A French bob is chin length with a fringe, cut blunt and worn with a bit of nonchalance, and the shaggy version takes the same shape and breaks up the ends. The result keeps the outline of the original while losing the precision, which is what makes it wearable on hair that is no longer thick.
The mini fringe is the signature. Shorter than a standard fringe, sitting somewhere between the brow and the mid-forehead, and cut soft rather than solid. It is a bolder choice than a curtain fringe and considerably less work, because there is not enough length for it to fall wrong. On a face with strong features it is excellent. On a very high forehead it is worth being cautious.
The shaggy layering is what handles fine hair. Ends left staggered rather than blunt stop the perimeter looking thin, because separated pieces read as texture rather than as sparseness. Rounded volume at the crown does the rest, lifting the shape so it does not sit flat against the head.
Fifty shaggy French bobs follow in silver, chestnut, golden, rose-copper, auburn and salt and pepper, at chin and jaw length, with wispy mini fringes, flipped ends, side sweeps and rounded crowns. The fringe is the decision here. Everything else in the cut is comparatively forgiving.
Textured Shaggy Bob with Easy Volume
To take this compliment in any way you wish, this kind of haircut has the ability to make fine to medium hair look more voluminous than it actually is. The hair ends don’t appear thin and dull because the layers are soft, staggered, and just the right kind of wavy to create movement. The texture of the waves also helps and prevents it from looking flat. Those highlights are an amazing addition. They are bright and give the face an illuminated look even if the highlights are not natural. If you do get a haircut like this, be prepared to come in for a trim every 6 weeks. You will lose the look as the layers grow out and become uneven and it will not look great.
Airy Jaw-Length Shag with Side-Swept Fringe
This look is all about movement! The side-swept bangs and internal point-cut layers give the hairstyle a light, breezy feel, which is beautiful on fine to medium hair with natural waves. I’ve done similar cuts on many of my clients in their sixties who wanted styles that were relaxed, yet polished. There is a natural crown cowlick, and in this instance, it is actually beneficial because it creates lift. These are the happy accidents that you learn to work with, and this style flatters oval and heart-shaped faces the most. It also helps soften the look in the face around the temples, especially when that area is less full. One thing I do want to caution is that if your face is more round, that fullness on the cheek area may exaggerate the roundness in that part of your face, so for that, I would reposition the layering. A quick pass with a round brush and dryer or a root gloss keeps the hair shiny for styling and between washes.
Rounded Chin-Length Bob with Lifted Crown and Wispy Mini Fringe
I envision this style for clients with wavy or loosely curly hair types who are looking for something soft and feminine with minimal styling. The shorter internal layers lift the sections exactly where most women over sixty desire. A mini fringe is sufficiently wispy to not feel heavy or dated, but still calls attention to the eyes. The diagonal point cutting at the temples creates beautiful lived-in separation as though the hair just fell there. The root smudged warm copper color also cleverly softens any regrowth which is more appealing than a harsh line. Very coarse hair may bulk out more in this shape. A diffuser or good styling cream will be necessary for some hold.
Layered Wispy Silver Bob with Flipped Ends
Silver hair and this cut are a match made in heaven. The radial layers and light razor texturizing will give fine hair some body without sacrificing what you have. Plus, the outward flip at the ends is built into the cutting technique, so you won’t have to worry about that. The natural wave will take care of the rest. The crown lift is from a subtle cowlick, and you worked with it more than you fought against it, which is exactly as you should approach those. For an oval shape, I like the softness of the face framing here. You’ll need a light styling cream to keep the micro-fringe in place. An occasional root tone treatment to keep the toning brassiness under control, but otherwise, this is pretty low maintenance considering how polished it looks.
Chestnut Rounded Shaggy Bob at Chin Length
I liked how this cut tackles the transition process to being gray. The warm lowlights really help with not making the hair look like something is being concealed. Point cutting layers on the inside give crown lift without needing product, and with mid density wavy hair this look really does air dry, and I don’t say that often. The short layers around the face are nice, but will add an extra minute or two each morning. If your hair is thick and coarse, make sure to consult with your stylist on where to thin it out as this shape can get bulky on the sides.
