#14: Short Messy Bob

You might think that short haircuts for girls look rather severe, but they can just as easily be soft and feminine. Choppy layers in a delicate hue can frame the face as well as soften strong features. Add a few subtle highlights to complete the look.

#15: Ginger Pixie-Bob

Anyone who’s had short hair before knows the difficulty of growing it out without looking like a scarecrow. This pixie-to-bob transition is aided with a few short top layers to help distribute the hair’s weight. Brightly colored hair also distracts from any unevenness!

#16: Vintage Cropped Curls

Ladies’ short hairdos certainly don’t have to be boyish. With a few strategic curls, you can create a vintage style that’s both eye-catching and feminine. Use mousse to add volume around the crown of your cut and to loosely secure the curls around your face.

#17: Super Short Fringe and Sides

Short haircuts for girls with oval-shaped faces look especially good with short bangs. A style boasting cropped front and sides will highlight your best facial features, while keeping some length on top will allow you to have fun with spikes or crunched layers.

#18: Stacked Platinum Wedge

Modernize the wedge cut with a silver shade and a steep slant from back to front. To make the style a little less severe, add textured layers. Show off the sharp shape with super straightened locks.

#19: Asymmetric Rainbow Pixie Cut

Is there anything cooler than an asymmetrical pixie cut with metallic rainbow colors? We don’t think so! This unique hairstyle has tons of personality without being overly bizarre. The only catch is it takes both the cut and color maintenance to keep it looking great.
