Short hair for over 60's

Ok it is pointless carrying on with a bob when my hair is mega frizzy and I have a potato face.

I love the pixi look but do not have a pixie face.

My problem is when I try to cut and paste an image it is mainly pinterest and won't let me. I am trying to get some images to show the hairdresser tomorrow.

I don't want a fringe or hair in my eyes but also don't want everyone to see my huge forehead.

Any ideas or photos?

Stop fighting the curl. I spent years frantically blow drying to try to keep my curly hair straight. Never worked, just went frizzy. Recently I have grown it past shoulder length, I use lots of leave in conditioner and curl cream (Lush Curl Power is great). Comb it through damp hair then don’t touch it at all and leave it to dry naturally. Result is a cascade of ringlets that I love rather than a ball of frizz. The extra length helps weigh it down so it forms proper curls rather than frizz.

I’m 60 and have had a soft pixie for decades.
shorter sizes and cut into the nape of my neck
it’s so easy to manage 5 minutes to wash, dry and style.
I’ve tried all the gels, clay, putty and pastes and always go back to good old fashioned mousse!
just google images and snapshot ideas

I do have it cut and coloured every 4 weeks though but it only costs me £45 as she hardly uses any products!
