Women often fear getting short haircuts because it won’t suit their face shape, yet proper layering can look fantastic on any woman. A classic chin-length bob with layers is an excellent way to frame your face and emphasize your cheekbones while adding volume and body to thin, straight hair.
Balayage
Balayage is an increasingly popular hair coloring technique that produces personalized hues with seemingly limitless possibilities. Soft or bold hues – there’s always an option that will meet your desired finish! If your natural light strands are already at their optimal brightness, balayage may be less damaging than bleaching an entire head of hair. With darker strands, however, multiple sessions may be required to reach the desired lightness; therefore, a color-safe shampoo and conditioner must be used when opting for this technique. Blonde balayage is an elegant classic look, flawlessly complementing nearly every face shape and its graceful features. The style looks natural, while the voluminous layered bob style helps accentuate your innovative facial features. Incorporating shades of blonde and brown is a great way to add depth and dimension. For brunettes looking for something different, try warm golden tones to achieve caramel-esque highlights in your hair strands.
Tomboy
Tomboy refers to females with male traits, such as preferring to wear boyish clothing and disliking feminine items. Tomboys may also exhibit masculine interests, such as being into sports, climbing, or mechanics. Tomboys can either be normalized in media portrayals or seen as problematic; when cast in this light, it suggests they should “grow out of it” or find ways to accept their inner femininity – this often leads to what has come to be known as the Tragedy of the Common Girl narrative. This trope overlaps with Raised by Dudes, Amazonian Beauty, and Bifauxnen. Additionally, tomboy can serve as a gender identity marker, and queer people may use the term to refer to themselves. Other options for self-identification may include soft butch, chapstick lesbian stem lesbian, or Futch.
Textured
A short hairstyle for women that features multiple textures is stylish and elegant. This type of cut usually involves layers with numerous textures and various curl patterns that form an eye-catching rounded shape, creating an eye-catching style. Textured hair covers everything from loose or tight coils to spring-like coils and even kinky locks; many people have multiple hair textures, although most tend to favor one dominantly. An angled bob is ideal for round, square, and heart face shapes, while side-swept bangs soften an angular jawline. Its short layers feature blonde highlights for added volume. Finally, its textured tips add depth and volume.
Bold and Edgy
When adding something different and trendy to your short hairstyle, wear an unexpectedly eye-catching style like a tapered, feathered pixie with soft and sleek layers, or add dimension with baby lights. Layered hairstyles don’t only add volume and texture – they also frame your face and soften its jawline. This angled bob features long sliced layers and an angled nape with steeply angled sides. A layered bob with swoopy curtain bangs creates a feminine style that frames the face beautifully, making for an excellent option for oval and heart-shaped faces. A blonde ombre blends seamlessly, adding dimension. Add highlighter hair strands of lighter colors for even greater drama in this short salt-and-pepper bob!
Cropped
You no longer need to grow out your pixie cut to look feminine in a short hair style. Celebs like Kerry Washington and Zoe Kravitz, favoring this easy-to-style look, can take cues from it when styling their signature styles with this chic short style. Enhance it by highlighting it with accent colors; deep red can add depth and drama when worn with a wavy cropped haircut, drawing the eye toward your face while providing some drama to this classic cut. Perfect for women looking for ways to make an impression without going overboard, you’re sure to find an accent color that works well with whatever complexion they already possess!
