How many times has a celebrity stepped out with a fresh, short haircut, and suddenly, the whole world is obsessed? Countless! If you’ve been toying with the idea of chopping your locks like your favorite it girl, this is your sign to go for it.
While long hair is often praised for its versatility, let’s be honest—how often do we really change it up? Short hair with layers is no-fuss, easy to style and the perfect cure for long hair fatigue.
Scroll through to discover the most stylish looks you’ll be rushing to recreate.
1. Pixie With Choppy Layers
Thanks to the choppy layers, this pixie cut has lots of volume and texture on top. This not only makes it more flattering, but also provides some fun styling options.
2. Layered French Bob
With some subtle layers, the French bob becomes even airier and softer. Style it as little as possible for the most gorgeous natural look.
3. Curly Cut With Wispy Layers
All curly girls know that layers are a necessity for curly hair. This look pairs wispy layers and wispier bangs to let these beautiful curls be as bouncy as possible.
4. Short Curly Crop
How pretty is this crop? It proves that even a very short cut can enhance the hair’s texture and make it stand out.
5. Blunt-Cut Layered Lob
You want to get the chop, but you’d miss long hair too much? Try a layered lob—it’s long enough that it can be tied up and styled like long hair, but it has the lightness of a bob.
6. Choppy Bob With Bangs
This super choppy bob is almost a tiny shag, and it combines the best features of both: a gorgeous shaggy face frame and a crisp, manageable length.
7. Blunt Textured Bob
Unless it’s paired with texturizing layers, a blunt-cut bob can be too blocky and stiff. The layers give it movement and enhance texture, making it much more flattering and manageable.
8. Short Shag
This beautifully carved short shag is tailor-made for the person wearing it. If you decide you want something similar, consult your stylist on what would look the best on you.
9. Pixie Cut With Side-Swept Bangs
A pixie cut with side-swept bangs is elegant and effortless, and maintenance is so easy. If you want a feminine, sophisticated short haircut you don’t need to style, this is the winner.
10. Choppy Bixie Cut
Styling a choppy bixie with mini bangs consists of nothing but some styling cream through wet hair you then let air dry. The cream will keep frizz at bay and add some texture to your tresses.
11. Layered Bob Haircut
The light, breezy layered bob can be worn in so many ways you might not even discover all of them. Try some of these trendy options: a blowout, a wet look or pin-straight and tucked behind one ear.
12. Textured Lob
What might be the most popular haircut of the 2010s is still going strong, although it has some competition these days. Still, the textured bob is so practical and flattering that we’ll keep going back to it for years to come.
13. Choppy Pixie Cut
The choppy pixie is edgy and stylish, and because it’s so short, it gives you a chance to experiment with colors without fear of damage.
14. Short Wolf Cut
We’ve been obsessed with layered haircuts, and none as much as the wolf cut. The constant feature of every aesthetic mood board, this airy cut looks especially cool when it’s short.
15. Lob With Face-Framing Layers
The right face frame will take your look from good to great and it isn’t exclusive to long hair. This lob has it, but other, much shorter haircuts do as well.
16. Bob With Long Bangs
Similarly to long layers, long bangs add movement to the hair without making the haircut look disconnected. Combine the two to get a bouncy haircut that works with all hair types.
17. Short Layered Mullet
A tiny mullet that combines a layered pixie cut in the front with longer pieces in the back is super flattering on round faces, elongating them and adding some sharpness.
18. Long Layered Bob
The collarbone-length lob is one of the fall hair trends we love. If you’re growing out a bob, this isn’t the awkward phase any longer, but a gorgeous look to go for.
19. Pixie Cut With Long Layers
To make a pixie cut feel modern, skip excessive styling and embrace your natural hair texture. That’s how you’ll make it look laid-back instead of overly styled.
20. Lob With Layers And Bangs
Bangs make every haircut better, and those who disagree haven’t explored all the types of bangs out there. Here, curtain bangs frame the face and soften the look.
21. Short Shag With Micro Bangs
Short, sharp bangs are daring, but when worn right they accentuate the eyes and cheekbones by removing all distractions and allowing your face to be the focus of attention.
22. Layered Bixie Haircut
This fluffy layered bixie cut borrows from popular long layered haircuts to become airy and bouncy. Depending on how you style it, it can be anything, from edgy to conservative.
23. Long Choppy Bob
This long choppy bob is lightweight and manageable, thanks to the texturizing layers that give it movement.
