In their 60s, women may opt for short bob hairstyles that combine classic cuts and modern trends to result in excellent volumetric appearance.
This style is loved by many regardless of their age group. Emily Patrick, a senior cutting & blonding and extension specialist agrees with this.
Cornell says: “It goes with anything and can be worn from day into evening.” It can be straight or curly, it can have bangs or not, and it can be any color you want it to be. She also mentions interior layers and subtle angles.
Still, the hair should suit your neck’s length according to Cornell. A longer neck will make the hair flow more gracefully while a shorter one will cause the hair to stick out at the shoulders.
Before deciding on a bob haircut, think about your daily life routine.
Short styles require regular maintenance so as to look good and retain their shape e.g., trims every 6 – 8 weeks.
