If your hair is fine and thin, it wouldn’t hurt to take a few inches off. I would feel comfortable saying at least mid-back. It would make your hair look much more healthy and if your ends were seen as transparent at all, that cut will take care of that. There is nothing wrong with wearing longer hair at 60, you just need to be diligent about caring for it. Also, I would suggest nice face-framing layers. Face framing layers will certainly give the appearance of a more youthful look. As long as you are caring for your hair appropriately, aging applies just like every other situation. “Age ain’t nothing but a number.”

A good haircut for a 60 years old woman is short hairstyles for women over that make them look beautiful and comfortable. Haircuts for older women don’t have to be bland, or too simple. Personalities are different, so we can’t say specifically which haircut will be good for every 60 years old woman. Old age doesn’t mean a woman shouldn’t have choices.

Remember that making your hair means choosing something you’re very comfortable with. You don’t need to be afraid of wearing the hair colors you like. Furthermore, if you follow trends, you won’t go wrong.

  2. Don’t be too Conservative Being too conservative about your hair is not the best way to go about it.

  3. Wigs aren’t a bad option If you’re dealing with thinning hair, include wigs or extensions into your styling routine. Besides their visual benefits, they can also reduce styling or environmental influence on your hair. Plus, there are lots of affordable wigs and extensions you’ll be comfortable in.

  4. Keep your haircut updated You’ve got to maintain the hairstyle you have on. Visit your stylist or have him/her come to your house at least once in a season to freshen up your look. You get to also consult on how to keep up with your hairstyle.

  5. Good hair products are a good investment You have to invest in good hair products for ladies your age. Make sure whichever product you’re using is as natural as possible. You don’t need anything that can hurt or stress your hair and scalp. It’s also important to use naturally based shampoos and conditioners, as well as styling gels and sprays. Above all, it is very crucial to know the right amount to use to avoid weakening and overworking your hair.
