My mane needs a makeover.
Anyone who has made a significant hair chop knows the freedom of literal weight lifted off of your shoulders.
It can be breezy, whimsical and easy to manage. You can feel like an absolute goddess with your trimmed and polished locks. But what about hairstyles for short hair?
After a while, it starts to feel like your styling choices are limited, and all Pinterest has to say is: “Put a tiny braid across it!” I’m running out of directions to move that braid. So for some actual variety, here are five different hairstyles for short hair you’ll actually want to try.
This look is a little edgy and a lot of fun for a night out getting drinks with friends. It’s not for the faint of heart; this look requires an intense amount of attitude. It doesn’t take too much time to accomplish, but it definitely needs to be a premeditated choice.
No one remembers natural hair in these compilations, but here we are with some options! This style for natural hair is incredibly cute and simple. It’s a fitting look for any summer music festival.
It’s a cute throwback to the childhood hair we all loved sporting, but it has a certain essence of futuristic flare.
This style is a fun illusion of longer and fuller hair and uses stuff you already own! It’s perfect for a fun daytime look while also beating the heat by getting the shorter hairs off of your neck. But warning: you might have more people than you’d like asking how you could possibly get a full bun that beautifully manicured, especially when they remember your hair was short just yesterday. Don’t worry, it’s worth it.
This one takes a little more time, but hardly any effort. It works especially well for thick hair. It’s a chic and classy date night look. Short curly hair has a presence of its own and with this contained, manicured look, you can rock it with confidence and intentionality.
It’s such a fun and retro-looking style, it’ll blast you right back to the ’90s. It also looks like it belongs in Forever 21, so that has to mean it’s hip this 2017 summer! It’s not a hard look to complete and it looks good on just about everyone.
And obviously, those linked video tutorials come with plenty of other options of hairstyles for short hair, so there’s no need to limit yourself to just five looks or those tiny braided partial up-dos from a simple, surface-level search.
You can honestly do anything with your hair. Leave it down and natural, tease it like crazy, pull it back in a ponytail, put on a hat, bring back scrunchies — the world is your oyster!
Have fun, try something new and rock those locks!
