Why short hair is always in style!
1. Classic Pixie Cut
Perhaps the most popular of all the pixie hairstyles is the pixie with a short cut. It perfectly frames the face, highlights the eyes and cheekbones and takes only a few minutes to style. There are several dozen options of pixies, ranging from tapered sides, to long top or swept over one side, so there’s nearly something for everyone.
2. The Bob — Timeless for a Reason
In fact, if there is one trend to pass down to the ages, it would undoubtedly be the bob, which has remained in style since the 1920s. The classic chin-length bob is clean, with a good structure and extremely versatile in application, as it will fit practically any type of hair. It will give the illusion of thickness in thin hair, and will give structure to thicker hair.
Ideal for: All face shapes, particularly round, and oblong.
Hair styling advice: A round brush blow dry will give the bob a salon look at home.
3. The Lob (Long Bob)
The lob — or long bob — is the part of the bob located at the collarbone and connecting short and medium length hair. It’s the perfect cut for those who wish to have the formality and elegance of a bob but are not ready for a more drastic haircut. It’s very popular for a reason: it fits just about anyone and grows out nicely.
Works best on: All face shapes.
Styling suggestion: The loosen beach waves create an effortlessly stylish weekend atmosphere to the lob.
4. The French Bob
The French bob is above the chin and it is usually done with square side-parts. It’s quite Parisian and artful: in the vein of a Left Bank coffee house and an old-fashioned movie theater. This is a style that has come back into vogue lately and it’s not surprising. It looks well-dressed, planned and very tasteful.
Ideal for: faces that are heart-shaped and oval.
Styling advice: It should be more blunt and to the point. Trimming is crucial, and should be done on a regular basis every 6-8 weeks.
5. The Shag Cut
The shag is a cousin of the rock ‘n’ roll to the bob. With layers, textured ends and can sometimes include bangs for the curtain. The shag was first popular in the 1970s and was revived early 2000s and is now a popular choice for hair styles that are shorter but still want some texture and a bit of edge.
Best for: Oval and Square face.
Styling advice: When hair is damp and diffuse, scrunch with some mousse for easy living look.
6. The Undercut
The undercut is for those who desire to make their short hair stand out. The sides and back are shorn to a more extreme degree, but the top is longer and left to dope free. Bold, architectural and very cool. The undercut may be punk or quite refined, depending on how much is left on top.
Ideal for: People with strong jaw lines and oval faces.
Styling tip: Pomade or firm hold gel will help to give the top section shape and keep it in place throughout the day.
