#1: Short Tousled Grey Hairstyle
If you’re above 60 and want a young look, I suggest a hairstyle that enhances your face’s attributes. Ask your stylist to give you a layered pixie cut that you can style upwards from your face. This cut suits narrow foreheads and face shapes, aiming to add length to their style. The cropped cut will be slightly longer on top. It works best for those seeking volume and have thin, fine hair.
#2: Silver Graduated Bob on Straight Hair
Consider a silver graduated bob on straight hair for your new short cut. The long layers in a smooth bob hairdo will reflect the light and make your hair appear shinier. Shine Flash by Redken is a great product to spray on for added gloss and it won’t make it greasy or weigh it down. Ask your stylist to elevate the back a bit shorter than the front for an edgy shape that will make you look 10 years younger.
#3: Chic Gray Side-Swept Hair
A modern style for women over 60 is a cropped pixie. When going for a short cut, remember to tailor it to your face shape, height, and body. A short pixie gives you daily styling ease but needs maintenance at the salon every 4 to 6 weeks.
#4: Grey Pixie Cut with Swept Fringe
With a cut featuring a swept fringe, style can be a defining feature. If you’re above 60 and want a new hairstyle, consider a textured pixie cut. It suits people with oval, heart, or diamond-shaped faces. Besides, the textured cut flatters a narrow jawline, while a side-swept fringe balances a wider forehead.
#5: Short Slob Hairstyle for Grey Hair
The short slob hairstyle is the perfect choice for a mature woman with grey hair who wants a chic and modern look. This hairstyle features a chin-length bob with soft, layered ends, creating a neat curve near the jawline. It works best for those who want a shorter style that is easy to maintain and style. To create this look, start with damp hair and apply a volumizing mousse to the roots. Using a round brush, blow dry the hair while brushing it under, which creates a fuller look with curved ends.
#6: Volume and Texture in a Short Haircut
If you’re finding it hard to handle your aging hair, one solution could be to get a short haircut to add volume and texture. Your aging hair can often look younger and feel lighter with a short hairstyle that includes layered cuts.
#7: Natural Grey Salt and Pepper Hair
As we age, our hair does too. So many people try to resist this change by coloring their hair, which is perfectly fine! However, accepting your natural grey salt and pepper hair can appear even more stunning, especially when matched with a stylish short cut like this.
#8: Grey Straight Cut for Thin Hair
For thin-haired ladies aged 60 seeking a new, flattering haircut, a short grey straight cut is ideal. The short grey straight cut enhances your hair’s natural texture. It also provides a chic and sophisticated look. The short cut makes thin hair look fuller. The grey color adds elegance and modernity to your overall look. This low-maintenance style is easy to manage. However, regular trims are needed to keep the short grey cut looking fresh and prevent split ends. So, frequent salon visits for a dusting cut are necessary.
#9: Silver Sweeping Fringe on a Pixie Cut
A sweeping fringe on a pixie cut can be stylish and flattering. The hair’s grey or silver color boosts the style’s elegance. The fringe helps to frame the face and draw attention to the eyes, while the pixie cut adds a youthful and modern edge. This hairstyle works well for women looking for a low-maintenance haircut that still offers versatility in styling.

#11: Brushed Back Flowing Layers
Brushed-back flowing layers will give you an uplifting look with tons of lift. This is a great cut if you want a facelift but don’t want to undergo surgery. Use strong hold mousse for support. After setting your hair, apply a firm-hold hairspray. This will keep your style in place the whole day.

Try this beautiful bob with a fringe if you want to introduce bangs. Adding a soft wispy fringe is a super flattering style if you want to draw attention to your eyes.

I recommend using volumizing products and a round brush to add some lift and movement to the hair.

