How would you describe this look?
This short haircut is a layered bob with face-framing and a brow-length fringe. The cutest part of this short hairstyle is how I slightly stacked the back to give it a nice round shape. Also, this is the kind of haircut that needs little to no daily styling for it to look nice.
Any advice for someone considering it?
This cut works best for oval or more slender face shapes. It also works best for people with straight or slightly wavy hair. Styling this cut is very easy. If done correctly, a quick blow dry would have it laying nicely. You may need to use a round brush to give it more volume and shape.
This short haircut is perfect for people who don’t want to spend a lot of time fussing with their hair in the morning. This cut also works for thick or thin hair, it does tend to add volume for people with thin hair. If your hair is very thick you may need to have it thinner or texturized for it to lay nicely.
Short Boyish / Tomboy Cut

How would you describe this look?
This look is a youthful flowy pixie. What I love about this look is that it has structure and texture. It can move with you in any direction and still look young.
Any advice for someone considering it?
It’s very wash-and-go. It would be best on someone with naturally straight/wavy hair. To style, you can rough dry, air dry, or wrap dry and go with no product yet still have this style be moveable. You could throw in dry texture spray or dry shampoo for more of a messy look. You can also put in a paste to really pull out a piecey textured look. It’s great for someone who doesn’t want to put a lot of work into their hair and still be fun with it.
Short Pixie Cut

How would you describe this look?
This is an asymmetrical pixie cut. It has a soft face-framing fringe to enhance her youthful appearance. The cutest thing about this style of cut is that it complements her contrast of color and the softness of her cut. The elements work well together. Pixie cuts make fantastic short hairstyles for girls who are active.
Any advice for someone considering it?
It depends on the facial shape and features, hair texture, and quality. We always recommend a free consultation. It is very beneficial to the client and the stylist, to help determine the best look and style that would be both suitable and easy to work with at home.
Short Shaggy Cut for Thick hair

Q&A with style creator, Delainea Hubbard
Hairstylist @ Head Masters Salon in Texarkana, TX
How would you describe this look?
The most gorgeous thing about this cut is it can be for the fun, stylish, girls who like to wear their hair a little undone and not so perfect! This shaggy, asymmetrical bob has an undercut because she had so much hair. After I cut the perimeter of the hair, I point cut layers at a 90-degree angle.
To get all this texture, I like to do several different methods to give me this look. I use deeper point cutting on dry hair and I also like to chip away at the heavy ends with the very tip of my shears.
To style, I used a root lifter and an oil to smooth the ends, did a rough dry with my fingertips, and finished with the round brush. I used the flat iron to throw in random curls and waves throughout the whole head.
Any advice for someone considering it?
Just have fun with it! It has so much texture that it feels so light and airy for the ladies who are used to so much hair. This style can be so simple with a few curls and some hairspray or texturing spray to finish it off!
Short Bob with Bangs

Q&A with style creator, Curtis Brooks
Hairstylist @ FIERCE! a jfierz salon in Jefferson City, MO
How would you describe this look?
It’s a basic A-line bob with lots of texture and curved bangs. I used a small round brush while blowdrying, with the concentrator against the brush to smooth the hair and curl it under just a tad. Her natural hair is very straight so this won’t be something she will have to do every day. The layers in this haircut give it lots of movement so her hair will be just as bouncy as she is on the playground. Bobs and bangs make cute face framing short hairstyles for girls.
Any advice for someone considering it?
When considering a haircut like this you’ll want to take into consideration your hair texture (Is it straight, wavy or curly?) and your desired texture. How long will it take you to style this haircut with your hair type? This haircut is great for this particular client because of her naturally smooth/straight hair texture. She doesn’t like her hair in her face, so the curved bangs frame her face nicely and stay out of her eyes.

How would you describe this look?
The first thing that comes to mind about this cut is sassy! This little girl has confidence and sass, and this haircut reflects that outwardly for her.
The shape and texture will make it easy for her to style and wear with very little effort. That’s so important for a kid with a sense of style. I used Oi All In One Milk and Relaxing Moisture Fluid both by Davines to style her. Her color is absolutely gorgeous and 100% done by nature (I can’t take credit for that).
Any advice for someone considering it?
This look is great for someone who has medium or fine hair texture and thin or medium to medium-thick density. It can be worn straight or curly/wavy. I would not recommend it for someone who has a ponytail the size of a coke can or someone with an extremely coarse texture. This shape is great on a round, oval, or triangular (add fringe) face shape and for someone who is looking for the 5-minute style in the morning. Just a little product, quick blow-dry of the front and roots in order to tame any cowlicks and you’re out the door.
Trendy Undercut with Design

How would you describe this look?
It’s a sidecut or ladies undercut with a pixie cut and style. I love this look for every girl because it’s a super empowering transformation no matter how long the rest of your hair is. Adding a design to the undercut is a fun way to express your unique style and interests.
This trend is very hot right now whether it be the side of the head or the back. It’s great for kids and for women of any age and in any profession. These styles can also be easily hidden for the workplace by simply changing the parting of the hair. I love seeing the way a client lights up when they see and feel their new shaved hair and design.
Any advice for someone considering it?
As someone who wore a shaved undercut on the back of my head for over two years, this is a great style for anyone who has extremely thick hair and loves to wear their hair up. This is also an amazing style on the side if you have short pixie styles because it adds character and creativity to your look.
One thing you should be aware of with this style is that there is more upkeep than your “normal” styles. The undercut is something that usually needs to be maintained about every 2 weeks to keep it fresh and keep the designs bold. The darker the hair color, the bolder the designs will look. I would suggest women with lighter hair colors go with a simpler design so that it doesn’t get lost against the scalp.
