Short hairstyles, let"s choose the style that suits you

Halle Berry

 

It was the pixie cut seen, coveted, and recreated around the world. This updated version that Halle’s rocking now is styled with soft spikes on top (don’t use too much product, just enough to tousle). Strong features and a healthy dose of confidence also help pull off this very short haircut.

Ginnifer Goodwin

Side-swept layered bangs soften a pixie cut and make it more wearable, even for those of us who don’t have Ginnifer’s amazing bone structure.

Short and Textured

A flirty, layered crop gives your hair more body (and gives you sexy confidence). Massage a lightweight mousse into your roots, then fluff your hair with a flat brush or your fingers as you dry it. When hair is dry, apply some texturizing product and twist into piecey sections.

Cate Blanchett

A short bob with longer bangs like Cate’s is a great way to frame your face and soften your features.

Viola Davis

More volume near the jaw line flatters oval-shaped faces, like Viola’s.

Not-so-perfect curls give short hair some sassy sex appeal. Use a 1-inch curling iron to curl your whole head, and then run your fingers through your hair to break the curls up.

Short Asymmetrical Crop

A modern crop with longer pieces in front gives you plenty of styling options. Try a flexible thickening spray to add volume without stiffness. You can also apply a little pomade to add texture and play up layers.

Michelle Williams

The pixie isn’t just for super-delicate faces! Michelle’s classic cut puts her larger features front-and-center and really works. (But keep in mind, a pixie isn’t great for downplaying features you don’t like.)

Rihanna

Feeling bold? Ask for a cut that’s short on the sides and longer on top. Use gel to style the longer hair.

Sideswept Waves

This cut is great for women with oval faces — the bangs break up a long profile.

Mariska Hargitay

Fans have seen Detective Olivia Benson’s hair change the seasons of Law and Order: SVU. This sleek bob with bangs complements most face shapes.

Carey Mulligan

This pixie cut is easy to maintain and style, but usually works best with petite features.

Taraji Henson

Turn heads with this updated bob that’s great for women with lots of texture and volume. Large curls can overwhelm delicate features, though.

Helen Mirren

A bob that ends right below your chin will elongate your neck and slim your face.

Kiera Knightley

A side-part and mussed-up waves break up Kiera’s angular bob so it’s not too perfect. (It’s also way easier to rock a style with texture, and great for women with naturally wavy hair.)

Sideswept and Sleek

An asymmetrical style complements a square jawline.

Jane Lynch

Jane’s shaggy crop is a great wash-and-wear style for ladies who don’t have a lot of time to style. It works especially well for women with a slight natural wave. Ask for longer pieces in the front to frame your face.

Tousled Waves

If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, try this style for simple sex appeal.

Curly Crop

Yes, you can go short even with natural curls. This simple style makes those curls ultra-manageable. Just ask for layers so your curls are light and bouncy instead of weighed down.
