I take great pride in the haircut I recently did for a lady over 55 years old, and, frankly, it might just be the most requested cut I have done. This lady even brought in a photo of some 20-something-year-old influencer with long hair extensions that went all the way down to her waist and said, “make me look like that.” I said, “let’s have a chat first.” I was curious about what her mornings looked like, what her garden was like, what her trip was going to be like, how does she feel about her neck now as it is ten years ago, etc. At the end of the conversation, she told me, “do whatever you think.” This was a big deal to me because she had so much power over her decision. I ended up doing this amazing little crop cut on her and wow, did she start crying. She was probably thinking short hair was going to look bad because I’m guessing she had spent decades on end doing hair down to her butt. She looked happy because she was finally free to look like whoever she wanted to be.
Most people don’t understand what these haircuts mean. After 55, it’s better to remove some hair because your hair has likely been through a lot. The collection of hairstyles I’ve got for you will require very little to nothing in terms of upkeep. We’re talking towel dry and go with probably a tiny bit of product if you want to. These styles are all really modern, flattering, and most importantly, easy to live with.
#1: Silver Textured Pixie with Soft, Easy Layers
The movement on this is great. The layers give a nice natural fullness and you wouldn’t need to style it every single morning. If your hair has gotten finer as the years have gone by, a cut like this works *with* that rather than against it. The silver looks great on her. It means that you won’t be doing root touch ups every 3 weeks. I will say though, lighter shades like this do benefit from a purple shampoo, like, once a week to keep it from going yellow. The cut is so well shaped that even on a lazy day, it just falls perfectly into place.
#2 Textured Pixie with Warm Highlights Running Through It
You can tell the confidence someone has with a new haircut the moment they walk in. The highlights are super natural and just add some liveliness to the hair, while the texture helps keep it layered and not flat. My favorite detail is that she looks like she didn’t spend a lot of time styling it. She looks like she just woke up and left after running her fingers through it, and that’s probably the case. The bold pixie cut will need to be trimmed every 5 weeks to keep it looking neat. When pixie haircuts grow out, they can look too messy and structured, but this is a small price to pay for a style that looks so effortless.
#3 Feathered Silver Bob That Basically Styles Itself
I love the haircut! The soft feathering technique creates a lightweight feel and is great for when the hair starts thinning. The color is silver is beautiful. There’s a sophistication with this look that no box dye can replicate. The only downside is that feathered haircuts can look messy as they grow out and need to be maintained regularly so you will have to visit your stylist every six weeks. After the cut, it really is a wash and go hairstyle.
#4 Deep Espresso Pixie with a Little Bit of Texture
This is a great example of why dark pixies deserve more love! The warmth in this deep espresso color is just enough to soften the overall color without giving it that harsh look. It is also close to many women’s natural darker tones, so the grow-out is super forgiving. You won’t see a harsh line at your roots after two weeks because it just blends. The texture adds enough dimension so it doesn’t look flat and the length is short enough that styling is pretty much optional. If you’re active, or just really don’t want to think about your hair, this cut really rewards that.
#5 Golden Wheat Wavy Bob with a Sun-Kissed Feeling
This look captures a lot of positive energy and life. The balayage is soft and “I just came back from somewhere warm” but not too flashy. The waves look super natural so she isn’t spending a lot of time with a curling iron each morning. The face framing feathers give an amazing lift and she doesn’t have to do any of the heavy lifting for it! I will say that with this kind of color, especially to a balayage, you are going to want to invest in a good moisture mask. The lightened pieces will dry out and frizz up so they will need a little extra care and the color will not help. But the cut is my fav because it exactly what you want, low effort and high reward.
