The good news is that you can do just as much with short hair as you can do with longer tresses. Here are the trending styles you can try for short hair.
- Side-parted pixie-cut – Yes, pixie-cuts are still in fashion. There’s something about this hairstyle that has the ability to take years off your face. For a more formal, sleek and chic look, part it on your favorite side and hold it in place with a small amount of gel.
- Curly ends – If you have short hair that’s looking a little limp, curl the ends to add some volume. Ideally, it’s best if the curls end just at your shoulder, but you can pull it off even if your hair is a little shorter. As long as it covers your ears, you’re good to go.
- Twisted – This style works beautifully for those that are blessed with fuller hair, but it’s a fun alternative even for those who are almost reaching mid-length but are not quite there yet. Twist some locks and pin them up to lock each in place. The result looks complicated, but only you’ll know how easy that was.
- Beachy waves – The list would be incomplete without this one for sure. If your hair is starting to look a little sparse, trust some waves to do the trick.
- Braid-band – It really is what the name says. If your bangs have grown out and you’ve reached that awkward length where you don’t know what to do, use it to make a braid from one side to the other. It looks horribly cute with short hair and does the job of a hair-band too. Beat that!
- Low bun – We understand the struggles of a high-ponytail for short hair. So why not just wear it low! Pull out a few strands from one side if you want to add a softer touch to it.
- Short ruffled spikes – Who said that was just reserved for the boys! If you’re looking for something a little bold, give your pixie-cut a daring edge with some spikes. You can keep it messy or sleek depending on the occasion.
- Center-parted bob – There’s nothing that can be as clean, sophisticated and evergreen as this. If you’ve got sleek, straight hair, tuck your hair behind your ears, and if you’re sporting waves, leave it loose.
- Curly up-do – This one is for those with tight curls. To start with, don’t fear up-dos. It’ll hold perfectly fine with a little extra gel and hairspray. If you don’t want to pull all your hair up, leave some locks to hang loose playfully.
- Textured – If your ‘on-the-verge-of-growing-out’ pixie-cut is looking for a quick makeover, add some texture to it. It works the same with a short bob too. There’s nothing a little ruffle, tease and tousling can’t fix.
