Finding the right hairstyle after 60 can be a game-changer for your look and confidence. Medium bobs with layers offer the perfect blend of style, manageability, and youthful flair without requiring hours of maintenance.
These versatile cuts work beautifully with changing hair textures and can take years off your appearance while keeping you looking fashionable.
1. The Classic Layered Bob
Never underestimated, this timeless cut falls just below the chin with subtle layers throughout. The classic gelaagde bob frames your face beautifully while adding movement and volume where you need it most.
Perfect for straight or slightly wavy hair textures, it requires minimal styling time.
2. Soft A-Line with Face-Framing Layers
Slightly longer in front and shorter in back, this modern take creates beautiful movement around your face. Wispy layers soften the look while the A-line structure provides lift at the crown.
Women with fine hair particularly love this style for its volume-boosting effects.
3. The Textured Shoulder-Grazer
Reaching just to the shoulders, this breezy cut features choppy layers that create fantastic texture. The longer length offers styling versatility while the layers prevent the dreaded “helmet hair” look.
Ideal for women who want options but hate complicated styling routines.
4. Feathered Layers Bob
Remember Farrah Fawcett’s iconic feathered look? This modern interpretation brings that same flattering movement but in a more sophisticated, age-appropriate package.
The feathered layers around the face soften features while adding beautiful dimension to thinning hair.
5. Stacked Back with Side-Swept Bangs
Volume at the back, style at the front! This architectural cut creates fullness through stacked layers at the nape while side-swept bangs add a youthful touch.
The combination works wonders for women with naturally straight hair who want shape without fuss.
6. The Shaggy Layered Lob
Borrowing from the 70s shag revival, this longer bob (lob) features plenty of tousled layers for a carefree, youthful vibe. The beauty lies in its deliberate messiness – the more lived-in it looks, the better!
Embraces natural texture beautifully.
7. Graduated Bob with Wispy Ends
Sophistication meets ease in this graduated style that’s slightly angled from back to front. The wispy, textured ends remove weight and create movement while maintaining a polished silhouette.
