During the 70s, the full volume short layer bob was a major hit. This is all thanks to Olympic figure skater Dorothy Hamill. Fast-forward to the new millennium, the classic voluminous wedge is given a breath of fresh air. 

You can go for the asymmetrical style or be bolder with various stacking techniques. Perhaps a tapered back or graduated layer is more your thing? The possibilities of this cut are pretty much endless. Also, you may want to consider adding a bit of texture, such as highlights, waves, or uneven layers. 

The new wedge is ideal for any woman over 50 looking for something elegant but weightless, as well as wash-and-wear.