Golden Shaggy French Bob with Wispy Seamed Fringe
This hairstyle is flattering for most. It hits right at the jawline which is softening to the chin and neck areas, and avoids being too short. The soft wispy bangs are gorgeous. When done well, they can really lighten up the face. Point cut texturizing with some compression at the crown gives you good lift. The warm golden blonde color with lowlights and smudged roots is beautiful and very forgiving as it grows out. The only issue is humidity. That micro fringe can separate and look sparse when it’s wet out and if your ends are thinner, you don’t want your stylist to over-texturize.
Rose-Copper Textured Chin-Length Bob
Unlike other shades, rose copper gives off a stunning warmth that compliments all skin tones, as it photographs beautifully while in person, it gives off stunning warmth, and with that, it is a great option for a woman in her sixties who may be starting to develop a cool complexion. The cut is simple. The style is clean and ends are softly razored with a micro fringe that is super wisp. The placement shows intent. The root shadow adds depth and does not create a stark grow out line. From a styling perspective this is a low heat and low maintenance look which, if your hair has become more fragile, will be super beneficial. On the contrary, the fringe and rose tones will require frequent maintenance which contradicts that. You will need a toning treatment every few weeks and a trim on the bangs to keep everything looking purposed.
Salt-and-Pepper Shaggy Textured French Bob
If you feel that coloring your hair is no longer a suitable option, and changing your hair completely is not something you are ready for, it is a good option. The salt and pepper root blend blends with your natural roots and allows you to attend color appointments less frequently while also keeping your hair looking multidimensional, as opposed to an all-over gray. This shaggy style with micro bangs and razor textured layers is also youthful without being too trying. This is particularly good on fine to medium straight hair, although you will need to use a texturizing product to keep it from looking flat, and those bangs will need a trim every 3-4 weeks.
Warm Auburn Rounded Bob with Textured Micro-Bangs
I try to spend time working on micro-bangs. They can be difficult to correct, and all it takes is one miscalculation with the scissors and they could be too thick around the brows or too thin and gone before lunch. Lucky for me, this stylist nailed it, with precision cuts placed perfectly over my brows and just the right amount of texture to be soft to the touch. The rounded graduation through the bob body disguises a small cowlick at the crown and adds to a beautiful shape that really highlights green and hazel eyes. A single-process auburn gloss keeps the warmth but to bright blondes it can go flat and muddy, so a gloss will be needed to keep the warmth. The cut layers on the inside combined with the razor-textured layers create a movement that is a bit tricky to achieve and I must say is harder to achieve than it looks.
Tousled Chin-Length Bob with Rounded Mini Fringe
I notice that the half inch darker root band is a good detail as it helps grow out become part of the style instead of something to be chased. The choppy interior layers along with the uneven ends create a lived in look. This bob sits nicely at the crown and when paired with a rounded mini fringe it gives the appearance of added volume at the crown. It looks especially nice on oval and heart shaped faces. During the warmer months a texturizer will be needed to control frizz along with some light shaping on the fringe to keep it looking intentional instead of overgrown.
Auburn Feathered Jaw-Length Bob with Crown Lift
I won’t lie, Auburn is a little more of a commitment than some of the other styles and will require glazing more regularly if you want to keep it from going into that washed out territory. With a cut like this, the fringe may also need a little light heat to settle in the morning. However, when this style is maintained, the feathered jaw length bob ends up looking really nice. With the heat and internal thinning, she removes bulk from medium dense hair which gives it real lift at the crown, and the movement of the layers feels natural instead of overly styled. For mature oval and heart-shaped faces, it brings this eye opening quality that softens without aging. This may not be the lowest maintenance option and the style won’t work for everyone, but when it is right, the style is a payoff for the commitment.
Layered Chin-Length French Bob with Rounded Micro-Fringe
I want to point out something most people probably wouldn’t notice: those little wispy bits at the back of the neck. They serve as a natural softener for the neckline. If you’ve ever had a bob that was too severe at the back, you’ll know how important this is. The rest of the haircut is also quite intentional. A combination of internal crown layering and soft-end razoring provides lift and texture, and a low-contrast root blend with silver gives depth and dimension without the upkeep. This looks best on fine to medium hair and is especially suited for oval to heart-shaped faces. A light mousse or a small amount of pomade will be needed for frizz control, and the fringe will require regular upkeep, but the back of this haircut makes it all worthwhile.
Short Layered French Bob with Wispy Micro-Fringe
This cut plays smart with a crown cowlick by adding some internal layering so the growth pattern creates volume rather than being a problem. Razor point texturing at the ends helps to keep everything light and airy and the babylights blend grays nicely and soft without that totally processed appearance. This works nicely for fine to medium hair with a bit of a wave. Keep in mind the micro fringe will need shaping every day, and I would avoid this if you have very coarse hair or extremely thin and fine hair because, in both cases, the fringe will be more hassle than it is worth.
