You didn’t come this far in life to settle for boring hair. Let’s get you snipped and styled, honey!
Hey gorgeous! 💁♀️ Just because you’ve hit 70 doesn’t mean your hair journey is slowing down. Oh no, babe—we’re just getting started. Whether you want to keep things classy, fun, low-maintenance, or full of flair, short hairstyles are the ultimate glow-up move.
As your trusted hairstylist and personal hype woman, I’ve gathered 20 of my all-time favorite short hairstyles for women over 70 that are stylish, age-appropriate (without being boring), and most importantly—confidence-boosting.
Let’s find your next signature cut, shall we?
1. Classic Pixie Cut
Simple, smart, and stunning. The classic pixie is easy to style and keeps your look fresh and lifted. A little texture and some volume on top? Yes, please.
2. Layered Bob
This bob is soft and full of movement. Layers add life and volume, making it ideal for fine hair or anyone wanting that bouncy, youthful look.
3. Soft Feathered Pixie
Feathered ends = softness and elegance. This cut flatters the face and grows out beautifully—perfect if you’re not at the salon every month.
4. Wavy Bob
Got some natural texture? Embrace it! A wavy bob with a gentle tousle adds charm, volume, and a “just-glam-enough” attitude.
5. Short Shag Cut
Fun, edgy, and low-effort. The shag gives you texture, layers, and movement while keeping things short and sassy.
6. Blunt Bob with Bangs
Modern meets bold. A blunt bob gives structure while bangs soften the forehead and highlight your beautiful eyes. It’s confidence in a cut.
7. Tapered Pixie Cut
This tapered look hugs the nape of the neck and elongates the face—chic and sculpted. A fab choice for those who love a tidy, sharp look.
8. Sleek Chin-Length Bob
Classic, classy, and a little posh. The chin-length bob keeps things sophisticated and frames the face beautifully, especially with some shine serum.
9. Tousled Crop Cut
A little messy, a lot fabulous. This cropped cut has volume and movement, perfect for showing off your personality and those silver strands.
10. Side-Parted Bob
A deep side part instantly adds drama. Pair it with a chin-length bob or a slightly longer version for a very flattering, face-lifting effect.
11. Curly Short Bob
Curly girls, this one’s for you. Embrace your natural texture and let those curls bounce around your chin. It’s playful and packed with charm.
12. Wispy Pixie Cut
Delicate layers and wispy edges create softness and femininity. It’s perfect if you want lightness around your face with lots of airiness.
13. Asymmetrical Bob
Business on one side, party on the other! This off-balance bob brings a modern edge that works beautifully with salt-and-pepper or silver hair.
14. Voluminous Short Layers
Got fine hair? This cut is designed to lift and amplify. Ask for short, blended layers that add body without bulk.
15. Short Bob with Side Bangs
Soft side bangs are a face-framing dream, and paired with a bob? It’s a fresh, flattering combo that’s easy to maintain.
16. Textured Crop Cut
Short, choppy layers give this look a cool, effortless vibe. Just run some texturizing cream through and you’re ready to rule the day.
17. Stacked Bob
Lifted in the back, slightly longer in front—this bob builds volume and shape. Great for women who want a polished, full-bodied look.
18. Spiky Pixie Cut
Feeling bold? A spiky pixie is lively and fun, perfect for showing your sass and spunk. Add a little gel and play with the texture!
