6 Short Hairtstyles for Fat Faces and Double Chins Over 60
A great haircut makes me feel like a million bucks!
Finding the perfect cut can seem like an endless cycle of trying something new, growing it out, and starting over again.
Have you ever shown a picture to your hairstylist and said, “This is what I want”? A good stylist should be honest about whether the style will work on you.
I haven’t always been so lucky
I’ve had stylists TRY to give me the cut I want, based on a picture of a famous actress with a fussy style. I just wish they’d mentioned that the famous woman in question likely had a team of beauticians following her around.
The Real Reason People Over 60 Love Shorter Hair May Surprise You
When people do a Google search for “Short Hairstyles for Fat Faces and Double Chins Over 60”, they’re looking for flattering hairstyles.
Short hairstyles offer a lot of freedom. They’re often low maintenance, modern, and chic.

Best Short Hairstyles for Fat Faces and Double Chins Over 60
Here are some interesting ideas and short hairstyles that work wonderfully for chubby faces and double chins:
1. Pixie Cut
The pixie cut is a timeless favorite.
A chic layered pixie can add volume to the top of your head, drawing the eye upward and away from the jawline.
Face-framing layers soften facial features and work beautifully for fine hair and thick necks. Add soft waves for an effortless look that’s perfect for daily wear or a special event.

2. Long Bob (Lob)
A long bob is one of the best hairstyles for fat faces and double chins. It hits right around the chin level or just below, giving structure and slimming the appearance of the face.
Soft layers and subtle texture work well with thick hair and natural hair texture. Curtain bangs can add a youthful touch.

3. Messy Bob Cut
The messy bob is perfect for people looking for short hairstyles for fat faces and double chins over 60. Tousled texture adds movement and lifts the face.
The messy short hair style pairs well with wavy hair or can be styled to suit straight hair.

4. Shag Hairstyles
Shag hairstyles incorporate lots of layers and texture.
This style is ideal for adding volume and dimension to fine hair while flattering round faces. The layered cut gives height and structure, drawing attention away from a double chin.

6. Chin-Length Cuts
Chin-length styles are great for providing structure around the face. These work particularly well when combined with soft layers to create movement and dimension.

Don’t get discouraged! Here are a few styling tips
I get so discouraged the first time I try to style a new cut. I can never get it to look nearly as nice as my hairstylist did! Sometimes it takes a little trial and error to get a new cut looking the way you want it to.
Thick hair
Ask your stylist to thin out your layers or texturize to reduce bulk.
Fine hair
If you have fine hair, opt for a volumizing cut like a pixie or shag. Embrace your natural hair texture rather than fighting it.

Choosing the Right Cut for You
Your lifestyle matters just as much as your facial features.
Many women over 60 want low-maintenance styles that still look polished. Consider how much time you want to spend styling your hair daily.
A pixie cut or a messy bob can be perfect if you’re looking for simplicity. For more flexibility, medium-length hair styles like a long bob or a layered cut can offer both elegance and ease.
If you want to try a face-flattering style, your best option is to speak with your stylist.
The perfect cut balances your facial features, fits your lifestyle, and enhances your natural beauty.
