Okay so haircuts for women over 70 is genuinely one of my favorite things to talk about and to do at the salon. I have worked with so many clients at this stage of life and I just love it. The hair, the confidence, the way a good cut can make someone light up. It really never gets old for me.
There are so many beautiful options out there and I put this list together because I want people to see that. Short or long, silver or colored, bold or classic, it is all here. I hope something in this list makes you feel excited about your hair again.
Silver Layered Bob with Soft Side Fringe
This cut is so pretty and I think about it a lot. It hits right at the chin and the layers make it move so nicely. The fringe is wispy and soft, not heavy at all, which I really like. Fine hair would look amazing with this because the layers make it look fuller.
Ash Gray Tousled Pixie
Okay this one is really good. The color is this soft ash gray and it looks so cool and modern on her. All the choppy little pieces on top give it so much texture and life. If your hair is on the thinner side this cut is going to make it look way thicker.
Silver-Beige Curly Bob
I love when a haircut just works with what your hair already does. These curls are so full and bouncy and the bob shape keeps everything neat. The silver-beige color is really soft and pretty. Curly or wavy hair girls, this one is for you.
Charcoal-to-Silver Sleek Side-Parted Bob
The way the color goes from dark charcoal roots to bright silver ends is just stunning. It sits right at the chin and the whole thing is super smooth and polished looking. I love the deep side part, it gives it a lot of elegance. This looks best on straight or mostly straight hair.
Icy Platinum Layered Bob with Wispy Fringe
That color is almost white and it looks so bright and clean and fresh. The fringe is barely there which I think is the best kind of fringe honestly. Layers through the bob give it a lot of movement without making it look messy. If you have fine hair this is such a good option.
Smoky Gray Sleek Wedge Bob
This one is really polished and I love how put together it looks. The color is a deep smoky gray with a little more depth than a typical silver. She has it all swept to one side really smoothly which makes it look so intentional. The wedge shape adds volume in the back without you having to do anything extra.
Pure White Tapered Pixie
From the back you can really see how sharp and clean this cut is. It is a tapered pixie in pure white and the neckline is so precise and neat. The top is a bit longer and swept forward which gives it a nice shape. This is a bold choice and I think it looks really incredible.
White Silver Rounded Bob with Curtain Fringe
The fringe on this one is so soft it almost looks like it just falls that way naturally. It is a rounded bob in white silver and the shape is full and really pretty. The curtain fringe parts in the middle and it frames the face so nicely. This might be the friendliest fringe for someone who has never tried fringe before.
Silver Pixie with Textured Top
This pixie is not too short and not too long and I think that is why it works so well. The silver has just a tiny hint of lavender in it which is so cool up close. There is a little fringe that falls across the forehead really casually. It looks great if you just want a simple easy short cut that still looks nice.
Warm Sandy Blonde Voluminous Bob
Not everyone wants silver hair and this look is such a good reminder of that. It is a warm sandy blonde and the whole thing is just full of volume and bounce. The layers are really seamless and the shape is rounded and so flattering. Medium to thick hair is going to look amazing with this.
Copper Auburn Layered Bob
That color is so rich and warm and I honestly can not stop looking at it. It is a copper-auburn with lots of dimension and the pieces catch the light really beautifully. The bob has movement and the ends are a little flippy which gives it energy. Warm copper tones like this are so flattering and I really think more people should try them.
White Platinum Short Pixie with Fringe
The fringe here is blunt and short and it sits just above the brows which looks so sharp. Everything else is cut close and neat at the sides. The top has a little texture and length so it does not look too severe. It is a confident look and the white platinum color makes it feel super modern.
Sandy Ash Blonde Tapered Bob
This color is a really pretty cool sandy blonde with soft highlights mixed in. It is a tapered bob with a side part and everything swoops together in the same direction. The shape tapers slightly at the back which I love because it makes the neck look longer. It is polished without being too stiff or fussy.
Rich Mahogany Bob with Caramel Highlights
Deep mahogany with warm caramel running through it is such a beautiful combination. The stacked bob shape has incredible volume on top and the layers are really smooth. I love how the warm highlights add so much dimension to the color. This is a great choice if you want something rich and a little dramatic.
Silver Gray Crop Pixie
This is a really clean and simple pixie and I like that about it a lot. The silver-gray color is soft and the cut is precise without looking stiff. There is just enough texture on top to keep it from looking too flat. It air dries really nicely too which is always a bonus.
Snow White Sleek Blunt Bob
I want everyone to see this bob because it is just completely flawless. The color is snow white and the finish is so glassy and smooth it looks almost unreal. It sits right at the chin with a side part and every single strand is in place. Straight hair or easily smoothed hair is going to look so good with this cut.
White Platinum Disconnected Pixie
There is so much volume on top of this pixie and it is swept up and forward in this really cool way. The sides are cut clean and close which makes the top look even more dramatic. It is white platinum and the whole thing looks really modern and editorial. Fine hair can look super impactful with a shape like this.
Silver Gray Spiky Crop
This one is my favorite bold cut on the whole list, I have to be honest. The little spiky pieces on top are so full of personality and I love it so much. The sides are very close cut which makes the textured top really pop. This cut is for someone who is not afraid to stand out and I respect that a lot.
Ash Blonde Feathered Short Bob
The feathered layers on this bob are so soft and bouncy and pretty. It is a warm ash blonde with lighter highlights throughout and the waves give it a lot of volume. The ends are feathered which gives it this really feminine and a little retro feel. Wavy or easily curled hair is going to love this cut.
Soft Lavender Tousled Pixie
Yes this is lavender hair and yes it looks absolutely amazing. The color is such a soft pale lilac and the choppy layers on top give it so much texture. From far away it almost reads like a very cool silver but up close it is definitely lavender. If you have white or silver hair and want to try something fun this is such a pretty way to do it.
Ice Silver Sleek Short Bob
This bob sits just above the ear and it is tucked behind perfectly with a deep side part. The ice silver color is bright and cool and looks so clean. Everything about the finish is really smooth and precise. It is great for showing off cheekbones and making the neck look longer.
Espresso Brown Pixie Bob with Fringe
Deep espresso brown hair looks so rich and full of depth and I love it. The fringe sweeps across the forehead softly and there are warm highlights in there that add dimension. It is layered just enough to have movement but not so much that it looks heavy. This is proof that you do not have to go gray if you do not want to and brunette hair can look so gorgeous.
Pure White Blunt Chin-Length Bob
This bob is just pure white, not silver or platinum, just clean bright white. It is blunt cut at the chin with a center part and the finish is completely smooth like glass. There are no layers or fringe or anything extra, just a really perfect clean shape. If your hair is naturally white this is honestly the dream cut for it.
Warm Copper Layered Bob with Side Sweep
This copper color is so warm and glowy and bright and I love it so much. The side part sends all the volume in one direction and the layers give it a lot of movement. The color is somewhere between copper and auburn with lighter pieces at the top. It pairs really beautifully with warm skin tones and it just looks so full of life.