Rounded Razored Jaw-Length French Bob with Soft Fringe
I appreciate the organic cut’s imbalance. The small flip on the left side lifts the cut’s overall look because instead of it being a heavy cut with a structured design, it adds movement. Some of the techniques like razoring and point cutting bring movement to the cut. Most oval faces, including yours, will be complemented by the fringe that grazes the eyebrows and the rounded shape, especially with the chestnut hair and gentle babylights warmth. The soft root shadow will blend beautifully with your warm chestnut hair color as it grows in. For those who like it, it will look wonderful in pictures. The only possible con is having a good anti-frizz product. This style might not work as well for you if your hair is super coarse and stick straight, but if not, it should lay beautifully.
Shaggy French Bob with Feathered Micro-Bangs
Copper-strawberry is a warm shade that surprisingly compliments fair skin with freckles and offers something cooler shades can’t. The root shadow will prevent you from having a hard line as it grows, which is nice. The razor point texturizing lightens the edges and the micro bangs open the face without a full heavy fringe. A natural crown cowlick will give this cut built in lift, which is ideal for fine to medium hair. The color will require maintenance and on very coarse hair the whispiness may get lost, but for the right hair type, this is one of the more effortless looking options here.
Blonde Shaggy French Bob with Wispy Curtain Fringe
Right now, curtain fringes are topping the charts and rightly so. Especially for women over sixty, they add a framing touch to the face without closing off the whole area like a standard fringe does. This style has internal layering as well as some crown-raising forward-weighing ends which assist in softening the area around the eyes and cheek bones. The slide-cutting method combined with point texturing assists in achieving that effortless look. Fine hair that is loose, limp, and fine will require a daily texturizing product and you will struggle with humidity even more, but it will look good and the shape with the root smudge and some low lights will grow out nicely.
Plum-Shaded Choppy French Bob with Micro-Wisps
I don’t generally love recommending fashion colors, but if the skin tone and confidence are there, then amethyst or plum root melts can be truly gorgeous. It conceals gray hair in a way that feels intended and more modern than simply hiding it. The cut is solid, point cut, and razor textured with a soft micro fringe and natural crown lift. What you need to know is that this color is going to require more work than a natural color, along with a light matte paste for the piece-y texture and consistent toning to keep the plum from fading to something less desirable. If you are not into color maintenance, this probably isn’t your cut. If you are, then it is an absolutely gorgeous option.
Warm Copper Shaggy French Bob with Face-Framing Fringe
Babylights in front of the face framing layers accentuate the face. This is also an example where an all over color is not necessary. Furthermore, short internal layers with point cutting are meant for providing lift to fine and medium hair, and a soft micro fringe is light enough to be worn every day to school without being noticed. For this style, I suggest asking your stylist for interior graduation and a subtle root melt so that you can avoid frequent color maintenance. The trade off is bangs do tend to be a bit of a hassle in hot and humid weather because they require daily smoothing and heavy texturizing can lead to more frizz.
Radial Layered Chin-Length Bob with Root Shadow
Radial pivot layers is a relatively new technique that opens up a new type of crown lift that normal layers just can’t give. For fine to medium hair with a bit of wave this cut can seem effortless, but those layers are a lot of work. The root shadow and growth-friendly lowlights are excellent ways to blend the grays as they grow in. This can make a big difference for women in their sixties as it extends the time between color appointments from monthly to every eight to ten weeks. The ultimate look for this style may require a blowout along with some hot tool styling, and may be too coarse or tightly curled for very curly hair, but for the right texture it is one of the most elegant shapes on this list.
Rosy Copper Choppy Jaw-Length French Bob
People tend to either really like rosy copper tones right off the bat or they really like it once they see it in person. Because rosy hair copper might look different depending on your undertones, it is common for clients to ask for a test strip. The hair color works better when it is more distributed throughout the entirety of the hair more than at the tips. The tones are warm, but not orange or pink, more like a combination of both, which is very unique. The soft wispy bangs and texturized ends create a modern look that’s casual yet still adds some edge to it. The slight taper in the back will create more structure and depth in the back. The rosy tones will fade fast, so get ready to tone the hair frequently! Razor texture will create more of the uneven feathery look which will need more frequent reshaping than a blunt cut would need.
