As the air becomes chilly and the days start getting shorter, the desire to make a slight reinvention always sets in. Winter always encourages us to reassess our appearance, after all, why not usher in the new year with a new cut of hair that feels fresh, stylish and entirely you? The big question, however, is what styles are best with women who are over 60 and who are sophisticated but not too comfortable? And what about deciding between a lengtheness pixie, a medium length bob or even a long shag which is softly layered when the season itself suggests comfort and warmth?
I have compiled 25 winter haircut ideas that not only flatter, but also empower right below. These looks are compatible with each type of texture, such as fines, coarse, short curly, or smooth and straight and are customized to bring out your natural beauty. You want to bend over a shorter bob or a bixie, or just leave your hair to flow softly and in romantic waves–there is something in this that will get you going. Let us explore the initial range of appearances.
Feathered White Layers with Movement
This short shag-inspired cut is given life by soft feathered layers. The snowy white color is a perfect match with bangs, which are soft and light in shade making the style light and young. The crown is big and the sides are soft tapered which makes this one of those winter cuts on hair in women who are over 60 years that feel old fashioned and new at the same time.
In order to keep it light, I would always suggest a volumizing mousse, such as Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse, to add weight without being gluey. The movement can easily be brought out by use of a round brush and light blow-dry. The best thing about this cut is that it is a simple short cut that appears well groomed with very little styling.
In my opinion this haircut is the best way of forgetting that shorter hair does not necessarily involve sacrificing tenderness. Stylist to celebrities Chris McMillan has frequently commented that layers add instant life and here you can see just that. It is a carefree yet stylish look that almost made winter winds carve it out themselves.
I also like the way this style puts the eyes in perspective it is a flirtatious style that is not too bold. In the case of women who do not afford to spend hours in the process of styling their hair, everyday glamour becomes their natural style with this haircut.
Curly Layers with Gentle Bangs
This is taken up herein a playful, softly curled look that is a merge of medium short layering and face-framing bangs. Hair is not thick but not heavy, which creates a friendly and energetic impression. The curls are organized in such a way that they appear to be not only deliberate but also casual and therefore, this makes it one of those shag leaning shapes that are everlasting in winter.
To maintain it, a curl cream, such as Ouidad Advanced Climate Control, can be applied to smooth waves without frizzes particularly in drier winter weather. The diffuser is your new friend here, and it adds more curls to the style at the same time making it bouncy. This hairstyle is ideal to the person who likes a short, curly figure, without complications.
As an individual, I believe there is something reinvigorating about the combination of curls and bangs. It is young yet not obligatory. Hairstylist Justine Marjan frequently reminds her that curls help add character and I could not agree more. There is a fireside quality about this cut–just right in winter weekends.
In some cases, winter cuts must be fun. It is the type of style that is simply a quick confidence enhancer, but it is also fun and classy, and it works best with a pair of cool glasses.
Chic Salt-and-Pepper Pixie Bob
It is a short pixie with a bob-like head-on-top, also known as a bixie; it is all about texture and adorableness. The salt-and-pepper shades are very effective in combination with the stratified structure that provides depth and intensity to hair of a fine type. Its length is not too long and is short enough to be considered low-maintenance, but is long enough to be styled in various ways.
This type of hair find works well in a lightweight texturizing spray, such as Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray to get the effect of lift. It is one of these shorter cuts that do not go flat even in hats or scarves.
I have always been fond of the fact that this haircut has a touch of class and flair. Stylist Sally Hershberger has been a champion of pixie-inspired edgy cuts on older women, and shown short does not equal lack of style. This cut seems to me contemporary, functional and never-endingly flattering.
It is also very flexible. One day it is wearable in its messy and playful form, and the next day in its well-groomed and elegant style. There was no season more unsuitable to a versatile cut than winter.
Romantic Long Shag with Waves
This is a much longer, layered cut, softly flowing, with the best of the long shag shape. The cascading strands are gently framing the face and the natural silver gives a poetic touch. It is casually equestrian but is lifted up, ideal to wear on frosty afternoons in warm-up garments.
Care is simple but essential. The ends remain smooth in the dry winter winds using a hydrating leave-in conditioner such as Redken One United. I would also recommend that one sleep on a silk pillowcase in order to maintain such waves.
This style is personal to me, because I have always liked longer hair telling a story. One of Hollywood colorists, Tracey Cunningham, regularly mentions that natural silver mixed into layers provide the effect of a dimension and her work is no different, and that is what is occurring here.
I adore the fact that this cut brings a sense of confidence. It does not follow the fashions–it establishes its own pace. And in the case of women who are above 60, that is incredibly empowering.
Polished Short Bob with Side Sweep
A smoothed bob with a side-swept finish slightly stacked is a bold winter statement. The short length of the line makes it easy to style, whereas the cheekbones and jawline are accentuated by the clean lines. It is classy, crisp and eternal – the epitome of sophistication.
To style, I would suggest a smoothing serum – I use the invisible oil of bumble and bumble Hairdresser. It maintains the strands frizz-free and silky even in winter hat. This short bob suits the thick haired women especially because the structure holds everything in place.
I always thought that a short bob of this kind is the haircut version of a fresh white shirt full of clean, versatile, and always trendy features. Such specialists as Jen Atkin tend to remind us that simplicity can be the most effective option sometimes, and I could not agree more.
The remarkable thing about this cut is its flexibility. You can wear it smooth on the evenings out and lightly dishevelled when you are out to play. Anyhow, it is winter chic at its best.
Golden Blonde Bob with Feathered Bangs
The style of this hairstyle exudes warmth and grace and its lightly golden-blonde color and bangs made of fine feathers. Its form is tilted to a medium length bob light enough to provide bounce and lightness around the face, but polished enough to be suitable in winter. The lightness is how this cut has become classic and new at the same time, and it is a fabulous decision that should be made by a woman wanting a flattering haircut on women over 60 that will make her complexion radiant.
Pureology Hydrate is a color-safe shampoo that I would recommend in order to take care of this fashion as it requires special care during cold seasons. A volumizing spray is light and does not put any weight to the bob and a round brush blow-dry will showcase the movement of the layers well.
This is my personal favorite because a blonde bob like this reflects the light in even the gloomyest winter mornings. Hairstylist Kim Vo has frequently testified to the magic of their work on old hair, flattening features and imparting vitality to them. This hairstyle proves it all, so bright and yet not excessive.
This is a cutting that is effectively elegant, the type that can work beautifully with a warm sweater or a nice coat. It is a quick confidence booster and a perennial seasonal pick.
