For the past week, I’ve had this one thought and it won’t leave me. I’ve been looking at women in their 70s and 80s with photos of different hairstyles. Some of the cuts are rather bold and extreme. I believe this is similar to how I think women feel when they see the Rock. I want to let women know how they can express themselves. Please don’t see thinner and more delicate hair as a reason to hold back. What is more inspiring than a woman who is fully in bold and edgy styles? In my own experience, I find that women tend to be more expressive when I assume their options less.
One client from last year stands out in particular. I was amazed at how post 70s this woman looked after a boring traditional bob that she had had for decades because someone had told her it suited her. But she was free when we layered her into a brave and bold textured copper pixie. She cried. And of course, the best type of cry. She said she hadn’t felt like getting dressed in the morning for years because of her edgy pixie. That is the type of power your hair needs an edgy cut and bold. It doesn’t fight with where your hair is but dances with it. The perfect edgy cut works with what your style is and the characteristics of your hair and turns it up to 11, making something feel like you.
Edgy hairstyles are for you, regardless of what your hair looks like!
#1: Soft Textured Crop with the Prettiest Little Bangs
I love how this looks and how it works with what most people would see as too little hair to style. The soft bangs are a bit more approachable. The layering on top does all the work to create the volume. Those gray tones? Gorgeous, and nothing is fighting, covering, or concealing them. Honestly, one of my favorite things about this is how little effort it takes in the morning. It just needs a trim every few weeks to keep bangs from getting in your eyes and to keep the shape from getting too shaggy.
#2 Icy Platinum Pixie with Spiky Point-Cut Texture
Wow, just look at the icy platinum pixie cut, it’s giving major main character energy. The point cut spikes keeps the style light and lifted, and I love the mini fringe. I’m not going to lie, if you’re going for a white-out color, you’ll need to be on a first-name basis with your toner. Plus, a good matte paste and root lift mousse are going to be a requirement if you want to keep up with that texture. The maintenance to achieve this look might seem heavy, but it’s definitely worth the effort. To add to that, the cowlick at the crown is a great detail as it gives a natural lift just where it’s needed.
#3 Warm Chestnut Pixie-Bob with a Stacked Back
I absolutely adore a great pixie-bob, and to top it off, she is a rich chestnut color. With a stacked tapered nape, it gives a clean shape in the back, and the point-cut inner layers do the sneaky voluming up top. The soft fringe is PRETTY, you know? Like pretty, pretty in a way that is really cool. I will say, though, that if you have low density hair the fringe may go rogue and will need some smoothing in the morning, but we are talking maybe two minutes with a round brush and you are good to go.
#4 Pastel Rose Asymmetric Pixie-Bob with That Long Swoopy Fringe
Let’s appreciate this color for a second. The pastel rose with a subtle root melt is something special! It gives so much dimension to hair that can otherwise feel flat and fine. The asymmetry gives the cut some personality and the long side swept fringe adds some drama while the graduated crown layers add the volume fine hair always craves. Now, this is the real talk moment… the color takes a lot of commitment to achieve. We’re talking pre-lightening, toning, bond-repairing treatments, and all of that. Plus the fringe will need a bit of heat styling to achieve the perfect swoop. But this is the look for those who really want to make a statement!
#5 Piecey Copper Lob with All That Crown Lift
We love the copper color! It looks gorgeous and blends the grays like they were meant to be there. It looks very rich! And can we talk about that lifted crown? That’s a cowlick and instead of fighting it the layers just roll with it and create volume. It’s so smart! The ends are piecey which makes it look effortlessly cool instead of done and stiff. It will need a boost with root-lift spray most mornings, and copper requires refreshing more than some shades, but the warmth and movement is worth it.
#6 Bright Copper Choppy Crop with That Fun Little Fringe
The combination of fine hair, bold color choices, and short crops is nothing short of inspiring. When it comes to fine hair, the choppy micro layers give just the right amount of texture and no additional bulk. The edgy touch of the piece-y fringe that crosses the forehead is absolutely perfect, and not overdone at all. I think the copper tone really brings a nice modern touch to the overall look, and I’m not a huge fan of the vivid copper color. It tends to fade quickly if you don’t keep up with your salon visits, and you’ll definitely want to use a good amount of texture spray to hold everything in place. But, I will say that it can pretty much air-dry and still look great. That’s a big win!
