Short bob hairstyles for women in their 60s blend classic cuts with modern styling techniques beautifully, making them look stylish and voluminous.
This style is loved by many people of different ages. Emily Patrick, a senior Cutting & Blonding and Extension Specialist highlights its massive popularity.
Cornell states that the hairstyle can be worn with any outfit or easily transitioned from daytime to evening. Suggested options are straight or textured, fringe and colors can also be added to make it more interesting. Inner layers and soft angles will emphasize your beauty features too.
However, Cornell warns that a long neck counts while getting the perfect bob. A longer neckline leads to a flowing hairline whereas shorter ones tend to flip out from your shoulders.
Lifestyle consideration comes first when selecting a bob cut.
To maintain short hairstyles well requires regular trimming (every 6-8 weeks) for healthy-looking styled hair. As Cornell says “You cannot just pull it back into a ponytail or topknot, every morning needs refreshing.”
