Who wants to spend hours in front of their bathroom mirror trying to put together the “perfect look?” I certainly don’t—and I’m sure plenty of women over 60 will agree with me, too.
Enter: wash and wear haircuts for women over 60.
What exactly are these styles? Well, they’re haircuts that you can literally wash in the morning and wear for the day – without all of the hassle of styling and designing. They look spectacular right out of the shower and dried.
#1. Softly Tapered Pixie Cut

A softly tapered pixie cut is undeniably a fan favorite for women over 60. For one, this style is incredibly easy to maintain. For two, all the layers add some serious height, elongating the face for a more youthful appearance. It’s an all-around winner!
#2. Gentle Waves Shoulder-Length Cut

We recommend going with a shoulder-length chop if you have naturally wavy hair. Cut right at the shoulder blades, your waves will have plenty of room to “do their thing” and look incredible. A pinch of texturizing product will ensure your waves look fab with no styling required.
#3. Classic Layered Bob with Side Bangs

When discussing beautiful face-framing haircuts, we can’t forget the classic layered bob! The layers will allow the hair to fall gracefully against the face, creating a soft and feminine aesthetic. Paired with side bangs, it doesn’t get much more gorgeous (and easy) than this.
#4. Sleek Chin-Length Pinned Bob

If you want a more precise bob haircut, you can utilize this style instead. This bob haircut always frames the face majestically, but the lack of layers and side bangs creates a more sleek aesthetic. This works best for straight-haired gals looking for a fiercer approach.
#5. Voluminous Medium Length with Light Layers

Women over 60 struggling with thin or fine hair needn’t struggle any longer! This haircut is designed for maximum volume – even without any styling. That’s all thanks to the beautiful, light layers strewn throughout. A bit of volumizing spray certainly won’t hurt, though!
#6. Angled Shoulder Bob with Soft Curls

Women with naturally curly hair need a style that’s easy to maintain yet perfectly displays their stunning ringlets—and this is the go-to cut. An angled shoulder bob adds some rigidness to playful curls. Curl-enhancing products are all you need!
#7. Textured Short Crop with Wispy Bangs

Short crops are best for ladies who want an “in-between” look – not short enough to be a traditional pixie but not long enough to be challenging to manage. We especially love this textured approach with wispy bangs, which provides an edgy twist that’s still a wash-and-wear cut.
#8. Layered Pixie with Voluminous Top

Volume, volume, volume! If that’s what you’re looking for, this hairstyle has got it! This layered pixie with a voluminous top is all about creating height and energy. The best way to ensure your look remains tall and powerful is to use a volumizing spray!
#9. Mid-Length Cut with Flowing Layers

The problem with mid-length cuts is they can appear worn down – and who wants that, especially as a woman in her 60s? To avoid this situation, ask your stylist for some flowing layers. They’ll add a beautiful amount of volume and flare you can wash and wear.
#10. Rounded Bob with Swooping Bangs

A rounded bob with swooping bangs is the ultimate go-to for women over 60 who want a wash-and-wear haircut that adds softness around their facial features. It’s an especially flattering option for those with fine hair, too.
#11. Feathered Jaw-Length Bob

Do you have thin hair? Don’t panic – you can still enjoy a wash-and-wear haircut that doesn’t need any “extras” to look full-bodied and fun. It’s the feathered jaw-length bob, and the layers and feathering are all you need to achieve volume and movement.
#12. Wavy Lob with Side Parting

A side part isn’t something to leave in the 2000s. While the middle part may be more popular, some women—especially those with square, diamond, or heart-shaped faces—look better with a side part. Paired with a wavy lob, it’s a feminine and flirty option you’ll love.
#13. Straight Cut Bob with Side-Swept Bangs

Keep things simple and posh! This straight-cut bob with side-swept bangs is meant to be minimalist yet stunning. Some smoothing serum will help ensure your locks are not only slick-straight but glistening.
#14. Short and Sassy Spikey Cut

Women who want to exude boldness and confidence will appreciate the vibe of this haircut. It’s a pixie loaded with short layers that can easily and quickly be spiked for a fierce finish. Just use a bit of gel or holding product to get there.
#15. Medium Feathered Cut for Wavy Hair

Those with naturally wavy hair need to be careful not to get a cut that will cause bulkiness. Luckily, this medium feathered cut does the opposite. The feathered cut will reduce bulkiness, creating a light and airy look you can simply wash and enjoy!
#16. Long Bob with Undercut Layers

Riddled with a contemporary attitude, this haircut is best for women over 60 who love a more modern approach to their appearance. This is also a go-to style for ladies with thicker hair types, as the cut eliminates volume at the bottom, ensuring a lightweight and cool finish.
#17. Shoulder-Grazing Layered Cut with Fringe

If you want to stay within the realm of fashion and effortless styles, this is the ideal haircut! A shoulder-grazing layered cut with fringe has it all. The layers create luscious movement while the fringe draws attention to the eyes. So cute!
#18. Textured Pixie Bob

A textured pixie bob idyllically pairs the cute and carefree vibe of a pixie with the length of a bob haircut. This ensures you have room for styling if desired but always keeps things simple. Enjoy this wash-and-wear style that’s got body, sass, and adorable written all over it.
#19. Asymmetrical Short Bob with Layers

Some hairstyles just have that “it” factor that can’t be ignored – this haircut is one of them. How’s it done? Well, it’s all thanks to the asymmetry. Asymmetry hairstyles are known for their posh attitude, especially when combined with lovely layers.
#20. Soft Layers with Gentle Waves for Medium Hair

Creating a look that’s gentle yet carefree isn’t complex. In fact, it’s easy with the right haircut! Those with naturally wavy locks should go with a medium haircut and a few soft layers. Use a bit of product to highlight your waves.
#21. Modern Bowl Cut with Soft Edges

If you’re unafraid to step outside the box with your hairstyle, may I suggest a bowl cut? A modern bowl cut is the best of both worlds: trendy and easy to maintain. Make the look a pinch more feminine by opting for soft edges.
#22. Tousled Pixie with Long Bangs

Pixie haircuts don’t have to be uber-short. They can be somewhat longer if desired, as this haircut proves. The longer pieces and bangs create an effortless aesthetic that’s great for laid-back ladies over 60.
#23. Simple Blunt Bob with Thin Bangs

When it comes to timeless styles, this one nears the top of the list. A simple blunt bob with thin bangs has a classic err, perfect for women over 60. It’s easy to maintain, frames the face delicately, and is a definite wash-and-wear look – especially for straight-haired gals.
