Whether dashing, stylish or elegant – our hairstyle is always a means of expressing our personality. The main thing is that we feel comfortable with our haircut. Basically, hair changes over the years, which is why the hairstyle is often adapted accordingly. Or you just feel like changing your type! Here we have put together some great inspiration for chic hairstyles over 60.
This is how hair changes with age
- Thinner hair: During and after menopause, the hormonal balance changes. This in turn causes the hair to become thinner and finer and we have lower hair density. The effect is particularly noticeable on blonde hair, because the lighter the hair, the thinner it becomes.
- Dry hair: Mature hair becomes drier. An extra dose of care is the be-all and end-all here! You can counteract brittle and dry hair with hair masks, moisturizing sprays and nourishing shampoos.
- Gray hair: Our hair color is determined by the pigment melanin. Melanin is produced using the amino acid tyrosine. The older we get or due to certain illnesses, the production of the amino acid in the skin and hair roots decreases. The result: The hair gradually turns gray or even appears white.
Hairstyles over 60: The most beautiful haircuts
bob
Timeless and chic! Variable in length from chin to shoulders, the bob looks well-groomed and stylish. Forehead wrinkles can be concealed with bangs. And if you think that a bob would be boring, you are very wrong, because here too you can play with gentle waves, a blow-dry hairstyle or the sleek look!
Pageboy
Anna Wintour shows us how it works – the pageboy cut never goes out of style! This timeless hairstyle impresses with its precise line and straight bangs.
Short hair
The pixie cut is particularly easy to care for and extremely modern. The hair is cut short on the sides, back of the head and neck, while the top hair remains longer. Here you can, for example, add accents with styling wax or blow-dry the top hair into a quiff.
Long hair
Since hair becomes thinner after menopause, long hair may lack volume. Better: short haircut or medium-long hair! If you still don’t want to do without your long mane, you can get a volume wave at the hairdresser or help with a round brush and hairdryer.

- Lure: Whether natural curls or curlers – medium-length hair or a bob can be perfectly curled for a voluminous appearance.
- Combed back: An elegant appearance is guaranteed with combed back hair. Particularly elegant: style your hair in a sleek look.
- Hair color: Gray hair is definitely trendy and looks particularly stylish when well cared for! If you want to continue coloring your hair, you can choose from the full range of colors. However, you should only avoid very dark colors as they make the facial features appear a little harder.
