who want a bit of style and edge to their look without needing a lot of effort.”
A drawback that Black notices from this cut are the hefty amount of layers and texture it provides. “It could be an intimidating look at first,” she notes. “You’ll want to prepare for the big change if you haven’t worn a lot of layers and texture in the past.”
When getting this cut, Black suggests being wise with the hairstylist you choose. “This hair style requires a skilled cutter who understands their tools well,” she says.
Cutting shags or other short haircuts with a straight razor is a technique Black follows. “It carves pieces into the hair creating a great shape, tapered ends, and a seamless finish,” she says. The vital component of this cut is its ability to remove weight in all types of hair.

#1: Light Brown Shaggy Mullet
A shaggy mullet has become the new shag trend. Ask your stylist if a shaggy, wispy cut will work well for your hair texture. Typically, it’s not recommended for straight hair. If you have a natural wave to your hair this style is a great option. Your natural waves should support the style and shape for you, allowing you to air-dry with some texture cream and combing into place.
 
#2 Low-Maintenance Shaggy Bob
The low-maintenance layered bob for ladies over 60 gives lots of flicky texture, perfect for those looking to add extra width to their hair. It can instantly make you look 10 years younger. The shaggy feel to the hair doesn’t require a lot of styling. Scrunching the hair will enhance the disheveled feel, creating a thickening effect on the hair.

21 Flattering Short Haircut Ideas for Full Faces to Look Thinner
The ideal short hair for full-face shapes creates the appearance of length while helping offset the roundness of the face. The correct cut and style may frame the face with little attention to the shape’s symmetry.
Jessica Le, a hairstylist and salon owner in Scottsdale, AZ, is nice enough to discuss her golden tips for this trend.
💡 Key Things to Know First
- Do your research on stylists and find someone comfortable with short hair and has a portfolio working with ladies of familiar features.
- Choose a length and style of cut that will flatter only your best features and must be something you’re confident to wear.
- A more blunt cut allows for more elongation in the face and neck, giving a more slender appearance.
- Ask your stylist what the maintenance would be like.
Before you go to the salon, you should check these photos of the most promising cuts and styles on short hair for full face shapes.

26 Cutest Short Haircuts for Thick, Wavy Hair to Style More Easily
Short haircuts for thick, wavy hair range from pixies to bobs that create a voluminous look. The best part is you’ll spend less time styling your locks in the morning!
Stylist Audrey Wells of Santa Cruz, CA believes that short hair is for everyone. Find the right cut, and it’ll certainly complement any face shape.
Wells states, “Wearing short hair feels liberating, light, plus it looks sassy. The shorter the cut is, the more it’ll accentuate all your other facial features.”
A razor cut is ideal for women with thick hair. It removes a healthy amount of weight, allowing the hair to blend softer and not feel bulky.
Don’t forget to consult your stylist regarding the upkeep of your chosen cut. Wells explains, “Shorter hair requires more maintenance. It tends to lose its shape quicker as it grows out.”
A short pixie, for instance, needs a trim every 6-8 weeks.
It’s also essential to ask your hairdresser for some styling tips. Know the best products to use, depending on your hair type.
The only downside of having a short haircut is having a limited variety of styles. “You may not be able to pull your hair back anymore. So, bobby pins will become your best friend,” Wells points out.
Give your look a fresher edge. Check out these inspiring images of the trendy short haircuts for thick, wavy hair!

It can be quite a bit of work to style thick, heavy hair into a short cut that allows curls to flow freely. A graduated bob is a beautiful shape for thick hair and can be tailored to any texture.

#26: Short Textured Haircut with Jagged Ends
A short textured haircut with jagged ends can be styled wavy or smoothed out straight. Short haircuts for coarse, wavy hair need more weight taken from the ends to allow the hair to lay flatter. If you struggle with too much hair try this at your next appointment.

29 Slimming Short Hairstyles for Women Over 50 with Round Faces
Short hairstyles for women over 50 with round faces are about making unique cuts to flatter your face shape. They range from ear to jaw length. And like Renee Zellweger, Viola Davis, and Taraji P. Henson, you can rock these gems!
It’s best for older ladies with a fuller face shape to have short hair that offers versatility. Waves and layers are a great option to break up the roundness of the face.
When choosing a specific cut type, consider the advice of Cincinnati hairstylist Taylor Hanrahan. “I always move more towards a haircut with volume in the root and crown and movement and texture.” Taylor says, “It creates a chic and elongating effect.”
A “too heavy” chop is not advisable. “Having a haircut with no layers, texture, or movement can create a flat helmet effect,” says Taylor.
Before getting a chop, taking baby steps and exploring other styles is crucial. Go from a lob to a shorter chin-length cut down to your desired shorter length.
Questions to ask stylists are, “How easy will this be to maintain?” and “How will this change my morning routine?” Some short haircuts may be easy to pull off, while some also need a blowdry and other hot tools.
Regarding styling, Taylor loves a dry shampoo paste like the one from Eleven Australia.

#1: Light Brown Bob with a Swoop Bang
If you have a round face and you are a lady over 50, consider a light brown swoop bang bob hairstyle. Avoid letting your bob hairstyle fall at chin level, as it can make your face appear wider. A swoop bang is an easy way to give yourself a drastic change. Use a round brush to blow-dry the new look without your hair outwards and set it with a light-hold hairspray.

#5: Short, Heavily Layered Hairstyle
If searching for a hairstyle with an interesting shape and lots of movement, consider trying a short, heavily layered one. Ask your stylist to give you a haircut with a tapered nape and abundant layers. Using texture-cutting techniques can keep your hair light and wispy, extending the lifespan of your hairstyle. When dealing with round features, it’s important to maintain length around the face. Redken’s Big Blowout is the best product to use for definition, volume in your blow dry, and achieving a sassy finish.

#9: Short Hair with Lowlights and Wispy Ends

#10: Stylish Short Hair with Volume
Short hair with volume suits women in their 50s with round faces, particularly when additional volume is included. A layered, choppy cut can make the hair appear fuller and more textured. For this look, keeping some hair length is key to avoid the appearance of reduced volume. Invest in quality volumizing mousse. Apply it to wet hair and gently twirl it to boost natural curls and separation. Using a diffuser while drying helps keep the volume and enriches the texture. For added volume, gently lift the roots using a pick.

Use a light hairspray or texture spray to hold the pixie cut and sweeping fringe all day.

#13: Icy Silver Blonde Messy Pixie with Fringe
Ask for an icy silver blonde on a messy pixie with fringe. My advice for round face shapes is to add a style with crown layers and a textured fringe. This will elongate the face shape and accentuate the eyes. A longer fringe in the middle is a great way to piece out the texture in bangs. Ask about a cropped pixie cut for this cute style.