#7 Pink Spiky Pixie with That Tiny Blunt Fringe
The micro-fringe here is pure joy, opening up the whole face and bringing the eyes to the foreground. The razor texture at the top gives spiky little pieces that move and have life, while the tapered nape keeps everything looking clean and modern. Now, the pink. Let’s discuss pink. You are looking at full pre-lightening to about a level 9 or 10 before we can even get that pastel to take, so it’s definitely not a casual commitment for fragile hair. But those natural white pieces that peek through at the temples? They make regrowth look intentional, which softens the whole maintenance situation. Finish it with some matte paste, and you’re all set. Well, pink. You’re pink.
#8 Peachy Pixie-Bob with Wispy Little Micro-Bangs
Micro bangs are a great choice for an edgy look and I especially love how it works for women in their 70s. Why not? It’s fun! Stacked point-cut layers at the crown create the volume, then the longer side pieces that skim the face keep everything soft and flattering. The pastel peach color is stunning! I’ll be honest though, the pre-lightening process will increase porosity so the color will fade quickly and the hair will dry out if there’s no bond builder used during the services. Don’t forget to ask your stylist about a root shadow as it will prolong your in-between appointments and your hair (and wallet!) will appreciate it.
#9 Soft Rose Feathered Mullet with the Best Layers
YES, mullet! Before you make a face, take a look at how nice it is! Feathered layers around the jaw create softness, and the loose fringe keeps the mullet from looking too harsh. Overall, it gives a great ‘I don’t care’ vibe, which I love. The pastel rose toner over the silver roots is beautful. The grey and pink look like they are having a conversation. Also, having fine hair works great here too because the diagonal feathering keeps everything much lighter and not weighed down. My only worry is how quickly the pastel will dye due to the lightened hair. You will need to style it with low heat and touch it up a bit, and that will be my undoing. Just look at it!
#10 Indigo-Silver Pixie with the Coolest Micro-Bangs
There’s so much going on with the silver-to-indigo root smudge and it’s so cool! You’re achieving so much depth and dimension without having to lighten anything, which is huge for fine and delicate hair! The feathered micro bangs and point cut layered crowns really make everything feel so textured and so lifted. And those little pieces that graze the temples really soften the face? Honestly, you could air dry this and throw some matte paste in and it would look so good! The blue will fade faster than a natural tone but just be cautious of overcutting the sides when the density is low. But that colour payoff? Gorgeous!
#11 Vibrant Copper Feathered Pixie That Practically Styles Itself
The right warm tone can completely change your skin’s appearance, and this vibrant copper is a perfect example. It BRIGHTENS everything. With the micro-layers at the top, you get that lifted effect, and the point-cut ends give you soft little flicks at the perimeter while the tapered nape keeps the whole silhouette nice and clean. This gives the appearance of a crown cowlick, which creates a nice natural lift, and while that is great, it can be frustrating if that cowlick goes the wrong way. But, a little bit of targeted blow-drying or a light root lift control product keeps it under control. To keep the color this bright, you can do a deposit-only glaze, and once you master the technique, the cut is pretty low maintenance.
#12 Pastel Lavender Shag with the Tiniest Bangs
I want to dye everyone in my chair this lavender shags chin-length shag is all the rage at the moment! The soft-razor layers paired with the frozen wisp micro bangs create the most unreal lived-in texture like you just rolled out of bed which is the target audience! The shadow root is working overtime here, faking scalp density and making grow-outs look intentional. I love that texture and face-framing movement. The only drawback is pre-lightening which raises porosity. So the bond-builder along with a gentle violet shampoo are non-negotiable for keeping the lavender fresh!
#13 Cranberry Pixie with Feathered Layers and Wispy Fringe
The cranberry hue adds warmth to her face in an understated way, which I appreciate. The back of the haircut has some nice soft layers, and the bangs are wispy enough to give a nice touch to the overall look of the hair. Demi-permanent formulas are preferred for this shade as they fade in a more natural way without going funky. In the morning, you will need some mousse or a round-brush root-lift for maximum volume with this haircut, but aside from that, it is a super quick and easy style, nothing too extreme.