Piecey Textured Chin-Length French Bob with Root Shadow
Your new haircut may help accentuate your grey hairs instead of providing a distraction from them. The soft root shadow blends in with your grey to the point that it becomes a feature that does not need to be covered. The slight cowlick is beneficial for adding height, and the razor cuts create movement in your hair that is highly needed with the fine to medium waves. The short crown layers are very beneficial with the movement as well. This cut is ideal for heart and oval face shapes and instantly refreshes your look, plus you don’t need to lose too much length. Some root lift and texturizing products will be very beneficial and it will take a bit to achieve your desired look. Don’t be surprised if it looks different each time because it does take a bit.
Textured French Bob with Root Melt and Micro-Fringe
I appreciate this French bob with texture. I believe the stylist made a good decision in keeping it simple. I appreciate the micro-fringe; it is clean and precise without being excessive. There is enough movement from the razor texturizing. This stylist even used the natural crown cowlick for helpful lift instead of letting it be detrimental. The root melt is good because it blends the gray, and the whole style air dries good. It is rare for a style to be this intentional. The only thing I would change is that the fringe could use some more length, but find a stylist who is detail oriented for that, and a gloss treatment every so often keeps the gray blend looking fresh.
Chestnut French Bob with Shaggy Crown Layering
The crown layering really helps define this cut. It’s all about adding shaggy layers on top for that extra volume, whilst having a soft wispy micro-fringe that helps highlight the eyes without taking over the whole face. The point cut texture throughout the body of the hair helps maintain the overall balance so that it’s not looking too round or too heavy on one side. For fine to medium wavy hair, we suggest using a curl cream to achieve this look. The slight temple babylights with a natural root shadow will give you a bit of dimension without having to spend three hours in the salon chair. This isn’t the best for very coarse straight hair as the shaggy bits won’t move the same way, but for most textures it’s a really adaptable and nice shape.
Auburn Shaggy Chin-Length Bob with Micro-Fringe
What I value from this interpretation is appreciating the gray strands at the temples as highlights instead of something to cover. It is a small shift in thinking that transforms the whole disposition of that color, which is warm auburn, with those little silver strands that reflect light and add more interest. The point-cut layers combined with a slight crown cowlick help achieve more airy lift and the micro-fringe is soft enough to be approachable. This is particularly flattering on oval to round faces over sixty. It can be frizz-prone depending on your environment and careful texturizing is needed to maintain the inward flip and to keep the fringe looking more neat than messy, but the overall effect is very natural and easy.
Textured Bob with Wispy Curtain Fringe and Beige Lowlights
Another option clients may consider when wanting to soften their grays without going blonde is beige lowlights on a warm brown base. The razor-textured ends give the bob that lived-in quality. Soft curtain bangs finish the look and the style can be air dried to create a relaxed look. It will appear like you spent a lot of time getting it done when in fact you did very little. This style works best for fine to medium hair and a natural wave, too. Sometimes hair can get tricky and look flat if it is thinner towards the ends. Asking for light internal layering helps with that. A demi-permanent lowlight gives you the blend without the commitment.
Airy Choppy Bob with Micro-Fringe and Cool Platinum
The platinum and warm lowlights together provide depth as opposed to a single silver that can wash people out. A choppy razor cut looks lighter and move at the very top, which is often where women in their sixties pull up the most. Some shorter layers at the top will make it more effortless as you won’t be fighting gravity first thing every day. This will need some styling paste along with some slicing and texturing to hold the shape as it grows out , and it won’t sit very nicely on coarser and heavier hair due to the weight. For fine to medium density, this is a polished but not overly complicated option for oval faces.
Shoulder-Length Shaggy French Bob with Soft Bangs
Of the styles shown, this is the longest example. Falling at shoulder length instead of chin or jaw height, it affect the shaggy texture in a positive way The soft, layered bangs add dimension and frame the face, while the length in the rest of the cut allows it to move freely. This adds a liveliness to fine to medium hair that is often lost at shorter lengths. The subtle highlights bring warmth and depth to the hair without it looking overly highlighted. This haircut is truly versatile and fairly low maintenance, as long as you stay on top of shaping the internal layers. If you let them grow into each other, the cut will lose all of its energy.
