20 Modern Pixie Haircuts for Older Women to Wear This Year
16. Tapered Crop with Micro Bangs. Micro bangs offer a daring addition to your style, which is especially flattering for ladies with high cheekbones and oval or triangle face shapes.
Although short hair is believed to have a killer rejuvenating effect, nothing seems more challenging than choosing pixie haircuts for older women. Longer coifs serve as a safety blanket hiding age-related imperfections, while crops require shedding this protective layer. Nothing of the kind! We are going to prove that crops will make you look younger if properly customized.
So, let’s check out what type of short style we like to wear this year most of all.
1. Highlighted Undercut with Dramatic Definition. Although this crop is done close to the scalp on the sides, it doesn’t lack texture or body, thanks to the lifted crown, choppy bangs, and well-defined pieces throughout the top.
2. Tapered Crop with a High Crown. Despite the recent “effortless styling” trend, your locks don’t need to be all messy. This soft and rounded coif freshens up the face with delicate highlights and has some wispy pieces to feel textured.
3. Brunette Crop with Choppy Bangs. Current shorties are often cut longer around the nape and temples to deliver a softer feel, but you can give a little extra zhuzh to your look with choppy bangs.
4. Shaved Back and Sides with Comb Over. When wearing your crop with glasses, you may want to avoid overwhelming your face, and closely cropped temples complemented with top strands lifted and swept to one side will serve the goal.
5. Mussed Up Mini Shag. If you prioritize low maintenance in your coifs, a shorter version of the shag with a lot of texture tailored to your hair type will ensure much freedom in styling.
6. High-Contrast Volume Up Top. Ladies with a heart-shaped or round face can balance out their wide cheeks by adding height at the top of the head and making it pop thanks to a high-impact color scheme.
7. Two-Tone Feathered Mullet. Longer textured crops provide a kind of safety blanket to cover the neck and build a soft face frame, still leaving much room to play with color and texture.
8. Elegant Side-Swept Tapered Shag. By maintaining a bit more length on the top and sides, short styles create a feminine look, with movement and texture instilled through side-swept styling and a choppy finish.
9. Shaggy Taper with Blonde Highlights. Plus-size ladies should have no scruple in chopping off their length and opening up the face, the more so as they can balance their build with the right volume at the top.
10. Strawberry Blonde Mullet with Face Framing. A layered side-swept fringe like this is a great addition to short coifs with glasses since it draws attention to the cheekbones and doesn’t overwhelm the face.
11. Gray Crop for Coarse Locks. The pictures of this light and flexible style show that even very short coifs allow you to enjoy versatility in styling if they are tailored to your hair type, of course.
12. Face-Hugging Smokey Tapered Style. Thanks to gray blending incorporated into crops, you can add dimension to thinning hair, with beige, silver, and darker gray hues beautifully mixed and matched.
13. Brunette Spiky Fauxhawk. Here is proof that crops can deal successfully with a mane remaining thick despite your age by releasing the locks from extra weight and giving them a rejuvenating boost.
14. Chopped Salt-and-Pepper Shortie. This style is kept neat in the back and on the sides for easy styling yet it gains some playfulness and added volume with the strands tousled on the crown.
15. Sassy Lavender-Tinted Crop. We are totally in love with this fancy-colored, face-hugging crop spiced up with jaggy bangs and encourage hairdressers to bring more whimsical shades and bold details into modern short coifs.
16. Tapered Crop with Micro Bangs. Micro bangs offer a daring addition to your style, which is especially flattering for ladies with high cheekbones and oval or triangle face shapes.
17. Gray Undercut with Roasted Tips. The best solutions for fine locks use not only layering but also coloring to add dimension to the sparse strands, which is perfectly done here with creatively placed lowlights.
18. Short Neat Butter Blonde Coif. Ladies wishing to conceal that their strands are thinning around the part should follow this example and wear their crop with crown strands lifted, feathered, and pulled forward.
19. Edgy Messy Crop with Spikes. Boyish crops can be kept shorter on the back and sides but made choppier on the crown to bring playfulness and serious vigorous vibes into females’ looks.
20. Neat Highlighted Crop. Women with their hair on the thinner side will benefit from an added depth with a darker shade on the bottom and a lightweight fringe creating fullness in the front.
As we can see, short styles range from super short crops to almost bob-length coiffures, with all kinds of finishes and styling options only expanding your opportunities. So, don’t hesitate and take the plunge, and we hope to admire your fresh chop on Instagram soon!