#6 Chestnut Layers with Those Effortless Soft Waves
I understand what you’re saying and it sounds like you’re referring to the short bob hairstyle that has a little asymmetry during the haircut. Many people make the mistake thinking that short bob hairstyles require crazy looking angles. The best part is that you have the chestnut brown color to work with. The color and the highlights create a style that looks full and dimensional, and the best part is that you don’t have to worry about blow drying your hair to get it that full. The soft waves that you put in your hair will really help to frame your face and draw attention to your eyes. Don’t be afraid to put in a little mouse in your hair to help the waves stay in longer, and if your hair is on the finer side, it might be a good idea to put in a little more mouse to help the waves stay in all day long, but just know that you’re only going to be spending a little bit of time on it like thirty seconds to get it to look that good.
#7 Caramel Waves with a Hint of Edge Underneath
It may seem easy to ignore the undercut, but it helps the overall look sit really well and helps with removing bulk without having to thin the hair. It helps the waves on top drape nicely without being too poofy on the sides. The caramel highlights are warming up her complexion nicely. The waves look great and I would guess she’s just using a bit of texture spray, and I agree that’s consistent with the look. Those caramel pieces will need to be brightened up every few months, but her base color can go longer in between appointments.
#8 Golden Blonde Layered Bob with a Glow to It
That hairstyle is amazing! You will get many compliments with this cut and color combination. The golden blonde is perfect for her skin tone. The layers are well done and add movement to the hairstyle so it doesn’t look flat. Having the hair length to the shoulders creates more styling options. You can tuck the hair behind the ears, pull the front back, or just let it hang. It looks good in every style. For those with medium to thin hair, this kind of layering is great because it looks more dense. The only con to this blonde is that it can get brassy. However, you can avoid that by having a toning treatment every few weeks to help keep the blonde looking clean.
#9 Platinum Feathered Bob That Feels Fresh
People going platinum excites me more than anything else! When it works, it REALLY works! The way this particular rounded layer hits the face is super flattering, and the platinum really lightens everything up! This is the \”we look, no effort\” cut. The grow-out on platinum is a commitment and it can start pulling yellow which makes it lose that fresh feeling so be honest with yourself about how frequently you want to be in the salon for toning every 4-5 weeks. If you want to put in the work, this is one of the most low effort yet chic styles you can have. It is especially good for fine to medium hair because the layers create volume where you need it.
#10 Blonde Layered Bob with a Natural Wave
I like this hairstyle because it looks effortless. The waves and texture of her hair go along with the cut. This is honestly the whole philosophy I wish more people would get behind. The collarbone length is a sweet spot because with a pixie cut people have to trim their hair much more often. Shorter lengths also mean more blowouts, while collarbone length is long enough to opt out of blowouts. The light blonde color works great to blend away any gray. If you have some silver coming in and aren’t fully ready to go gray, dying your hair blonde is a great solution. The layers add movement and texture instead of looking uniform. Even the most minimal effort day looks great with this hairstyle.
#11 Silver Textured Pixie for Women Who Don’t Sit Still
I like the choppy layers here because it adds more personality to the hair. It’s short, spiky, and not trying to be demure which I find really refreshing. She’s not wearing silver as in “I’m letting it go.” It looks strategic and contemporary like she made a decision, which she did. For fine hair, this kind of choppiness is perfect because it gives the illusion of volume in a way that a smooth, flat cut just doesn’t. Considering going silver? A toner every now and then to look bright instead of dull, but the cut would need almost no daily attention. Towel dry, maybe a bit of wax if you want the pieces to separate, and you’re good to go.
#12 Sleek Silver Crop with Just Enough Texture
This is very clean! Look is polished and tailored. Overall, classic. Texture adds severity which is one of my concerns when doing a very short cut with a client but in this case, it feels relaxed and polished. The natural silver grey is stunning and with that, the maintenance on color is zero which is a win in my book. With this cut you will want to keep on shape because a cut this precise will turn youthful and shaggy quicker than a longer style would. So every 4-5 weeks you will want to do a clean up. However, the good trade off is that your daily routine is minimal. Just a bit of styling paste and your fingers.
