Are you over 60 and wear glasses? Older women often feel like there’s only a limited amount of short hair ideas out there. Today, I’m going to open your eyes to see trendy new ideas that will help you clearly find your next short hairdo!
Unlike some cuts for young hipsters, there are plenty of short hairstyles for women over 60 with glasses. Just have a look at female celebs who have already flaunted the hair idea, such as Jane Lynch and Helen Mirren!
There are two main things to consider when choosing your short hairstyle: the glasses you wear and your lifestyle. “Sometimes, certain styles around the face don’t work with the frames,” says professional stylist Sylvia York of Georgia. When it comes to lifestyle, a key question to answer York says to answer is “do you have a regime or are you a wash-and-go kind of gal?”
Committing to short hair means more maintenance. York goes on to explain that if you don’t know how to, or don’t want to style shorter hair, it probably will not work for you. You must be willing to come to the salon every 4-6 weeks for trims.
So before your next hair appointment, check out these inspiring photos of short haircuts for women over 60 with glasses.

Short Crop Haircut with Bangs for Round Faces

Short Bob with Layers for 60-Year-Old Women
A short bob with layers for 60-year-old women offers a low-maintenance haircut. An edgy bob is a creation by a stylist from Canada, Nicole Dietze.
“The nape is tapered short with a tightly cut natural hairline. A weight line was added to the back. There are layers thru the top, making sure that they bevel in mid-shaft to ends to create a nice rounded shape.”
For finishing touches, Dietze used a razor to add texture and bounce to the hair.
According to Dietze, it’s perfect for women looking for a longer pixie. The bob cut adds an illusion of fullness, movement, and texture to benefit fine tresses. “Short hair exposes the cheek and jawline, adding natural highlights to the face,” she adds.
To mimic a messy style, Dietze says, “Quick shampoo and blowout should not take more than 15 minutes.” The product she recommends is Eufora Dry Spray Wax to complete the style.
Remember: A woman will need to return to the salon every 4-6 weeks to maintain the cut’s shape.
Rounded Bob Cut for 60-Year-Olds with Glasses
Go for a rounded bob haircut for 60-year-olds who wear glasses. For finer hair textures, a rounded bob with a blunt cut gives fullness around the perimeter. An asymmetrical parting or side-swept bang gives interest and style to a bob that is flattering on all face shapes.
Short Blonde Angled Bob Hairstyle
Consider a short blonde angled bob. Inverted bobs with textured ends give a modern look to a classic shape. Keeping your length right above the collarbone keeps the hair in place and won’t flip out when touching the shoulders. Adding some curls with a 1-inch barrel or styling wand gives that effortless vibe.
