Pixie
Pink’s sophisticated pixie haircut not only makes her hair look incredibly healthy, but it’s versatile, as well. Wearing yours with a little lift at the roots, as she does here, makes it look more voluminous, and sweeping it to the side is a way to ramp up some drama. We are loving her silvery highlights, as well, which put a spotlight on her skin and features.
Short Curly Pixie
The pixie cut is often shown with straight hair, but hair with texture, including curls, also looks fantastic in a pixie. Texture can be charming and youthful, so don’t feel like you have to blow your hair straight — nothing could be further from the truth.
Bixie
Jane Fonda is just one of many celebs who love sporting a bixie — which combines the shorter crown you’ll find in a pixie cut with more of the length you see in a bob. This cut has ‘90s vibes, but is updated and provides the perfect excuse to not have to choose between a pixie or bob. You can both!
Medium Haircut With Bangs
So, short’s not your style — that’s okay! A medium haircut provides more length, while not going overboard and making your hair look too thin or stringy. Adding waves and bangs, as seen here on Blythe Danner, gives your hair a focal point and instant oomph.
Long Hair With Curls
Andy MacDowell has doggedly decided to break all previous gray hair rules by keeping hers long — it looks amazing because she also lets her curls shine through, which gives her hair volume and keeps it from looking too thin. If you opt for beneath-the-shoulder hair, just be sure to get frequent trims and condition is well to keep it looking its healthy best.
Asymmetrical Bob
If you love a good bob, but are getting bored of yours, changing its shape is a way to subtly achieve a new style without making drastic changes. An asymmetrical bob plays with angles, creating a look that is shorter on one side and longer on the other. It’s a style that can be playful, fun, and sophisticated all at the same time.
Classic Blunt Lob
Of course, there are always those who prefer the classics, and it doesn’t get more classic than a traditional blunt bob. The blunt bob lacks layers, so make sure your hair has enough volume to not fall flat if you like this style. It stops around the chin and is perfect for showing off the shine in your lovely grays.
Shag Haircut
In recent years, the shag cut of the 1970s has made a comeback and women who adore layers and movement are rejoicing. This is the ultimate rock and roll cut if you want to highlight your facial features and create tons of movement in your hair.
French Bob
A French bob is just a little bit shorter than your classic bob, often stopping above the jawline or even as high up as the cheekbone. It’s bold, sassy, and perfect if you want to make thinning hair look thicker.
Face-Framing Layers
Perhaps you aren’t in the mood to cut your hair into a bob, pixie, shag, or anything else that resembles a brand new look. Make a more subtle change that has a big impact by asking your stylist to cut face-framing layers that give your face a lift and highlight facial features such as your jawline, cheekbones, and eyes.
Lob
You’re not ready to go short-short, but you’re tried of medium-length hair. What’s your best option? A lob! This collarbone-length cut gives you the best of both worlds and can be styles straight, curly, blunt, or with layers.
Layers Bob
Glenn Close’s layered bob has everything: a sassy chin-length cut, a bit of a longer bang, and plenty of layers to create movement. After the blunt bob and pixie, this is one of our favorite classic go-to cuts for body and sophistication.
Glam Waves
Last, but not least, we present to you not a specific haircut, but a way of being. Adding large waves to any cut that’s longer than a pixie, whether that means a bob or below-the-shoulder hair, provides instant glamour and volume to make your hair look thicker and provide width to the face. Add heatless waves using any number of products on the market — a few large rollers in your hair while you do your makeup in the morning can make you feel like you’ve just stepped out of a salon.
