29 Voluminous Hairstyles For Women In Their 60s With Very Thin Hair
Turning 60 doesn’t mean your hair has to take a nap.
If your strands have decided to go on a volume vacation, we’ve got 29 reasons to bring the bounce back.
Whether you’re in the mood for curls that defy gravity or bobs that mean business, these hairstyles are here to remind your hair that it’s still the life of the party.
Let’s give flat hair the flair it’s been begging for – no fluff, no fuss, just fabulous volume.
1. Chic Bob with Layers
This isn’t your average bob.
It’s the haircut equivalent of “I woke up like this” – only with better layers.
By stacking in some soft, airy layers, this style adds volume without making your head feel like it’s hosting a bird’s nest.
It frames the face like it’s auditioning for a portrait and keeps things neat without ever feeling stiff.
And yes, trims are your new BFF – because a bob that’s grown out is basically a helmet.
Bonus tip: Add a spritz of texturizing spray and pretend you’re in a hair commercial – dramatic head turn encouraged.
2. Playful Pixie Cut
Tiny in length but mighty in volume, the pixie cut has no time for boring hair days.
It’s spunky, it’s stylish, and it basically tells the world you know what you’re doing – even if you don’t.
Add a bit of texture and your thin hair will act like it’s been working out.
Want it extra perky? A dab of mousse and a tousle with your fingertips can turn you into the cool grandma who everyone thinks used to be in a band.
Bonus perk: Windy days? You’re immune.
Pixie cuts laugh in the face of weather.
3. Elegant Updo with Soft Curls
This one’s for when your calendar says “event” but your hair says “nap.”
Soft curls tucked into a graceful updo can fool everyone into thinking you spent hours in front of the mirror – when really, you just pinned and twirled and hoped for the best.
The curls add volume, the updo adds drama, and the overall vibe says, “Yes, I do know which fork to use at dinner.”
Pro move: Add a few delicate pins or a tiny clip for some sparkle – just enough to catch the light (and some compliments).
4. Voluminous Curly Bob
If your curls are hiding like shy party guests, this bob is their invitation to dance.
With just the right cut, your natural texture gets to shine without the frizz throwing its own tantrum.
This curly bob brings bounce, swing, and that satisfying oomph that makes thin hair look like it took vitamins and read a self-help book.
Whether you’re at brunch or simply yelling at the TV with flair, your hair will be doing its own thing—in the best way.
5. Sophisticated Side Part
Sometimes, all it takes is a simple shift to change the whole story—and in hair terms, that’s a side part.
It adds lift at the roots, creates dimension and gives your strands the illusion of density without a single extension in sight.
It’s like contouring, but for your scalp.
Blow-dry with a round brush and suddenly you’ve gone from “meh” to “who is she?” in under ten minutes.
6. Textured Lob
Somewhere between a bob and long hair lives the lob—an overachiever that knows how to multitask.
Add texture and you’ve got yourself a style that plays well at weddings, lunch dates, and spontaneous mirror selfies.
The layers are subtle but smart, giving your hair movement without looking like you tried too hard.
Toss in some dry spray and you’re ready to bounce through the day with hair that has absolutely zero plans to lie flat.
