Welcome to the world of ageless style! If you’re a woman over 60 looking to reinvent your look, bob hairstyles are your best friend. We’ve got the scoop from the hair guru, Linda Miller, who is here to share her expertise and advice on choosing and rocking the perfect bob for your unique hair type and face shape.
Choosing the Right Bob for Your Hair Type
Let’s dive into the bob world with Linda’s expert advice. “For fine hair, a one-length bob adds fullness and the illusion of density. A chin-length bob is the most versatile and a great choice for all hair types.”
Flattering Bobs for Different Face Shapes
”For thick hair, a layered bob helps reduce bulk and gives the hair movement. Lind says, “For curly hair, a layered bob is best. It adds shape, and the layers help the hair to curl. Removing weight from the bottom will make your curls springy and encourage them to curl.”
Key Points to Consider Before Getting a Bob Hairstyle Over 60:
Face Shape: Determine your face shape (oval, round, square, heart) to choose a flattering bob style.
Hair Texture: Consider your hair’s natural texture (fine, thick, curly, straight) as it influences the bob’s suitability and styling.
Maintenance: Shorter hairstyles often require more frequent trims; ensure you’re ready for the upkeep.
Styling Options: Look for styles that can be easily styled or adjusted for different occasions, from casual to formal.
Color and Highlights: Consider adding color or highlights to add dimension and vibrancy, especially if your hair is thinning or graying.
Consultation: Discuss with a hairstylist who specializes in cuts for older women to find a style that suits your lifestyle and preferences.
Comfort: Choose a bob that feels comfortable for you, whether it’s a classic bob, angled bob, or textured bob.
Versatility: Look for a style that allows for versatility in styling—think about how you can wear it straight, wavy, or with curls.
