15 Timeless & Regal Short <b>Hairstyles for Older Women</b> Posted: 29 Aug 2013 05:00 AM PDT Who says you have to be young to have fabulous looking short hair? Age is just a number. Take a look at these hot short hairstyles for older women and be inspired! 1. Classic Bob This chin length bob is cut bluntly and with minimal layers. A deep side part and bangs really spice it up. How to Style: Comb out hair and part to the side. Blow hair dry with a medium-sized round brush. Bevel ends under while drying to create that flipped under effect. Use a flat iron to smooth hair out when completely dry. Done! Recommended Products: Purchase the Infra-Shine flat iron in a 1" size. It works fabulously, has ceramic plates, and a temperature control setting. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Round and heart shaped faces are best for a chin length bob. Add some bangs if you have a longer, more oval shaped face. Medium to thick hair that is naturally straight is best. Pull out your flat iron if you need to. Tip(s): Bangs are great at hiding forehead wrinkles! Consider cutting a few instead of opting for Botox. 2. Full Fringe This short haircut has tons of layers and tons of textured bangs. The result is a high volume style with lots of interest and body. How to Style: Apply your favorite volume enhancing products. Remove most of the moisture out of hair with your dryer and your fingers, then go in with a small to medium-sized round brush to add body and direct hair where you want it to go. Polish off your look with a large curling iron when hair is dry. Spritz on some hairspray to keep your look in place. Recommended Products: Use the Body Full line of hair products from Redken to really amp up the volume. Try the Volume Amplifier from the line — it's fabulous! Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Round faces are ideal for this full banged haircut. Medium to thick hair that has some wave is best. Tip(s): Soft bangs grow out easier than blunt cut bangs. 3. Stacked Bob This short hairstyle feels nice and cool because the hair is kept up and off of your neck. Short, stacked layers blend softly into sleek, chin length strands in the front. How to Style: Apply some styling foam to damp strands and comb through. Blow hair dry and use a medium-sized round brush for the front strands. Really concentrate on making them as smooth and frizz-free as possible. When your hair is totally dry, use a flat iron to polish off hair strands. Rough up your hair with your fingers in the back to separate and show off your layers. Use a texture spray if needed. Recommended Products: Privé Shine Spray is the perfect finishing touch to your hairstyle. Mist it once over the top of your hair and let it work its magic. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Round faces look great with a bob, especially when the sides are kept sleek and slender. Medium to thick hair that is on the straighter side is best. Tip(s): Short hair can lose its shape fast, so keep up with your haircut appointments. 4. Layered Bob This hairstyle's length is cut by the jawbone and has sweet, sassy layers throughout. A side part and bangs help frame the face and add more interest to the look. How to Style: Apply a styling foam to damp hair and comb through. Part hair to the side, then blow hair dry with a small round brush. A smaller brush will help give more volume and body to your finished look. Remove all the moisture from the hair and polish with a flat iron if you need to. Recommended Products: Big Sexy Hair gives you just that with their Big Altitude Bodifying Blow Dry Mousse. It has a lightweight formula that gives incredible volume without weighing hair down. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: This short bob is cut above the chin, making it a great choice for longer, oval shaped faces. Thick hair that is on the straighter side is ideal, although you could always use a flat iron on curls if needed. Tip(s): Bangs help camouflage a long forehead and add balance to long faces. 5. Perfect Pixie This short hairstyle is tapered close around the ears and neck, but kept longer and feminine on top. Styled sleek and soft, this is a stylish choice for older women who don't want to spend a lot of time on their hair. How to Style: Blow dry hair forward in the front and towards the back on top. When hair is completely dry, go in with a flat iron and bump your bangs under. Use the iron wherever else is needed to add smoothing. Finish off your look with your favorite styling wax or pomade. Use your fingers to pinch the ends and add a pieced-out effect. Recommended Products: Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Paste Texture Pomade is an excellent choice to add polish, definition and hold to your hairstyle. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Longer, oval shaped faces are ideal for this haircut because of the long bangs. Round shaped faces could work as well. Fine to medium hair thickness is ideal on straight to wavy texture. Tip(s): Always consider your desired haircut when deciding on hair color. The color should compliment your cut, not clash with it. 6. Textured Treasure This edgy pixie has tons of fun texture throughout. The longer bangs and sandy color help add style and drama. How to Style: When hair is damp, comb bangs forward and to the side so they can dry in place. Let hair air dry or use a blow dryer to remove moisture. Use a flat iron to smooth out bangs and add shine. Grab your favorite styling aid to add texture and polish off your look. Recommended Products: Redken has a ton of amazing styling pomades. Try Rewind – it's their pliable styling paste with flexible hold. Run it through your hair and then pinch the layers to show off your amazing texture. It adds incredible shine, too! Best Face Shape and Hair Type: This pixie has longer bangs which make it great for longer foreheads or more oval shaped faces. Heart and round shaped faces are ideal for pixie haircuts. This model's hair type is medium to thick and is on the straighter side. Tip(s): Ask your stylist if they offer complementary bang trims. Sometimes a quick snip off your fringe can help make your whole look feel fresh again! 7. High Contrast Make a statement with this boldly colored short hairstyle. Hair is cut short and tapered around the perimeter while layers are left long on top for a fun and full silhouette. How to Style: Use a blow dryer to remove moisture from your hair while directing it in the direction you want it to lay when finished. When hair is almost dry, grab a small round brush to add polish and volume to your style. Flat iron your bangs or any other areas that may need more smoothing. Be careful not to overdo your flat ironing and remove that hard earned volume. Spray hair with a medium hold spray to lock your style in place. Recommended Products: Try L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray to set your look. