But when it comes to shorter cuts, like buzz cuts and shoulder-skimming lobs, you have more choices than ever.
It doesn’t matter if you want a classic pixie or something a little more on-trend, like a modern Diana bob or shaggy bob. We talked to top stylists and found the coolest short haircuts for women. Read on for choices for every hair type and style, and get ready to take a picture. It seems likely that you’ll want to go to the salon right away.
90s Chop
Adam Federico, a hairstylist and vice president of professional education at R+Co, says that the ’90s bob is a great way to get a retro look that works for everyone. The lob gives the classic bob a modern twist and more styling options,” he says. “It’s skirt-length enough to tie or tuck behind the ears but short enough to wear and look good.”
He says to get the look, ask for a cut that falls between the shoulders and neck with light layers to add movement and say that you want a style that makes you think of the 1990s to get that nostalgic feel.
Flipped-Out Lob
Amy Abramite, creative director and stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago, says that the flipped-out lob is a different texture choice than the popular beach wave that gives hair a smoother look. “To make the flipped lob work, the length needs to be cut above the shoulders and be medium to thick so it can support the motion outward,” she says. “A blowout and curling iron will do the trick for straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair.
The edges of the bob are above the shoulders, and she says the medium-length layers give it lift and movement. “For the finishing touch, use a heat-protecting spray and a round brush with a blow-dryer to flip the hair over. Then, use a curling iron to lock in the flip.
Mid-Length Bob
Raven Hurtado, a barber at Maxine Salon in Chicago, says that the mid-length bob is one of the hottest new styles for short hair right now. She says, It gives natural movement and makes hair look fuller and thicker. It looks great on fine hair whether it’s worn straight or wavy because it makes hair look fuller.
Have it cut so that it sits just above the shoulders and swings when you move, she says. This haircut is good for people who like to keep things simple. Adding waves will make it your own, but the style is great as is.
Side-Swept Pixie
Do you want something even shorter? It might be time for a pixie now. Federico says, The pixie cut is versatile and can give you a bold, young look while still being low-maintenance, making it perfect for people who like to style their hair quickly. It also looks great on a range of hair types and can beautifully frame the face.
Tell the stylist that you want short sides and back hair with a few longer layers on top when you ask for a pixie cut. “Say whether you want a more classic or modern pixie cut,” Federico says. “Styles can range from more dramatic, spiky looks to softer, tousled finishes. To style your hair at home, towel dry it right after getting out of the shower and run R+Co HYPERLINK Fiber Stretch Pomade through it. This will give it definition, texture, and a satin shine. Then style it however you like.
Curly Crop
Federico suggests trying a curly crop cut with a curly fringe if you have curly or wavy hair. “The curly crop cut has short layers that bring out the natural curl pattern and give the hair a full, fun look,” he says. “It’s great for people with naturally curly hair because it embraces and enhances the curl pattern instead of trying to control it. It’s also a low-maintenance style that only needs a little styling every day.”
To get the look, ask your stylist for a short cut with layers that show off your natural curls. Also, let them know if you want a more defined shape or a more casual, wavy look. Fede says you should finish off this look with R+Co BLEU Super Style Creme. “Carefully separate and move your natural curls by working your fingertips through the crop and fringe.” Spread out to dry and set, and then use R+Co BLEU Featherlight Hairspray to finish.
Grown-Out Bixie
I’m seeing a lot of celebrities choose shorter, piecey, layered, and textured styles,” says Kieron Justin, a famous hairstylist. After being seen a lot on the catwalk, it made its way into everyday life with the return of the pixie cut and the bixie, whichis a mix of the bob and the pixie.
Asymmetrical Bob
Leo Izquierdo, director of IGK Hair Care, says, An asymmetrical bob is the perfect edgy style and a great choice if you want to really stand out. It’s like Victoria Beckham in the 2000s.
She says to get the look, ask your stylist for a bob that is longer on one side and cut at an angle. To style, use a flatiron and a smoothing serum to keep the hair straight to draw attention to the unevenness.
Bombshell Lob
Federico describes the bombshell lob as a longer version of the classic bob that falls between the shoulders and collarbone and often has subtle layers. It can be worn straight, wavy, or with a small bend. Choose Old Hollywood waves to make it look more bombshell and less Spice Girls.
“To style your hair at home, start by applying R+Co BLEU Essential Hair Tonic, which gives hair soft memory and shine. Then, tangle the hair until it’s completely dry,” he says. Use a flat iron or blow-dry brush to make soft, gentle bends in the hair.
French Bob
Fede says, The French bob is a stylish, classic bob that ends around the jawline with a slight curve inward. It’s styled to look naturally messy and often has a fringe or bangs. He also says that this style is classy and easy to keep up. It has a classic Parisian vibe and looks good on a wide range of face shapes. The French bob can be worn straight or with soft waves, so it can be used for many events.
To get the look, ask for a bob cut that ends just above or below the chin and bangs or fringes that look like they belong with the rest of the hair. For a casual French look, you want a shape that is soft and round with a bit of body.
French Lob
If you think the French bob is too short for you, try the French lob, which is a bit longer than the French bob. Hairdresser to the stars Glenn Ellis loves this medium-length cut for people with square or rectangle faces.
“Shoulder-length or shorter is best,” he says. “I love a good lob.” It also works great for people whose hair is thick or curly.
Blunt Bob
The blunt bob is classic and stylish, and it gives you a polished and businesslike look,” says Izquierdo. It looks good on straight and curly hair and is simple to keep up with regular cuts.
Find a hairdresser who can give you a bob cut that ends bluntly and straight across the face. He says, “Make sure the cut is sharp and even, with few layers for a smooth finish.” “When styling, smooth the hair with a flatiron and add a shine serum like IGK Crybaby Smoothing and Finishing Serum to make it look even smoother.
90s-Supermodel Bob
This year, one of the most popular bob cuts was? The supermodel haircut of the 1990s. Marc Mena, a celebrity hairstylist, says, “The cut has the line and length of the bob, but the top layers have much more texture, so it’s lighter on top and easier to flip around. Mena also says that the ’90s supermodel bob is the easiest and chicest way to quickly add volume and texture to short hair.
Shaggy Lob
A shaggy lob is the best way to give your hair volume and movement, Izquierdo says. It’s a great choice for people who want a little length but still like how easy a shorter style is to style.
You should ask your stylist for a long bob with layers. To style your hair, use texture spray or texturizing mousse to bring out the natural curls or waves.
Curly Chop
A short crop that shows off your natural curls is a great way to show texture while keeping your hair easy to style, says Izquierdo. Ask for a short cut that follows the pattern of your natural curls, with a few longer layers on top to give your curls room to grow. Use a curl-enhancing cream or gel, like Class of ’93 Curl Perfecting Whipped Cream, to style your hair and keep the curls in place.
Mid-Length Beach Lob
Equal parts This mid-length beach bob is both stylish and easy to take care of. The look was made by Mena for Madelyn Cline. It’s such a good in-between length for easy styling, she says. The hair is long enough to pull back into a ponytail or low chignon bun, but it’s not heavy.
Mena says to ask for a lob with long, stacked angles in the front to get the look. This is not a blunt chop. To make the shape on your face, you need some angles and long layers,” he adds. “It won’t fall flat because of the top layers and texture.
