100 Best Short Hair Styles & Short Haircuts for Women in 2023

 

While long hair may have a reputation for versatility, short hair has just as much styling potential! From a classic bob and lob to choppy pixie cuts, layered looks, and brilliant braids, short hairstyles do it all – and there’s one to suit everybody. If you’re ready to take the plunge and chop it all off, keep reading for some serious hair inspiration.

 

1. Short Layered Curly Hair

Layers are a perfect match for short curly hair, particularly if it’s on the thicker side. The different hair lengths work with the natural movement, texture, and bounce of curls. At the same time, layers break up the ‘mass’ of curly hair and give it a subtle, flattering structure. The final result is a soft, casual, yet chic haircut with a retro ’70s vibe.

 

 

2. Braided Side With Natural Short Hair

Braids add personality and unique touch to any hairstyle, particularly if your hair is short. For ladies with short natural hair, braiding the sides creates a striking visual contrast with your loose curls. It’s also less time-consuming than cornrowing all your hair. At the same time – depending on the final effect you want – your stylist may not need to add any braiding hair to create the look.

 

 

3. Short Messy Spikes

Short, messy, spiky hair isn’t just for the guys – it also looks great on women. For best results, the same rules apply, too. The key is to make sure your spikes aren’t too structured or stiff. Instead, go for a tousled, textured look with all the angles and volume, but without the rigid, ‘crispy’ look that using too much product can create. The result is a modern, chic, and androgynous look that works for every occasion.

 

 

4. Short Crimped Hair

Crimping is one of the biggest hair trends of the year, and it looks amazing on short hair. Even ladies with a pixie cut can get in on the crimping action! The best type of crimped hairstyle for shorter hair is ‘accent’ crimps – that is, creating mini, kinky crimped sections that fall around your face rather than trying to crimp all your hair. Not only is it quick and low-maintenance, but the hairstyle also has a throwback ’80s vibe.

 

 

5. Short Shag Haircut

One of the coolest haircuts of all time – the shag – is back in all its glory. Perfect for those who love an edgy, ’70s-inspired look, the shag haircut is all about attitude. Designed for shorter hair lengths, the shag is a great way to add more body and volume to your hair. Plus, it can be adapted to suit your face shape depending on where the layers end and if you want to add a fringe.

 

 

6. Inverted Bob Hairstyle

Inverted bob haircuts involve cutting hair on an angle so that the back section is shorter than the front. This creates a cool graduated effect that always turns heads. One of the most popular and visually striking inverted haircuts is a short-stacked inverted bob. Also called an A-line stacked bob, this cut has sharper angles than other inverted styles. It is a bold choice for ladies who want to stand out from the crowd while still looking chic, polished, and professional.

 

 

7. Mohawk

Want to show off your edgy, punk side? You can’t go past a mohawk. To adapt the classic style for modern times, soften the central section by using less product. Instead of a rigid, pointy mass, style your hair into upright waves and curls for a stylish undone effect. Meanwhile, instead of skin-shaving the side sections, buzz them short. This creates an overall result that’s more unique and less ‘costume-y.’

 

 

8. Dutch Braid With Ponytail

It’s a common misconception that you need long hair to create amazing braided hairstyles. However, they look just as good on shorter hair lengths, such as a lob. One of the most striking options for short hair is adding a Dutch braid element. Draw attention to your hair by braiding the central section, then create contrast by smoothing the other sections into a sleek ponytail.

 

 

9. Micro Bowl Cut

The term ‘bowl cut’ might make you think of the hilariously awkward kids’ haircut from the ’80s and ’90s. However, it’s come a long way since then! The modern bowl cut for women is much shorter, creating a micro-bangs effect. Bold, unique, and low-maintenance, a micro bowl cut is a great option if you want an alternative to the classic pixie cut.

 

 

10. Dutch Braid Pigtails

Dutch braid pigtails – also known as double Dutch braids – are a cool and stylish option for short hair, especially if you are growing out bangs. Because all your hair is woven into the plaits, you won’t have any pesky strands in your face. For that same reason, Dutch braid pigtails are ideal for when you want to show off statement make-up and earrings. At home on the catwalk and in the gym, Dutch braid pigtails are a versatile hairstyle for short hair.

