5. Wedge Haircut for Women over 60. Wedge haircuts are a contemporary take on the traditional pixies and bobs. This example is longer than a classic pixie, a great combination of wedge and bob!
6. Medium Salt and Pepper Haircut. Medium hairstyles with long layers are very versatile. They can suit pretty much any hair type – curly hair, wavy hair, or straight strands. Straight hairstyles with layers never look limp or lifeless.
7. Gray Blending for Thin Hair. Apart from adding fullness to the front with the deep yet light bangs, this haircut melts sandy blonde into natural silver to create dimension in the thin strands and camouflage gray roots as they grow out.
8. Short Bob with Highlights. A super short bob is the perfect in between: a little bit longer than your traditional crop cut and shorter than your classic bob. This haircut is better suited to straight haired ladies.
9. Wavy Buttery Blonde Lob. These before and after pictures show how the face is instantly illuminated by the glossy blonde with a hint of warmth and the fine hair is volumized by the loose waves and swoopy front.
10. Shoulder-Length Haircut with Layers. What haircuts for 60 year old women do we usually see around the Internet? Boring one-tone pixies? Bobs that all look the same? No way! We choose to be different! The proper layering makes medium hair a pretty good alternative to shorter haircuts.
11. Airy Layers with Shiny Highlights. Layers do a great job of bringing movement into hairstyles for women over 60, and bright highlights placed atop gray coverage enhance the effect and fill the tresses with healthy shine.
