Cutting hair short for women over 40 ranges from ear to chin length, revealing the neck and shoulders. If done right, these bobs stand on their own!

Megan Williams, a Connecticut-based hairstylist, gives her best advice to women who want a shortcut. “Start with a long cut and work your way up,” she advises. ” This gives you a chance to get used to the layering and style, which can help you determine your preferences. I would suggest starting with an angular square with minimal layering to get used to the cut,” Williams adds.

Adding layers and texture to any cut can make or break the style. If you add a lot of layers, you’ll get a stacked look in the back that will require more styling. Minimal layers create a cuter, messier look that requires little to no styling.

Meanwhile, a lot of texture in the cut helps manage the fullness of the hair. This is ideal for women with thicker hair.