 

 

11. Short Ponytail Hairstyle

While short hair isn’t long enough to create a classic mid- or high-ponytail, a low ponytail is a great option. Chic and sophisticated, the look hinges on creating lots of movement and texture. Leave some smaller sections loose at the front to frame your face, then pull the rest of your hair back into the ponytail. To avoid looking too severe, build up some volume at the crown with sea salt spray or texturizing spray.

 

 

12. Messy Bowl Cut

For the bold types, a messy bowl cut is a great statement look for short hair. Cool and quirky, it’s a hairstyle that stands out and attracts attention. Because it is such a bold choice, you can pair it with more avant-garde and eccentric make-up elements – like a glitter lip or graphic eye look. Ladies who love to express their offbeat and artistic side should consider a messy bowl cut.

 

 

13. Short Layered Haircut for Fine Hair

One of the challenges for short fine hair is looking thin and wispy. To create the illusion of thicker, fuller hair, have your stylist add choppy layers. The different hair lengths create more dimension and movement, drawing the eye towards your hair’s ends rather than the fine roots, where thinning is most noticeable. Pair the short layered cut with a mix of highlights and lowlights to create an even more dynamic look.

 

 

14. Temple Shave Pixie

It’s all about attitude with the temple shave pixie cut, which suits bold ladies with a dramatic flair and those who prefer the androgynous look. It marries an undercut effect with asymmetric side bangs to create a statement hairstyle that defies expectations. The angle of the bangs makes it a particularly flattering cut for heart-shaped faces. Alternatively, ask your stylist to cut the pixie a little shorter and style it without the bangs.

 

 

15. Loose Braids Platinum Blonde Short Hair

Going platinum blonde can worsen split ends and dryness, which is why hairstylists often recommend losing a few inches after you bleach your locks. A short platinum blonde haircut looks striking and is bound to grab attention – and you can make it stand out even more by adding loose braids. Try a side-to-side crown braid or plait the side sections for an undercut effect.

 

 

16. Fine Short Hair Updo

It can be tricky to style fine short hair; however, one of the best options is a twisted updo. Not only is the hairstyle pretty and playful, but it’s also straightforward to do. Spritz through some texturizing spray to give your hair some extra grip, then divide into two sections and twist into low mini buns. Use clear elastics or bobby pins to secure the buns in place. Add hairspray to hold everything in place, as fine hair tends to ‘fall out’ of styles more quickly than thick hair.

 

 

17. Buzz Cut

For those who want the boldest take on short hair, there’s nothing like a full buzz cut. Cool, chic, and low-maintenance, the buzz cut is perfect for confident ladies who aren’t afraid to take risks and stand out. Before getting a buzz cut, it’s important to consider your face shape, head shape, and features. A buzz cut tends to exaggerate strong features and add definition to soft ones. To predict how a buzzcut will look on you, tie your hair in a tight ponytail and take photos of your profile.

 

 

18. Tomboy Haircut

If you prefer a more fuss-free approach to hair, then the tomboy haircut may be just what you’re looking for. Edgy and easy to style, the appeal of this look is its simplicity. It can make a statement without effort and looks particularly striking if dyed a bold shade like bleached blonde or platinum.

 

 

19. Pixie With Short Bangs

If you are ready to cut your hair short but want a look that will complement your facial symmetry and create a balance, then a pixie with short bangs is a perfect choice. Bangs are popular because they can highlight your features and draw attention to your face. They also add volume and help to achieve a stylish and fun appearance. The pixie cut has been popular for decades, loved because of its low maintenance and edgy appearance.

 

 

20. Curly Pixie with Bangs

The fantastic thing about the pixie cut is that it is incredibly versatile and can be recreated with various hair textures and types. This is great if you are blessed with naturally curly hair, as the short cut will accentuate your locks. Opting for bangs can frame the face but also create a messy and soft look. This is also a fantastic way to keep your curls in check, avoiding the hassle of having to spend time detangling them.

