Classy Haircuts For Women Over 60 To Look 20 Years Younger

Expensive night creams and anti-aging products are touted to help turn back the clock, but they typically can’t provide the immediate anti-aging benefits of a truly flattering hairstyle. The right haircut accentuates features that can make you look 20 years younger, such as bold brows, full lips, and high cheekbones.

The tricky part can be determining the fine line between “anti-aging hairstyle” and simply being unable to pull off the look that you’re going for. After all, the only thing worse than looking a little long in the tooth, is looking like you’re failing miserably at trying to look half your age.

If you want to take years, or even decades off your appearance, there are specific hairstyles to consider, as well as avoid. The following are the hairstyling do’s and don’ts that you absolutely must know prior to your next trip to the salon…

Avoid: Bangs

The traditional argument for bangs is that they will help you frame your face and highlight your best features. Some people can pull off the look, but many people cannot, no matter what age they are. Additionally, the amount of upkeep that’s needed for this look just isn’t worth it.

Also, if you’ve got a square face, bangs will not help your look. Bangs tend to itch, and always need to be styled, even on days you don’t want to. And if you want to grow them out, they won’t grow evenly.

Avoid: Pixie Cut

The classic pixie cut is one that older women gravitate toward since it’s easy to maintain, but it’s not one all women can make work. The look has appealed to a broad spectrum of women going back to the mid-70s, though it has to be done right.

It can give a woman the look of still feeling like a grownup who’s not hopelessly trying to masquerade as a 20-something. Although the look always seems to be in style, if cut too short, it can even make you look older than you are, and may not be worth the risk.

Avoid: Faux Hawk

Yes, a faux hawk is a real hairstyle people are sporting. While a mohawk was more fashionable in the 1980s and was primarily a men’s look, some women have tried the faux hawk.

Faux hawks really became trendy starting in the 2010s, and are certainly for a younger audience. But if you have grandchildren, trust us, you should skip this look.

Avoid: Razor Bob Short & Heavy

Razor styles work better for older men than older women. A short and heavy bob can make a woman’s hair look finer than it is.

One benefit of this style is that it can make thick hair on older women easier to manage, making it a popular choice. However, this style generally works best for women with thicker hair, so those with finer hair may want to skip it.

Avoid: Classic Shag

The classic shag hairstyle is one that older women often try. But the problem with the classic shag is that it often can become a big mess, as many shaggy layers come together to form this hairstyle.

Maybe consider the voluminous shag instead, which you’ll see later, over the classic shag.

Avoid: Sleek Lob

A sleek lob (or long bob) has become popular among older women. It’s essentially a straight bob that has an edgy modern look to it, but is not always easy to pull off.

Long bangs that fall at the top of a woman’s eyebrows usually complement this haircut well, but bangs can be very hard to maintain and only accentuate certain face shapes.

Avoid: Chandelier Bob

A chandelier bob is another variation of a classic style. It uses fewer layers than other hairstyles but will still allow for more volume in a woman’s hair.

This hairstyle is best for women who have a strong square face and jawline as it gives them a more relaxed look. However, if you have an oval or round-shaped face, you may want to reconsider this style as it will make your face appear wider than it actually is.

Avoid: Bob with Full-Length Bangs

Diane Keaton is one of the older ladies in Hollywood that has embraced a bob with full-length bangs. While she is able to pull the look off, not many others can.

The style can be a classic if you have the right features. Those with square or round-shaped faces will not benefit from this style as it will weigh the face down too much and should be avoided.

Avoid: Inverted Layered Collarbone

Older women with shorter hair can sometimes do well with what’s called an inverted layered-collarbone cut. This is where the hair is longer in the front and shorter in the back.

Usually, the trimming is done for this with a razor. Many women add bangs for the look, but may not always pull it off.

Avoid: Pixie with Sideburns

The long-feathered pixie with sideburns is a distinct style that some older women prefer. This is achieved by getting a classic pixie cut, but adding a hint of a men’s style to it with the sideburns.

The combination of volumes of feather layers and the distinct sideburns make this style a bold and daring statement, but it is also not the easiest to pull off well.

Try: Angled Cut

No one enjoys the effects of aging. One way to hide your aging is to get an angled cut. When an older woman’s face starts to soften this style of cut can change how those around them view their faces.

