Short hair with style and character.
Finding the right hairstyle at a mature age can be difficult since fine hair, changing texture, and even the styling time play a vital role. The pixie bob for older women keeps things modern, manageable, and alive. With the right length and shape, this type of cut frames the face beautifully and brings movement and volume to the whole look. Short hair should feel liberating, not limiting.
This hairstyle hits two targets with one shot – the stacked layers in the back build volume, and bronde lived-in highlights add dimension to the style.

Rooted in the ‘70s fashion, the wedge hairstyle gives nostalgic vibes with a modern touch. Go for a solid, saturated hair color with warm undertones to brighten up your complexion.
@charlesjuniorlouw
This hairstyle is too cool to ignore! Quite literally. The cool, icy-silver highlights blend well with the natural grays. Peeking through the feathered layers, they deliver light and airy texture.
@bladesalon
Want to add a touch of attitude to your look? Go for a haircut with jagged ends. The uneven, choppy layers add interesting texture and require minimal effort to style.
@thewidowspeakparlor
To prompt the natural inward curve, ask your stylist for a graduated cut. They will cut your hair at an angle, with the hair underneath slightly shorter than the hair on top.
@satubarc
To keep your hair snowy white and pure, steer clear of colored hair products as they can deposit pigment on the hair shaft. Instead, go for white or clear formulas.
@novaperruquers
Wavy hair lends itself well to relaxed, effortless styles. Apply some texturizing product on your hair and use your fingers to gently tousle and separate the waves.
@tayhawkinshair
This elegant hairstyle combines the length of a bob haircut and the layered structure of a pixie. Styled with a graceful mid-shaft wave, it’s fit for anything from a cocktail party look to a mother of the bride ‘do.
@sandra.estilista
This is one look that takes little to no styling time. Apply a dollop of a volumizing mousse and blow dry your hair using your fingers to lift the roots.
@alicia.vogelwild_styling
This haircut can be styled in so many ways! “Use a soft volume hairspray for a full body look, texture hairspray, pomade, or wax for piecey-ness, and a shine spray for overall illumination and smoothness,” Madison-based stylist Ericka Rolack consults.
@behindthehairbyericka
For an edgy, contemporary look, a bixie with an undercut is a way to go. The contrast between the intriguing undercut and the longer top layers adds a modern twist to the classic cut.
@noordinarysalon_york
This cut preserves all the volume and thickness of the hair. But for the hairstyle not to look too bulky, the shorter top layers with lived-in, frayed ends are added.
@dudumerone
A short haircut on curly hair takes an expert to carry out! Search for portfolios of stylists in your area that specialize in curly cuts.
@dri_cachosoficial
The combination of warm-tone surface highlights and a well-executed cut accentuates the thickness, shine, and natural beauty of the hair.
@eli_guariniello
To make the layers pop, you’ll need some contrast for them to stand out. Specialists from HBA Salon added some lowlights and a toning service to emphasize the layers.
@hbasalon
Both growing out your hair and lopping it off can be an inspiring experience. Besides, you’ll have tons of adorable hairstyles to try along the way.
@nadineboulterhair
What a delightful contrast! The gentle natural wave is juxtaposed with short, choppy bangs. Oval and heart-shaped faces fare well with this type of bangs.
@emhaircreations
Disconnected layers are great for thick hair since they lighten it and add texture without much texturizing. But for thin hair, those can look stringy and make it appear even thinner.
@johannaatxhair
This style works well with straight or slightly wavy hair, as it helps to maintain the clean, defined shape of the cut.
@amelie_become_you
Delicate, soft as a feather, and oh-so-touchable! Play up the best qualities of your hair with the right haircut that accentuates its texture.
@hair.by.alexandriab
Hairstyles with a side part are extremely flattering for just about any face shape. Side parts add angles to round faces, soften the strong features of square faces, and break up the length of oblong face shapes.
@silviarodriguez_salon
This style has a slightly elongated back section that playfully curls up and complements the feathered layers on top. Together they create an airy and voluminous look.
@hair_by_amber_at_phoenix_salon
A smooth crop pairs really well with curtain bangs. They frame the forehead and form pleasing angles around the cheek area.
@travisty_styles
We are crushing hard on this adorable bouncy hairstyle! It outperforms itself showing off the natural curl pattern and silver strands woven into the mane.
@milajubastudio
To support this signature shape, invest in a quality round brush. Lift the hair with the brush to direct the blow dryer at the roots for volume and then roll the brush under the ends of your hair to create a rounded shape.
@frisorsignatur
The beautifully stacked curls firmly hold the shape of the cut and flaunt a cloud of silky ringlets. Paired with a short fringe, this hairstyle will look magnificent with glasses.
@totalhairconcept
Shorter in the back, this haircut reaches just below the jawline with its longer front strands. An A-line cut looks good both with or without bangs.
@estherbrol
This hairstyle received some serious beach wave treatment! We can feel the warmth of the sunlight and the salt in the air just looking at it.
@clap.spa
The soft, subdued texture of this style screams lushness! The hair is full, silky, and living its best life. Add volumizing shampoo and conditioner to your hair care routine for the same effect.
@wavelengthsdurham
A well-cut side bang can give you umpteen ways to style your hair. Blend it with the rest of the layers, style across your forehead, pin to the side, or slick it back.
@roosepereira
A modern short-to-medium cut maintains a balance between elegance and effortless expression of individual style. It adds softness, structure, or lift at all the right spots, making short hair anything but boring. A confident cut should feel as good as it looks.