Here’s an edgy grey pixie cut with choppy bangs. With my years of experience, I have learned you can never be too edgy at any age. Life is too short not to enjoy self-expression. Try a super fun textured pixie that frames your face and compliments your facial profile. This will not steer you wrong in choosing the best length and style.
#17: Voluminous Side-Parted Short Hair
Sometimes aging hair can change our overall texture and density. So finding the right style for your new texture is key. Ask for a cute French bob that you can tuck behind your ears for a sleek modern, easy style. This style works best on finer hair that may be thinning around the temples. You can use a round brush on your bangs for lift with hairspray. And the rest can be flat-brushed back to replicate this style. Use a firm hairspray to hold it in place, like O&M Original Queenie Firm Hold Hairspray.
#18: Silver Curls and Pearls
Try a silver curly cut with pearled earrings. A short style for your bigger natural curls will give you shape and body to compliment your face. Tell your stylist you would like a wash-and-go shape for women in their 60s. You will spend time adding some product to your hair, with a choice to air dry or diffuse. Oway Curl Priming Cream is great for defining curls with a light hold.
#19: Sweeping Fringe on a Short Grey Pixie
Sweeping fringe on a short grey pixie takes the pixie from blah to fab! You may want a sweeping fringe if you have any new wrinkles. It’s the easiest way to add a more youthful look to your hair and face. Ask your stylist what hair care products they recommend for your hair texture. If you have fine hair, you’ll want a mousse to plump and keep it in place. If you have rough, coarse hair you will want a smoothing balm.
#20: Pretty Long Bob for Greying Hair
We love a pretty long bob for greying hair on a mature woman. Your hair should be a reflection of your personality but not be something that is a burden to your daily life or your wallet. Coloring aging hair can be a very high-maintenance process, requiring coloring visits every 3 to 4 weeks. Going grey can be a big jump, but is beautiful, especially with a gorgeous cut.
#21: Natural Color with Wispy Bangs
If your matured hair is a mix of being finer at the top and bulky at the bottom, consider a bob with a feathered fringe. Unlike all-over coarse hair, the weight of your hair is only at the bottom. The cut will shape your nape area and thin out the bulkiness. The layers from the stack on the feathered cut will remove weight and give you volume on top. The feathered fringe will play into your thinner hairline. This will give you a fuller appearance. Ask your stylist for products like Bed Head Queen for the Day spray. They will help your hair look fuller from the scalp.
#22: Salt and Pepper Pixie with Bangs
A salt and pepper pixie with bangs is super trendy and classy. For ladies in their sixties, this is a great cut to open up the face and keep things easy. Every 6-8 weeks a haircut will be needed to maintain the shortest length and overall shape.
#23: Long Pixie Cut with Longer Bangs
Your aging hair can still be modern and fun! A long pixie with bangs is a stylish cut. You should have your stylist create lots of texture around the part so it diffuses into the style. A straight part will only age this haircut. A pomade, like R+Co Bleu’s elastic pomade, will add texture to a longer pixie cut style and create an edgy finish.
#24: Messy Silver Short Cut with Side Bangs
A woman over 60 should consider a messy silver short cut with side bangs. Messy layers that are short and sweet will be easy to style and manage. I advise that you use a purple shampoo to keep gray looking cool toned and yellow away. Don’t forget to use a volumizing mouse to get max volume for fuller-looking locks.
#25: Neck-Length Layered Hair with Waves
You should try neck-length layered hair with waves if you want to cut your hair, but not too short. This mid-length shape makes you feel like you still have some hair and is attractive and feminine. Keep in mind, that collar length is perfect, but leaving it too long can make it flip out when it hits the shoulders. This style is so versatile and can be curled or worn natural with a gel. Trendy short grey hairstyles for women over 60 will make you feel refreshed and ready for anything.
#26: Tapered Pixie with Side Bangs

Short hairstyles for women over 60 with grey hair are any pixie or bob-length cut that demands low maintenance. These are great for many different hair types and can enhance natural volume.
Hairstylist and salon owner Molly Romano from Chicago, IL is fond of a bob cut. “It works well on any face shape. It can also be tailored and detailed to show off your favorite facial features,” she states.
A thorough consultation is key. This is to discuss what length and shape you want to have and how much you’re willing to style your locks every day.
Textured, blunt and French bobs are easy to style, offering volume and fullness to hair. These types of bob cuts are perfect for older women.
Don’t forget to ask what products and tools to use at home. Know some tips and tricks to style your new short hair, too.
The only drawback of this cut is if you’re in your 60s and like to change your look more often. “A bob takes time and patience to grow out, and certain color techniques may not suit the chop,” Romano warns.
If you’re a mature woman, cut your hair short and make a bold statement! Here are the images of the trendy short hairstyles for women with grey hair over 60.