The sharply curved edges of this hairstyle cause people to look at a woman’s chin, drawing attention away from the upper half of her face.

Try: Short Curly Bob

Most style experts agree that for older women, a short curly bob is a timeless choice. This applies only to women who have a thick head of hair – tight curls hold their shape very easily, making this a hassle-free hairstyle to maintain.

With this type of hair, women are advised only to brush their hair when wet, because this hairstyle can get out of control if brushed when dry. Women may find themselves with overly large hair if they do.

Try: Super Short

This short and wispy style is preferred by women who have fine hair. The shorter you cut your hair, the thicker it will look.

Styling your hair by combing it backward works best for this haircut. A little backcombing is all it takes to get a woman looking stylish and elegant.

Try: Neat-Side Fringe

A neat side fringe is another classic hairstyle perfectly suited for an older person. The style pairs especially well with a short cut, and works out with any length bang cut a woman feels comfortable with.

What makes the side fringe so popular? The answer is pretty straightforward – in general, the look provides a thinner, more flattering-looking appearance, much like the angled cut featured in the previous slide.

Try: Voluminous Waves

Courteney Cox has always been a trendsetter, and that hasn’t changed much in the years since Friends went off the air. Even today, Courteney has superb voluminous waves that many women want to emulate.

All it takes is a few simple steps, as surprising as that sounds. Just blow-dry and part your hair down the middle – afterward grab some hot rollers, a little bit of hairspray, and you’ll be good to go.

Try: The Layered Crop

Layers are often key in the most successful hairstyles among older women. The layered crop has long been a classic hairstyle, and it’s likely to always remain a fashionable choice for older women.

It’s a quick and easy way to maintain a shaped hairstyle that gives hair volume without having to put a lot of work into it. To maintain this style, women only need to use a blow-out brush along with hairspray.

Try: Medium Layered Haircut

A medium-layered haircut is a perfect choice for almost any woman 60 years or older. It’s an incredibly easy style to maintain and it’s an ideal choice for any woman that would like to keep shoulder-length hair.

Achieving this look involves keeping the top layers of hair short, as well as bangs that have been swept off to the side. This hairstyle can be achieved using a round brush to style the tips of the hair.

Try: Short Cut w/Asymmetrical Bangs

Short cuts complemented with asymmetrical bangs can really enhance most older women’s hair. For starters, bangs are a great way to force others’ attention to the eyes rather than some superficial flaw.

Like the bobs we mentioned earlier, the feathered layers seen here add some serious volume. In addition, this particular style appears to “lift” the crown of a woman’s head and make the face seem a little less round.

Try: Inverted Bob

Another option for older women seeking a younger feminine vibe is the inverted bob cut. With many delicate layers, it keeps hair short and neat while simultaneously adding some additional volume.

The number of layers at differing lengths is key to rocking this haircut. While it may mean a visit to your hairdresser more often, the neat shape and appearance of this cut is to die for.

Try: Loose Waves

You don’t have to be young to try out a loose wavy look – older women look and feel younger with this super fun style. The cut requires longer shoulder-length locks, which then fringe down the sides of the head.

Again, this is a great option for women with thin or fine hair. Added layers give this style a softer look than some of the sharper, more angular bobs, and the style can really help bangs stand out.

Try: Tapered Pixie

A tapered pixie cut includes bangs swept forward and to the side of the head. At the top of the head lie extra-long pieces of hair – when those pieces are tucked behind each ear, women can show off sideburns.

Tapered at the neck, the overall feel of the style is an overall relaxed one. Many older women that want the ease of a short haircut often feel more feminine when they adopt this specific style.

Try: Beachy Wave Look

Elizabeth Hurley has defied the aging process by wearing her hair as if she were years younger. Her beachy wave look is easy to recreate, involving taking individual sections of hair and curling them one by one.

In the process of curling, hair should be directed away from the face, and a texturizing spray should then be used in each section. To complete this hairstyle, one must brush their hair using their fingers.

Try: Medium Length w/Swoopy Layers

If short hair just isn’t for you, this medium-length style is also fairly easy to maintain. An ideal choice for older women, this feminine cut especially complements ladies who have rounder faces.

While everyone wants to walk out the door looking and feeling good, not every woman wants to spend a ton of time working on their hair. If this describes you, this sweet, simple haircut may be just right for you.