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: All face shapes would be complemented by this hairstyle. Add some more front facing bangs if you have a longer face shape. Thick hair that is on the straighter side is the best hair type for this look. Tip(s): Keep your short haircut looking feminine with the right details. Keep it soft around the ears and neck and play up your makeup to keep a girly feel. 8. Copper Cut Stand out from the crowd! This super short pixie is kept fresh and new with its piecey bangs, textured layers and vibrant color. How to Style: Out of the shower, simply use your fingers to arrange hair in the way you want it to fall when it dries. Push the bangs forward and tousle up the rest of your hair to break up the layers and show off your texture. When your hair is dry, rub your favorite pomade on your palms and run it through hair in the same directions it's falling. Recommended Products: American Crew Tea Tree Defining Paste gives your hair added texture and thickening for increased definition. Great memory, hold, and pliability. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Round and heart shaped faces are perfect for pixies. This pixie is great for hair that is fine to medium in thickness that has straight to wavy texture. Tip(s): Even short hair can make a statement. Amp up your style power with a punch of bold color. You'll look fresher and feel younger! 9. Beautiful Asymmetry Add an edge to your short hairstyle by giving it an asymmetrical shape. Long shaggy layers on one side of the face are contrasted by tapered pieces around the opposite ear. How to Style: Blow dry hair smooth and to the side to really play up the asymmetry. Use a flat iron to smooth out pieces even more. Spray on some hairspray or run some type of slightly sticky product through strands to define your layers and add texture. Recommended Products: Privé Texture Spray is amazing at enhancing your edgy layers. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Thin to thick hair that is more naturally straight is awesome for achieving this short shag. Oval, round or square shaped faces will wear this look best. Tip(s): Keeping one side of your short haircut on the longer side help keeps the look feminine. 10. Spiked Up Add some spice to your pixie with this fun spiky texture! Hair is left slightly longer around the fringe for even more pizzazz. How to Style: Blow dry hair forward and smooth bangs to the side. Use your favorite hair wax or pomade to really rough up the hair. Don't be shy! The spikes are the elements that really make this style spark.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type: All face shapes would look great with this spiky pixie. Thick hair is preferred and wavy hair is perfect. Tip(s): Spray some hairspray over your hair after styling to hold the look in place. 11. Pure Blonde This short haircut is kept fresh and modern with the dusty blonde coloring. Hair is left long and wispy around the perimeter to keep a sweet, girly feel. How to Style: Use your fingers and a blow dryer to dry your hair and direct hair in the direction you want it to lay. You should push hair forward and to the side as it dries to get a similar shape to the model shown. When hair is dry, grab your flat iron and flick a few pieces up and back away from your face for those fun, flirty pieces. Recommended Products: Use a light hairspray like Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Touchable Weightless Spray to add subtle texture to your pixie. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: If you have fine textured hair but lots of it, this cute, wispy pixie is great for you. The tapered neck and fuller length on top make it great for oval shaped faces. Tip(s): Use lightweight products to enhance your style. Heavy or greasy products will weigh it down and make hair look crunchy. 12. Auburn Glow This asymmetrical haircut is layered throughout and shows off tons of texture and magnificent flips. How to Style: Part hair to the side section up the top two thirds of hair. Start with the bottom section and flip out with a 1¼-inch curling iron. Drop down a little more hair and continue using the curling iron to flip hair out. Finish flipping out the entire head of hair on the sides of the face and curl the back of your head under if needed. Recommended Products: Kérastase Oleo Relax Serum is amazing at adding incredible shine and, more importantly, protects hair from any hot tools. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Round faces would look best with this face slimming hairstyle. Straight or wavy hair that is on the thick side is best. Tip(s): Curl or flat iron hair under for an entirely different style. 13. Stacked Bob This stacked, chin length bob has a textured cut with medium length layers. Side bangs and a blonde streak in the front help add interest and drama. How to Style: Detangle hair and part to the side once out of the shower. Blow hair dry with a medium-sized round brush. Bevel ends under while drying to create that flipped under effect. Use a flat iron to smooth hair out when it's completely dry. Recommended Products: Redken Glass is a light serum that you can apply to wet or dry hair to smooth and protect your hair strands. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: Round and heart shaped faces are best for a chin length bob. Thin to thick hair is great and the straighter your hair is naturally, the better. Tip(s): Adding short layers at the neck like this hairstyle shows is great for hot summer months. Hair is shorter at the nape so you feel cooler. 14. The Perfect Part This hairstyle has a tapered neck that blends up to short volume enhancing layers at the top. The front is kept longer for a stunning side bang that frames the face beautifully. This look is very soft and wearable! How to Style: When just out of the shower, use a comb or your fingers to create a deep side part and arrange hair in the way you wish it to dry. Let hair air dry or use a blow dryer to remove moisture. Use a flat iron to smooth out bangs and front pieces to add shine. Grab your favorite styling aid to add texture and polish off your look. Recommended Products: Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Paste is a great product to define your layers without making it stiff. Best Face Shape and Hair Type: This super flattering hairstyle is great for round or heart shaped faces, and perhaps even slightly oval shaped faces. All hair thicknesses will work, but straight to wavy hair is best. Tip(s): If bangs seem to bother you when you've had them in the past, opt for short bangs above the eye or longer ones that you can easily tuck behind your ear. 15. Sweet Sophistication This side swept, curly bob is super cute and a great idea for a more formal short hairstyle. How to Style: Section up half of your hair so you can access the bottom half of your hair easier. Grab a 1-inch curling iron and curl the under part of your hair. Drop down the top section of hair and continue curling until your entire head of hair is curled. Use a flat iron to smooth bangs over to the side. Recommended Products: Lock in your look but keep it soft and flexible with Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Touchable Weightless Hairspray. It smells great, too!

Work with what you've got and rock one of these amazing short hairstyles.
