26 Popular Brunette Hair Colors Women In Their 60s Are Getting Right Now

#1: Sleek Brunette Lob with Subtle Layers

At first glance this haircut may appear to be simple, but there are so many details, especially if you know what you are looking for. There are good details that frame the haircut without creating too much bulk and this can be important for thinner hair. With the brunette tone, the warm color prevents the hair from appearing too flat, which also helps to keep the style looking polished instead of dull. If you have hair that tends to hang, then a lob like this with some internal layering also helps to create movement in the hair. It is important to keep the haircut maintained every 6 to 8 weeks. This is especially important for the layers because once they grow out the layers lose their purpose.

#2 Textured Short Brunette Curls with Soft Layers

I enjoy checking this out because it is effortless fun! The curls around the crown layer have a great natural bounce! All the lifting adds to the lightness. If you have finer hair and have been skeptical about going shorter due to concerns about there being enough volume to justify it, this is a consideration. A good curl defining cream is a must to avoid mid-afternoon fuzz, but it is worth it for the cut that has real personality.

#3 Chic Textured Bob with Soft Bangs

I enjoy the tousled bob with bangs on people with hair who are cool with letting their hair get messy in the mornings. This style has that slightly undone quality to it that looks effortless. Though, the texture is actually doing a lot of work for hair that is lacking in natural volume. The bangs soften the forehead, and the choppy ends create the illusion of more hair than there actually is. I would direct you to this version if you are contemplating bangs, but tend to back out.

#4 Modern Textured Pixie with Subtle Highlights

This pixie is the kind of haircut that makes you feel like a completely different person after leaving the salon. The highlights are positioned to create just enough contrast to bring attention to the cheekbones, which is the goal when styling short hair. The design overall is meant to be as low maintenance as possible, although keeping a bit of texturizing paste on hand for those days when it’s looking a bit too flat would be a good idea. Just warm a bit of it between your fingers, and then go for it.

#5 Soft Curly Brunette Bob with Face-Framing Layers

What I like most about this cut is how the curls at the jawline soften the look. The curl pattern is just right, and the cut isn’t overly styled. Face framing layers are key, because without those, a curly bob at this length can feel pretty boxy. Even the tiniest wave will be worked with, and you will be shocked at how little time you actually spend with a curling iron. The softness of this brunette color is even better with the movement in the hair.

#6 Soft Textured Brunette Pixie with Subtle Layers

Okay. This is one of those pixie cuts that does not scream, ‘I got a pixie cut.’ It gives the appearance of having long hair rather than short hair. The wispy bangs across the forehead really help to keep it more feminine and soft, rather than it looking really heavy. I have done different types of this cut on clients who are nervous about going short for the first time, and every single one of them came back for the same cut again. It is light and simple, and it really does grow out nicely. That is the real test to see if a short haircut is done well.

#7 Elegant Brunette Stacked Bob with Subtle Highlights

A stacked bob is a cut I tend to get rather frequently, and for good reason. They provide an incredible amount of volume and shape to the back of the hair. This one is jaw length, which is a length that is universally flattering to the majority of people. The color is so expertly blended that it appears to be natural. If you are concerned about thinning hair this is the type of cut that does something about it without making it the whole focus. The back has great stacking for fullness, and the front pieces are straight and smooth. It will require some maintenance, so I hope you like consistent trims to keep the hair in that shape.

#8 Classic Brunette Bob with Soft Angled Layers

I love an angled bob, and this one just touches the top of the shoulders, and has soft graduated layers. This looks like it hair knows where to go and where it should be directed towards. The brunette shade is a perfectly balanced hair color. It has some warmth to it, which is great if your skin has gotten a bit more fair over the years. A leave in conditioner can give your hair shine without weighing it down, and it is a classic for a reason.

#9 Soft Layered Brunette Cut with Fringed Bangs

I love how these bangs are done! They cover the forehead, split and go down to the cheekbone which diverts the attention from the forehead. The rest of the cut is shoulder length with layers that shift and flow with you. This adds to the overall feel of the cut. I would recommend this style to customers who want a change but don’t want to have to explain their hair cut to everyone at book club. It looks like good hair.

