Few women dare to cut their hair short. As edgy, modern, and chic as they may look, they are hard to style and it takes a long time for the hair to grow back should you discover later that you don’t actually like your look with short hair. However, for those who dare to have short hair, the following list of the latest short hairstyles may be helpful to them.

There are lots of latest short hairstyles that are cool, such as:

1. The pixie cut first gained popularity during the 1960s. It is an attractive, feminine look with short sides and back, but some length on the front. Most women today have a textured look by keeping some layers and bangs, stopping the hair from lying flat. This works particularly well on those with heart-shaped, oval, or square faces and those who have thick, wavy hair.

2. The bob is a significantly longer hairstyle. The classic bob goes down to the jaw line, slightly grazing the skin. There are lots of different bobs, with the two most popular ones being the textured bob, which comes with lots of layers and a lot of volume; and the demi-bob, which is a bit longer, almost reaching the shoulders. Women with curly, thick hair should not have the textured bob. Meanwhile, the demi-bob elongates the face, which means it is better for women with round faces.

3. The pompadour is one of the latest short hairstyles to have been developed. It is actually more of a man’s hairstyle, commonly known as the “quiff” or “faux hawk;” but can be used for women as well. It has finely shaved hair on the side, sweeping upwards, worn high on top of the head. Not everyone can get away with this style.

4. The shag offers a flirty, fun, and casual type of look. A shag has many layers and the ends are choppy, making it look quite messy. It goes well with any type of face shape. Women with very fine hair like this style because the layers make the hair look more voluminous. One of the great things about the shag is that you can leave it longer or shorter, and then grow it or cut it down again. You should avoid gels, which make the hair really stiff, and opt for texture enhancing sprays instead.

5. The short crop is a really short hairstyle for women. The hair is cut almost like the men’s crew cut, which means it is very close to the skin. This is why it is often referred to as the boyish crop. This style is perfect for women who have fantastic bone structure and aren’t afraid to show that off. The short crop does not have bangs or frills, which mean you really have to carry the look with your own face.

As you can see, there are lots of different styles to pick from. Going short is a pretty big deal, however, and you should not do this on a whim. Have a look at some celebrity inspirations to identify which style will work for you.
