#23: Small Chignon with a Bouffant
Is there any updo more sophisticated than a chignon? Don’t underestimate the length requirements for this hairdo — it’s doable for shorter hair, too! If your hair is not long enough for a classic chignon, it may be compound, i.e. made of two parts and, therefore, looking like a higher sitting chignon.

#24: Effortless Updo for Short Hair
Thin hair can create a beautiful, messy updo without putting much effort. For instance, to achieve this look, you should wave some locks and put all your hair to the back of your head, then twist it in a bun and pin it back. Looks really pretty, isn’t it?

#25: Curly Blonde Updo for Short Hair
Cute updos for short hair may not take the shape of a low bun if there’s not enough length. You may simply curl your shorter layers and bring them together in the back of your head pinning in place. Tease and smooth up the top of your updo, styling a small bouffant for a more refined look.

#26: Twisted Bouffant Updo for Short Hair
Nothing says formal better than a classic chignon updo. You may do one even on the base of your above-the-shoulder bob. Add some easy side twists. The top is teased just a bit to provide extra fullness and volume.

#27: Neat and Elegant Low Bun
This style is ideal for those with short hair length and will work great for any event or gathering. Backcomb your hair on top a little bit and add some dry shampoo to the roots of your hair for extra volume. You can also release some face-framing tendrils and curl them with a curling iron to make this look more romantic.

#28: Braided Faux Hawk
Finding cute hairstyles for short hair can be tricky, but creativity of hair enthusiasts knows no limits. This hairdo is a modern take on the braided Mohawk. When you don’t have enough length for a common Mohawk braid, make it from topsy tails. These don’t need long strands and can be linked together creating a cute voluminous braid that normally needs a decent length.
