A fashionable short bob with bangs for women over 60 provides a contemporary flair along with a youthful glow. It’s a brief haircut that concludes at either the jawline or shoulder tip. It features a fringe that rests on the forehead, which can be either side-swept or centered.
Megan Longmore, a hairstylist from Kirkland, WA, addresses a common misconception regarding this style. “Most women over sixty mistakenly believe they can’t pull off a shorter look,” she explains. “Bobs are a flexible cut, so they can be tailored to enhance your facial features and align with your lifestyle.”
Short bobs with bangs are ideal for women with fine to medium hair types. Those in their sixties with curly or thick hair textures can also rock a bob, but styling and hair care are crucial.
When it comes to hair care, short bobs require regular maintenance. Bobs are precision cuts that necessitate frequent salon visits, particularly when incorporating bangs. Generally, they need to be trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks to keep their shape.
Another misunderstanding concerns the need for styling with bob cuts. “Many women in their 60s think it doesn’t need styling, but it definitely does,” Longmore notes. “It takes some styling time and a few products to ensure the cut still looks fresh after your salon visit,” she adds.
Longmore recommends using Kevin Murphy’s Anti Gravity Cream and Smooth Again Styling Treatment. The Anti Gravity Cream adds an extra layer of volume, while the Smooth Again Styling Treatment provides a sleek and polished finish to your hair.