#13 Warm Auburn Bob with Waves That Move
This color looks so good on her! Auburn is one of those shades that can go wrong if it’s TOO red or brown. Luckily this one is sitting right in the sweet spot. The volume in the waves is perfect. If you have finer hair, you want that. The layering creates an illusion of fullness in fine hair. This style is great for air drying and walking away from it, which is the whole point. The color will need some maintenance though. A good color-safe conditioner will help her auburn from fading too fast!
#14 Silver Bob with Those Perfect Face-Framing Pieces
The way they have layered your hair gives your face a good shape.. They soften everything and it doesn’t look like they are hiding anything. The silver color has a sleekness to it that gives the whole look a polished finish. If your hair is naturally straight, this IS an ideal haircut as it will dry in the desired style. The neck length uniformity is a classic, but the front layers stop it from looking too dated. Silver is a color that does change and fade over time, so to keep it looking consistent, you may find you need to use glosses and toners more often. For a look this clean cut though, the maintenance should be minimal.
#15 Vanilla Blonde Feathered Bob That Just Works
I love this kind of vanilla blonde. It looks really natural, and the darker roots give more depth to the style. It’s a good thing for you, the grow out won’t be a freak out thing because this style looks great with time between appointments. The feathering adds volume, which is awesome if your hair is fine, and the shape is nice without being too complicated. It’s the kind of hair where people say, “wow I love your hair,” and you get to say, “I didn’t even do anything today,” and actually mean it. The color will probably need to be touched up regularly, but the style will stay good in between trims.
#16 Silver Pixie That Looks Like It Means Business
I really like the energy this cut is giving off. The choppy layers give it an effortless vibe, as opposed to the polished appearance of a smooth pixie cut. The silver hair color seems to be low maintenance as it fades because there’s no panic about root growth showing; it just blends in. This cut shows that a lot of thought and artistry went into it. It’s not just an ordinary ‘short’ cut, and that elevates the style a lot. It’s also super simple! If you have finer hair, don’t worry! This cut will give the illusion of more hair. With minimal product and your fingers, you can easily achieve that effortless look.
#17 Silver Bob That Falls Exactly Where It Should
I really like recommending chin length bob haircuts. They are classic! This one does a great job because it falls right on the jaw and has a subtle gradation towards the face which draws everything in and makes the entire face more sculpted. The color of the silver is beautiful! If your hair is straight and medium density, you might be able to just wash and air dry like the model to have a similar look. To achieve this look you may also have to trim the ends every 6 to 8 weeks to keep the lines looking soft enough. Other than that, there is very little maintenance required to keep this look!
#18 Silver Layered Cut with a Graceful, Easy Shape
I love the combination of grey and white tones in this one. The natural variations in the hair give a three-dimensional effect. The layers offer a natural and soft movement that isn’t neat or rigid. This style is ideal for fine hair as it provides structure and volume without needing styling. The most it requires to avoid looking flat between washes is a bit of a volumizing shampoo. The cut is polished while still working with the hair’s natural flow.
#19 Chestnut Rounded Bob with Those Sweet Side Bangs
The rounded finish on this cut looks amazing, but more so, it snugs her head shape perfectly. The bangs are just the right amount to create some mystery without trims and adjustables. The cleverness in the color looks great as it adds depth and volume to the hair. A bob is especially good on squarer jaws as it adds curves in areas the face is more sharp. The shape will require some upkeep every six to eight weeks, but in between trips to the salon it’s really just a wash and dry. You may want to brush it if you’re feeling up to it.
#20 Silver Lavender Fade That’s Surprisingly Wearable
I appreciate you giving me the time to explain. The lavender shade is very soft, almost appearing like silver instead of a purple hue. The tips have a more concentrated color, which allows the hair to grow out more gracefully. In four weeks you won’t be making any mistakes. The cut is also really nice for fine hair and has lots of layers. I think it looks great and I’m hoping woman 55+ see this & feel inspired. The downside to the look is lavender fashion colors fade really quickly. If the Violet Kiss is your jam, more salon trips are a must. The good news is that as the color fades it’s a light silver which is still pretty, so you win either way!
