Wispy Shagged Layers
If you have fine hair, a shag haircut with wispy bits around the crown may add volume and texture to your locks. This style works particularly well with women with wavy or curly locks and appears striking air-dried, according to stylist Mercedes Trimble of Mansfield, Ohio.
Billie Eilish nearly broke the Internet with her unique choppy shag/mullet combination that exudes rebellion and freedom of spirit. It shows how mixing textures can look both contemporary and retro simultaneously.
Shaggy cuts pair beautifully with long curtain bangs that can be styled side-swept or tucked behind your ears for an irresistibly feminine aesthetic, channeling Rachel Green-esque vibes.
Caramel Balayage and Medium Feathery Layers
Feathered layers accentuate the shape of a medium hairstyle by making thin strands appear fuller and thin lines appear fuller. Here, a caramel balayage adds depth and dimension to this blonde hue; additionally, lighter strands give definition and dynamics to this shoulder-length bob haircut.
This layered lob adds an elegant, face-framing style to any woman’s look. A warm caramel-hued balayage update brings this timeless cut up-to-date while pairing perfectly with a root fade.
Blonde balayage is an ideal way to add dimension and lighten any bob haircut, as its lighter streaks lighten dark roots while adding size and volume without losing volume. This style makes a statement without diminishing the importance of the hairstyle.
Angled Layers
Layered shoulder-length pixie cuts add a modern edge, offering numerous styling possibilities. This particular variant features angled layers that frame your face for a stunning silhouette. This look is incredibly flattering for heart or inverted triangle face shapes as it helps reduce forehead width.
Add dimension and draw out the eye-catching angles of this pixie cut by pairing it with icy white hair for an eye-catching effect. This style works exceptionally well when loose waves or waves are added – no wonder many women love this versatile and fashionable style!
Icy White Layers
Icy white layers add a unique charm to any short women’s hairstyle. This gradual bob is an attractive, low-maintenance style; just some heat protector and a round brush should do it!
This long, choppy bob will add height and proportionality to your face, framing your cheekbones beautifully while being perfect for oval or square face shapes.
This pixie bob’s longer side-swept bangs make it perfect for drawing attention to facial features and drawing attention away from the eyes, making this style suitable for an oblong or rectangular face shape.
Retro Low Fade
Low-fade haircuts are similar to mid or high-fade styles, except they start at the hairline rather than above it and tend to taper into longer locks than their counterparts.
This style is ideal for giving a classic pompadour an updated feel. A low taper cut with a shaved line and some stubble provides an adaptable style that can easily be styled for any event or special occasion.
Add an original flair to your low fade haircut by having it dyed or painted with patterns or designs; just be sure to use products designed specifically for color-treated hair.
Faux Hawk
The faux hawk is an ideal style for medium short hair that’s easy to manage and professional enough for work, featuring a fade. However, you can choose different variations depending on the shape and preference of your face and hair.
This fohawk looks sleek with its low fade and shaved line, creating an eye-catching, professional, and casual style. Perfect for men who seek something eye-catching that stands out.
Extremely voluminous fohawks like this can help add height to the face, though you must use a ton fade so the look doesn’t become too angular. This style works particularly well on diamond-shaped fronts.