#10 Charming Textured Brunette Crop with Soft Volume

I’m a fan of this style because the volume sits at the crown and then tapers down, shaping the profile nicely. I almost never have to talk someone out of the rich brunette color because it goes with so many skin tones. If your hair is fine, this is one of the best cuts you can get because the short length makes everything look thicker and more substantial. It takes about ten minutes in the morning, and honestly most of that time is just waiting for your coffee.

#11 Textured Brunette Waves with Subtle Highlights

Although these waves look easy to achieve, it is more complicated than it seems! With blended highlights in the mid-lengths and ends, you get depth without having to worry about color at the roots, allowing time to go longer between color appointments. If you have any natural texture, especially waves, your stylist can ‘cut into’ the waves to let them do their thing. This is perfect for someone who wants an effortless look but doesn’t want to have a full hair routine every day.

#12 Chic Brunette Bob with Soft Fringe and Subtle Layers

The bangs look stunning and effortless which I love, The warm brunette color adds a glow and brightens up your face. The layers underneath are just enough to give movement so it doesn’t look stiff or helmet-y. I think the best part of the cut is how the bangs and layers are doing the same job from different angles; softening and framing all at once without going overboard. If you’ve got medium density hair and have stuck to one hairstyle for a while, a change is due, and this is a great option for you.

#13 Chic Brunette Lob with Subtle Highlights

Many might not spot the features that make this lob special, but the feathery ends really do pull everything together. That is the perfect sort of detail. I also like the highlights because they will grow out so softly and they will not leave a hard line. When I suggest colors to clients, that is something I really appreciate. Shoulder length is such a nice and practical cut because it is long enough to be tied back while still shorter than it gets overwhelming to fine hair. The rounded layers are the ideal addition to give it that lovely bounce. You’ll get so many compliments and people will ask if you just had a blowout. But you didn’t!n

#14 Softly Layered Brunette Cut with Gentle Waves

Looks like someone just woke up! The soft waves create volume and dimension without the bulk. Her somewhat blended highlights to their brunette hair look so much nicer and more natural than a one-color process. I have done this look with clients who were anxious about getting highlights because of the prospect of having stripy highlights. This is a wonderful and natural look that is even better as it grows out.

#15 Chic Curly Brunette Cut with Defined Layers

The stylist was sort of intentional with product use in the sense that the curls are not overly crunchy, and well defined. Each curl is cut so that they can spring up individually, creating even more spring and volume. This warm brunette color really complements her skin tone and will likely work across a really broad spectrum. I really hope that natural curly hair owners who have been wearing their hair straight look at this. The right cut and a good anti-frizz serum can really change your relationship with your natural hair.

#16 Textured Brunette Layers with Face-Framing Bangs

I love how bangs can do that soft curtain thing and float around the face, super flattering on practically everyone. The medium length layers with a little wave add movement without having to do anything, which is the dream! This seems like a great cut for someone who likes having some hair to work with but doesn’t want it to get in the way of their life. The depth of the brunette shade is intentional but not too dark so it isn’t too harsh against warm skin.

#17 Chic Textured Short Brunette Cut with Subtle Layers

Some haircuts always have an expensive look about them, and this is one of them. There are many subtle details here that create the illusion of more movement in the hair compared to hair that usually lays flat. I am particularly fond of how the face framing pieces sit. They are just the right length to stay out of the way, but long enough to provide a softer look. This style will require a good trimming routine to keep it looking fresh, but for most of covid I imagine it will be wash and go.

If you are managing a hair salon in Vancouver, this is one of the hairstyles that you would like to have in your portfolio, especially when clients ask for long layers during the consultation.

#18 Softly Curled Brunette Lob with Subtle Volume

I am most impressed by the glossiness of the brunette color. It truly is a stunning color. It shows good toner work and great maintenance between appointments, which speaks to a high level of luxe. The soft curls are adding volume exactly where you want it because around the face and through the mid-lengths, without looking scraggly at the ends. This is a really adaptable length too, with the ability to wear it straight one day and curled the next to create the look of two completely different hairstyles. If you like options, this is it.