 

 

21. Long Pixie Cut

A long pixie cut is perfect for a woman who wants a fresh new look but still wants to keep some length. It can have a very feminine appearance and frame your face, but it is still quick and easy to style. The added length also gives you more versatility in terms of styling. It is an excellent choice for someone who has never had short hair before as it is not as dramatic as a short pixie or tomboy haircut.

 

 

22. Layered Bob

Layered bobs are incredibly flattering and will suit most hair types. It is a popular choice because the layers frame the face, and women of all ages can wear it. The layers help add movement and texture and will work well on medium and fine hair. Fantastic for creating fullness; this is a hairstyle that does require some styling but is gorgeous.

 

 

23. Voluminous Bob

The bob haircut is a popular choice for women because of its versatility. It is relatively low maintenance and can be adapted in many ways to suit your face shape and hair type. If you love big hair, then embrace the voluminous bob. It is all about movement and will make your hair look healthy and full. Undeniably one of the most glamorous looks you will find, this style will get you noticed and draw attention to your face. It can also soften your features.

 

 

24. Angled Pixie Cut

What is not to love about the pixie cut? The beauty of this fuss-free short style is that it can be adapted to suit your face shape, hair type, and texture. An angled pixie cut is an excellent choice for someone who wants a look that makes a statement, and the way the hair falls draws attention to one side of your face. This can help balance your features and soften your face, but it can also say a lot about your personality. Keep it sleek and straight for an edgy appearance, or tousled for a more carefree approach.

 

 

25. Pink Bob with Bangs

A pink bob with bangs is the perfect look to express yourself and show off your personality. The bob is a classic because it looks fresh and can be adapted to suit your style, making it modern. Wearing it with bangs draws attention to your eyes and cheekbones and makes a stylish finish. Deciding to dye your hair a bold color will highlight your cut and hair texture, but it also allows you to show off your playful side. Pink is a color associated with femininity and love. Wear it with confidence and enjoy the attention that is bound to come your way.

 

 

26. Feathered Pixie Cut

Deciding on a feathered pixie cut will give your hair dimension and make it appear thicker and fuller. Feathering is a technique used to give your hair texture with fine layers; named this way because they resemble a bird’s feathers. Depending on your chosen cut, it can be modified and adapted, but it is a fantastic option for women with fine hair who want a chic, fashion-forward appearance.

 

 

27. Wavy Short Bob with Bangs

The fantastic thing about wavy hair is that it is a texture that can be adapted to suit many different cuts, but it also has movement and dimension to it. If you are blessed with naturally wavy hair and are looking for a modern haircut, then a short bob with bangs is great. It is bold, draws attention to your face, and can have a soft and feminine appearance making it look like you have just stepped off the beach. Keeping your hair short is less maintenance and will drastically reduce grooming and style time.

 

 

28. Short Bob with Nape Design

If you want a trendy and fashion-forward cut, look no further than a short bob with a nape design. The bob is a versatile style, suiting many hair textures and face shapes, but you can really make it personal by opting for a nape undercut. The small shaved area at the top of the neck makes your look interesting and edgy. It also creates a contrast between your hair and the neck, highlighting your natural texture.

 

 

29. Graduated Bob

A graduated bob appears longer at the front and features a tapered back and stacked layers, making the back of your hair more voluminous. It can be created on various hair lengths and textures but tends to stand out on straight hair as it enhances the dimension of the cut. To make your look more interesting, opt for pretty natural highlights. This is a flattering and feminine option for any woman.

 

 

30. Side Parted Bob with Hair Barrette

Hair barrettes were first popular in the 80s, but they are enjoying a resurgence of popularity because they are one of the prettiest accessories you will find. There are many ways to wear it, including pulling the hair away from your face in a side-parted bob. This is a stylish look that is flattering because it can soften your face and creates a very feminine appearance. Play around with different hair barrettes to find one that best suits your style.

