As you get older, it can be more and more difficult to find a hairstyle that complements your lifestyle. Faced with thinning hair and ever-changing trends, you can still rock some classic looks throughout your retirement. Here are three women’s hairstyles you should consider during your time in a senior living center.

Fantastic Hairstyles for Older Women

1. Shoulder-Length Layers

As you transition into senior living, you may want a low-maintenance hairstyle, which is why shoulder-length layers are a smart idea. Shoulder-length hairstyles are still versatile enough to allow you to put your hair in a simple braid or ponytail while also allowing you to style your hair down when you want to.

2. The Bob

If you want something short and sleek, consider a bob. As a favorite of mature women around the world—including Anna Wintour and Helen Mirren—bob hairstyles are typically cut at one length or at an angle, with or without bangs. The length often falls at about the jawline. Bobs look chic styled straight, round-brushed, or even curled in loose waves. If you are interested in a bob, talk with your senior living hairstylist about where your hair should hit your face to create the most flattering appearance.

3. The Pixie

As your hair starts to naturally thin, you may want shorter hair that can be tousled to disguise spotty areas. Pixie cuts are short hairstyles that typically have longer bangs, allowing women to use products like mousse and hairspray to add volume. While pixie haircuts look amazing with gray hair, they also look exceptionally modern when styled with pastel hair colors like soft pink or light purple.