#21 Auburn Tousled Pixie with Real Presence
The warmth and depth of the auburn color makes it almost look like it glows! Paired with the tousled pixie cut, her look is energetic, approachable, and confident! It accentuates the eyes and cheekbones in a beautiful natural way and the waves add a natural volume so no hair product is required. Her look is super low maintenance since it only takes two minutes to do. The biggest consideration is that a warm red shade will fade more quickly than a brunette or blonde, so keep that in mind for salon visits. Overall, this look is stunning and low commitment!
#22 Natural Tousled Cut That Looks Like You’re Not Trying
This haircut gives off an ‘I woke up like this’ vibe. The natural blonde color, which is unprocessed and not highlighted, looks very pretty. The variation in length with some areas being shorter and some longer is nice and adds more texture and volume to the hair. I like that the hair is messy, but not messy in a bad way. I can tell that there is a good cut underneath so that it doesn’t look like it’s falling apart. A light spray would enhance the texture a little more, but the cut is doing the work even without it.
#23 Tousled Chestnut Pixie with an Effortless Feel
The chestnut color is nice and warm. I love that it doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is; a nice, clean cut pixie that is phenomenal. The messy look brings out character and the light layers give more volume to the crown and top. This is the kind of style that you can’t ruin because the outline does all the work. It’s important to get regular trims to keep up the shape, but the daily work is low and that’s part of the attraction.
#24 Chestnut Textured Bob That Reads as Effortlessly Put Together
The goodness this one keeps calling me back for is understated and subtle. The length is just right, covering the ears, and sitting nicely at the nape. That’s a really nice and comfy spot for this length. The color is nice, warm and not too loud. The texture helps by looking and styling like you don’t need to. You could seriously get this haircut and go from the gym to a nice dinner and nobody would know the difference. The color might need a touch up every couple of months, but literally no daily effort is really needed. It looks really nice and effortless.
#25 Charcoal Curved Crop That Elongates Everything
The design for this cut works perfectly. It creating an illusion that the face looks lifted, and the neck looks longer. This trick is pretty difficult to achieve but they manage to do it flawlessly. This color is a sophisticated and youthful deep charcoal, which isn’t an easy balance to achieve. For those of you with finer hair this soft volume is totally achievable, and since the cut has been done so precisely the shape of the cut will hold up well to that. The color will need maintenance to keep the depth and richness, and the cut will need it to be shaped more often, but the good news is that the daily maintenance is super easy.
#26 Golden Tapered Bob with Built-In Texture
I really like the back of this cut, the shorter taper lifts everything and gives the whole bob a bouncy feeling which you’d usually need a round brush to do. The golden tones look good on warmer skin and they really pop the texture. If you have finer hair, the layered technique here is your friend because it gives the illusion of fullness while the tapering prevents it from looking heavy. The shape does need some maintenance, the taper will grow out faster than a blunt cut, but it’s one of those styles that makes people think you spent way more time on it than you really did.
#27 Tousled Brunette Crop with Natural Volume
This look works for medium to thick hair short hair styles since you get to keep your hair’s natural volume and body. Plus, the rich brown color is flattering on everyone. Because it’s short it’s easy to maintain, and if you wanted to style it differently you could do raised top. A lightweight gel or mousse scrunched through damp hair gives you that relaxed look and your whole routine is done just like that!
#28 Textured Pixie with Side-Swept Bangs That Add Softness
My favorite part about this haircut is the side-swept bangs, which add an even softer, more feminine touch and take away from the more masculine pixie characteristics it could have. The way the bangs move across the forehead is really nice and easy to deal with when they grow out. Plus, they draw the eyes. Bangs add so much more to a haircut. The added layers seem to give the hair extra volume that is often desired by those with fine hair, and overall, I think it looks great. You can tell it is a contemporary haircut, but it doesn’t feel overly trendy in a way that will make the style become outdated in a month. If I had to make a guess, I would say that the upkeep on this haircut is fairly simple, and would just involve a few pieces on the head being placed into their correct spots after a good wash.
