The Best Haircuts for over 60 | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

The short answer is that there isn’t ‘one’ haircut which works well for clients over 60. However the best haircuts for over 60’s will depend largely upon your hair texture, face shape and how much maintenance you are happy with. Shorter options tend to work best as these are easier to achieve more volume, definition whilst being able to enhance your facial features and giving a bit of ‘lift’ around the face. A popular choice is a softly layered bob because the bob offers ease of maintenance, limited styling and you can afford to wear your hair straight, wavy or curly. The volume achieved through the soft layering offers many of the benefits of a straight haircut (structure and ease of stying) with many of the benefits of layering (versatility in reference to styling options, volume, thickness and movement).

Another option which can work well and that requires little day-to-day styling is the pixie cut. Whilst the short nature of the cut does require routine appointments to ensure its shape is maintained, your day-to-day styling is limited and this can prove hugely attractive. From the standpoint of something that is low maintenance yet suits many people, a pixie cut is universally loved.

For anyone that wants to embrace some length, a collarbone-length cut with some soft layers (invisible layers are increasingly common) can offer best of both worlds. This style of haircut is flexible insofar as it can be loosely styled, be worn tucked behind your ear and from a maintenance point of view it doesn’t require heavy styling or much product usage. Here are some more haircutting options for mature women.
