With the proper cut and bold hue, terse hairstyles for women can make a powerful statement. Pixie cuts to bobs are among the trendiest options available today – here are a few to inspire you.
Pixie Cut
The pixie cut is an effortless look that requires little maintenance, making it suitable for any hair color or thickness. It works particularly well on thin locks to help create a balanced image while adding dimension and thickness to light locks. Furthermore, if necessary, you can tailor it to your face shape with side-swept bangs or long, choppy layers.
For an edgy style, style your pixie in spiky, messy curls for an undone, carefree vibe that will turn heads. This look is ideal for night-out events as it requires minimal upkeep while adding an extra sexiness factor. Ruby Rose loves this chic pixie cut with longer layers at the top and shorter layers on either side, accentuating her light eyes for an iconic princess-like appearance. This style is especially appropriate for older women as it requires minimal upkeep.
Bob
The Bob is an elegant and fashionable choice for women who prefer shorter styles. Easy to maintain and flattering for all facial structures, this feminine cut can be styled layered or straight, depending on the desired look. For something bolder, add vibrant hues for maximum impact.
This blonde stacked bob features softly feathered ends and an eye-catching side-swept fringe for an eye-catching, sexy touch. Additionally, its volume-increasing effects will help those with finer locks add some volume and dimension. Lucy Liu’s bob is an incredible example of how a basic haircut can become stunningly stylish. The dark roots add depth and dimension, while its lived-in rock and roll vibe is created by its wavy layers.
Bowl Cut
Though you might remember the bowl cut as something your mom forced on you at age five, its modern-day versions have become stylish – seen even on fashion’s most daring darlings, such as Miley Cyrus and Rihanna!
For a feminine take on the bowl cut, ask your stylist for a soft taper, straighter finish, and a mesmerizing silver hue for an eye-catching, modern look. If you want to add something different and bold to your bowl cut, try switching up its hue with an eye-catching darker shade that contrasts against its blunt bangs. A bold hue stands out against this style’s precise finish and asymmetry; pair this look with a texturizing product to maintain chic looks all day!
Asymmetrical Curls
One of the chicest asymmetrical hairstyles for short hair, this angled cut is easy to maintain yet sophisticated. Ask your stylist to add some whimsical curls on one side for added charm. If you want to amp up the drama of your asymmetrical bob, try adding soft pink hues like this model did for a bold and beautiful look that’s ideal for spring (or any season when optimism needs a boost!). This look creates an eye-catching yet striking style.
An alternative way of rocking asymmetry is with a piece-y patchy pixie cut, complete with frosted tips or short hair balayage highlights for an eye-catching pop of color that will turn heads.
Short Brushed Back Chop
Nothing beats the thrill of sitting in a stylist’s chair as your last five inches fall to the floor – sitting through a fantastic short haircut can feel daring and exciting, not to mention it can instantly boost your confidence! Choppy pixie cuts with soft waves look adorable and chic, creating the ultimate girlish charm! Textured waves add depth and dimension, helping elongate round or square-shaped faces.
If you’re going for a slicked-back look, take it one step further by playing up its dimensions by adding color. A rich brown or burgundy root works beautifully when worn with this look – especially as an ombre shade! Pair this look with a volumizing styling gel to complete this stylish ensemble that’s easy to keep looking gorgeous.