Textured Bob with Bangs and Strategic Layering
The most noticeable feature of the layers is their ability to give thin hair the impression of more volume while remaining light enough to keep its natural movement. The length is also very adaptable, hair that is just above the shoulders is easy to put up as well as being long enough to style in a variety of different ways. The bangs add a more youthful appearance to the style but aren’t so thick or wispy to be overwhelming. This is a nice low maintenance haircut that will likely suit a variety of occasions. A quick spritz of volumizing root spray may be in order, particularly if fine hair tends to become flat by the afternoon.
Shaggy Bob with Volume-Building Layers
You have thinner hair and feel like every haircut makes this more obvious? Consider soft layers! They create an illusion of thickness, and the bangs will help draw attention to your face and not down to where you might have less hair. It’s best to keep the length above the shoulders to give yourself some styling flexibility! This will work with thinning hair, not just overly pretending it’s not a factor, but it will require some upkeep. It will likely need to be trimmed more often than a blunt cut, but the shape will be worth it!
Silver Shaggy Bob with Feathered Face-Framing
Feathered layers look stunning on silver hair and give a light and airy effect. The cut offers movement without the extra weight so she can feel free to have some bulk! The length is just above shoulder length so color shines best on this length. The cut feels light and airy on fine to medium density hair and gray looks dull when hair is weighed down, so it’s ideal with silver. To keep this airy feeling, the hair will need to be regularly maintained to keep the shape around the face tidy, especially the feathered pieces which can lose their direction and look messy. The cut is best on oval and heart-shaped faces and offers versatility for different looks without needing too many changes.
Textured Chin-Length Shaggy Bob with Subtle Warmth
ROOT HIGHLIGHTS BREAK UP SOLID BANDS OF COLOR AND GIVE A MORE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL EFFECT. WITH FINE HAIR, IT’S CRUCIAL TO HAVE THE RIGHT CUT TO KEEP THE MOVEMENT IN THE HAIR. A MODERN CLASSIC CUT WITH SOME SHAGGY ENDS TO BREAK UP THE BOXINESS OF THE CUT. CHIN LENGTH HAIIR CUTS FLATTER OVAL AND HEART SHAPED FACES AND THE FRAME IS SUPER FLATTERING AS IT WON’T ELONGATE THE FACE IN ANY WAY. THE TRADE OFF OF A CUT LIKE THIS IS THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BUT THE GOOD PART IS THAT IT’S MAINTAINED IN THE LENGTH OF THE HAIRCUT.
Textured Shaggy Bob with Natural Curls
Chin-length bob hairstyles with soft, textured layers are great for those of you who like to be able to wear your natural waves and/or curls. Each curl gets to have something to hold onto, adding to your volume, and movement while avoiding the bob-triangle effect that many curly hairs default to. While every hair type has its benefits, this particular hairstyle will be best for fine and medium density hair. Although it requires less maintenance than a style that needs to be shaped every day, this haircut does require a bit of upkeep in the form of regular trims to keep the layers looking defined. Otherwise, a lot of the hair weight will end up pulling the curls and waves out.
Curly Shaggy Bob in Warm Orange
I think this is a lovely and bold choice. I love the warm and powerful effect of the orange. Also, the curls look so alive and youthful in a way that is not trying to look younger, if that makes sense! With fine to medium hair density, curls give the illusion of a lot more hair which is a definite plus. The shoulder length looks good and keeps things easy to manage. The honest truth is that it is a lot of maintenance to keep both the color and curl definition. You will have to get some curl defining products and keep color appointments to keep the orange from fading to a muddy color. If you like this type of maintenance then this is stunning. If you don’t like this or it sounds tiring, check out some of the other options on this list.
Soft Textured Bob with Gentle Movement
Even the simplest haircuts can look great. Soft waves with the occasional layer can give shoulder-length hair more bounce and less boldness than, say, a lob or a blunt cut. There is an effortlessness to it that I think women over sixty want, even when they do not know it. The beauty of this haircut is that a bit of sea salt spray and a quick scrunch, and you are good to go. Some very thick hair will definitely need a little more shaping here and there to keep it from feeling too heavy, but for the most part, this does not require any more maintenance than layered hair to have a finished, polished look.
Layered Shaggy Bob with Bangs That Frame Beautifully
Bangs accentuate and highlight your cheekbones, softening your facial features all around. The layered style allows for structural volume and flow without having to use much product. For cuts that fall around the shoulders, it can be worn as an everyday style or something more sleek for an occasion. This look works best for those with fine to medium hair as it creates a more layered and multifacted styling look without the extra effort. People love to hate bangs because of the maintenance that can be required. If client is a waiting person, then bangs can be a great option. Nothing can soften features like bangs can!