 

 

31. A-Line Haircut

An A-line haircut gets its name because it is longer in the front and shorter in the back. The transition between these two lengths is gradual and makes a stylish taper toward the face. The way the hair falls along your chin and towards your shoulders makes for a very chic and modern look, and this is the perfect option for a woman who wants to try out short hair without opting for something super short. It is less daring, but it is no less gorgeous.

 

 

32. Platinum Blonde Bowl Cut

The bowl cut is a look that is the same length all the way around the head. It was popularized in the 80s but now has a modern twist. It is more adaptable and can be paired with disconnected sides for an edgy look or created in bold hair colors. Platinum blonde is undeniably one of the most noticeable hair colors. It makes an instant statement and is bound to get your hair noticed. If you have naturally textured hair, your appearance will be slightly messy, creating soft waves.

 

 

33. Asymmetrical Short Hairstyle

An asymmetrical short hairstyle is shorter on one side and longer on the other. This creates a very cool and edgy appearance, which draws the eye towards your jawline and eyes. It can be flattering and youthful but can also make your face appear thinner. The layers through the cut can create movement. That said, this look does take some styling time, and you may have to readjust if the hair is falling in your eyes. However, the overall effect is incredibly attractive. Pair your look with bold accessories and interesting eye makeup for a more dramatic finish.

 

 

34. Green Pixie

The pixie cut is one of the most versatile short hairstyles around. Many women love it because it is so adaptable, and it can be created on many different hair colors and textures. For someone who is daring and edgy, opting for green dye is a wonderful way to make a statement and tell the world that you are a risk-taker. Green is associated with nature and growth, but it is also a rich color that is hair to miss and can show off your personality. For an even more edgy appearance, pair your pixie cut with an undercut or a semi-shaved hairstyle.

 

 

35. Blunt Bob

If you want to take the plunge and cut your hair, but you are not ready for it to be very short, then a nice in-between option is a blunt bob. The fantastic thing about this option is that it can emphasize the cheekbones and the jaw. It has a very sophisticated appearance but is incredibly versatile and can be adjusted to suit your preference and hair type. Blunt haircuts are low maintenance and can give you a bold appearance.

 

 

36. Pixie with Angled Undercut

The pixie cut looks daring and edgy when paired with an angled undercut. It has a rebellious vibe and can create an interesting contrast with the hair on the top of your head and the shaved underside. This can highlight your natural texture and make it appear more voluminous. The undercut can also flatter your face shape and elongate it if created at an angular finish. Play around with different lengths and partings to find the look that suits you best.

 

 

37. Wedge Haircut

The wedge haircut is so simple yet unmissable. The interesting shape that is created because of the length of layers makes the hair appear like it is stacked or wedged. This style can be created on multiple hair lengths and textures, but you can work with your hairstylist to find the perfect option for you. That said, for the most flattering appearance, it helps if your hair is longer than the chin.

 

 

38. Short Bob with Wispy Bangs

A bob and bangs are a combination that should go hand-in-hand because they are so effortlessly stylish. The bob can be worn on women of all ages and makes thin hair appear thicker and fuller. Bangs are fantastic because they can make you appear younger, add volume to your hair, and highlight your features, but opting for wispy bangs can create a more seamless transition with the rest of your hair. This can be created on all textures, including wavy and straight.

 

 

39. Pixie Cut with Bleached Hair at the Top

Bleached hair is hard to miss, but that is part of the appeal. Bleaching can be drying and damaging, but it can also create a very stylish and modern appearance and helps to make your hair appear thicker and fuller. The benefit of having short hair, like a pixie cut, is that the bleaching process is actually much faster and simpler; the heat from the scalp helps to speed it up. Because of the dryness and breakage involved with bleaching, your hair can be kept in better condition if it is shorter. Deciding to bleach the top of your hair and leaving the rest your natural color creates a stunning contrast.

 

 

40. Lilac Bob

What is not to love about the bob? It adds volume to your hair, makes you appear youthful, slims your face, and highlights your features. The only thing that could be better then is if you adapt the classic look to suit your personality and style, and what better way to do this than with a bold shade. Lilac is a color that is incredibly versatile and will look good at any time of the year. Unlike other bright colors, it also has a coolness and softness to it.

