Short Haircuts with Bangs

If you feel like you have a lot of forehead or deep forehead lines to cover — this may be the short cut for you. You can choose a long sweeping bang or pick an edgy blunt bang that accentuates beautiful facial features-especially eyes.

The Boy Short Haircuts

The boy cut can be a drastic move, but a striking one-think pixie or high energy woman. Not everyone can wear this cut because it is so short, but with the right features it is bold and daring.

Bob Short Haircuts

Asymmetrical bob cuts are popular at the moment. One side can be left longer than the other side for a creative look. A classic bob where both sides are left a little longer frames the face for a hairstyle that looks sharp and tailored.

Layered Short Haircuts

A layered look will add volume to the hair and give it depth. If the hair is fine and straight the layers will give pizazz to a dull style. Be careful with curly and thick hair as sometimes the layers will make it look too puffy.
