Good morning all you hair fanatics! Are you contemplating taking the plunge and going short on the current market? In any case, you are in for a real treat because I have compiled a list of twenty incredible short haircuts that will have you rushing to the salon as soon as you can speak the word “pixie cut.” Take my word for it, as someone who has tried out every possible length of hair, I can confidently say that short hair is the way to go. It is a lot of fun it is flirtatious, and it is a lot of freedom. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s have a look at these amazing short hairstyles that will make you fall head over heels for shorter hair!
The Classic Pixie
Starting with the pixie, which is the queen of short hairstyles. Short layers on top and short sides and back make this cut classic. So this is why I love it:
Extremely cheap upkeep. Then get out of bed and run your fingers through it.
It does a great job of showing off your face.
It works for perfectly straight hair as well as very wavy hair.
I usually just use a little texturizing paste to shape the top layers when I style. Why not add some fun color if you’re feeling really brave? Attractive hair colors like golden blonde or bright blue pixie will get lots of attention.
The Textured Bob
The smooth bob is the next style. This style is great for people who want short hair but aren’t ready for a pixie cut. The layers are what make this look work. How to rock it:
Get a chin-length bob with lots of choppy layers from your stylist.
Use a texturizing spray on wet hair when you want to style it.
Scrunch your hair as you dry it to give it more volume.
Use a light-hold hairspray to finish off the look and keep it in place.
This style is great because it makes your natural hair look better. Do you have curly hair? Enjoy the beachy vibes. Hair that is straight? You’ll look cool and put together.
The Asymmetrical Cut
Here’s something new for people who like to live on the edge: the uneven cut. This style has a bold, edgy look because one side is longer than the other. This is why it’s great:
It makes you want to talk. People will definitely ask about your hair.
It can be used in many ways. You can wear it smooth and sleek, or you can add some roughness for a messier look.
Any face shape can use it. Just change the length to make it look good on you.
A deep side part on the longer side is my best way to wear this cut. It makes a striking sweep that’s great for going out at night.
The Buzz Cut
I understand what you’re thinking. “A buzz cut?” “That’s really crazy!” But listen to me. There’s a good reason why the buzz cut is so popular right now:
It’s the most low-maintenance style ever. Never have a bad hair day!
It gives you power. The act of taking it all off makes you feel so free.
It draws attention to your face. It’s time to show off your pretty face!
Even better, as it comes out, you can try out lots of fun short styles. It’s like getting a new cut every two weeks!
The Shaggy Pixie
You like the idea of a pixie but would like something a little less tight. Now come the shaggy pixie. With this look, you should show off your natural texture and add a lot of choppy layers. Request the following:
Added length on top that can be styled to the side or forward.
Piecey ends with texture
Feathered, soft bangs (if you want them)
Let my hair air dry after using a sea salt spray to style it. It looks great on you and says “I woke up like this.
The Sleek Bob
The sleek bob is your new best friend if you want to look more put-together. When you cut your hair in this way, you want it to be smooth and shiny. How to get it:
Ask for a cut that hits you right in the jaw.
Spend some money on a good flat iron and heat protectant spray.
When you style your hair, use a smoothing cream to tame any frizz.
Use a shine spray to give it a finish that looks like glass.
When you need to look put-together quickly, this style is great for the job.
The Curly Crop
All of my friends with curly hair, listen up! The curly crop will make your life easy and your curls more springy. For this look, you should work with your natural texture instead of against it. Know this:
You can ask your stylist to cut your hair so that the top is curlier and the sides and back are shorter.
Spend money on good items that define curls. You must have a leave-in conditioner and a hair cream.
Accept the “wash and go” way of life. The best way to dry curls is to let them air dry.
Don’t worry if your wavy hair looks longer when it’s wet; it shrinks up when it dries.
The Undercut
Want to give your short style a little edge? Give it an edge! For this style, you shave or cut off a lot of hair from one part of your head (usually the back or sides) and leave the rest longer. This is cool:
It can be changed. You can be as quiet or loud as you want.
It works great for hair that is thick. The undercut gets rid of extra hair and makes styling easy.
It spreads out well. You can switch to other short styles as it grows.
You can also have fun with the undercut by shaving patterns into it. You can draw anything, from simple lines to complex designs.
The Tousled Lob
Not sure whether you want it short or middle length? The messy lob (long bob) is the right style for you. This style falls between your chin and shoulders, and adding texture makes it look even better. This is how I wear mine:
Use a volumizing mousse on wet hair to start.
Dry your hair rough, making sure to lift the roots.
To add open waves, use a curling iron that is middle-sized.
Use a texturizing spray to finish and scrunch your hair for an undone look.
The best part? This style looks good on all hair types and face shapes. It looks a lot like the little black dress!