#14 Feathered Crop with Peekaboo Lowlights and That Gorgeous Fringe
The work done on this haircut definitely has the most effort put into it, and it honestly makes the most sense. The short micro layers at the ends will help create a very fine choppy texture, which should add a lot of boost to the airy quality of the crown for sure. The connective pieces in the fringe that sit on the forehead look good and will provide nice soft movement and volume once the heat is added, and the peek-a-boo shadowing at the roots will give some nice depth and help blend any grays without a full commitment color. This cut should not have a heavy-thick layering. It’s the kind of cut that I’d give my mom because of the amount of heat, softness and volume it has. Just keep it surprisingly light on the root layers because thinning could happen quickly.
#15 Textured Short Shag with the Best Feathered Fringe
What I appreciate about a good short shag is that it always seems effortless. I know this is a super technical cut, but it has that easy vibe. This one has short stacked crown layers that build volume exactly where fine hair tends to fall. The point cutting and razor texturing keeps everything movable and interesting and looks great. There’s a natural crown cowlick working overtime in this photo and I’m HERE for it because it adds extra volume for free. A demi-permanent gloss would be the perfect touch to blend the brown and silver strands and add some shine. This style does require a bit of work to achieve that disheveled look. Just enough to set the direction and go would be magic.
#16 Tousled Auburn Pixie with Natural Silver Temple Wisps
I want to take a moment to say that the natural silver on the temples is giving the cut a beautiful depth and dimension without any color work, which is stunning! The other side of the cut is a super short crown-focused pixie with a feathered micro-fringe, and she’s got some razoring throughout the cut that gives it some beautiful broken texture and movement. For fine, thin hair, the crown graduated lift really gives the illusion of thickness, and that’s what all that clever layering is meant to achieve! It is correct that warm auburn will always fade faster than the cooler shades because of the red pigment in the dye, and it is also correct that fine strands fare best with less heat styling. But I think we can all agree that the overall effect is so airy and pretty and MODERN that I can completely understand the aspiration for this!
#17 Razor-Textured Copper Pixie with the Sweetest Micro-Fringe
This haircut showcases a lot of skill. The razor work paired with diagonal point cutting adds so much texture that fine, low density hair looks like there is almost double the amount of hair present. The micro-fringe style creates an exceptionally soft look at the hairline. The longer pieces at the temples also help to soften the overall look of the hair so it’s not too harsh. While the copper color is stunning, let’s be real, it does need a specific anti-brass color to keep it from getting brassy, and with regrowth it’s going to be very noticeable with short hair. This model has a small crown at the back, and at least one of the stylists was smart enough to work with it for natural lift. Working with the crown instead of against it is a sign of real stylist skill.
#18 Salt-and-Teal Pixie That’s Giving Art Project in the Best Way
I appreciate when someone embraces their natural silver and adds a touch of color, and the pastel teal here is brilliant! The feathered side-swept micro-fringe with a razor-textured crown adds height and movement, and the light teal streaks combined with the silver base just radiate playfulness! The diagonal point cutting combined with light paste separation is a technical masterpiece. To be honest, pastel glazes really do fade—especially on silver hair, and really quickly. At this length, it’s best your stylist doesn’t take the sides too short, or you run the risk of seeing more scalp than is ideal. But as a statement? This is gorgeous!
#19 Short Copper Pixie with That Perfect Little Micro-Bang
This haircut aimed to hit every single mark. It is going to be phenomenal in photographs, and it translates to reality way more than you would expect. With layered texture at the crown coupled with micro bangs, and and ember-burnt copper tones, this is a gorgeous style. My favorite aspect is by the temples. The addition of silver provides a depth to the red that can only be achieved with balayage, and is absolutely beyond foils. The combination of point cutting with fine razor tapering adds to the overall movement and makes each strand feel super light. With the way red fades, we are going to have to do semi-permanent glaze touch-ups, and of course, this will be expected with red. Considering how the color will pair with your skin tone, this is more than worth it.
#20 Copper Layered Bob with Crown Lift and an Outward Flip
The stylist has made the cowlick situation at the crown a positive one by using it to give this great height that adds to the whole shape of the cut. The short internal layers and side-swept feathered fringe give fine hair greater body and movement. The flicked ends are a fun detail that stop the finish looking too polished or too ‘done’. For me, the copper root-smudge plus gloss technique works really well for colour upkeep as it balances richness without that stark line of demarcation. The crown area and that flick do need some daily blow-drying however, so they can sometimes be a bit high maintenance. But for a chin bob on a fine haired client in their 70s this is a lot of impact.
