Choosing a fresh hairstyle for a new stage of life doesn’t have to mean big change. As New York City-based stylist Mark Garrison says, “You can stick with your favorite style, but update it in little ways.” The trick is to work with a stylist who focuses on three key factors: your bone structure, hair type, and preferred maintenance level. To find the best haircut for your age, stylists recommend turning to a celeb with a similar face shape and hair texture to determine what might look best on you.
But there’s one myth we can put to rest right now: There is no one-size-fits-all hairstyle for older women. Anyone can look great with almost any haircut at almost any age. Long or short, curly or straight, there are no strict guidelines here. However, there are some tips and tricks to landing the look of your dreams.
So, take notes, find the right stylist, and you’re halfway there! Check out our very favorite haircuts for older women, as seen on these gorgeous celebrities over 60.