Soft Blonde Shaggy Bob with Textured Choppy Ends
The soft blonde color complements the skin tone and brightens the face in a subtle way, and the choppy ends add a nice touch creating a textured and wind-swept look that keeps the cut from looking too polished or overdone. On finer hair, this looks more airy and light (and makes the most of what you have). The shoulder-length is easy to manage and versatile, although some fine hair may require extra maintenance to keep volume. For many, a root lift and quick blow dry are recommended, but considering the end result, it is worth the time. Oval and heart-shaped faces show this style off particularly well.
Warm Copper Shaggy Bob with Soft Face-Framing Layers
Rich copper is a stunning color and looks beautiful on several different skin tones, especially mature skin as it adds warmth that cooler shades won’t do. The soft layering is very gentle around the frame of the face and the mid-lengths add a playful youthful bounce and are not too short, or too long. With fine to medium density hair, the shaggy texture adds additional movement and liveliness to the look. In terms of upkeep, you will need to come in regularly for trims to maintain that fresh layered look and some anti-frizz maintenance especially if your hair is prone to frizz. Regardless of the upkeep, the color and style work together seamlessly and will age beautifully the longer you go in between appointments.
White Shaggy Bob with Gentle Bangs
Brilliant hair color can be striking, but with uneven maintenance, the color can appear dull. If upkeep is likely to be a challenge, this type of color may not be the best option. This haircut is an example of true artistry. It is a fantastic bob cut with a slightly playful bang style. The bangs provide a softness that enhances the entire look. Furthermore, the ends are gently cut in layers to add texture. The shorter, cheek-length pieces provide a nice frame to the face, accentuating the cheekbones. They also create a nice volume, making the hair appear denser, which is particularly beneficial in fine hair. It demonstrates artistry when there is a lot of layering in the hair design. The brightened and smoothed strands also provide a beautiful contrast that enhances the overall look.
Classic Shaggy Bob with Natural Movement
You can start it off with waves or curls, which provide texture and volume, and finish with a sleek straight look to change up the styling to a cleaner look. The bob reaches down and around the jaw, giving it a very chic and simple look. It ends around the jaw to frame the face really nice. The bangs pull the attention to the face and the subtle layers make it well free from complication. It’s very easy to just tousle and go and make it look effortlessly amazing, especially when it comes from a really fine or medium hair density and type. The bob here shown is also the best for oval and heart shapes since, if you have thicker hair, you have to watch the volume because shaggy layers are really more wide looking than airy. Overall, really a great bob cut. Also it suits a lot of people and really low maintenance.
Soft Grey Shaggy Bob with Face-Framing Layers
Grey hair is healthy and naturally luminescent and this style takes advantage of that. It has face framing layers that encourage movement, and the great texture towards the ends of the hair adds life to the style, while keeping the look youthful and elegant. On fine to medium hair, this will feel nice and airy without being too unweighted. The length at the jawline is especially flattering for all face shapes. Shaggy styles tend to require a little more maintenance than other styles, If you like to push your appointments out 12 weeks or more, it may start looking quite shapeless before your next appointment, so i recommend keeping your appointment every 6-8 weeks to help your hair look more intentional!
Warm Copper Shaggy Bob with Layered Texture
The mix of warmth with a copper hue and layered texture will create a look that is energetic and lively, yet not too over the top. These layers will create fullness with fine to medium density hair and the tousled effect is ideal for adding height and movement around the face, especially for those with round and oval face shapes. Having the length just above the shoulders is a great way to keep the hair length easy to manage and styled. The copper tones will require more maintenance for color touch-ups when compared to a more natural tone, so keep that in mind. It is true that freshly toned copper hair looks amazing, and the cut will keep its shape well between trims.
Ash Blonde Shaggy Bob with Subtle Waves
You shouldn’t commit to an ash blonde color before seeing it on a swatch or a digital mock-up. It can wash out some skin tones. When the tone works for your skin tone, ash blonde looks sleek and modern! And the subtle waves and layered texture of this haircut create great dimension and movement. This mid-length style is easy to manage and works for all face shapes. This style is also easy to manage if your hair is fine to medium in thickness. For shape management of this haircut, regular appointments are needed. After a while, the layers will tend to blend into each other as they grow out. If the waves are done nicely, you can really get away with a relaxed styling routine. Overall, the maintenance and effort are low!