#21 Blush-Toned Pixie with Feathered Layers and Playful Color
I really enjoy the blush tone on this pixie because it is warm enough to give some color to the skin and not look like you are trying to be 25 again. It is sophisticated yet still playful, which is a hard combo to get. The feathered micro layers and the lifted crown give the illusion of thickness where the fine hairs tend to fall more flat, and the soft fringe really keeps things feminine. Now, I am being honest with you when I say that this color is going to take some bleaching of the hair, which on fragile hair is a serious thing to consider. Pastel color tends to fade quickly and the porosity increases, thus, be sure to get a bond builder and light root lifts to maintain the look. But if your hair is in a good state and your colorist knows what they are doing then it will be stunning.
#22 Plum Pixie with Wispy Fringe and Sneaky Volume
The dark plum color is wonderful! I think the berry shades get underestimated by women in their 70s because they think it might be too bold. But look at it, it’s classy! The 45-degree angled layers with pointed ends give external volume from the internal, and the razor texturizing gives that light airy feel that makes all the difference with sparse hair. The subtle root smudge and the soft cowlick that the stylist placed for volume shows the great haircutting. The color plus maintenance and daily styling trade-off for the defined piece-y look is a polished, modern look and I love it!
#23 Warm Copper Stacked Bob with a Wispy Curtain Fringe
Bob cuts work really well with fine hair! The stacked graduation at the back will give your hair volume and you won’t have to do any styling. The demi-permanent copper color on this cut is great! The warm tones reflect light, making the hair look thicker and healthier. The layered interior and wispy curtain fringe bring the whole look together and give softness to the hair.
One thing to keep in mind is that red tones fade very quickly, and short hair can draw the eye to the neck if that’s a concern. I love the diagonal internal layers that seamlessly work with a small crown cowlick because those are the little things that makes a cut good.
#24 Pearl-Lavender Graduated Bob with the Softest Side Fringe
This pearl and lavender melt is simply stunning! It is so pretty how it reflects the light! Fine hair looks to glimmer. This graduated bob paired with the soft side-swept micro-fringe is so flattering for this oval shape. It is so good how the internal graduation gives so much height at the crown, and the cheekbone pieces frames the face beautifully when they’re widened. That being said, I won’t pretend it is easy to maintain this color. Pastel shades on porous hair will quickly lose their vibrancy. Fine hair will need lots of volumizing at the roots paired with some heat to hold the shape. You’ll want to look in every mirror when this style is fresh!
#25 Piecey Pixie with a Wispy Micro-Fringe and All the Attitude
Not only does the crop look gorgeous, but there are also tons of intricate details that make it look amazing. It has a texture and layering around the crown that creates lift precisely where the fine hair falls. The tapered neck also looks so clean and refined. And the micro-fringe? It’s absolute perfection! To get the separated look with some hair styling paste or powder will be necessary, and to hold the pieces in place. The thin temple mic bangs will show some contrasting grey roots pretty quickly. One interesting detail about this one is there is a small crown cowlick in the back which helps with vertical lift so you won’t need too much to get the lift. Those short layers will sit right on it and that is exactly what you want!
#26 Platinum Pixie with Micro-Bangs and Crown Height for Days
I really like how this platinum pixie looks! The cropped sides, tapered nape, micro-bangs, and radial layering from the crown, really create a nice clean graphic silhouette. I love how the natural cowlick adds volume! The scissor-over-comb graduation and light point-cutting keep the hair soft and edgy. The ash-platinum toner is really pretty, though it is a commitment since it may go brassy over time. It is also something to think about if the density is low, since the really short sides will show scalp at the part. But for fine straight hair with an oval face, and wanting a strikingly modern look, this is perfect.
