You can try, but you can’t stop smiling! That is what this inverted bob does to you. Take that stress buster to your hair and add some waves to it to calm you down. This is also the perfect way to add hints of blue to accentuate the grays in your hair.
Favour Akinjiyan of Favoured Beauty says “A growing out pixie can give you some really flattering bangs. You must also take the shape of your face into account when picking the type of glasses you pair with your bangs.”
15. Layered Lob
![Layered lob hairstyle for older women with glasses Layered lob hairstyle for older women with glasses](https://cdn2.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Layered-lob-hairstyle-for-older-women-with-glasses-1.jpg)
A layered bob is the easiest way to add volume and texture to your hair. As we age, the right haircut can work wonders in giving us a more youthful appearance. The hairstyles that make you look younger often focus on soft layers, face-framing cuts, and playful textures. I especially like that the top layer is a lighter brown, and it gets darker as you reach the final layer. It adds dimension to the bob.
16. Toned Shades
![Toned shades hairstyle for older women with glasses Toned shades hairstyle for older women with glasses](https://cdn2.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Toned-shades-hairstyle-for-older-women-with-glasses-1.jpg)
A light blonde at the top that bleeds into darker shades of blonde: this blonde dimensional look is ah-mah-zing! The light blonde locks soften the layers and help in framing your face beautifully.
17. Soft Colors
![Soft colors hairstyle for older women with glasses Soft colors hairstyle for older women with glasses](https://cdn2.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Soft-colors-hairstyle-for-older-women-with-glasses-1.jpg)
Blonde hair serves as a great canvas for all hair colors. And just because you have reached a certain age, it does not mean you should stop playing around with fun hair colors. This blonde bob done up in shades of baby pink is proof of that.
18. Asymmetrical Bob
![Asymmetrical bob hairstyle for older women with glasses Asymmetrical bob hairstyle for older women with glasses](https://cdn2.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Asymmetrical-bob-hairstyle-for-older-women-with-glasses-1.jpg)
Ladies, raise your hand if you’ve never wanted voluminous locks! I bet none of you raised your hand. All us women want are thick and luscious tresses. If you have short hair, get it cut in a graduated asymmetrical bob to add volume and a quirky touch to it.
19. Messy Pixie
![Messy pixie hairstyle for older women with glasses Messy pixie hairstyle for older women with glasses](https://cdn2.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Messy-pixie-hairstyle-for-older-women-with-glasses-1.jpg)
Messy hair is an enigma on its own. So, it comes as no surprise that a messy bob makes for a killer look. This would be a perfect hairdo for those hot summer days when all you want to do is tie up your locks.
20. Stacked Bob

Back in the early 19th century, it was a trend to flaunt a deeply curved hairline curve. It’s time to bring back that trend by sporting this stacked bob with a curved hairline at the back. The blunt bangs in the front will beautifully frame your face with the glasses.
21. Asymmetrical Wedge Cut

Whenever I see fine sand at the beach, I feel the uncontrollable urge to build a sand castle. The blonde locks of this bob make me feel the same way. If I had glossy hair like this, I would style it in a new way every day with lace braids, a faux-hawk, and what not!
22. Classic Pixie

The second I saw this image, it spoke to me. I have thin hair, and I had this preconceived notion that thin hair does look good when cut in a pixie. This hairstyle is giving me so much joy!
23. Long Sideburns

There are two things that you can do to add oodles of dimension. First, get it cut in a layered pixie. Second, color it in multiple shades of one color (like this fiery red). Trust me, all eyes will be on you when you sport this look.
