Popular bob haircuts for women over 60 range from ear-length to neck-length crops. It’s a classic, low-maintenance trend that grants a youthful-looking style.
As we age, hormonal changes can cause our hair to grow thinner. Hairstylist Briana Dunning from Beverly Hills, California, suggests getting a bob cut. “For women over 60, this simple cut makes your hair appear much thicker than it is!”
Dunning shares some tips before getting this cut. “Discuss your styling routine, natural hair texture, and face shape with your stylist. You’ll determine the length of the cut depending on these things,” she explains.
Dunning points out that layers can make or break the cut. Opting for subtle layers creates a seamless addition of texture and movement. On the flip side, creating too many layers takes away the shape of the cut.
Styling bob cuts come quickly and easily. Use a flat iron or curling wand to magnify the styling options for this short haircut. With hair maintenance, expect to get your hair trimmed every 1-2 months.
