Wedge haircuts are the most popular haircut for seniors with hair that is thinning. A hairstylist can use the natural pattern of the hair to create an attractive asymmetrical fringe, which can be any style with a vertical line sloping to one side.
If you’re over 60, then you might have noticed that your hair is starting to thin or recede near your temples. Your hairstylist might recommend some type of wedge haircut as one way of balancing out your look and making you more comfortable in public. Haircuts come in different styles and some are suitable for more than others; let’s take a closer look at what these haircuts entail.
1. Grey Wedge With A Side Part
I think this one is best for those with a natural hair color in the medium to dark range. The grey color adds depth and interest to the haircut, but it’s still an easy style that can be achieved by anyone.
2. Light Brown Wedge
If you prefer your haircuts closer to blond and have light hair, then you’ll love this shapely cut with its subtle highlights of blonde tones all over the head.
3. Flipped Out White Short Wedge
This is a great look for older gentlemen with thick hair who want a short haircut. It also works well for women, though the shortness of the spikes might make it harder to wear.
4. Very Short Wedge
This haircut is very short on the sides and back, but left long in the front with a few inches of bangs
5. Voluminous Wedge
This haircut is cut with a heavy volume on the back and sides so that there is plenty of hair to work with in styling.
6. Long Blonde Wedge
This haircut is long in the back, but has shorter pieces in front for a lighter look. This style has the haircut cut long on the sides and back, with long bangs for length. The front is left a bit shorter and more connected to the face.
7. Longer Inverted Wedge
This style is basically an upside-down wedge haircut, with the hair cut short at the sides and back but left down in the front. It’s interesting as it takes a natural hairstyle like an inverted wedge and gives it a very different look that has a more sophisticated feel to it than most inverted wedges do.
8. Textured Layered Wedge
This haircut has layers all over for maximum manageability and texture throughout the hair. This style is designed to create a lot of volume in the hair, with bangs that sweep back and a long, layered hairstyle that flows down around the ears.
9. Asymmetrical Wedge
This hairstyle is long on one side and short on the other, with a heavy angle to bring out the texture and create a body for volume in the hair.
10. Side To Side Wedge
This is a very tall hairstyle that starts on one side and goes all the way down to the end, but with a small slit left on each side.
11. Medium Wedge
This cuts off just above the ears and leaves long bangs in front, which are styled up by either hair spray or gel.
12. Top-Short Wedge
This cut will take a chunk of your hair off at the top, leaving it short at the bottom while also cutting off more from both sides, creating even shorter bangs that protrude out further than those in 4 of this list’s options.
13. 70s Inspired Wedge
This easy to style, short hairstyle is perfect for those days you don’t want to fuss with your hair and still look beautiful and chic.
14. Flattering With Glasses
This haircut looks flattering on most face shapes. Those with glasses can still have a short haircut, they just need to take extra care when styling it to make sure the ends don’t fall in their eyes.
15. The Wash And Wear
If you don’t want to spend a lot of time styling your hair this style is perfect. Just wash it, blow dry it and you’re good to go. You can easily add a few accessories if you like.
16. The Razor Cut
If you don’t want to be bothered with the styling process but still want a short haircut this style is great if your face shape is square (since it won’t turn out too messy or big) but round should try out an undercut instead.
17. The Edgy Wedge With Bangs
This edgy style is perfect for a night out. Just add some makeup, and hair accessories and you’ll look fab.
18. The Subtle Wedge
This style is perfect for those that don’t want to look like they have a lot of hair cut off (since the top part is longer). If your face shape is square, this might not be your best choice since it might look a bit asymmetrical but if your face shape is round or oval this will look great on you!
19. Retro Style Wedge
This short hairstyle is ideal for those with a round face shape since it will look less messy than ever (especially if you have some bangs in the front). If your face is square, you might look a bit like you have a bad haircut if you don’t use a good product but this style looks great on both round and squared faces too so don’t let that stop you!
20. Youthful Pixie Wedge Haircut
Some puffy hair combined with a short-cropped cut makes a great hairstyle for those that can’t commit to long hair yet.
21. The Shoulder Length Wedge Haircut
If you want a hairstyle that’s cute and easy to manage, this is great for you. You can try out this hairstyle if you have a lot of hair to cut off but don’t want to be too short. It will definitely look good on all types of women.
22. The Choppy Wedge
This style gives your hair the versatility to be both casual and formal at the same time. This one is definitely easier to style than ever since it doesn’t require much skill.
23. Low Maintenance Wedge Hairstyle
Roll the top sections of your hair up, twist it, and pin it in a low bun. Draw three large lines along your scalp: one for the straight strands at the front, one for the faded strands at the side, and one for your bangs. Cut hair under that third line with an electric clipper (don’t forget to cut off those bangs).
24. High Maintenance Wedge Hairstyle
The first thing is to create high-volume version of #1 with either teased high volume or volumized hair care products. Next comb all hair over a pineapple-shaped sponge then wash with shampoo.
25. Wedge With Undercut
Roll-up top hair and secure with a hair bun. Cut fringe as you please. You can either cut it into one length or cut it into layers for a more soft look.
26. Flattering For Curly Hair
This curly wedge cut is the perfect choice for those who have curls that are shorter to medium in length.
27. The Short Wedge Bob
The short bob is one of the best hairstyles for ladies with round faces. The cut can be lengthened or shortened to meet your needs.
28. Salt And Pepper Hair
This is one of the most popular hairstyles which can be worn on any hair texture. Since it is a subtle look, it can be worn by any age! This style is very simple to achieve, all you need to do is tuck the hair behind the ears and tousle it.
29. The Long And Layered Wedge Haircut
This style may work on women who have fine hair and want a more voluminous look, as it will create volume on top and bounce on bottom layers of hair at the same time!
These long layers are fun to create yourself or get from a professional hairstylist. There are numerous possibilities for this style; whether you want it layered into thick waves or shorter and choppy, you can make it as simple or complex as you like!
30. The Modified Wedge
This is a variation of the traditional wedge haircut. The back and sides are cut in a straight line, and then they converge towards the nape of your neck in order to form an angle.