The Side-Swept Pixie
Like the idea of a pixie cut but want to keep your hair a little longer? You can hear the side-swept pixie cut calling your name. For this style, the back and sides are shorter, but the top is longer and can be swept to the side. This is why it’s great:
It can be worn in more ways than a regular pixie. You can make it look smooth or unkempt.
It looks great with earrings that make a statement.
It makes thin hair look fuller, which is a good thing.
To style, I like to blow-dry my hair with a round brush to add volume. I then use a light-hold hairspray to keep everything in place.
The Textured Crop
You should get the smooth crop if you like a cool, laid-back look. This style is short all over, but the top has a lot of pattern. This is what you should ask your stylist:
Short sides and back. If you want to be bold, you can even go for a fade.
Lots of different lengths of layers on top
Point-cut ends to make it look more like a puzzle.
I love using a matte pomade to style my hair. Use your fingers to work a small amount through your hair, focused on making the top of your hair look like it’s made of pieces.
The Slicked-Back Look
Who says you can’t look beautiful with short hair? The slicked-back style is great for nights when you want your short hair to look a little more movie star. How to get the look:
Use a strong-hold gel on wet hair to start.
Smooth your hair back with a fine-toothed comb so that it follows the shape of your head.
Blow your hair dry with a blast of cool air to set.
Use a shine spray to give the finish a wet look.
The cool difference between the smooth top and short sides makes this style look great if you have an undercut or fade.
The Micro Bangs
Want to make your short cut a little better? Test out tiny bangs! Very short (above the eyebrows short) bangs like these make any short style look really cool. Know this:
They work best on hair that is straight or just a little curly.
To keep their length, they need to be trimmed often.
They’re a brave choice that will make people notice you.
For a look straight out of a French New Wave movie, wear them with a short cut or a bob.
The Layered Bob
Not sure whether you want a bob or a more complex look? Why not have both? You can have the best of both worlds with the stacked bob.
A bob that is about chin-length
There are a lot of layers all over to give it movement and depth.
parts that frame the face to soften the look.
This style is great because it can be styled in different ways and goes well with your natural hair structure. It can look sleek and straight, or you can add waves for a messier look.
The Faux Hawk
Do you feel like punk rock? You might find the fake hawk to be just what you need. Sides of this style are short, and there is a larger strip of hair down the middle of your head. How to style it:
Use a strong-hold mousse on hair that is still wet.
Use a round brush to add volume as you blow dry your hair straight up.
To make the middle part look like a “hawk,” use a strong-hold gel or pomade.
Use hairspray to finish and keep everything in place.
The best part? You can make this very quiet or very loud, depending on your taste. Start with a small mohawk and work your way up to a full-on one if you are brave!
The Braided Pixie
You don’t think you can braid short hair? Don’t believe it! The braided pixie is a fun way to make your short hair look more interesting. How to do it:
Start a French braid along your forehead with a small piece of hair from the front.
Keep braiding until you get to the back of your head.
Put it in place with a pin or a small rubber band if you need to.
If you have a longer pixie cut, this style will look great on you. But if your hair is really short, you can still add some small braids for a fun, boho look.
The Voluminous Crop
If you have fine hair, the thick crop is about to become your new favorite style. This style is all about making hair look bigger and thicker than it really is.
A short cut with many layers
Textured ends to make them move
A little longer on top to give it more volume
Before you blow-dry your hair upside down for style, use a root-lifting spray. Add extra volume to the roots with a texturizing powder to finish.
The Blunt Bob
Simple is sometimes best. For example, the blunt cut. Simply put, this style is all about a straight, sharp line. This is why it’s awesome:
It makes hair that is thin look fuller.
Style it easily. Just stand up straight and go!
It looks great and is classic, so it’s great for any event.
This style needs to be trimmed often to keep it looking its best. There is no need to be afraid of changing the length; it can be anywhere from the chin to the shoulder.
The Textured Quiff
Want to make your short style taller? Check out a textured quiff! Short hair on the sides and back of this style, and longer hair curled up and back on top. How to get the look:
Use a mousse that adds volume to wet hair.
When you blow dry your hair, use a round brush to move the top hair up and back.
When it’s dry, cut out the top with a matte paste to give it structure.
Use a strong-hold hairspray to finish and keep your quiff in place all day.
This style looks great on both straight and curly hair, and it makes round faces look taller.
The Pixie Shag
The pixie shag is the last but not least style. This cut has the layers and texture of a shag cut and the short length of a pixie cut. What you should ask for is this:
There are a lot of choppy levels all over.
Longer pieces around the face to make it feel smooth
Ends with texture and pieces
I like to use a sea salt spray on wet hair and then rough dry it for a look that is just right. It’s like having bedhead, but stylish!
