Entering a new chapter often calls for a change in how we present ourselves. While we may have spent years fighting the gray, there is something incredibly liberating about finally letting it shine.
The right hairstyle makes all the difference between looking tired or looking sophisticated. So I put together a collection of short gray cuts to inspire your next salon visit, featuring styles that look great on everyone.
1. Textured Low-cut
Are you looking for the perfect way to rock short gray hair? This textured low cut is honestly such a winner in my book. It manages to be incredibly low maintenance while still looking completely adorable.
2. Short Bob Haircut
You have likely seen this style on your feed because it is a total classic for short gray hair. Just slick it back with a little styling cream or gel to get that upright volume. I love that you get such an outstanding result with minimal effort. It is easily a 10/10 look.
3. Ladies Fauxhawk Haircut
A fauxhawk is a seriously bold choice for women over fifty and that is exactly why I had to include it. If you are in the mood for a style that will make everyone stop and stare then this gray fauxhawk is the ultimate pick.
4. Pixie Haircut and Short Sides
This edgy pixie features short and clean sides with a bit more length on top for a fun contrast. It adds such a bold touch to your look but still works perfectly for everyday wear.
5. Flat Pixie Haircut
A smooth blow dry with a sleek finish gives this style a minimalist vibe that I adore. It is the perfect option if you want a sophisticated and elegant appearance.
6. The Big Chop Hair Style
Are you tired of the stress of dealing with plenty of hair? Try the big chop which is a trending style that speaks for itself. Rock it with a nice coat and some chic sunglasses and you are set.
7. Shoulder Length Haircut + Bangs
I know shoulder length isn’t technically short but we cannot leave out this length for gray hair. If your strands are long enough to graze your shoulders and you have the volume for bangs then you should absolutely go for it.
8. Cropped Pixie Haircut
If you prefer a simple and stylish look with minimal length then this pixie is for you. It is a clean and low maintenance choice that is perfect for busy women.
9. Pixie Cover-Cap Haircut
If you don’t have enough length to reach your shoulders then this pixie cover cap haircut should work for you. It has a relatively low profile but manages to look simply amazing.
10. Layered Pixie with Side Bangs
This look balances texture with a modern touch that feels so refined. It is the ideal cut for women who want to keep things classic and sophisticated.
11. Wavy Pixie Haircut
Just like a bob this pixie is the kind of hairstyle you get when you want a youthful vibe. You will need a good amount of gel and a talented stylist to pull this off but trust me it is worth every bit of effort.
12. Pixie Haircut with an Undercut
A pixie paired with an undercut creates such a striking and contemporary silhouette. This is the look for you if you are craving a unique and daring hairstyle.
13. Textured Pixie Haircut
Give some edge to your pixie cut with a textured finish. It creates a much more dynamic and voluminous appearance that I love.
14. Deva Cut Haircut for Women Over 50
This haircut is incredibly popular among ladies following the curly girl method so it is an excellent choice if you have natural curls.
15. Chin Length Bob Haircut
Whether natural or artificial this gray bob looks stunning on almost everyone. You might think gray hair ages you but when the style is this good it is a fair tradeoff. Plus this sleek chin length cut makes you look polished and put together.
16. Textured Pixie Cut
The versatility of pixie cuts is the reason they keep showing up on this list and I am not sorry about it. It is just such a great way to style short gray hair.
17. Short Shag Haircut
This short and shaggy haircut features tousled layers for a relaxed rock chic vibe. It is an adorable hairstyle for women who want to rock a carefree and edgy look.
18. Outward Curled Bob
We have all seen the regular gray bob but how about one that curves outward? This unique take might not be the most common gray hairstyle out there but it is a great option for professional women.
19. Bob Haircut with Fringe
Adding a fringe to your gray bob adds such a youthful and modern twist to the traditional style.
20. Tousled Pixie Haircut
A relaxed and soft pixie with tousled layers offers a casual vibe that is also super stylish. Plus it is incredibly easy to manage.
21. Fade Undercut + Short Top
This haircut is basically what happens when you combine a pixie with a fade undercut. It is a super cool option if you are interested in trying something different.
