20+ Fun and Sassy Layered Hair with Bangs Women Over 60 Are Obsessing Over

When you’ve had every cut under the sun, it can feel like there’s nothing new left to try—but that’s exactly why layered hair with bangs hits different after 60. It’s low-maintenance, brings softness back around the face, and gives your style real movement without sacrificing volume. The key is blending the layers correctly with the right type of bang—especially if your hair has thinned or changed texture over time. I always recommend working with long layers that remove bulk while still creating fullness at the crown and pairing them with curtain or wispy bangs to frame the face without looking too heavy.

Avoid blunt cuts that fall flat and ask your stylist to point cut the layers for a more lifted, airy shape. Ready to find a fresh new look that gives your hair some personality again? Scroll through these layered styles and pick the one that feels most you.
