Are you a woman over 60 looking for a chic new hairstyle? Linda Miller, our own hair maestro, shares her wisdom on the right cuts, colors, and care for your distinctive hair type. Her insights can help you rock a new look!
Embrace Your Hair Texture
Linda advises, “The best hairstyle for women over 60 is one that is low maintenance, flattering for your face shape, and works with your texture.” She encourages you to embrace your natural texture, whether it’s wavy, curly, or straight. For those with thinning hair, opt for a short, textured cut with bangs. Linda suggests, “Adding some layers will help create the illusion of fullness.”
Choosing the Right Color
For those with thick hair, a long bob or layered look can help manage the volume. If your hair is coarse, a longer style with layers will also work well. Fine hair can benefit from a chin-length bob with lots of layers.
Key Points to Consider Before Choosing a Hairstyle Over 60:
Face Shape: Choose hairstyles that complement your face shape (oval, round, square, etc.) for a flattering look.
Hair Texture: Consider the natural texture of your hair. Fine or thinning hair may benefit from layered cuts, while thicker hair can handle bolder styles.
Maintenance: Opt for low-maintenance hairstyles that require minimal styling and upkeep to fit a busy lifestyle.
Color: Embrace natural grays or consider highlights and color that enhance your features and skin tone.
Length: Short to medium lengths often provide a youthful appearance, but choose a length that you feel comfortable managing.
Styling Products: Invest in good-quality styling products to add volume and texture, especially for fine or thinning hair.
Health of Hair: Prioritize healthy hair. Regular trims and treatments can keep your hair looking vibrant and fresh.
Personal Style: Choose a hairstyle that reflects your personality and lifestyle, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable.
