20+ Practical and Stylish Side Part Hairstyles That Prove 60 Is Still Attractive
#1 Side part bob for a fresh look
A chin-length side part with soft layers adds new structure to fine or thin silver hair. The rounded shape adds natural volume, especially to straight, medium-density textures. This cut suits oval or heart-shaped faces well and draws attention upward, creating a taut effect. It's easy to maintain and style with a round brush, but may not hold on thick or curly hair types.
#2 Long side part bob with soft layers
This long, side-parted bob falls just below the chin and features soft, beveled layers that beautifully frame the face. Ideal for medium to thick textures, the warm brown color adds richness while light highlights add depth. It works well on oval and square faces, although women with fine hair may need a volumizing body spray. It's a polished yet low-maintenance option for mature women.
#3 Curly side part for bouncy curls
Naturally curly hair gets a glamorous upgrade with this long, side-parted cut. The deep part allows the curls to fall freely while framing the face in all the right places. The copper tone adds warmth and energy. Best for dense, coily textures and oval or diamond-shaped faces. It requires curling and spreading creams to define, but delivers major volume and presence with minimal clipping.
#4 Shoulder-length hair with side waves
Defined waves and soft golden playa add glamor to this shoulder-length style. Ideal for women with natural curls or soft waves, the length and highlights create dimension and youthfulness. The deep side part softens the forehead lines and adds volume to one eye. Ideal for hair of medium density, although very thick hair may require thinning to prevent bulk around the ends.
#5 Classic pixie with a side part for modern flair
This short pixie features a soft texture and a sleek side part, giving the classic crop a more modern feel. A short, feathered fringe works well for those who want to cover the forehead without heaviness. Great for women with small or narrow faces and fine to medium hair. It is very low maintenance, although a daily wax or shaping paste may be needed for definition.
#6 A choppy side part for sexy vibes
Textured layers, curly ends, and a dramatic side part add sass to this choppy haircut. The deep, dark brown color adds richness and contrast that works beautifully on cool or olive skin tones. Great for medium to thick hair with a natural texture. The gift adds a rebellious touch but may need frequent reshaping. Perfect for women who want a more modern, street-inspired cut after the age of 60.
#7 Wedge cut with side part for volume
This bold wedge cut with a strong side part gives serious lift and shape around the crown. The nape is tapered while the longer upper layers face forward, flattering square and angular faces. Ideal for thick or coarse hair that needs shaping and control. With glasses, the look is fun and powerful. Not recommended for use with soft or weak tissues, as they can become flat with no volume.
#8 Pixie bob with side part for softness
Bridging the line between bob and pixie, this soft, layered piece has enough length to frame the face while remaining short and airy. The side part adds a nice sweep, which helps balance out longer face shapes. The beige blonde color brightens the overall appearance and hides the gray color beautifully. Ideal for fine to medium density hair and women who want a wash-and-wear option that still feels feminine.
#9 Stacked side part for raised crown
This stacked bob with a side part gives the crown instant lift and a chic side-swept look. The graduated layers at the back build volume while the side fringe frames the cheekbones well. A cool-toned silver blend enhances dimension and blends gray naturally. Ideal for medium to thick hair that needs shape and structure – although those with stronger hair may need additional styling.
#10 Side bangs to create a youthful look
Loose side bangs and textured layers give this reddish-brown medium cut a youthful look. The cut is located right at the collarbone, and is ideal for women over 60 who want movement without losing length. Best on straight to slightly wavy textures of medium density. The bold copper color adds warmth to fair skin but requires maintenance. A great choice for blurring forehead lines or softening more pronounced features.
#11 Long pixie with side part for thin layers
The soft feathers around the ears and crown give this long movement and fine dimension. The deep side part provides light coverage of the forehead while directing volume to the top and sides. Ideal for fine to medium textures, especially if you like structure without stiffness. It's easy to wash and wear, although keeping the neckline clean may require more frequent trimming than a bob.
#12 Side part with smooth hair for lightweight volume
Short and softly wavy, this side-parted silver cut is great for women with fine hair looking for lift without the weight. The layers are simple but strategic, keeping the shape full around the crown. It flatters small and angular faces and works well with glasses. Low maintenance and air dry friendly, but may require a texturizing spray to keep the waves defined and prevent frizz.
#13 Chin-length side part for a sleek look
This elegant chin-length bob with a deep side part provides timeless polish. The sharp cut hugs the jawline and highlights the cheekbones, and is perfect for those with oval or heart-shaped faces. Thick, straight hair benefits most from clean lines. Although it's beautifully low-maintenance, it can look very flat on very fine textures without product. The deep black shade enhances the precision of the figure.