#27 Textured Pixie with Soft Layers and Quiet Edge
I’d call this style “sneaky edgy” because on the surface it looks like a cute little pixie, but with the intentional layering and texturing, there is a little edge to it, which I really like. It’s length is just above the ears, and the layering is meant to create some height at the crown while leaving the sides and ends soft and face-framing. It’s the kind of cut that looks great on the way to brunch as well as on the way to a concert am I right? This type of layering is just amazing for fine hair because it gives so much dimension and movement without removing too much weight and overdoing it. It will definitely grow out into a more boxy shape, so you’ll need to book trims fairly close together to keep the shape, but the less you have to style it everyday is a huge win!
#28 Chic Textured Pixie with Layers That Do the Work for You
When it comes to layers, self-styling is a big plus as it gives the illusion of fine hair! You want an easy styling routine as you won’t want to have to put in too much work on a haircut like this! Those little layers at the crown are helping! They give so much more lift and thickness! Also, I love how modern those length layers are as they frame the face so beautifully! Just a bit of texture spray will hold the shape and definition all day, and I love that! This style gives off the impression of a lot of work, which I think is great! It’s so bright and fun, and I feel like it would suit so many people.
#29 Soft Layered Bob That Makes Fine Hair Look FULL
You may think this bob cut is basic; however, there are actually many more details than you might think. For example, the soft layering in the crown creates volume that can make fine/thinning hair look significantly thicker. The longer front pieces also add a face surrounding feature which is especially good for heart shaped faces. The light gray is a modern and cool color, and I really like how she has fully embraced it. The extra layers will add a few more minutes of styling to maintain the shape, but the layering will add fullness to the hair, and this cut is almost a wash-and-go type of hair cut.
#30 Textured Crop with Those Gorgeous Soft Waves
Hair styles that have nice short waves seem to create a lot of volume, and I like that. Waves seem to soften the entire look of someone’s face which is a very nice effect. With short layers, the cut creates some additional height, and with the longer sides, it creates a wonderful tousled look which I really like on women over 70. To be honest, some waves do require a little work, but some light mousse or soft sea salt spray works wonders. For fine hair, the ease of movement created by the waves is definitely worth every minute spent on styling.
#31 Spiked Silver Pixie That Means Business
If you are completely confident in your silver look, THIS is the hairstyle for you. The layered texture and shorter length provide volume that fine hair craves. The spiky texture is a fun, slightly rebellious aesthetic that I think is great for people who don’t want to blend in. It really highlights your facial features, and if you have awesome cheekbones, even better! The only thing I will say is that some morning styling will be required to maintain the spikes, but it should take you five minutes, tops. Trust me, you will look awesome when you leave the house.
#32 Rounded Bob with Beautiful Light Layers
This bob has a classic shape, and the layering adds movement without sacrificing fullness, which is the ideal combination when working with finer density hair. The rounded shape of this bob will also soften more angular features, and the lowlights give just the right amount of dimension and contrast. Such a nice cut. I think the most impressive thing is how versatile the cut is. It can be dressed up to be very polished for a night out or dressed down to be more casual for a Saturday morning brunch – it just depends on the styling. You will need to do a bit of maintenance with regular trims to keep those layers bouncy and some styling to keep the look fresh, but the result is a chic look that is worth the time and effort.
#33 Softly Textured Short Cut with the Easiest Styling Routine
I value haircuts that help you save time, and this softly textured short cut really does! The subtle layers in the thinning hair create both volume and movement without needing to be styled in the morning. This soft look is finished for easy styling and maintenance. The crown lift gives it a great shape without having to use and set rollers which is super annoying. The lighter color brightens and brings out all of the texture. If you have fine hair you will need the color to be touched up at the roots a lot! But the cut itself is super low effort and high reward! My favorite combination!
#34 Layered Pixie with Playful Textured Waves
I adore how this pixie gives such a light and airy feeling with all the soft layers. The waves are textured which keeps it looking playful and stops it from being too serious or “done”. It looks and feels absolutely gorgeous because it moves really nicely with your hair and makes fine strands look fuller. I also adore how versatile the styling is because it can be as polished or as undone as you would like. Considering how good it looks, I think the maintenance of the cut because of regular salon visits is a fair trade. A muted soft color would look absolutely stunning and enhance the dimension!