Try: Close-Cropped Layered

A close-cropped layered haircut is often one of the best choices for women attracted to short hair. The prominence of layers can easily catch eyes and differentiate from the sea of short styles available.

There’s not much difference in maintenance regardless of whether you’re going for a casual or formal look. The definition of this style makes it an attractive option, whether you’re headed to the red carpet or the comfort of your couch.

Try: Medium Cut With Tailored Pieces

A medium cut with tailored pieces is also a fairly desirable style for an older generation of women. Layered pieces are paired with medium-length hair to create a great balanced style that’s sure to flatter.

This hairstyle lets older women sport long bangs in a way that doesn’t defy their age or get in the way. In addition, these bangs provide an effective way to hide any forehead and eye wrinkles.

Try: Full Textured Layer

A full-textured layer hairstyle is ideal for older women with curly hair. While curls can sometimes be hard to work with, this cut has just enough layers to accommodate curliness in a way that’s flattering.

This textured hairstyle pairs especially well with long bangs that can easily be swept to the side of the face. This allows the face to be more visible than it would be with many other hairstyles.

Try: Pixie Cut

There’s plenty to love about the classic pixie cut, and naturally, it’s a style that older women gravitate toward. Its contours the face for a youthful appearance, its layers add body and dimensions, and it’s easy to maintain!

All things considered, it’s not surprising that this hairstyle’s been en vogue since the mid-1970s. The short, affordable hairdo feels mature without being frumpy, making it likely to stay in style for years to come.

Try: Short Feathered Hairstyle

The short feathered hairstyle is also a look preferred by many because it effectively lifts the neckline and face. It includes tousled strands of hair, which keep the women sporting it feeling and looking young.

While the style can be sported in a fun, carefree way, it can also be worn tamely. To achieve this look, just try a standard blown out. By tucking the sides of the hair by the ears it transforms into a traditional bob style.

Try: Shoulder-Length With Layers

The classic shoulder-length cut complemented with multiple layers is a staple among older women. Once again, many flock to this style because the layers can help thin hair seem thicker than it actually is.

Some hairdressers claim that two layers are ideal for keeping this style easily maintainable. It’s got all the great looks of voluptuous hair without the tangles and maintenance that often involves.

Try: Looping Curls

We love that looping curls don’t require all the fuss that some other hairstyles demand. If you’ve got thinning hair (but lots of it), this is one way to keep it looking casual but presentable.

Rather than curling throughout the entire strand, these loose curls spiral at the end of each hair. It’s a carefree look for women that are worried about coming off frumpy or uptight in their appearances.

Try: Perfect Blow Out

What could be more classic than a perfect blowout hairstyle? If you’re especially brave and daring in your later years, you can further stand out from the crowd and spice it up with some extra color.

You can always go with something natural-looking, like an auburn or brunette with highlights. But, for the boldest, a bright purple or pink can pair perfectly with a carefully coifed blowout style.

Try: Soft Curls

As you might expect, actress Sandra Bullock always keeps her hair looking stylish whenever she appears out in public. Oftentimes, she turns to the no-brainer, foolproof solution of a soft curl.

This look involves parting one’s hair on their preferred side and using a curling wand on each section of hair until the entire head is done. To make the curls soft, all it takes is a simple brushing of the hair.

Try: Feather And Chin Length

Many feathery styles are a great way to get the most out of thinning hair. This particular chin-length hairdo benefits women that might not otherwise have much volume or thickness to work with.

Carefully cut layers angled just the right way can really prevent a woman’s hair from appearing limp. In addition, the lifting of the hair’s roots makes women look and feel younger than their years.

Try: Short Layered Cut

With a short layered haircut, maintaining style is always easy to do, which is partially what makes them so appealing to an older generation of women. A short style cut like this one helps older women feel younger again.

There’s not a whole lot of fuss that goes into making this style work. It also avoids women having to use any hair accessories or products they may not want to be bothered with in older age.

Try: Chunky Waves

Chunk waves are another preferred style of many women with thinning hair. So long as you’re working with medium-length hair and some long, sweeping bangs, this hairstyle is pretty easy to pull off.

In short, the appeal of this hair trend is the illusion of volume that it provides. The waves here look chunky enough that the average passerby sees a full mane, even if the hair is relatively fine or thin.