#29 Textured Bob with Soft Natural Waves
These waves have a natural look and provide an effortless framing of the face as the layers do, while the subtle highlights prevent the look from becoming streaky. The beautiful effortless curls that this cut offers, especially if you have natural curls is a major plus. Getting your curls to clump will probably require you to scrunch some product in on wash days, but you can just leave the waves alone on non-wash days and the texture will improve, which is my favorite thing.
#30 Short Textured Crop with Bangs That Keep Things Soft
I can tell this stylist is very confident. The first thing I notice is how light and airy the cut feels. The cut is short, but definitely not clinging to the head, almost as if the cut is floating above the head. It looks like there has been some great precision work in the layering which contributes to the lightness in the cut. The bangs are soft and wispy, so they add a gentle approach to the whole cut. This is going to add the most texture to medium density hair without haying it, and without the hair feeling stiff from too much thinning and layering. The bangs will be the most maintenance intensive part, but you will want to maintain them since they are the frame of the face. Everything else basically takes care of itself.
#31 Choppy Auburn Pixie That Brightens Everything
I love the auburn pixie because I love how the warm color and the edgy cut compliment eachother, The short, choppy layers give this haircut a lot of energy and are great for framing the faces of people with more angular features by softening the edges, Plus, having a short haircut is super time-saving in the morning. The color is the biggest investment because auburn does fade, and it entails a little upkeep to keep the color looking bright. If you are willing to commit maintenance, this haircut is such a cute and uplifting option!
#32 Soft Short Cut with Highlights That Add Just Enough
This layered cut is stunning and has the ability to cater to many styles. The shape and color of the cut is quite the opposite of dramatic, and because of this, it still shines. The soft highlights add dimension to what could be a very plain short cut by enhancing the various layers, and the soft layering throughout the cut adds to the movement and versatility. This is also a t-shirt and jeans type of cut, but it can be dressed up if the occasion calls for something more formal. Moreover, the maintenance is great as it will only require the occasional trim. This cut exemplifies the idea that less is more, and because of that, it is one of the best.
#33 Silver Feathered Pixie That Looks Like a Breeze
I love the feathering technique you used on the hair. The movement of the silver strands is amazing. They look healthy and lively, rather than just being gray. Finer hair types will benefit from this type of feathered layering because it gives volume and interest without the need for styling. The cut does the work. It will also soften the jaw and freshen up the entire look, which is what I love the most about it. Maintaining the brightness and shine of the silver color will just require a gloss treatment from the salon once in a while. Honestly, this is one of the most low-maintenance cuts on the list.
#34 Lavender Textured Bob with Layers That Flow
At first, lavender may look a bit intense, but it’s actually very versatile. The shade is soft enough so that it feels more like a natural extension of silver or grey instead of being a big step out of your comfort zone. The layered bob cut creates enough movement so that the color shifts in the light to look different, which is gorgeous. If your hair is fine to medium, the layers are great for adding volume, and the face-framing pieces do the trick without going too far. The color maintenance is real though, lavender will fade quickly and will need to be refreshed often. The cut is low maintenance but will retain its shape nicely between appointments.
#35 Short Textured Crop with Wispy, Lived-In Layers
This haircut has back layers that are soft and gentle, and all the layers have a nice flow. The longer front layers are natural and flattering with no evidence of being overdone. For short hair you can do a lot — you can have a relaxed look with some mess or sophisticate it with a sleek polished look. Without a doubt, it’s the best of both worlds. Instant style without having to do any maintenance.