#35 Textured Short Cut with Soft Tousled Volume
When she got this cut, people might think she ran her fingers through her hair and it fell perfectly, but that’s an illusion that good layering will create. The layers allow for movement and depth that give the appearance of having more hair, and the soft, tousled texture will make any natural waves look even better. The hair falls around her face, which is great because it adds volume where it’s needed for round and oval face shapes. Very fine hair might need a bit of product to hold it, but honestly a tiny bit of light hold cream is probably all you need to hold that shape, just warm it in your palms and scrunch it through.
#36 Textured Layered Cut with Warm Natural Highlights
This haircut is straight forward about what it is. The haircut is done really well and layered, and it works with your natural texture. The soft layers create movement and with just the slightest wave in the hair, it really finishes the look. It adds volume to your hair, something that fine hair really doesn’t always get to enjoy. With natural highlights, you get warmth and dimension without looking like you spent hours at the salon, which is the look I believe most women want. This cut definitely is looser and will not give you that sleek look. But if you prefer easy and lived in then you will love this, it is stunning and looks effortless.
#37 Silver Bob with Feathered Crown That Creates Height
I love how the crown has been delicately feathered as it accentuates the ‘height’ and ‘fullness’ of the style which can sometimes fall flat on fine hair. From the front, it looks like it has been styled to create extra volume. The chin length of the fine soft texture frames the face beautifully. The layers around the face are just enough to keep the style looking interesting without being too difficult to style. On silver hair, the layered and light catching texture looks amazing as it adds so much dimension. It can take a bit of styling to keep the layers looking defined and not limp, but the final polished look makes it very worth it.
#38 Textured Pixie with Lifting Layers and Feathery Feel
A sign of smart hairstyling is that this cut offers the layers a DOUBLE purpose: it creates lift and volume, while also hiding areas where the hair is thinner. The short length enhances your hair’s natural texture, and the soft, feathery layers add movement and life to fine hair. If you want added body, just scrunch a bit of mousse at the roots. While you will need regular trims to nurse the style, daily upkeep is made easier and is a very stylish look for someone wanting a change without a huge commitment.
#39 Silver Pixie with Soft Layers and Natural Root Lift
The little root lift on this cut really makes a difference. It takes what would be straight, fine silver hair, and gives it body and dimension in an effortless way. The soft layers around the face, and the finished texture of the cut, encourage styling, so no daily struggle. I value a cut that goes with the natural growth pattern, and that’s what separates I-just-left-the-salon from ‘this is just how my hair is.’ The second one is always the goal. Shorter cuts tend to require more maintenance than longer hair, and if you are good with regular visits, this length looks really clean and modern. It’s youthful without trying too hard, and that’s nice.
#40 Choppy Pixie with Subtle Highlights and Beautiful Movement
This cut looks lovely with the layers giving movement which I love. It adds volume in a natural way to thin hair. The length above the ear is flattering and the highlights are subtle so they don’t overpower the style but do add dimension. This works for square and oval faces as those with a stronger jaw benefit from the texture. I know I have to get regular trims to keep the shape looking intentional but the cut is really forgiving for those maintenance gaps which I really appreciate.
#41 Soft Layered Bob with Warm Highlights and Pretty Movement
This bob is well achieved, they soften the features and produce a gentle moving effect that takes years off, without looking obvious. The warm highlights make fine hair look fuller, and the added dimension of the tousled texture gives a modern edge that keeps it out of the “mom hair” (no mom disrespect, I’m one!) zone. For round faces, I like how the lengthening effect from the layers is really nice. It will take more layering to balance everything out, but the upkeep is worth it.
#42 Silver Textured Crop with a Pop of Lavender
I especially like the combination of natural silver with an unexpected touch of lavender. It gives the wearer an opportunity to stand out without being too much. The edgy layers add even more volume and movement to the style. The short length is ideal for those with thick hair because it keeps everything looking full instead of dragging everything down. The texture creates an illusion of more density, which is especially good for those with finer hair. This hairstyle definitely achieves an updated look with some personality. Keeping the shape will probably require some styling gel, and regular maintenance at the salon will be necessary for the lavender color, but for a clean modern look, I appreciate this one a lot.
