Short hairstyles for women are very popular these days, mostly because they are extremely easy to maintain, they look great and they are ready to go as quickly as you are. For today’s modern women, the most popular styles are short trendy hairstyles.

The most popular short hair style for women has got to be the ‘bob’. The traditional ‘bob’ hair cut is one length and falls to the chin. It has a perfect shape for any facial shape out there and compliments each shape in different ways which is more difficult to do with longer hairstyles, not to mention more time consuming with longer hair.

To make the ‘bob’ your own all you have to rely on is your hair’s texture. Is your hair thick and straight? Or short and wavy? If your hair is thick and straight you can go for the traditional ‘bob’, because your hair already brings its natural body and volume out when cut shorter, so it will look and feel full.

If you want to make the ‘bob’ more your own it is simple just by adding some thick bangs, and/or ask the stylist to create it without layers. This will highlight your hair’s natural ability to reflect the light and make your hair appear more shiny, glossy and simply radiant.

Now if you have fine, straight hair you should go for more of a shorter tapered ‘bob’ with layered ends. This gives your naturally limp hair the extra oomph it needs to volume up and look fuller.

The ‘bob’ is also a great cut to create short curly hairstyles. If you have naturally curly hair that is thin or fine your hair should fall between your chin and shoulders and have long layers, because curly hair tends to bounce up so you don’t want to cut the layers too short.

If your curly hair is thick, you should decide upon a ‘bob’ that is even longer. Thick curly hair seems to grow outward before growing downward, so the longer the layers the less poofy your hair will be. The ideal ‘bob’ length for thick curly hair would be just above your shoulders. Make sure that the stylist layers the ends of your ‘bob’ so that it lays down more, or else your curly hair will create a triangle appearance.

The ‘pixie cut’ is also another short trendy hairstyle women love. Even though the ‘pixie cut’ is very short, you can create different styles depending on your preference. No matter what you decide to do with your ‘pixie cut’ style wise, (add gel to create a spiky look, pomade makes a sleek look or just wash and go) because of the length of the cut you dramatically decrease the time it takes you to get your hairstyle ready. You can be good to go in less than 5 minutes with a ‘pixie cut’.

You can’t go wrong with short hairstyles if time is something that you are looking to get more of. No matter which short hair cut you choose you need to remember that when short hair styles grow out, they change in shape dramatically. To keep them looking their very best (and you of course), you need to trim them every 4 to 6 weeks.
