A pixie is a low-maintenance and great haircut for thin hair. This super short length is easy to finger-comb to give some texture. Comb down a small portion up front to make short bangs for flattering face framing.

16. Short Silver Hawk
With a mohawk-inspired hairstyle, women over 70 can instantly bring out their inner baddie. Just make sure the top part of your hair is longer than the sides. Then use your hands to shape the spike.