Try: Mid-Length With Bodybuilding Layers

Not all older women are lucky enough to have voluminous hair. For those who don’t, a great mid-length style with bodybuilding layers can work together to create a more voluptuous look.

This hairstyle goes well with bangs, something many older women lack. Maintaining this hairstyle is easy, only requiring tousling the long hairs, teasing the roots, and setting everything with hairspray.

Try: Overlapping Layers

The mid-length hairstyle with overlapping layers is an excellent choice for many women over 50. With this length of hair, flow and movement need to be maintained to remain stylish rather than unkempt.

When layers of hair overlap, the effect is a fun wavy style that makes many women feel younger. Maintaining this haircut is easy to do, as the style can be achieved and preserved without a ton of effort.

Try: Voluminous Shag

A new take on more traditional shag cuts, the voluminous shag is a modern-day hairstyle that many older women have embraced. This style is perfect for women who don’t mind wearing their hair high and in a big way.

At the top of the head, this hairstyle is thick with heavy layers, then eases down and stops at the shoulders. It is conducive to wearing bangs thick, a simple part down the middle of the head creates an overall balanced style.

Try: Mid-Length Feather Style

The mid-length feather style is a timeless look for older women, and it often helps women feel younger again. A shaggy style like this one is often associated with youth, but done correctly, it is effective for older women as well.

The hairstyle itself acts as a frame that complements every face shape as well as the neck. It’s easy to doll up into a more sophisticated style, which most older women can really appreciate.

Try: Short & Curly Bob

As we alluded to earlier, a short and curly bob can be a great choice for older women because it’s a hairstyle easy to achieve and maintain. However, women should grow shorter hair to support this style.

I know, it seems counterintuitive to let the hair grow longer if you’re seeking a short look. However, with the passing of time curls get shorter, so growing out the hair can help to counteract this.

Try: Classic Shag

The classic shag hairstyle is one that always flatters older women – no matter the shape of her face, it’s bound to complement. Women can keep their hair on the long side without looking like they are struggling to recapture youth.

A multitude of shaggy layers come together to form this particular hairstyle. It consistently adds texture to the hair, whether a woman chooses to keep her hair wavy, curly, or straight.

Try: The Carol Brady Style

Many older women are tempted to emulate the hairstyle popularized by sitcom sweetheart Carol Brady during the original run of The Brady Bunch. This “mock” mullet looks flattering on most older women.

The hair at the top of the head is layered and voluminous with this short hairstyle. Meanwhile, the hair that falls at the nape of the neck is feathered, creating a much softer, more feminine look.

Try: Layer It Up

There are probably a million ways to rock a layered bob cut. As they age, many women gravitate towards layered hairstyles because many layers of short, thin hair create the illusion of a much fuller head.

On top of that, it just adds a little bit of life to the standard bob cut, making for a more visually appealing end result. Many older women feel younger than their years when they adopt this flattering style.

Try: More Pixie Style

There are so many ways to customize a pixie cut, one of which is to merge bangs and the front layer of hair. This differs from most other female hairstyles as they generally keep bangs completely separate.

To achieve this particular style, pieces of the hair are razored, and certain strands of hair are pushed forward on one ‘s head. This cut technique helps create dynamic bangs that defy style norms.

Try: Rounded Bob

The rounded bob hairstyle is extremely popular among older women. By many, It is seen as a sophisticated and elegant look – but it also has the advantage of being a style that’s very easy to maintain day-to-day!

Using a rounded brush and a blow-dryer, women can surround the crown of their head with their hair. This in turn gives their hair some height and creates additional volume for a much fuller look.

Try: Pixie Undercut

While the traditional pixie haircut is a timeless style, many older women choose to further dress it up with a nice undercut. Oftentimes, this wavy hairstyle gives older women a youthful look and feel.

The softness of those waves makes this the perfect hairstyle for older women who want to add some sassiness to their appearance. Furthermore, it provides a little playfulness and excitement to the standard pixie.

Try: Voluminous Feathered

The voluminous feathered look is, unsurprisingly, one that many older women favor. It is best suited for women who want to keep their hair short but also want to maintain a feminine appearance.

A boost of extra volume is added to hair when adopting this style. A soft and simple solution, this style is very easy to maintain and provides the appearance of a lush, full head of healthy hair.

