Short, curly, and over 60?
That’s a power combo right there.
Curls have a personality all their own—and they don’t retire when you hit your sixties.
In fact, this is when they really come into their own.
Short curly haircuts are chic, manageable, and full of texture that brings out your best features.
They’re also low-fuss, which means less styling and more living.
And let’s be honest—no one wants to spend an hour in front of the mirror when there are better things to do.
In 2025, the short curly trend is all about embracing what you’ve got.
Think natural shapes, flattering layers, and colors that enhance your glow.
From cropped coils to tousled shags, there’s no shortage of inspiration.
So if you’re ready for a haircut that actually works with your curls instead of fighting them—you’re in the right place.