#43 Curly Bob with Face-Framing Layers and Natural Texture
This type of haircut is great for natural waves since the soft layers create movement and dimension. Having the length touch the shoulders makes the hair appear fuller and is often needed for fine hair. With the natural texture you’ll get a permanent volume boost, and the curls will give even more body. Face-framing layers work with almost all face shapes, and I appreciate that because I really dislike when a haircut is beautiful but only seems to complement a certain shape. That said, curls do need some upkeep to keep them looking bouncy, so I would recommend a good curl cream and maybe a diffuser. Other than that, the overall look is chic and modern, and I especially love it on women over 70.
#44 Silver Pixie with Texture and Effortless Volume
Pixie hairstyles often have that unique quality of light being refracted off the face framing layers and elongated pixie shortening the framing layers is so light and polished and effortless in providing the framing of the face as well as enhancing the natural texture of the hair creating a softened modern and versatile silhouette which is so beautiful with salt and pepper hair as the natural contrast is stunning. Shorter hair does require more maintenance and styling to maintain the shape but it’s awesome how many women seem to love the time saved in their hair routine.
#45 Playful Textured Bob with Waves and Subtle Layering
The gentle waves on this bob create such volume and movement that make it look like thinning hair isn’t a problem, plus the length just above the shoulders is one of those universally flattering spots that works on so many different face shapes. The face framing layers are the kind of details that are easy to overlook, but they are the reason the whole cut is so flattering. They provide enhancement and create a frame while kept subtle. Maintaining the texture will take some styling, but it shouldn’t be too hard. If you want something that looks polished but still effortless, this look is a fantastic choice.
#46 Textured Pixie with Lifting Layers and a Bright Attitude
I love how the layers give an overall happy effect. The light shoots off the layers and cheerful color and gives even more light and dimension to a short haircut. If you’re trying to avoid the classic look of thinning your hair, this cut gives an almost illusion of thickness because all the volume comes from the cut, not from any styling products or heat. The weightless feel of this style is ideal for anyone who wants to look elegant without having to do a ton of styling. Even though the look is effortless, you may want to use a light hold styling product to keep everything in place. Overall, this look takes a lot of confidence and I love everything about it.
#47 Shoulder-Length Cut with Waves, Layers, and Easy Movement
I love seeing the soft waves and face framing layers of customers’ hair. This type of cut tends to make hair look fuller because the movement created by the added layers will bring dimension to the cut. Having shoulder length hair gives customers enough length to play with, but also makes sure they aren’t getting too much hair to weigh them down. Waving the hair will make the soft texture show up a lot more. It will also maintain a healthy look, which is preferable. It makes it easier to conceal the effort that is put in because a bit of product will be needed to achieve that ‘just happened’ look. The subtle layers on oval and round faces balance very well and complete the look beautifully.
#48 Spiky Crop with Texture and Fun Volume
I think spiky crops are super cool! They give off a very youthful and rebellious vibe which I think is pretty awesome. The choppy layers give a nice volume illusion that works well with fine hair. There isn’t a lot of hair there, so it really helps to frame the face. The spikes give it a lot of personality which a lot of short cuts don’t have. This style is very nice for round or oval faces. The height adds visual length, which is great. To keep the spiky look fresh, you will need to cut it every few weeks. Just a couple of minutes of styling will keep it looking good. You will need some soft wax or paste, and put some on the top of your hair. All in all, I think it is a great look and I like suggesting it!
#49 White Pixie with Soft Bangs and Beautiful Shape
The soft stylistic bangs combined with the white color make the pixie extra flattering! The layered texture adds to the shape and makes it super easy to style with just a little product. A defining feature of this cut is how it defies fine hair. It uses softness and lightness to its advantage which I think is a very unique way to go about it. This is a good shape and length for oval and heart shaped faces. I also love the white on white, it’s so beautiful and luminous. To maintain the pixie shape, frequent trims are necessary for this style, and I think subtle lowlights would be a great addition to this look for added dimension.
#50 Modern Curly Cut with Soft Bangs and So Much Life
Curls instantly add volume to hair, and this haircut is the perfect example of that. The soft bangs and curls create a fuller head of hair and really make fine hair look like it has triple the amount of hair. The look is stunning for medium length hair and the bouncy curls make the hair appear lively and youthful. This hairstyle works especially well on oval and heart shaped faces because the combination of curls and bangs is beautifully balanced. The downside is that curly hair requires a little more styling maintenance and may require a diffuser for defined curls. However, the look is well worth the additional effort.
