Bob With Bangs Advice for Women Over 60
Bobs are a great low-stress hairstyle for women over 60. However, though they’re relatively easy to maintain, there are a few important steps to take to make sure this cut looks good for as long as possible.
- As we age, our hair gets weaker and more prone to damage, especially if you’ve used a lot of heat or chemical products throughout your life. One of the first signs of damaged hair is dryness. Use a hydrating shampoo, like this one from Moroccanoil, 1-3 times a week to keep your hair soft and healthy if your hair is its natural color. If you’re also dying your locks, use a shampoo like this one from Biolage instead.
- Pair your shampoo with a conditioner for dry, brittle, or damaged hair, like this one by Redken, for extra softness and hydration, giving your hair a healthy bounce and body.
- If you’ve always been prone to dry hair, replace your conditioner with a hydrating hair mask, like this one from Moroccanoil, a few times a month.
- Hot water can also damage hair, affecting the look, texture, and health of your locks. Try to make sure you use lukewarm or even cold water to rinse your hair. To keep your hair out of the stream of warm water when not washing it, use a shower cap like this one from NPW.
- You can also boost your hair’s natural hydration with an elixir oil like this one from Kerastase. Just comb a few drops through your hair after your shower.
- Depending on your hair texture, you might have to coax your bob or bangs into your desired style with heat. Whether you’re using a flat iron, curling barrel, or just a simple hair dryer, make sure to use a heat protectant like this one from Chi. That way, you won’t have to worry about ruining your cut with excess breakage.
- Consider changing your brush to ensure your locks are styled exactly how you want them. A round brush like this one from Paul Mitchell is perfect for styling bangs and can even be used to help style your hair while you dry it.
- One big reason bobs are such a popular haircut with mature women is that they help conceal the natural hair thinning that occurs with age. To make sure your bob cut is still thick and healthy, consider using an anti-hair loss vial 1-3 times a week. Just massage a serum, like this one from Kerastase, into your scalp for a few minutes to help promote growth.
- Though hair growth tends to slow a little with age, bobs, and bangs, need to be touched up, especially if you want to maintain the same style for a while. Plan to get a professional trim every 4-6 weeks or so.