Soft Grey Textured Bob with Side-Swept Bangs
Most people can wear side bangs and look great. Side bangs soften the jawline and draw attention to the cheekbones, plus you don’t have the commitment of having a full fringe. This style frames and softens the face, and adds volume to fine and medium density hair. The practical mid-length is especially youthful for women over sixty. Very thick hair may need to be cut more often to keep it from becoming heavy at the bottom. Most hair types will find this style solid and reliable. It is easy to customize this style for different occasions. You can rest assured that it will take minimal time to get ready in the morning.
Soft Blonde Shaggy Bob with Textured Bangs
The bangs of this cut are a defining feature and soften the face to maintain an approachable feel, and the playful outline of the cut is free from fuss. Fine hair can hold some gentle movement which coupled with the length above the shoulders keeps the style fresh. The style works best with oval and heart shaped faces. To maintain the style, regular trims are a must. Bangs can lose texture and look heavy, disrupting the balance of the cut. However, if bangs are kept up and trimmed regularly, this is a low maintenance style that is very pretty.
Chestnut Shaggy Bob with Warm Dimensional Highlights
The highlights are placed so they will catch the eye and add dimension to the chestnut base. They also create a pleasant effect that is a bit sun-kissed, looking more natural than salon highlights. The soft layers around your face and the shoulder styling allow you to move easily without a lot of excess weight. This style works best on light and medium hair densities. It will take some styling to really show off the shape and the layers, but the fun factor in the colors gives you a lot to work with. If you want to change things up without a huge departure from your natural colors, then this is the best option.
Silver Shaggy Bob with Wispy Bangs at the Jaw
Silver hair looks striking with wispy bangs because the softness of the bangs mirrors the fine wispy texture of the silver hair. A bob at jaw length is also fantastic for exposing the neck and cheekbone structures and the layered texture creates a light airy dimension throughout the style. Light shades like this one can get brassy pretty quickly, so they will need to be toned regularly. For women over sixty, this style offers a bit of personality while being easy to upkeep. That fun texture is what separates this style from a standard silver bob and makes it ideal for the more daring.
Soft Blonde Shaggy Bob with Volume and Textured Ends
This specific haircut is designed with layering for more volume and movement on fine hair, which can easily fall flat without product and styling. These ends will definitely help with that! Also, the lighter blonde shade brightens the hair and helps it reflect more light which creates the illusion of more fullness. This style is perfect for round and heart-shaped faces as it frames the face nicely and doesn’t add any width to the sides. Fine blonde hair tends to dull faster than fine dark hair which means this style will require regular upkeep. With a round brush blow dry and some defining product, this style will really stand out.
Tousled French Bob with Wispy Bangs and Relaxed Curls
Shoulder-length curls look fun and carefree, but it takes a lot of effort to attain that appearance. The wispy bangs skim the face and provide just the right amount of coverage so as not to create any distractions. Whether the hair is fine or medium, the bangs will create a tousled look that gives the hair more volume (as opposed to a bob). This style suits oval and heart-shaped faces best. To ensure the curls stay well-defined, apply a curl-enhancing product once the hair has dried. If you’re looking for a less permanent way to change your look, this is a good option.
Silvery Textured Shaggy Bob with Soft Layering
This haircut has a silvery color and layered texture that combine seamlessly for a sophisticated effect. With a length that falls just below the chin, it will work with most face shapes and the soft layers will provide added movement to the style without it being too high maintenance. To keep the look, it requires regular styling as fine hair has a tendency to fall flat and lose volume by the end of the day. With the right layers though, you can push your appointments out a little longer before needing a trim. Because of this, you can expect to have some added time in between appointments.
Layered Shaggy Bob with Highlighted Texture and Soft Waves
The highlights in this cut seem to enhance the texture and movement of the hair to a level that is hard to achieve with a cut alone. With each turn of the head, the highlights bounce light adding a brightness that is very flattering to women over sixty who want a fresh, modern look. The shoulder length hair with a medium density creates an airy feel. The soft waves add just enough movement to keep the style from feeling too flat. Although this is a layered cut and does require some regular trims to maintain the shape, it is actually very low maintenance. This style is perfect for an early Tuesday trip to the market and even for dinner with friends, and that is all you can ask for.
