Finding the perfect hairstyle after 60 can feel like a challenge, especially with a rounder face shape. Razor-cut styles offer amazing texture, movement, and face-slimming effects that traditional cuts can’t match.
These modern, low-maintenance options can take years off your appearance while highlighting your best features.
1. Feathered Pixie
Wispy layers around the crown create stunning volume while razor-cut sides slim your face beautifully. The textured top adds height, making your face appear longer.
You’ll love how this style requires minimal styling—just finger-comb with a touch of lightweight mousse!
2. Bob asimmetrico
Longer on one side and gradually shorter on the other, this daring cut creates a slimming diagonal line across round cheeks. Razor-cutting removes bulk while maintaining movement.
Style with a round brush for a polished look or air-dry for effortless texture.
3. Raccolta strutturata
Sharp, choppy layers throughout create fantastic dimension that breaks up fullness in the face. The piecey fringe draws attention to your eyes rather than cheek width.
Run a bit of styling wax through ends for definition that lasts all day.
4. Shag a strati
Remember the iconic shag from the 70s? This modern version features razor-cut layers that frame your face beautifully. The choppy ends create movement that draws the eye downward.
Scrunch in texturizing spray for that perfect lived-in finish.
5. Side-Swept Pixie
Longer on top with a dramatic side sweep, this pixie creates a diagonal line that visually elongates round faces. The razor technique removes weight without sacrificing style.
Blow-dry with a round brush, directing hair across the forehead for maximum face-slimming effect.
6. Bob il taccagno
Hitting just below the chin, this bob’s razor-cut ends create piece-y texture that softens a round face. Subtle layers prevent the dreaded helmet look that can emphasize fullness.
For extra volume, try root-lifting spray before blow-drying.
7. Textured Wedge
A modern take on the classic wedge, this version uses razor-cutting to create soft edges instead of blunt lines. Shorter at the nape and gradually longer toward the face slims fuller cheeks.
Blow-dry with a paddle brush for a sleek finish.
8. Layered Pageboy
The classic pageboy gets a modern makeover with razor-cut layers that remove bulk while maintaining the iconic curved shape. The length hits at the jawline, creating a slimming frame.
Use a large round brush when blow-drying to emphasize the curved ends.
9. Bob con frangia ondulata
Light, airy bangs cut with a razor create a soft frame that doesn’t overwhelm a round face. The wispy texture draws attention to your eyes while the bob length elongates your face.
Dry bangs first, using a small round brush for gentle movement.
10. Graduated Pixie-Bob
Combining pixie shortness at the back with bob length at the front creates a face-slimming angle. Razor-cutting throughout adds movement and removes weight from sides.
Style with fingers and a bit of pomade for definition without stiffness.
11. Tousled Crop
Short all over but with plenty of razor-cut texture on top, this wash-and-wear style gives height where you need it. The piecey finish creates shadows that slim a round face.
Work a pea-sized amount of styling cream through damp hair, then let air-dry.
12. Bob sottocutaneo
Bold and modern, this style features razor-cut layers on top with a subtle undercut at the nape. The contrast creates amazing movement while removing bulk that can make round faces appear fuller.
Blow-dry with a flat brush for sleek sophistication.
13. Piecey Pixie
Ultra-short sides with slightly longer, razor-cut pieces on top create fantastic texture that’s both stylish and slimming. The vertical lines of the piecey sections elongate a round face beautifully.
Rub styling wax between palms and apply to dry hair for definition.
14. Layered Chin-Length Cut
Hitting precisely at the chin, this length creates a vertical line that visually stretches a round face. Razor-cut layers throughout prevent the heaviness that can make faces appear fuller.
Blow-dry with a round brush, flipping ends slightly outward for movement.
15. Tapered Nape Bob
Shorter and closely tapered at the nape, gradually becoming longer toward the face, this cut creates a slimming angle. Razor-cutting removes bulk while maintaining feminine softness.
Style with a flat brush at the nape and round brush for the longer front sections.
16. Soft Spiky Crop
Don’t let the word “spiky” scare you! This modern crop uses razor-cutting to create soft, feathery spikes that add height to elongate round faces. The texture draws the eye upward, not outward.
Apply volumizing mousse to damp hair, then blow-dry using fingers to lift at roots.