 

 

41. Tousled Bob

The appeal of a tousled bob is its disheveled, messy appearance. This creates softness and can beautifully highlight your features and frame your face. The cut needs to have layers to achieve this appearance, and it also helps if your hair is naturally textured. You can create this look on various hair textures and lengths, but if you want a more fuss-free and laid-back approach, short hair is the way to go.

 

 

42. Blue Pixie with Undercut

If you want to give your pixie cut an edge, you can do it with an undercut. The beauty of the undercut is that it creates an interesting contrast between the hair on the top of your head and the shaved sides. It has a rebellious feel to it but can also highlight the volume and texture of your hair. That said, if you want an even more daring look, then dying your hair a bright color is a fantastic way to express yourself. Blue hair demands attention. There are many shades to choose from, from eclectic neon and teals to more muted tones and many coloring techniques. For an icy and cool approach, pair blue hair with silver or platinum locks.

 

 

43. E-Girl Rainbow Bob

E-girl style is one of the biggest trends of 2020, and brightly-colored, eye-catching hair is an e-girl must-have. An all-over hue like pink or green will give you the standard e-girl look – but a rainbow bob takes it to the next level. A shorter haircut means your locks will take less time to dye and give you the edginess that the e-girl look demands – rather than long rainbow hair, which can veer into ‘princess’ or ‘mermaid’ territory.

 

 

44. Short Yarn Braids

Yarn braids are a great alternative to traditional braiding hair. They are considered a protective style as the 100 percent acrylic yarn protects your natural hair from the elements. Plus, they are also stylish and versatile, coming in a rainbow of different colors. Short yarn braids can be plaited to create a wavy, freeform, almost-dreadlock look, or they can be braided flat for a bob or lob-style effect.

 

 

45. Curly Short Hair Updo

When it comes to styling short curly hair into an updo, it’s best to work with your hair’s natural texture and movement rather than fighting it. One beautiful and simple option is to twist your locks into a messy chignon, leaving some tendrils free to frame your face. Add romantic and feminine accessories, such as ribbons, flowers, or pearls, for extra style points.

 

 

46. Short Knotless Braids

Box braids are one of the most iconic hair looks, and it’s no wonder. Simultaneously cool, edgy, and pretty, these braids also have an on-trend ’90s vibe. Short box braids create a gorgeous ‘lob’ effect that flatters many different face shapes. Meanwhile, knotless box braids are becoming more and more popular. While a little more time consuming and expensive than regular box braids, the knotless technique puts less tension on your scalp and does less damage to your natural hair.

 

 

47. Short Slick Bridal Hairstyle

There are few better hairstyles for the modern, minimalist bride than a short, slick pixie cut. Instead of traditional bridal hairstyles, the look takes its cues from ’60s fashion icons like Mia Farrow and Jean Seberg. It’s an ideal choice if you want to show off your wedding jewelry, such as a pair of statement earrings. However, bear in mind that you won’t be able to attach a traditional veil – instead, consider a fascinator or hat, or go without any headwear at all.

 

 

48. Side-Swept Pixie

The pixie haircut is truly iconic and suits women of all ages. Pixie cuts are a versatile option for short hair. Not only do they always attract attention, but they are also low-maintenance and easy to style. They can be playful or sophisticated, romantic, or casual. A side-swept pixie cut flatters heart-shaped and square faces and is also a great way to add more dimension and direction to fine hair.

 

 

49. Elegant Short Hair Updo

Short hair often needs minimal styling, but it can be fun to create a pretty, sophisticated hairstyle for a formal event or romantic date. Similar to a ponytail, the key to an elegant short hair updo is in the positioning. Avoid styles that require you to pull your hair up to the crown of your head. Instead, opt for a low bun or low braided style and add beautiful hair accessories, such as pearls or ribbons, for a gorgeous finishing touch.

 

 

50. Short Tribal Twists

Short twists, like short box braids, create a flattering ‘lob’ effect on natural hair. Take your two-strand twists to the next level by adding a tribal element. Classic options like metal or wooden beads and cowrie shells pay tribute to culture and tradition while also making your twists stand out. You can customize your combination of tribal accessories to suit your unique style.

