Getting a new haircut is the easiest way to change your look and going short is the most dramatic transformation of all. You can frame your face, embrace your natural texture or just have fun low-maintenance hair; short hair offers easy upkeep and fabulous style in equal measure.
Thinking about making the cut? These 10 short hairstyles for women will leave you feeling inspired.
1. Classic Bob
The iconic chin-length bob flatters nearly every face shape, especially oval and heart. It’s perfect sleek, it’s perfect tousled—its structured cut always looks flawless.
2. TWA
For natural curls, the TWA is a low-maintenance choice that celebrates natural texture and comes with effortless style. It highlights the features but keeps the care and styling routine simple.
3. Bixie Cut
The lovechild of a pixie and bob, the bixie became huge in the ’90s and now its back alongside nostalgia. Keep it soft and feathery or add texture if you want an edgy face-framing look.
4. Modern Mullet
The modern mullet is edgy texture and shape. It’s a bold look that works best with choppy layers and an attitude.
5. Textured Pixie
The textured pixie is great for fine hair, adding height and dimension. To style, highlight your natural texture and enhance layers with a styling cream.
6. Blunt Bob
The sharp edges of the blunt bob create drama and precision, but this haircut is much more than that. It accentuates the jawline when it’s sleek, but curl it and you get the softest, most romantic vibe.
7. Short Shag
Rockstar energy and effortless texture. The short shag has soft layers and choppy ends, so in addition to being the coolest, it also adds volume and body to thin or straight hair.
8. French Bob
This cropped bob with a Parisian vibe is trés chic. Landing just above the jawline, it pairs perfectly with wispy bangs and emphasizes cheekbones. Timeless and so pretty.
9. Long Pixie
Short but with some length, the long pixie will give you a great face frame. It’s long enough to play with styling and short enough to wash and go in minutes.
10. Fluffy Crop
The fluffy crop is all about soft volume. Perfect for thick or curly hair, this cut doesn’t go against natural texture, but lets it shine instead.
