Short hairstyles for women
Tired of the same old hairstyle? Go in for a short hairstyle! They
are compact, easy to maintain, and practical. Nothing communicates a
no-nonsense attitude better than a short hairstyle – it’s simple,
realistic, and undeniably chic all at the same time! The reason is? It
gives you a carefully careless look that you simply cannot beat.
There are several short hairstyles for women that are never out of
style. Here are some:
The Bob cut is a haircut that is cut straight till near the jaws and
accentuated with a fringe or bangs. What makes this hairstyle truly
versatile is that it’s a classic. No matter what age you are, it’s a
look that will never go out of style. Rihanna sports a bob, so does
Ellen DeGeneres. For a younger, more vivacious look, a careless bob with
a wavy look works wonders. It speaks volumes and adds to a flirty,
feminine look. For an older, more sophisticated look, the classic
straight bob adds a sleek, old-world charm that is undeniably sexy and
elegant at the same time.
The Pageboy is a version of the Bob where the hair is worn a little
longer, almost up to the shoulders, but styled stiffly inwards, and with
a prominent fringe. This look is best remembered as the one worn by Uma
Thurman in the movie Pulp Fiction.
A very popular short hairstyle for women is The Crop. The hair is cut
very close to the head and styled in a way where it lies flat down on
the scalp, giving the wearer a sleek boyish look. It first became famous
during the 1920s but many famous people have worn this style over the
years. Princess Diana was noted for wearing a crop that was styled in a
manner that made it look bouncy and bouffant. The hair is usually
tapered as well as layered, making the crop a simple but
difficult-to-execute-properly kind of haircut. It can go horribly wrong
if not cur by a skilled stylist.
A version of the crop is worn heavily styled and spiked, called The
Chopper. It is not very common in women but makes for a loaded,
hard-hitting look that has a lot of personality, besides being extremely
provocative. One of the many famous people who have turned the boyish
chopper look into a hit is Victoria Beckham.
A vintage look like The Finger-Wave is also a good choice for those
who want a period-style flirty and feminine look. In this style the hair
is pinched and combed in alternate directions so that the hair forms
“waves”, or undulating curvy layers. It is a look that needs heavy
styling, because the hair has to be put in place with combing irons and
mousse, but its attractiveness and charm are undisputed. Charlize Theron
accepted her Oscar while sporting a finger-wave. Gwen Stefani is another
famous style icon who made the finger-wave popular in recent times.
The Pixie is a short hairstyle that works mostly on women with high
cheekbones and delicate features. Nevertheless, it should not stop you
from highlighting the shape and size of your eyes by going in for a
pixie because it is one of the few hairstyles that are both spunky and
vulnerable at the same time. Straight hair, preferably thin, goes best
for the pixie cut. This is because the Pixie cut is usually short at the
sides but longer near the forehead, usually cut in asymmetrical wisps.
This makes the cut easy to care for – you can wear it messed-up, or
dress it up and accessorize for a more formal look.
So go ahead, choose the perfect look for you!