Try: One-Length Bob

In addition to the rounded bob, the one-length bob is a fun and easy style for older women to embrace. This hairstyle only takes a few layers to pull off, making it a bit easier to maintain at the salon.

Those layers play a big role in shaping a woman’s hairstyle. It provides many options that long hair isn’t needed for – wavy, straight and curly hair can all be formed into a beautifully rounded bob.

Try: Sleek Lob

The sleek lob is a great way to resist aging and use your hair to feel a little bit younger. A straight bob with an edgy, modern look to it, never feels outdated and is always easy to put together.

To complete the style in full, pair it with some long bangs. Allowing hair to fall right at the top of the eyebrows harkens back to the retro (but not out of style!) mod haircuts of yesteryear.

Now that you’ve found the best hairstyles for women over 60, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that many famous starlets have grown overwhelmed with hair-related decisions, and opted to just shave their hair off altogether. These are the most famous (and beautiful) shaved heads that have rolled through Hollywood…

Natalie Portman With Hair…

Natalie Portman has a reputation for being able to play any sort of role and her versatility as an actress is just one reason why she’s become such a success. This Israeli-born actress has been involved in the entertainment industry since she was a teen, and has now evolved into a critically-acclaimed director and producer.

Starting on the stage at tender age of 12, her big breakout role was in the iconic Star Wars prequels where she played the role of Queen Amidala, love interest to Anakin Skywalker. She has since gone on to play a number of iconic roles such as Jackie Kennedy in Jackie.

Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head

The depth and breadth of Portman’s acting abilities have placed her in the best hair/makeup chairs in the industry; she has pulled off many unique looks during her time onscreen, making even the most fantastic character engaging and relatable.

Playing Evie Hammond in V For Vendetta came with a requirement–she had to shave her head as she emancipated herself from government control. She loved the liberating feeling that less-is-more gave her, and sported the look for quite some time after film production wrapped.

Sigourney Weaver With Hair…

Sigourney Weaver is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Ellen Ripley in the terrifying Alien movies. She is known as a true pioneer of female heroines for action, with the Aliens franchise being iconic as the female lead in action thrillers.

Weaver is a seven-time Golden Globe nominee, and she scored Best Actress in a drama and Best Supporting Actress for her work in Gorillas In The Mist and Working Girl. She also has an impressive list of Broadway credits that have earned her Tony Award recognition.

Sigourney Weaver’s Shaved Head

As Sigourney slipped into the role for a third film in the Alien series, she embodied the character of Ellen Ripley, taking on the tough, shaven persona as she fought otherworldly adversaries on the prison planet of Fiorina 161.

Rumor has it that Weaver enjoyed her clean look so much that she kept it clean shaven long after the five-month shoot wrapped up. Regardless of how she decides to express her unique style, we think she looks fabulous.

Charlize Theron With Hair…

Stunning Charlize Theron is a South-African and American actress and producer that rose to prominence in the mid-90s with her roles in The Devil’s Advocate, Mighty Joe Young, and Cider House Rules.

Her performances have earned her numerous accolades and awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Monster, where she plays the role of serial killer Aileen Wuornos with chilling intensity.

Charlize Theron’s Shaved Head

No stranger to making herself look vastly different for a role, Charlize had previously shaved her eyebrows and worn prosthetic teeth to portray Wuornos in Monster, so a nearly-shaven head for 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road was no challenge at all.

Charlize won over the fans of action films in the non-stop thrill ride. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, she plays Furiosa in the film to critical acclaim. In fact, a prequel about her character is in production, but Theron will not reprising her role.

Karen Gillan With Hair…

Karen Gillan, a Scottish actress and filmmaker, gained worldwide recognition for her work in British film and television. Her work on the science fiction series Doctor Who earned her several award nominations and accolades.

Gillan rose to international recognition by portraying Nebula in the Guardians Of The Galaxy series, one of the highest grossing films of all time. She used her prowess to increase her involvement as a writer, director, and headliner in several other films.

Karen Gillan’s Shaved Head

Though none of her other roles required as dramatic a transformation as Nebula, Gillan rises to the occasion as she considers what each performance will require and how it will change how audiences perceive her.

When first attaining the role, she wasn’t too excited about shaving her hair to play under heavy stage makeup, but has since embraced baring all. This dramatic yet beautiful portrayal of such a strong female character has impacted audiences far and wide.

