As we get older, our sense of style evolves—and so does our hair. If you want to try something new or simply want a low-maintenance cut, finding the appropriate haircut can help you feel at ease, self-assured, and lovely. The good news is you don’t need to spend hours each day styling your hair in order to look and feel fabulous. This article presents a list of easy to maintain haircuts for women over 60— specially chosen to flatter your face, suit your lifestyle and support you in aging gracefully and fashionably! Let’s take a look at some stunning, low-maintenance haircut options that prove that less is more.
Pixie Cut
The pixie is the ultimate no-maintenance hairstyle, perfect for an individual who demands something edgy yet fashionable. It has closely cut sides and back with top hair longer than the sides. Oval, heart and round faces suit this type. Every 4–6 weeks to maintain shape. Style using a light styler cream or pomade to create texture.
Classic Bob
The chin-length bob hair is timeless. Straight and smooth, it frames the face beautifully and works on most face shapes, but especially square or heart-shaped faces. It’s maintained smoothness through frequent flat ironing or blow-drying. Use a heat protectant and shine hair serum.
Side-Swept Crop
This super-short crop has slightly longer hair swept over to one side, creating a sleek, elegant shape. It is best suited for fearless personalities and pointed jawlines. Use a gel or pomade to keep the sweep in place. Good for straight and wavy hair.
Textured Pixie
A modern twist on the classic pixie, this haircut uses layers and choppy texture to create volume and movement. It’s ideal for fine hair as it creates depth for thick hair and removes bulk. Apply texturizing spray and finger-tousle for a piecey, lived-in look.
Tapered Cut
A tapered cut combines short hair at the sides and back with longer hair on top. It’s trendy, cool, and very low-maintenance. It’s often seen in natural hairstyles and curly textures. To keep the taper, trims every 3–4 weeks. Moisturize the scalp and hair if wearing natural curls.
Short Shag
The short shag brings back retro rock ‘n roll with a modern twist. Choppy ends, plenty of layers, and volume characterize this style. This look is on wavy or curly hair textures. Diffuse your natural curls or waves using a curl cream. Dry shampoo for texture when not washing.
Layered Bob
A layered bob adds texture and movement, making it for wavy or curly hair. When blow-drying, use a round brush to add extra layers.
Ear-Length Blunt Cut
Sleek yet minimalist, this is a flat-cut ending at the ears. This shape is for those who like order and minimal fuss. Flair trims are a must. Straightening the ends with a flat iron maintains the sleek look under control.
Shoulder-Length Lob
The lob brushes against the shoulders, so it’s one of the most adaptive medium cuts. It compliments nearly all face shapes and hair textures. Tousle the ends slightly under or out for contrast. Great with waves or straightened, based on a mood swing and the occasion.
Shoulder-Length Short Curls
Shoulder-length curls are easy to maintain, playful, and versatile. They can be styled into updos, half-updos, or simply left in a simple wash-and-go style. Celebrate your curls! Apply leave-in conditioner, a curl cream, and dry with a diffuser for optimum results. Never brush dry curls to avoid frizz.
Feathered Layered Short Cut
Picture wispy, soft layers that gently define your face. The feathered cut takes us back to the ’70s, modern way. Ideal for straight to very curly hair. Use a volumizing and blow-dry with a round brush for a feathered flip.
Medium Shag with Bangs
Shaggy layers with bangs carefree and cool. This style introduces movement and texture, ideal for thick or curly hair. The bangs—ranging from curtain to wispy or blunt—frame the face and enhance the overall shape, adding softness or edge depending on the style.
Angled Lob
A bit broader at the front and shorter in the back, the angled lob adds an edge to the classic lob. It’s flattering and makes the neck look longer and the jawline stronger. Flat iron for dramatic effect, or add soft curls for romance.
Soft Perm Pixie
A curly pixie? Ah, yes. The subtle perm gives curls bounce and volume, and it’s a great option for naturally flat or straight hair. Use curl-defining products and avoid sulfates. Hydrate curls with a weekly mask.
