15 Short Haircuts for Women Over 40 That Will Always Be in Style
Cropped Pixie
Judy McGuinness, a senior stylist at Mizu Salon in New York City, says a soft super short pixie with micro bangs is one of the most classic short haircuts of all time. Look to photos of Zo? Kravitz or Kate Hudson for inspiration, and be sure to ask for the same length all over.
Pixie Cut with Length
McGuinness says this is a "classic short hairstyle that gives a ton of versatility with styling." Viola Davis and Kris Jenner are two celebrities who rock this look without flaw, and because there is length on top and the sides, you can mix things up with texture and accessories.
Classic Square Bob
No matter your hair texture, a bob that gives off Parisian or 1920s vibes is a no-fail option if you want to go short. Opt for a style that hits right at the chin, and know you can add in side-swept or blunt, piece-y bangs.
Shaggy Bob
McGuinness says this hairstyle should be cut with a razor if possible, and your stylist should add in a lot of layers. As for the length, this bob should hit anywhere between the chin and the collarbone.
Curly Chin-Length Bob
Flaunt your natural hair texture but just a little bit shorter with this chin-length bob style. This shorter haircut adds volume and fullness to the hair while defining your curls.
Blunt Clavicle Bob
Want to go short but not too short? Don't fret—you have options. Our pro suggests going for a precise cut with no layers that hits the collarbone. It's chic but effortless, and you'll look back at photo albums with zero regrets.
Side Swept Pixie
In addition to pixie haircuts looking chic and sophisticated, they're also low maintenance. Whether you choose to embrace your natural hair texture or slick it down, like Charlize Theron, the results are always enviable.
Assymetrical Bob
Ask your stylist for an asymmetrical bob a lá Regina King at the 2019 Emmys. It's versatile short hair that can be tailored to your preferences. Whether you want to keep your length and have the hair reach the collarbone, or don't mind keeping it short and above the shoulders. Whatever you choose, the results are nothing short of beautiful.
Chin-Length Blunt Bob
Consider Regina King our queen for short haircut inspiration. Case in point? This chin-length bob. Cutting the hair into a bob that's one length offers an elevated and refined look that will flatter any hair type and texture.
Pixie Cut With Front Bangs
We'll never forget Halle Berry's pixie era because it was that good. To this day, her pixie cut with long front bangs proves that a short haircut is stylish and classic.
As we get older, trends become less intriguing and we become more focused on timeless styles that are easy to maintain. This remains true, especially when it comes to hair. Luckily, there are so many short haircut styles with no expiration date. If you're over keeping up with the ever-changing Instagram hair trends and ready to lose length, you've landed on the right web page.
