It's time to let go of the mermaid hair.

It’s time to get short hairstyles trending again because, why not? They’re fun, easily manageable and low-maintenance. We’re women, we run this world and we don’t have the time to spend hours styling long hair just to get hot and sweaty by noon.
So, if you’re thinking of letting your long locks go, here are a few short hairstyles that might be perfect for you.
Speaking from experience, having fine hair is the ultimate struggle. I can’t cut or style it however I want, and I’m often looking for ways to add volume to my locks.
Bobs, however, are perfect for fine hair because they make it look like you have longer, thicker hair without the hassle of teasing. Short layers also give your hair volume. If you want to add more flair to your bob, then add long bangs to get a rocker-chic or high-fashion look.
If your hair is so thick that it’s unmanageable, cutting it short is the best way to thin it out and make it easier to style. Pixie cuts are a must for ladies with thick hair. And because they’re so short, they require very little effort.
But really, the best part about thick hair is that every hairstyle looks flattering. However, cutting it to shoulder length with beach waves seems to be the most popular look for thick hair on Pinterest.
If you’re unsure about the type of haircut you should get, you could style it around your face shapes. Some hairstyles are more flattering to certain face shapes because the layers, waves and style accentuate different parts of the face.
If you want a short hairstyle that will look more flattering on a rounder face shape, cut your hair right above the shoulders. Also add long side bangs because they’ll frame your cheeks to make your face look slimmer.
At the same time, though, who cares what anyone says? If you’re confident about a certain look, then go for that hairstyle even if it doesn’t “traditionally” match your face shape.
Let’s admit it, 2016 was the year for short hairstyles. From pixie cuts to shaved hair, tons of celebs were being adventurous with their hair. The most popular this year? The pixie cut. From Scarlett Johansson’s to Winnie Harlow, our favorite A-listers were giving us some major pixie-cut envy.
But if you’re brave and are confident you can pull off a badass rocker look, trying bringing back Kristen Stewart’s bleached shaved head.
And if you’re not ready to chop off your long locks just yet, you can always split the difference and go with a medium length hairstyle. Medium length bobs are chic and cute without any of the commitment of a normal bob. A straight cut at your shoulders is perfect for any hairstyle. You can always straighten it, curl it or slick it back behind your ears. Or you can add short layers for a little dimension to your hair. Long bangs make it easy to push your hair out of your face in this summer heat as well.
We know that long mermaid hair is all the trend right now, but it’s not cutting it in this ridiculously hot summer weather. If you’re looking to make a change, these hairstyles are most popular to choose. If you do have crazy long hair, you can also donate your locks to help a person in need.
