Lobs

Lobs,
or long bobs, are considered a cut between the chin and collarbone. A lob is a
bit less traditional than a regular bob, but offers versatility that only
longer lengths can offer. Older women can rock this style as a classy, short
cut, or can throw into a ponytail for a relaxed, laid back look.

Pixie cuts

Pixie
cuts are a great look for older women who want an edgy look. Pixie cuts are
pretty low maintenance and can add dimension and a full look to fine or thin
hair. Some may opt for a pixie cut with long choppy tips on top with short,
cropped sides. Other pixie looks feature longer lengths with side sweeping
bangs.

Bangs

It
may seem like bangs are more of a trendy look for a younger crowd; but bangs
can be a beautiful look for older women as well. Bangs can cast a youthful and
invigorating glow for an older woman, and actually look amazing with a gray or
silver color. With so many different versatile options to choose from, older
women can go for many looks, like bobs with bangs, blunt bangs, side-swept bangs,

Shags

If
you really aren’t into high maintenance hairstyles that require upkeep minute
by minute, shags are a go to look to keep in mind. Shags are messy and fun and
have a chic quality that looks effortless. This style is great for someone with
thinner hair, and looks great with babylights to brighten graying hair.

Short crops

Super
short cropped hair is the ultimate low maintenance look that exudes style and
grace for older women. It requires little styling and fuss–to achieve this
look, simple rubbing styling lotion backward through hair with a quick comb
through will do the trick. Finish off by letting air dry or blow dry. This is a
great look for older women with thick, straight hair.

Asymmetrical flair

Any cut that is asymmetrical on one side is for the older woman who wants her hair to make a playful, trendy statement. This style is not for the low maintenance type, as an asymmetrical cut requires frequent upkeep. Regular trimming is the key to keeping this cut looking as fierce as the first chop. Asymmetrical cuts exude confidence and style, making this look truly ageless.
