Flattering hairstyles in your 60s

As we get a little older our hair starts to change. It can thin out, change texture, get drier and above all go grey. Our facial features change too. You may start to find that the hairstyle you sported in your 40s will no longer suit you.

You would be surprised how your hair can impact your life. If your hair looks fantastic, you will feel fantastic. We believe all women deserve to look and feel their best – and here at Starts at 60 Style we think you should start at the top (of your head that is!)

Here are our favourite haircuts and styling tips to give you your most flattering hair yet!

Cropped Bob

Perfect for all types of hair. The rounder your face, the longer the length is best. Keep this soft with tousled layers. This is definately one of my favourite styles as it is very flattering.

Choppy Lob

This style is terrific for everyone. This lob is a very flattering style – especially if you have a round face. The layers create movement and keep you looking young.

Soft Side Part

Centre parts can be harsh. Side soft parts are much more flattering. They also help to highlight your cheekbones.

Soft around the face

You know it’s funny: I read somewhere that as you get older you have to choose between ‘bangs or botox’! Seriously? Well I will say one thing: having your hair soft around your face will make you look younger. It softens your features and it will also help protect the skin on your forehead from the damaging effects of the sun. Framing your face is always a much kinder look than having your hair scraped harshly back from your face, highlighting all blemishes.

We hope you have found these style tips useful. Your hair is important, so take care of it and enjoy it!