 

51. Short Bob With Green Highlights

Green is a big color trend for hair because of its unique, alternative appeal. Made popular by stars like Billie Eilish and the e-girl trend, green hair can be adapted to suit various skin tones. Because it’s such a strong color, a little goes a long way – meaning it’s ideal for short hair. If you have a bob, you can get away with an all-over green look – whereas longer hair is better off with green roots or highlights.

 

 

52. Short-Twists

For ladies with natural hair, short twists are an amazing hairstyle. Perfect for when you are growing out a buzz cut or just had the ‘big chop,’ these mini versions of a two-strand twist create a cool yet cute look. As your hair grows longer, you can create a flattering lob effect with twists. Plus, as a protective style, they won’t damage your hair and can be left in for days or weeks – meaning they’re low-maintenance, too.

 

 

53. Wedding Updo for Short Hair

Whether you’re the bride, guest, or bridesmaid, choosing the perfect hairstyle for a wedding is essential. An updo is a classic option because it draws the focus towards your dress and jewelry.  An elegant and romantic loose chignon is perfect for such a special occasion, and you can easily create one with short hair. Simultaneously polished and sophisticated without looking stuffy or overly ‘done,’ a loose chignon is a great option. Plus, you can add hair accessories or a veil with ease.

 

 

54. Geometric Short Afro Style

Make your short Afro stand out by having your stylist create a geometrically shaped cut. Cool and modern, shaped Afros turn heads in the best way. For that reason, this cut is perfect for confident women with a strong sense of style, who are happy to be the center of attention. While you could opt for an ’80s throwback flat top or stepped cut, a triangle or wave-effect Afro is another great geometric option.

 

 

55. Short Rose Gold Hair

Rose gold hair is one of the hottest trends of the year. Combining golden blonde with a pinkish-copper tint rose gold hair suits a wide variety of skin tones and always stands out from the crowd. If you’re thinking of shaking up your color as well as your hair length, give a short rose gold look a try. As it’s a bold color choice, pair your rose gold hue with an equally cool cut – think a bowl cut or choppy baby bangs.

 

 

56. Short Bob with Curtain Bangs

The bob haircut is a timeless classic for women’s hairstyles and remains a favorite because of its versatility. It looks great on women of all ages and can easily be adapted to suit your hair texture and type. If you want to add a modern twist, you can pair it with curtain bangs. This fringe can be created on hair of every length, type, and cut. Pairing a short bob with curtain bangs is exceptionally stylish and can frame your face. This fringe will highlight your features, but it also helps achieve a more youthful appearance and add a feminine touch to shorter hair.

 

 

57. Half Green, Half Pink Short Hair

Short hair is surprisingly versatile, and there is little that you cannot do with it. It also is excellent for those who want to experiment with color, as there is less to dye, making the process cheaper and less time-consuming. The split-dye trend is common among alternative types and lends itself well to the E-girl aesthetic, which is incredibly popular on TikTok. The half green and half pink look are bright and bold, drawing attention to your face. It takes some serious confidence to pull off and will make you stand out of the crowd, but this is a fantastic way to express yourself and show the fun side of your personality. For a matchy-matchy look, you can experiment with your makeup, choosing the same shade to make a striking appearance.

 

 

58. Short Blunt Bangs

Bangs are one of the best ways to transform your look. They can make even the most straightforward hairstyle more attractive. Plus, bangs are an excellent way to draw attention to your face and highlight your eyes. They can also make your face appear slimmer or longer. Blunt bangs, in particular, are great, and they are cut across the face, creating a chic and feminine look. They can be incredibly flattering and make you look younger; the way they fall across the forehead can also hide signs of aging like fine lines or wrinkles.

 

 

59. Short Ponytail Hairstyle

The ponytail is one of the most simple and versatile updos a woman can create. It requires little skill, minimal styling, and it is easy to dress up or down. The style also works with hair of all lengths and textures and can suit every face shape. Plus, a short ponytail can be an excellent way to flatter your cut and change up your look. For the best results, you should keep it loose and undone. This is also a great way to keep the hair out of your face and off your neck. Perfect for date nights, the gym, or even for more formal occasions, there is nowhere you cannot wear your ponytail hairstyle.