Evangeline Lilly With Hair…

Evangeline Lilly is a Golden Globe winner for her role as Kate Austen in ABC’s Lost. Her film and television credits aren’t limited to that series, however; she has also appeared in films such as The Hurt Locker, The Hobbit, and Ant-Man.

Born and raised in British Columbia, Evangeline had no thoughts of fame and fortune until she was discovered by a Ford modeling agency rep while chilling with friends. When she finally followed up with them, she landed several roles in commercials and television almost immediately.

Evangeline Lilly’s Shaved Head

Her natural talent and onscreen charisma led to several profitable roles, including her time on the hit television series Lost.  The speed at which she seemed to be ascending in the entertainment industry was almost too much for her, and she felt she needed to distance herself from media exposure.

And just like that, her wavy chestnut locks went from cascading to fading; she now rocks the bald look with more flair than most, and is working on both onscreen and off-screen pursuits at a much more leisurely pace.

Demi Moore With Hair…

Demi Moore is one of America’s most-loved onscreen sweethearts; her impressive list of film and television credentials is testament to her talent, and audiences across the world enjoy the quality and versatility that she adds to her roles.

Starting with a debut on General Hospital in 1981, Demi quickly gained recognition as a member of the “Brat Pack” alongside other eighties stars such as Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Andrew McCartney.

Demi Moore’s Shaved Head

Edgier work came her way as her style and talent evolved, and she took on roles in Ghost and Striptease, which spurred her on to even more daring and provocative roles, each one with dramatically different presentation.

Nothing screams feminine power quite like a shaven head: Demi Moore bared it all for her role in the 1997 hit film, G.I. Jane. One particular scene in the film has Moore’s character grabbing a razor and boldly shaving her head in an attempt to make it as a Navy SEAL.

Willow Smith With Hair…

Growing up in the public spotlight with two famous Hollywood stars as parents has both advantages, and drawbacks, as Willow Smith knows. She has managed to carve out a unique space in the entertainment industry independent of her parents.

Willow enjoys success these days as an actress, musician, rapper and songwriter. She debuted alongside her father in the 2007 film, I Am Legend and earned critical acclaim for her performance.  She followed her passions into the recording studio under the direction of mentor Jay-Z to release her first single, “Whip My Hair.”

Willow Smith’s Shaved Head

Her rapidly-rising star caused its fair share of struggles for young Willow; she admits she’s struggled with anxiety and depression for a number of years. The undercurrent of emotion came to a head during her performances, and she wanted to make a change.

Smith had boyfriend Tyler Cole shave her head as a symbol that she was ready to leave the past behind. She has chosen to rock the new short ‘do’ as a representation of choosing new experiences and adopting healthier ways of living.

Cynthia Nixon With Hair…

Cynthia Nixon elevated redheads everywhere to new levels of sexiness with her portrayal of Miranda Hobbs on Sex And The City. Unbeknownst to many, her acting credits started with some austere work on Broadway in productions such as The Philadelphia Story and The Real Thing.

Nixon’s ambitions stretch far beyond the stage; in 2018 she appeared on the ballot opposite Andrew Cuomo for governor of New York. Her solid platform brought to light issues such as income inequality, renewable energy, and universal healthcare.

Cynthia Nixon’s Shaved Head

While acting in the play Wit, Nixon made a courageous decision to jump into character Vivian Bearing, a poetry professor stricken with cancer.  Following in the footsteps of fellow actress Judith Light, who also played the role, Nixon shaved her head to add authenticity to the role.

In an interview done with Kelly Ripa, Nixon explained why the role struck a chord with her. Being diagnosed with breast cancer herself as recently as 2006, she knows well the ins and outs of treatment and all the emotional upheaval that comes with healing. She is grateful for the opportunity to represent the strength of other women with similar stories.

Amber Rose With Hair…

Amber Rose has a rebellious spirit, and it’s serving her well. She reportedly took on the role of caregiver shortly after her parents’ divorce; under the pseudonym “Paris,” she was rumored to have taken up stripping to help pay the bills for her family.

All that ambition earned her the attention of rapper Kanye West; he cast her for appearances in Young Jeezy and his 2008 video entitled “Put On.” After numerous appearances for artists like Ludacris and Wiz Khalifa, she signed with Ford Models in 2009.

