Short haircuts are making a major comeback this season, but with a relaxed twist. My hairdresser calls it the ‘undone’ look – styles that appear effortlessly tousled rather than perfectly coiffed. These cuts combine structure with just the right amount of messiness, creating that coveted ‘I woke up like this’ vibe while still looking intentional.
1. El Pixie texturizado
Forget the sleek pixie cuts of yesteryear. Today’s version features choppy layers and plenty of texture on top.
The secret is in the styling – a dab of texturizing paste worked through with fingertips creates that perfectly imperfect finish. This cut works especially well for fine hair that needs volume.
2. French Bob with Curtain Bangs
Parisian chic meets bedhead in this jaw-skimming bob with wispy curtain bangs.
The magic happens when you let it air-dry with minimal product. Slight natural waves create dimension without looking too ‘done.’ My hairdresser swears this cut flatters nearly every face shape.
3. Shaggy Mullet
Business in front, party in back? Not quite! Modern mullets feature soft layers throughout for a cohesive shape.
The key difference from vintage versions is the blended transition between lengths. A texturizing spray enhances natural movement, creating that coveted rock-star vibe without the dated stigma.
4. Blunt Bob with Lived-In Texture
Sharp ends meet casual styling in this contradictory-but-cool cut.
The precision of a bobo romo gets softened when you rough-dry hair and add subtle bends with a flat iron. My stylist recommends going slightly longer than you think – the weight helps achieve that perfectly undone look.
5. Cultivo rizado
Naturally curly hair shines in a short, layered cut that embraces texture rather than fighting it.
Instead of uniform curls, this style celebrates varying curl patterns throughout. A diffuser and curl-enhancing cream are your only styling necessities – the less manipulation, the more authentic the undone effect.
6. Androgynous Undercut
Bold yet versatile, this style features longer strands on top with closely cropped sides and back.
The contrast creates instant edge, while the longer top pieces can be styled multiple ways. My hairdresser loves how this cut looks when the top is left unstyled and slightly disheveled for maximum undone appeal.
7. Micro-Bangs with Bob
Ultra-short fringe paired with a chin-length bob creates striking visual interest.
The tiny bangs make a statement, while the rest maintains an unfussy, tousled texture. My stylist suggests asking for uneven micro-bangs rather than a perfect straight line for that authentic undone aesthetic.
8. Disconnected Pixie
Longer pieces on top create dramatic contrast with ultra-short sides in this edgy interpretation.
Unlike traditional pixies, this version embraces disconnection between sections rather than blended transitions. The top can be worn smooth or – my stylist’s preference – tousled with fingers for that perfect bedhead vibe.
9. Layered Buzz Cut
Not your standard military cut! This modern buzz features subtle length variations throughout.
The slightly longer top creates natural texture even at super-short lengths. My hairdresser recommends this for anyone wanting minimal maintenance while still achieving that coveted undone aesthetic.
10. Lob asimétrico
One side slightly longer than the other creates subtle intrigue in this collarbone-grazing cut.
The beauty lies in its versatility – it can be styled sleek or, as my stylist prefers, with lived-in waves. The asymmetry adds instant edge without requiring perfect styling to look intentional.
11. Bedhead Bowl Cut
Forget the precise edges of traditional bowl cuts! This modern version features soft, textured ends and natural movement.
The circular shape remains, but texturizing shears create piece-y definition instead of a solid perimeter. My hairdresser calls this the ultimate cool-girl cut for those brave enough to try it.
12. Choppy Chin-Length Bob
Razor-cut ends create instant texture in this jaw-skimming style.
Unlike precision bobs, this version celebrates uneven edges and natural movement. My stylist recommends rough-drying with fingers rather than a brush for that perfectly imperfect finish that looks intentionally undone.
13. Grown-Out Pixie
That awkward growing-out phase? Actually a trendy style now! Longer pieces around the face with shorter back sections create interesting dimension.
This cut embraces the natural growth pattern rather than fighting it. A bit of texturizing paste enhances the deliberate messiness that makes this look so current.
14. Shattered Bob
Traditional bob shape gets modernized with heavily texturized ends that create movement and dimension.
The ‘shattered’ technique removes weight without changing length. My hairdresser loves how this cut naturally falls into place with minimal styling, perfect for achieving that coveted undone aesthetic.
15. Tousled Pageboy
The retro mushroom-like shape gets a modern update with choppy ends and casual styling.
Unlike the sleek versions of decades past, today’s pageboy embraces natural texture and movement. My stylist recommends this for straight hair types that want structure with an effortless vibe.
16. Layered Bixie
Part bob, part pixie – this hybrid cut offers the best of both worlds with varied lengths throughout.
Longer than a pixie but shorter than a bob, the bixie features lots of layers for movement. My hairdresser suggests enhancing natural texture rather than smoothing for that perfect undone finish.
17. Soft Undercut Crop
Gentler than a traditional undercut, this version features gradually shorter sides rather than a dramatic buzz.
The top remains long enough for texture and movement. My stylist loves how this cut maintains a feminine feel while still delivering that cool, undone edge many clients seek.