 

 

60. Pixie with Balayage

The pixie cut is one of the most versatile and flattering haircuts a woman can choose. It is defined by short hair cropped in layers, and is slightly longer on top, and features bangs. The pixie is highly adaptable and can be changed to suit your hair texture and face shape. It can also be worn on hair of all colors. That said, if you want a simple and natural hairstyle, opt for a balayage hair color. The coloring technique is a blending of color in a more graduated way and is a gorgeous, subtle approach to adding color to the hair. It can help achieve a sun-kissed appearance, brighten your locks and add dimension.

 

 

61. Viking-inspired Short Hair

The Vikings are remembered for being fearsome warriors and plunders, but they have also inspired many people with their appearance. They are known for their tattooed skin and interesting hairstyles, and if you want something bold and fierce, this could be the option for you. An excellent choice for short hair is a braided part that features along the side of the head. You can leave the hair longer on the top and pair it with an undercut or shaved sides for an edgy finish. This option takes confidence to pull off, but it also allows you to express yourself and have a lot of fun with your hair.

 

 

62. Bright Pink Bowl Cut

The bowl cut features hair that is relatively the same length throughout and has a straight fringe. The cut can be created on different hair textures but tends to be the most striking with straight hair; curlier hair will produce a softer finish. It is a cut that can be created in all colors and help achieve a fashion-forward and cool appearance. Bright pink is one of the most popular shades to choose from because it is bold and fun. It is a happy color to look at and a universally flattering shade that will suit most women. This look will bring you a lot of attention, so be sure to wear it with confidence.

 

 

63. Dark Blue Short Hair

If you are a woman who wants to experiment with colored hair but doesn’t want to go too bold or bright, then a great way to do this is to dye your hair dark blue. The shade is easier to wear than some lighter hues because it is not as dramatic, especially if your hair is naturally dark. The deep color can give your haircut a modern update and tends to be flattering on most skin tones. That said, dying your hair any color that makes a style statement will require a change in your makeup because you do not want to appear washed out. Try out various lipstick shades and experiment with eyeshadows that best suit your preference and complement your new hair.

 

 

64. Short Layered Cut for Thick Hair

If you are a woman with thick hair, you may want to keep it short because it is easier to wear and much more manageable. A layered cut is also a fantastic choice because it removes weight from the hair but still allows movement. Opt for layers around the face to highlight your features. Add highlights throughout for dimension and to make your hair appear lighter and brighter.

 

 

65. Short Bantu Knots on Natural Hair

Bantu knots are a protective style that can be traced back to the Zulu tribes in South Africa. They are a look that can be worn with pride because of their ancestral and cultural association. In addition, they can be styled on the hair of various textures and lengths. If you have short hair, Bantu knots will leave you with a simple yet stylish look. It is a fantastic option for natural hair, helping it grow and giving it a break from heat styling, which can help achieve stronger locks. Although you will not get much length with these knots, it is more traditional and subtle.

 

 

66. Curly Hair with Temple Shave

Curly hair is one of the best textures because it can lend itself well to many different looks, and for those who want an edgy and cool hairstyle, a temple shave is precisely what you have been searching for. The haircut features a shaved section on the side of the head, while the rest of the hair is kept longer. This creates an excellent finish but also an interesting contrast. The temple shave can also be adapted to suit your hair texture and personal preference, making no two look the same. The style is androgynous and a great way to show the world you have confidence and attitude.

 

 

67. Short Haircut for Older Women

Older women may be drawn to a short haircut because it is versatile and stylish. In addition, shorter hair is a lot less maintenance and is easy to style. There are many options to choose from, including the timeless classics like a pixie cut or a brushed back look that is simple and chic. Work with your hairstyle to find a look that best suits your features and complements your hair texture. There is also no need to dye your hair, although there is no shame if that is what you want.
