Spring is a time of renewal, and what better way to embrace this season than with a fresh new hairstyle? If you’re a woman over 60, you may be wondering what styles can best highlight your lovely features and complement your hair texture. Fear not! We have the expertise of Linda Miller, a seasoned hairstylist with a wealth of experience in styling hair for mature women. In this article, she shares her invaluable insights and advice to help you feel confident and beautiful in your new spring hairstyle.
Best Styles for Different Face Shapes
For those with a square face shape, Linda recommends hairstyles that soften the strong jawline. Opt for chin-length to shoulder-length styles with volume at the crown and texture around the face. “Long layers or a long bob can be very flattering,” she advises. On the other hand, if you have a round face, create the illusion of length by adding height at the crown and long, sweeping layers around the sides. Linda suggests “a long bob with face-framing layers or a long shag with a deep side part.”
Choosing Styles for Different Hair Textures
Linda Miller offers valuable advice for styling those with fine and thin hair. “Keep it simple. Textured bobs and pixies are great options,” she recommends. For those with thick and coarse hair, she suggests long layers, a shag cut, or a long bob. “But be sure to consider the texture of your hair when choosing a style,” Linda advises. If your hair is curly or wavy, opt for styles that embrace your natural texture, such as a long shag with layers or a short bob with bangs.
