The best pixie haircuts for women over 60 with fine hair create a fuller, more voluminous style. These are short in length but are versatile to any shape and texture.
Florida-based salon owner and stylist Kymber Palmer share her take on a pixie cut. “It looks incredibly intentional and more “put together” than a stringy bob or a long shag,” she states.
Consider your natural texture when opting for a short haircut for fine hair if you’re over 60. Don’t even look for straight, sleek pixies if you have naturally curly or wavy hair. The result will look different, and you’ll feel disappointed instead.
Maintenance is essential when wearing pixie haircuts for fine hair for women in their 60s. Palmer states, “Expect to get your hair cut every 4-6 weeks. Buy your stylist’s recommended styling products to recreate the look at home!”
When styling, you can push the front layers forward to serve as bangs. Or sweep to the side to create a side part style. If you brush your hair up, you can also come up with an edgy faux hawk or pompadour look!
During the consultation, be honest about your morning routine.
“If you’re a wash-and-go kind of a woman, don’t commit to a style that requires more than a blow-dry and style-aid. A styling routine that doesn’t suit your lifestyle will guarantee a big fat flop on your pixie cut journey,” Palmer explains.
It’s never too late to switch up your look. Here are the photos of the trendiest pixie haircuts for women over 60 with fine hair!

Copper Pixie Hair with Layers and Bangs

Finish the style off with a little matte or satin paste to show off the texture.
Soft Pixie Haircut with Side Bangs on Older Women
A soft pixie haircut with side bangs for older women over 60 is a great option. A wispy pixie is great for older women and softens lines around the face. A side bang that flows with your natural hairline and part makes for effortless styling. Ask your stylist to leave width at the temples if you need to balance and design to pear & triangle face shapes.
Classic Pixie with Side-Swept Bangs on Mature Women
