When you’re 60 or older, it can be difficult to choose between hairstyles that feel a little too young or the ones that get you outside of your comfort zone. While you should always rock any hairdo that makes you feel confident and comfortable, it’s also good to have an idea of which classy, modern hairstyles are popular with women over 60 today.

Tilda Swinton's Blowout and Undercut
Don’t hesitate to get creative like Tilda Swinton. Her undercut and unique blowout are perfect for any occasion where you’d like to turn heads.

Isabelle Adjani's Choppy Fringe and Wavy Lob
Lobs are one of the most popular styles of the day. Add a mature edge to the traditional lob by adding loose waves and a choppy fringe.

Michelle Pfeiffer's Messy Curls
Messy curls look elegant and beautiful at any age. Check out Michelle Pfeiffer’s for inspiration; the tighter curls, as opposed to loose waves, look mature and refined.

Susan Sarandon's Curly Ends with Bangs
To get even messier, consider taking a page out of Susan Sarandon’s book. Her curly ends are loose, tight, and facing different directions. Her bangs help keep her ‘do polished.

Cher's Black Layered Mane
Don’t hesitate to add some volume! Cher’s black layered cut is youthful but age-appropriate because of all the extra volume in her hair. Use a large curling iron to create those voluminous curls.

Donna Milles' Icy Blonde Waves
Feel free to play around with color, too. Donna Milles’ waves are icy blonde, but her roots have darker highlights and tones to make it look more natural.

Diahann Carroll's Soft Honey Waves
Illuminate your face with a few strategic highlights around it. When you curl your hair, these highlights will be even more pronounced, just like Diahann Carroll’s.

Feel free to rock some of the popular styles of your youth, like Jaclyn Smith’s huge wing-style curls. To keep it more modern, add some warm honey tones to your tresses.

The 70s are making a comeback in different corners of the fashion industry as of late, and Susan Lucci knows it. Her retro bangs complement her loose, cascading waves perfectly. Try opting for a wispy bang like this instead of a full fringe.

When we talk fashion, Anna Wintour is always a great inspiration. Nothing like keeping a sleek bob and fringe to look chic in any situation.

Glenn Close's Tasteful White Crop
Glenn Close’s crop looks stunning with the messy waves and pixie-like shape of her hairdo.

Spice it up with some waves and you’ll get a fresh look straight out of the red carpet!

Jane Fonda's Platinum Chop
Jane Fonda, a true beauty chooses to honor the graying of the hair by having a head full of gorgeous platinum strands. Straying away from her usual blonde medium crop, I think this short crop is super becoming.

Lisa Vanderpump's Dark Layers
There’s something about dark hair that tells a different story about your hairstyle. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep the gray hairs away. Lisa Vanderpump does this with a rich and dark chocolate brown tone, which looks like a fantastic complement to her eyes.

Jane Lynch's Long Pixie
This hair may as well be called the Jane Lynch Haircut since she’s been known to wear it so spectacularly well for so long. Having hair as short as this opens the doors for a lot of possibilities if you’re in the mood for a color change.

Kim Basinger certainly knows she can rock a full head of blonde, but this time she complements the color with some very subtle highlights merging seamlessly.

Lynda Carter's Signature Dark Waves
We all know Lynda Carter to be the O.G. Wonder Woman, no matter how good Gal Gadot has done so far (she’s amazing!). Lynda has certainly kept it close to Diana’s black layered mane, just a tad bit shorter.

Mary Hart's Blonde on Blonde Highlights
I’m a fan of blonde on blonde highlights. Let’s be honest, doesn’t that super light blond sort of make concealing gray hairs a little bit easier? I’m talking practicality, and Mary Hart definitely knows all about it! She looks stunning!

Helen Mirren's Angled Bob
Leave it to Helen Mirren to serve us with the coolest do’s in town. This angled bob and fringe look stunning on her.