#36 Lavender Pixie That’s Softer Than It Sounds
I love this lavender and I make no apologies. It’s stunning. This shade is more of a whisper than a shout, and on her is a really interesting, modern interpretation of silver. The pixie shape is traditional, but the color moves it into the realm of the extraordinary, and I think that’s fun for someone who has earned the right to do anything with their hair. The layers provide just enough volume to avoid everything going completely limp, and the length does a good job of framing the face nicely. Lighter fantasy colors like this do require some upkeep, but this cut is really a wash and go style.
#37 Rounded Bob with Soft, Classic Layers
Bob cuts are almost always perfect. This one is above the shoulder with amazing layering and looks great with or without a helmet. It is universally flattering and looks great with fine hair as it makes the hair appear more voluminous. The hair falls straight and silky with no need for a blowout or an iron which is super refined and polished. The haircut maintains its perfection for a couple of weeks and will require a little upkeep as that maintenance is all you will have to do!
#38 Feathered Short Cut That Looks Expensive
Doesn’t this look like great hair?! The cut frames her face while the layers are down just right to accent her bone structure, and it doesn’t look overstyled. Fine hair can get some great volume from this style, especially at the crown where the most volume is added. The shape of this style keeps everything looking full and healthy. This blend of low-maintenance highlights is great because as they grow out they won’t create a harsh line. This cut really makes people think you have an amazing stylist, and you do!
#39 Bouncy Curly Crop That Celebrates Your Texture
Natural curls? DO NOT straighten your hair. This cut is designed with your curls in mind, and it looks amazing. The layers let each curl bounce up and get lots of volume, and you won’t have to dry it or round brush it. The length is also perfect for short curls that will frame your face. This is as low maintenance as it gets with curly hair, but you will want a good curl-defining cream to keep your curls from looking frizzy on humid days. Just scrunch and you’re done!
#40 Layered Short Cut with Loose, Pretty Waves
The longer front pieces are great for softening the overall style and creating a more relaxed feel than a standard short cut. The waves provide volume, and the highlights are fabulous for older skin as they brighten the complexion beautifully. This is not quite zero maintenance as those loose waves will require some effort whether that is scrunching in some product and air drying, or doing a quick pass with a large barrel curling iron on the front pieces. The effort is very worth it though, as the result is a youthful yet polished feel which is a lovely place to land.
#41 Silver Pixie with Soft Bangs That Change Everything
Bangs on a pixie cut can totally change how a face looks. These are great. The bangs are soft enough to not look overbearig, and add a touch of femininity that a pixie without bangs could never have. The silver is a nice natural color, and the layered texture makes it look full and interesting. If you have been contemplating these bangs, but feeling nervous, these are the kind that if you change your mind about them they’ll grow out really quickly. That means there is not much commitment! Regular trims are needed to keep the shape nice, and the bangs out of your eyes, but daily styling is more just pushing things into place where you want it, and then calling it done.
#42 Textured Pixie with Side Swept Bangs and Gorgeous Highlights
I like how the highlights add depth and dimension to the cut. It also creates the illusion of more hair. The side-swept bangs are also nice because they are lower maintenance compared to blunt bangs that need constant adjusting. The bangs are textured which creates fullness and movement. It looks like a decent amount of effort goes into creating it, but it looks really easy to maintain. I appreciate that. Mornings are going to be minimal effort besides washing and a little upkeep to maintain the shape.
#43 Silver Pixie with Soft Side Layers That Frame Beautifully
The side layers are really nice and complement the face well, creating a nice smooth look. The natural silvery tones look clean, fresh, and modern which is a nice touch. This haircut is particularly good for straight hair since it will fall into place as desired without requiring any additional styling. The length is also very manageable. It’s short enough to dry in minutes but long enough to look styled. I will say that cuts this short can accentuate some face shapes more than longer styles, so it may be worth discussing facial proportions with your stylist. However, if the shape of your face is good, this is a nice, low-maintenance cut.
