Gray hair is chic. Sophisticated. And easier than you may think to style in a way that looks fresh and modern. If you prefer your hair short, but feel your current look could use an upgrade, one of these give hairstyles may be exactly what you’re seeking to jazz up your look. Speak to your stylist about whether your hair type suits these haircuts (and don’t be afraid to customize yours so that it frames your favorite features or adds much-needed movement to thinning or fine hair). Here are five of the best short hairstyles for gray hair that can make you look and feel like a million dollars.
Piecey Pixie
A few things set the piecey pixie haircut apart from all others. For starters, it’s short enough on the sides and the back to help make fine hair look thicker and fuller. Second, it features longer layers on top that can be styled in a number of different ways to suit your mood or look that day. The piecey pixie is less tamed down and more funky, with shorter and longer layers at the top that give it so much texture and movement.
Angled Bob
Longing for a chin-length bob that’s easy to maintain and looks amazing on most, if not all hair types? Why not consider a jazzed-up version of the bob that’s angled toward your face. It’s so simple to style and turns a regular bob into the chicest bob on the block.
Choppy Lob
The choppy lob is slightly longer than a bob and sits around the collarbone. Instead of featuring blunt lines, it plays with layering to create texture and volume. This cut also pairs nicely with a straight fringe or a graduated curtain bang.
Graduated Bob
A graduated bob has more purposeful layers that start off shorter in the back and gradually get longer until they meet with the ends of the front of your hair. This is a really great cut for anyone who wants to make thin or fine hair look thicker. You can angle the front layers of your hair so that they frame your face or leave them with a more blunt baseline.
Wavy Bob
Go shorter with a chin-length bob, but then take things one extra step with waves and curls that provide major texture and movement. You can create waves using hot rollers or, if you prefer not to add damaging heated tools to your hair, there are a number of heatless curler options, as well.
Make the most of your gorgeous gray hair by going short with a haircut that brings out the shine and body in your hair.
