Bangs Hairstyles for Women Above 60
Bangs are an intriguing choice because older women get them for many different reasons. If you’re a woman over 60 and considering getting bangs, you may want to talk to your stylist about what type of bangs will work best with your face shape.
1. Half-Up Curls with Blunt Bangs
A half-up, half-down look with bangs is lovely for mature women who want to hide some forehead wrinkles but still show off their beautiful facial features.
It also looks sprightly, especially if the hair has curly or wavy ends.
2. Curly Bixie
A “bixie” is halfway between a bob and a pixie cut. This look is closer to a pixie, but the slightly longer length and the addition of curly bangs give it a feminine flair.
It’s an excellent choice for older women with fuller faces, as the curls will help balance the roundness.
3. Shoulder-Length Layers with Curtain Bangs
This style is one of the best bangs hairstyles for women above 60 whose hair is getting thinner with age but who don’t want to maintain waves or curls.
The layered bangs, swept on each side, provide a sense of fullness.
4. Fluffy Short Bob
The fluffy, cute hairstyle is perfect for those who want a girlish look. This is also one of the best hairstyles for older women with thinning hair because it will add volume, texture, and depth.
The bangs sit above the eyebrows, leaving more of the forehead visible.
5. Medium Waves with Short Curved Bangs
These mid-length bangs with a rounded curl are a classic, traditional style that gives off a welcoming and homey look.
The soft waves are ideal for hair that isn’t too straight or too textured but somewhere in the middle.
6. Highlighted Feathered Bob
This full, layered bob has honey highlights and feathered bangs.
The layered waves combine inward-curving ends with outward flicks, giving the bob its rounded, feathered shape.
7. Straight Blonde Bangs
This long bob has a slight curl at the end but a relaxed overall appearance. The straight, uneven bangs present a balance of fun and classy, and you can easily dress this look up or down.
8. Side-Parted Bangs
One-sided bangs are a bit daring, but they can accentuate your best features, especially if you have long straight hair.
In this style, the bangs are parted to the side and then fall on half of the forehead, with longer hair wrapping around the same cheek.
9. Pastel Pink Layered Bob
Who says women above 60 can’t have a bit of fun? This light pink hair is perfect for older women who want to make a statement.
The slightly curled bangs will help to frame your face, and the light pink will bring color to your cheeks.
10. Bun with Straight Bangs
Sometimes a little goes a long way, and this simple, discreet bun highlights your facial features and draws attention to straight, well-cut bangs.
This look also draws attention to a heart-shaped face and pretty eyes.
11. Layered Bob with Swooping Bangs
This bob’s softness, fluff, and lightness highlight the facial features, and the bangs look great on mature women with round facial shapes as it complements their already soft features.
12. Feathered Bangs
This look is simple on the surface but has just the right amount of flair and pizzazz. The layers in the bangs add depth and dimension, while the flipped-out sides give it personality.
This look is also ideal for round faces as it helps give the face more shape.
13. Pixie with Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs are a classic style that anyone can wear, but they look fantastic with a straight pixie on mature women over 60.
In this style, the hair is parted slightly right of the top of the head, and the bangs are swept to the left side.

You can add your own touch to this look by wearing an oval or round-shaped frame according to your face shape.
15. Half-Up Hair with Piecey Bangs

However, the full, finger-parted bangs are a more youthful style for older women, adding extra interest and youthfulness to your hairstyle and face.

19. Gray Ringlets with Curly Bangs
If you’re blessed to still have wild and bouncy curls at your age, then make the most out of it by letting your curls run wild. But instead of going for all-out thick curly bangs, opt for a few curly strands at the front.

If you’re over 60 with salt-and-pepper hair, try this bob with bangs look. Show off your beautiful gray hair in this enchanting salt-and-pepper layered bob. But since the bob is already heavy at the top, balance it off with thin full bangs.
