Here's a picture of Shirley Jones at the Pat Boone Birthday Celebrity Roast in Beverly Hills on the 1st of June 2014. Her stylishly short pixie hair is blow dried and finger-styled in such a manner that her platinum hair frames her striking face.

It is hard to believe that Shirley is almost 80 years old in these photos; proving that a pixie cut can be even more rejuvenating than a facelift. This is a very versatile and practical hairstyle for women all over the age spectrum, but especially practical and flattering for older women.

Shirley's hair is cut in an easy short pixie style, leaving short wisps of hair to frame her face and soften the look. To create this style, merely apply blow dry lotion to wet hair and finger-dry the hair until dry.

Because the hair is so short, it is usually unnecessary to use a round brush a lot. Use your fingers to comb the hair into the correct directions while blowing. If your hair is longer or has more of a coarse structure on top, use a brush to blow-dry that section.

For older women, it may be necessary to tease the hair for volume and thickness. Tease the hair, especially on top of the head with a teasing-comb and brush it into place afterwards until you have the desired look. After you've finger-combed the hairstyle into place, spray it with a gloss medium-hold spray to keep all the wisps in place and add that beautiful shine.

Shirley's hair is a platinum ash blonde. This color will mostly only work with women with light complexions and eyes.