Amber Rose’s Shaved Head

Taking her inspiration from Sinead O’Connor, she wanted to make a demonstration to others that she valued strength and individuality. She adopted the shaved look when she was younger, and rocked her signature blond buzz for 14 years before changing it up.

These days, Amber vacillates between her signature buzz cut and other hairstyles; experimenting with everything from a slicked back blonde bob to long auburn locks, there’s no telling what she’ll throw at us next.

Sinead O’Connor With Hair…

Sinead O’Connor had dreams of stardom from an early age, but her mother, who suffered from mental illness, had mistreated her daughter. But the artist persevered, and had a career making music and transforming her unique life views into a big name in the 80s and 90s. Her infamous appearance on Saturday Night Live when she tore up a picture of the Pope on air, shocked viewers.

Her debut album, The Lion And The Cobra, was released in 1987, and it contained the single that would later become the number one world single in 1990. “Nothing Compares 2 U” stayed at the top of the charts for months after its release.

Sinead O’Connor’s Shaved Head

Realizing quite quickly how her appearance impacted how she was received as an artist, O’Connor was disillusioned by several record executives with less than honorable motives. She was looking to sign with a label who recognized her as a true musical innovator.

After being targeted as a sex symbol on her rise to the top, Sinead made a bold move to shave her head, insisting that she prosper on musical merit. She believed that making herself more unattractive would protect her from anyone looking to take advantage of young women in the industry.

Tilda Swinton With Hair…

Katherine Matilda Swinton is a Scottish actress with a distinctive look and an equally distinctive performing career; she has won numerous awards for her work. She began her career with experimental films such as Caravaggio, War Requiem, and The Garden. After scoring some accolades for her performance, she broke into mainstream entertainment.

Her performance in The Deep End earned her a Golden Globe Award and paved the way for opportunities to shine in Vanilla Sky and Constantine. Swinton sealed the deal on fame with her iconic performance as the White Witch in The Chronicles Of Narnia.

Tilda Swinton’s Shaved Head

Swinton has always had a penchant for all things quirky and outlandish; her unique appearance and ethereal beauty have contributed to some fantastic characters throughout her career. In one of her most stunning performances yet, Swinton joined forces with Marvel to create The Ancient One for their film series.

In her role as The Ancient One in Doctor Strange, Swinton stretches her acting capabilities to their limits as she embraces both an other-worldly personality and a completely bald head. She is widely recognized and celebrated for her contribution to this character.

Halle Berry With Hair…

Halle Berry got her start as a model, competing in both the Miss USA and Miss World pageants before she landed a breakthrough role in the 1980s movie Boomerang alongside Eddie Murphy.

A number of serendipitous acting opportunities and a few great co-stars later, and Berry has been a staple in Hollywood for several decades. An Academy Award for Best Actress in Monster’s Ball and appearances as a Bond girl in Die Another Day, as well as a role in the X-Men movie series, she’s proven her versatility as an actress.

Halle Berry’s Shaved Head

Like many millions in 2020, quarantine was a tough go for Halle and her family. They kept sane by taking family walks, swimming daily in their pool, and scheduling family social activities to freshen things up a bit.

Unfortunately, all this swimming took a toll on her daughter Nahla’s hair; despite their many attempts to save her chlorinated locks, Halle ended up shaving Nahla’s hair to restore its health. In a touching show of solidarity, she took off her own as well.

Solange Knowles With Hair…

Solange Knowles likes her share of the limelight, but she isn’t so crazy about being constantly compared to her starlet sister, Beyonce. Despite being known as the “quieter” sister, many fans don’t know what an integral role she played in the success of Beyonce’s musical group, Destiny’s Child.

Solange has been a successful recording artist and performer in her own right since the release of her debut album, Solo Star, in 2002. After trying some acting roles from 2004-2007, she decided that her passions lay in singing and songwriting; she’s shined in that arena ever since.

Solange Knowles’ Shaved Head

With all of the success that she has achieved independent of her famous sister, Solange still feels that she lives in Beyonce’s shadow. She grew tired of answering interview questions related to Beyonce’s activities and achievements.

In the ultimate show of distinction and independence, Solange followed through on a threat made public when she shaved her head completely. She has been rocking the short do ever since, continuing to be an active and formidable force in entertainment and fashion.
