Are you a woman over 60 with fine hair, looking to add a touch of excitement to your look? The perfect pixie haircut can transform your style, giving you a fuller and more voluminous appearance. Short and chic, these cuts can be tailored to suit any shape and texture, making them a versatile choice for your new hairdo.
Kymber Palmer, a Florida-based salon owner, and stylist, is a big fan of the pixie cut, claiming it looks incredibly intentional and more “put together” than a stringy bob or a long shag.
Before you take the plunge, consider your hair’s natural texture. If you have curly or wavy locks, don’t get your heart set on a straight, sleek pixie. Embrace your unique texture, and you’ll avoid disappointment in the end.
When it comes to styling your fresh pixie, the possibilities are endless! Push the front layers forward for some cute bangs, or sweep them to the side for a sophisticated side-parted look. Feeling a bit edgy? Brush your hair up for a daring faux hawk or pompadour!
Kymber Palmer offers a word of caution for those considering a pixie cut: “If you’re a wash-and-go kind of woman, don’t commit to a style that requires more than a blow-dry and style-aid. A styling routine that doesn’t suit your lifestyle will guarantee a big fat flop on your pixie cut journey.”

#4: Pixie Mullet for Grandmas with Wavy Hair
Consider a wavy pixie mullet for grandmas. Celebrate natural wavy textures with a pixie mullet. Soft tendrils around the face and hairline for a romantic vibe. Easy to apply texture cream or spray and let air dry completely before fluffing up.
#5: Thin Wispy Pixie for a Square Face
If you’re a more mature woman with finer hair, consider a modern pixie haircut. The shorter layers give a fuller appearance. The short cut removes weighing down your facial features. Don’t forget to ask your stylist to teach you styling tips and tricks. One of my favorites is Kenra 6 dry texture spray to give a more define look.
#7: Short Textured Pixie with Crown Layers
Consider a short textured pixie with crown layers. Layered hair in your crown works great with hair growth patterns and cowlicks to give the right amount of body for fine hair. An easy cut to style with a quick round brush or a few crown curls with a one-inch iron and a whisper of hairspray to hold in place.
#8: Super Short Pixie with Tapered Sides
Go for a super short pixie with tapered sides if you want to look 10 years younger. A sassy cut that is easy to style with a pea-size amount of styling cream. A great cut for fine hair and the minimalist. A higher maintenance length will bring you into the salon every 3-5 weeks.
#14: Long Pixie with an Undercut for Straight Hair
Long pixies for straight hair with an undercut can be made edgy by piercing out or more sophisticated with a simple styling brush to create waves and curves. Undercuts are great for weight removal and shaping a long or short pixie.
#18: Side-Parted Pixie for Black Women with Natural Curls
Opt for a natural curly pixie hairstyle with a side part for older women. Natural curls or perms work great with a soft pixie by giving a soft body and shape to the style. A side part gives a beautiful asymmetrical shape and suits most face shapes well. Styling with a moisture cream and set spray makes styling very manageable and effortless for finer hair.