#14 Sharp side part for a stylish finishing touch
A clean, straight cut with a smooth side part provides a sharp, clean shape that emphasizes bone structure. The length hugs just below the chin, creating a soft frame for oval or angular faces. Best for straight, medium-density textures. The platinum tone lends itself beautifully to natural grays and cool tones but may require toning maintenance. Not ideal for curly hair unless straightened regularly.
#15 Multi-layered side part for movement and bounce
Oversized shoulder-length layers paired with a sweeping side part bring plenty of bounce and natural movement. Ideal for medium to thick textures, soft caramel tones and loose waves provide lift without stiffness. It flatters oval and square face shapes well. A little root boosting and round brushing is needed, although it holds its shape well all day without too much fuss.
#16 Stepped side part of the body
This icy white graduated bob creates structure and lift at the crown while remaining soft around the jaw. A deep side part brings asymmetry that lengthens the face, and is great for round or square shapes. Best for medium to thick fabrics that can stabilize a stacked back. The appearance is very clean and sharp, although it does require shaping every 6-8 weeks to maintain structure.
#17 A shaggy side part for a carefree style
Messy layers and a choppy side part give this shaggy look a bouncy, lively look. The warm copper tone revitalizes mature skin, while the undone texture works best on naturally thick, wavy hair. This cut is flattering on most face shapes, and adds movement and volume without requiring high maintenance. Not the best choice for fine hair, as it may appear rough without natural volume.
#18 Side part angled bob for sleek dimension
A sharply angled bob with a deep side part adds instant structure and dimension, especially for women with strong jawlines or cheekbones. The stylish gray and black combination enhances contrast and makes the pieces stand out. Best for straight, dense textures that hold a clean shape. It's not ideal for curly or curly hair without the extra effort in styling, but it is eye-catching and confidence-boosting.
#19 Side part with thin hair for added fullness
This collar-length layered cut with a gentle side part gives the illusion of thicker hair – and is great for women over 60 with thin strands. Dimensional silver tones add lightness, while soft, feathered tips create movement without bulk. Great for oval or heart-shaped faces with thin to medium hair types. It is easy to blow dry but may become limp without the use of root lifting products.
#20 A sassy side part for fun texture
Chopped layers and tousled waves paired with a casual side part give this blonde look a fun and relaxed edge. The sharp tips reach just above the shoulders and add bounce, while the warm tone blends natural grays seamlessly. Works best on wavy or naturally textured hair types with medium density. A great choice for square or heart-shaped faces, but those with fine hair may need a texturizing spray.
#21 Side part to solve big forehead
A softly rounded shoulder-length cut with long bangs on the sides that subtly hides a larger forehead and draws attention to the eyes. The subtle ash blonde color blends gracefully with natural grey, making it perfect for mature hair. Fringes add balance to long or rectangular face shapes. Ideal for fine to medium hair density, although you may need smoothing products to maintain its shape on humid days.
#22 A flattering side part for round face shapes
A shoulder-length cut with a deep side part and soft, face-framing layers helps elongate round face shapes. Silver blends with natural gray for a soft transition, while layering reduces volume and gives shape to thick or rough textures. It's fun, especially if you wear glasses. Possible drawback: Fine hair may require the use of a thickening mousse to prevent layers from falling out.
#23 Side part with curtain bangs for modern style
Flowing layers with curtain bangs give this side cut a modern touch. The medium-length look naturally complements silver hair by enhancing its brightness and movement. Great for those with dense or wavy textures, drape fringes balance out long faces and soften angular features. It takes some time to style—heat tools help define the shape—but it's a great option if you're looking for a little drama.
#24 Silversway Hairstyle
Oversized side layers create a soft and elegant silhouette in this silver dress. The natural silver blend adds subtle reflection, while structured waves add fullness to the cheeks – perfect for long or rectangular face shapes. Medium to thick hair works best to maintain this shape. It's charming without being difficult, although everyday styling is necessary to maintain the curve and height of the wave.
#25 Grispart haircut
A polished chin length with a gentle side part and rounded ends gives structure without harsh lines. The silver ash blend elegantly enhances aging hair while soft face-framing layers open up cheekbones. Great for fine to medium textures and for those who want a more polished, natural look. Perfect for women over 60 who prefer low-maintenance pieces that still look intentional and elegant.