#19 Chic Curly Brunette Bob with Subtle Highlights

The non-uniform bob is ideal for those wanting a more natural and effortless style! It’s also great to have some curls and waves to break up the bluntness of a bob. A lighter color around the face is also super smart as it brightens you up without needing a full head of color. It’s so great to have some length in the hair as it gives you the option to wear it half up and keep cool on warm days! If you have always been worried about getting a bob and thinning your hair too much then this option is great as the curls break up the harshness.

Confidence is key, and so is the haircut. The soft, textured,. layered framing of the face is very intentional, yet not overdone. The brown color is softly warm and reflective. The glossiness of the color also gives the hair a healthy look. I think the cut and color will work well with any hair type, as the adaptable layers will complement the hair’s natural tendencies.

I love bobs with soft layers hitting right at the jawline. When done right, it is perfect, and wow, does this look hit the mark. The layers are more subtle, and I feel like there are just enough of them to keep the look from being one dimensional. The highlights are so well blended into the brown, it looks like sun-kissed color. This length is amazing for flattering the neck and jaw area. It gives the face an inward pull look, and overall creates a really clean look. If your hair is fine, this look is basically for you.

#22 Chic Brunette Lob with Soft Face-Framing Layers

The face framing layers here are cut at just the right place to accentuate and not hide, and that’s a distinction many people miss. They fall around the cheekbones and create that natural movement that makes the whole style feel alive instead of just sitting there. If you have naturally wavy hair and have been battling that with a flat iron every morning, then a cut like this would actually let you work with your texture instead of against it. It’s the kind of lob that looks like you put effort into it when in reality you didn’t, which is what I want for pretty much all of my clients.

#23 Chic Textured Short Brunette Cut with Subtle Volume

The difference in colors really adds a nice touch and the side tapering is super intentional while the volume is just right. This is a super easy to maintain hairstyle and moves seamlessly from the salon to the everyday life. Achieving that finished look takes virtually no styling. The shade of brown in your hair is really even and that is so important with shorter styles as color that is uneven is much more readily noticeable. If you do not want to have to think about your hairstyle too much then this is a great option.

#24 Stylish Brunette Cut with Soft Face-Framing Layers

I love how this cut shows the movement created by the natural wave. I appreciate the softer, blended, face-framing layers so there are no obvious steps. This means you are less likely to hit that “my layers are showing” stage as it grows out. The highlights in the lengths are just enough to give the brunette some dimension and avoid an overall flat color, but they are subtle that you wouldn’t call this highlighted hair. It looks like hair that’s been in the sun, which is gorgeous. I find it refreshing that with cuts like this, less is more.

#25 Chic Textured Brunette Pixie with Soft Volume

Think about a pixie that gives lots of volume and texture at the crown. This would be very flattering for thick hair that can get boring when it’s long! The more modern look of having hair above the ears mixed with layered height around the crown gives a fun look and will get you out of your styling rut without looking like you’ve set it on a bunch of rollers and have curls everywhere. I really love that you found a cut that is playful and sophisticated without looking too serious. The upkeep on this cut is a people’s choice award winner , so I appreciate the confidence you have. You will spend less time styling your hair and that will make your frequent salon visits worth it! I have a feeling you really don’t love what you have now, otherwise, this cut wouldn’t be for you.

#26 Textured Brunette Bob with Soft Volume and Highlights

The bob with soft wave texture really completes the look! It takes no more than 5 minutes using a curling wand and a bit of a don’t care attitude to achieve this look. The lighter highlights are more dimensional in this case to ensure she doesn’t make a statement . With the length of hair this look is effortless, especially when the hair is still. I think what I like most about this bob is that there is enough going on to keep it interesting, but nothing so particular that you’d get bored of it. It’s a style you can live with for a long time, and that’s honestly the highest praise I can give.