#44 Blunt Bob with Soft Bangs for a Clean, Modern Feel
There’s nothing quite like a blunt bob to scream confidence, and these soft bangs keep it from looking too harsh. The length is perfect – just above the shoulders, so it’s easy to manage but long enough to style in different ways if you want to. A sleek finish looks super nice, but just a heads up, if you have naturally thick, frizzy, or wavy hair, you won’t get this look without a blow-dry or something so keep that in mind. For fine and straight hair, this is one of the styles that you you don’t have to do much to and it just looks good. The bangs will have to be trimmed in between cuts to keep them looking fresh, but otherwise, this looks so good and is honestly so easy to maintain.
#45 Feathered Pixie with Highlights That Add Dimension
The feathering is really nicely done. The most volume is at the crown, and tapers towards the edges for a more soft finish. This is ideal for fine hair as it creates fullness where it is most needed instead all over the hair which can cause fine hair to look messy. The highlights are just the right amount woven in to look natural and add more depth to the hair. Because this cut is so short, it has a lot more to it in a good way. It is super easy to style and grows out better than most people expect from a pixie so that is a really good thing if you typically wait a long time between appointments.
#46 Layered Silver Pixie with a Playful Fringe
The fringe looks fun, soft and playful. It has a youthful energy which I love. I like how the layering looks. It adds volume to fine hair and the ends help keep it looking dynamic. The silver is beautiful. From a color perspective, it is low maintenance. If you want it brighter and cleaner, you will benefit from a toning treatment to prevent warmth from coming through. But the cut and style is easy and breezy. It takes a minute in the morning and looks great.
#47 Short Blonde Crop with Subtle, Volume-Building Layers
A no-nonsense haircut is clear and straightforward while also being very nice. The structured layers begin at the crown of the head and create more volume as they go down. The bright blonde color increases the freshness of the hairstyle. This is one of those hairstyles that looks good for a Tuesday morning as well as a Saturday night dinner. I think that is a good sign of a quality haircut. This particular style is aimed towards fine to medium density hair. The length of the hair and the layers create an appearance where the hair does what it needs to do but without being too obvious. It is a hairstyle that is very easy to maintain. All you need to do is towel dry your hair and you will be good to go. You will have to do some maintenance to the color so that the blonde does not change to an unwanted tone, but the hairstyle will require nothing to keep it looking nice.
#48 Silver Pixie with Fluffy Layers That Catch the Light
The whole cut looks lively and looks soft and touchable. The layered volume adds to the soft and silvery radiant light reflecting look. For fine to medium hair these fluffy layers feel like the sweet spot. A little bit of texturizing spray or mousse would increase the fluffiness, but even without it the cut has a lot of good shape. The length is just above the nape which is a comfortable and easy length, and the overall feel is modern, fresh, and extremely easy to wear.
#49 Textured Crop with Face-Framing Layers and Soft Balayage
This balayage proves that sometimes, less is more. It doesn’t try to compete with bright highlights, but rather gives the hair a little warmth to accentuate the cut and bring it to life. The face framing layers make the perfect contribution to the style by softening the features and bringing the focus to the center. The tousled texture really brings it all together, looking great but not too polished. The best thing a haircut can do is make it seem like you are lucky enough to have great hair. The shape, along with the forgiving balayage, is perfect to go weeks without a salon trip. With the way it grows out, you won’t be stuck on an appointment schedule for color.
#50 Silver Bob with Face-Framing Bangs That Soften and Flatter
This next hairstyle shows perfectly how a fringe can dramatically change an entire bob cut. The framing sections of hair are soft and gentle, not blunt or thick, and wrap around the face to soften the look, which is very flattering. The silver shade is natural. The mid-length of the hair is a sweet spot because it gives nice weight to the style without it being too heavy. For fine hair, the layered sections are built up to the right volume so that they don’t fall flat, and the overall shape is wonderful. Although the bangs may need a little bit of styling, the work required is closer to seconds than minutes. This layered cut requires a lot of effort and attention to be planned, but the goal is to make it look effortless.
