With growing age, our hair begins to become thin and silvery in color. Hence, there arises a need to use different hairdos that match the age, as well as hide the thinning of hair. Older women should choose short or medium hairstyles that hide their aging neckline, whereas older men should stick to their conventional short haircuts.

For Women

Classic Boy Cut

Classic boy cut for women

Be it Anne Hathaway that you are inspired by, or Ellen DeGeneres, whether you are 25 or 60, a classic boy cut never fails to look ravishing. In a classic boy cut, the hair on the sides and back of the neck is tapered, while that on the top is slightly longer. For a more playful look, the grays can be matched with hues of light pink or blue. This haircut mostly suits all face shapes, but is especially great for those with round, oval, and heart-shaped faces.

Long Pixie

Long pixie haircut for women

You have quite a few options when it comes to long pixies. A razor-edged pixie in which the hair has ragged edges with long bangs looks very stylish. A sugar pixie is recommended for those with round- or square-shaped faces. In this haircut, the hair is short around the ears and longer on the rest of the head. Another option is a grown-out pixie in which the nape is kept short and tapered into long layers on the top.

Medium Layers

Short pixies with short fringes work best for oval faces. Those with round faces can have pixies which provide height to the crown. The ones with a heart-shaped face can use the same technique, with the sides kept flat. Since these individuals have a wide forehead, side-swept bangs will make it look narrow. This haircut is also great for those with curly hair. For curly hair, the haircut has short layers all over the head and longer layers on the nape.

Short Pixie

You can go with tapered layers which highlight your facial features by using a razor, only to taper the hair that frames the face. A shoulder-length layer combined with a mid-length haircut looks good on all face shapes. The haircut creates an illusion of thicker hair, if swept bangs are kept.

Classic Bob

Nothing can go wrong with a classic bob. The haircut has always been and will always be in vogue. However, there are several types of bob cuts, and their suitability depends greatly on your type of hair and face shape. If you have fine hair, it is best to get a blunt bob, and the ones with curly hair will look best with a short bob. For those with square or oval faces, a short bob suits best. You can also opt for an angled bob, which makes the hair look much thicker than it is.

Bob with Outward Flip

This hairstyle works best if you have layers in your hair, instead of a uniform length. The hairstyle suits all face shapes and is easy to maintain. The flips can be achieved easily using a blow dryer or a flat iron.

Cropped

A lot of people will ask you to go short as you age. However, if you like your tresses, there’s no need to chop them off. Long layers will do enough justice to your hair. It also gives you the option of trying various braids and stylish updos.

For Men

Ivy League

Ivy league haircut for men

Made famous by Channing Tatum and Matt Damon, the Ivy League, also known as Princeton, is a type of crew cut. The side and back of the hair is tapered short, while the length of the front line top hair is kept long. The length of the top hair varies according to the size of the skull. The haircut is suitable for wavy, coiled, as well as straight hair. This style can be worn with a side part, with the top hair brushed to the side or spiked on the top.

Flattop

Flattop haircut

Another type of crew cut, a flattop is a haircut in which the hair on the top is given a flat surface, while that on the sides is cut to give a square appearance. When viewed from the top, the hair looks like horseshoe.

Textured

For a textured look, the hair is cut unevenly at the end, for which a shear point technique is used. It can also be done using a razor or thinning shears.

Layer Cut

Layer haircut

This is one haircut that is performed entirely with shears. The cut can be long or short, depending on the individual’s choice. The hair is cut in the same length all over. A little bit of styling cream can be applied, and sections can be twisted to add texture.

Classic Taper

Classic taper haircut

In this haircut, the hair is longer on the top, and tapers towards the ears and neck. The hair on top can be slicked to the sides for a stylish look. Alternatively, it can be worn down for a casual look.

Classic Boy Cut

Boy cut for men

The easy and comfortable boy cut is a pure classic. In this haircut, the hair is tapered along the sides and back of the neck.

Business Man’s Haircut

This haircut is very popular among those working professionals who require a conservative look. In this haircut, the hair on the sides and back is cut with a slight taper, whereas that on the top is left long.

These hairdos with the use of different patterns and layers would help you make a style statement. However, older men and women who wish to sport gray hairstyles only for hiding thinning hair and aging signs could go for simpler styling options. Keep in mind that one should not keep their options limited just because they belong to a particular age; one must always be ready to add some zest in their lives, as well as to their hair.
