Summer is in the air, and so are summer beauty vibes. As we start to shed our sweaters and swap them for sundresses, we also begin to wonder how we can give our hair and makeup a refresh. Makeup is easy enough: who doesn’t love a pastel manicure, bronzer, and brighter, lighter lip hue? Hair can be more difficult to get just right.
Short hair is super popular at the moment. If you’re feeling it and searching for inspiration, we have eight short (or sort-of short) haircuts you’ll love to see, and one extra haircut idea that’s longer, for anyone who isn’t ready to commit to a crop just yet.
1. Soft Pixie
The soft pixie is short all around and in the back, but softer, longer layers on top give you a few more styling options than you’d get from a very short pixie. This length also helps soften your face.

2. Chin-Length Blunt Bob
For anyone struggling to find ways to make their thinning hair look thicker and healthier, consider a blunt bob that stops at the chin. Blunt ends give hair a denser appearance and the length is perfect for keeping straggly ends at bay.

3. Asymmetrical Bob
Love the idea of a bob, but want something that looks even more polished and styled? The asymmetrical bob starts off shorter in the back and extends to longer pieces as it reaches the front. It’s a more fun, and funkier, look.

4. Layered Lob
The layered lob is a longer bob that extends to the collarbone and features long layers that start around the chin or higher and blend into the rest of your hair. If you like the shape of a bob, but appreciate more length, consider the lob.

5. Shag
Calling all lovers of layers and texture: the shag is a retro-cool cut that typically stops above the shoulder and has a multitude of shorter and longer layers. It’s great for bringing out waves, curls, and volume in your hair.

6. Bob with Side Bangs
Give your chin-length bob extra pizazz with side bangs. These side-swept bangs put the focus on cheekbones and eyes and are reminiscent of early aughts styles. They’re also ideal for covering bald spots and shedding around the crown.

7. Medium Cut with Curtain Bangs
Like your hair a bit longer? Medium cuts that hit the shoulder are hot at the moment, and they pair well with longer curtain bangs. These bangs are easy to grow out and add dimension to your hair.

8. Bixie
The bixie combines the short sides and back of a pixie, but it’s slightly longer and has more texture that also reminds one of the bob. It’s a beautiful compromise between the two cuts that has been going strong for a few years now.

9. Choppy Graduated Bob
With layers that are stacked upon one another, the graduated bob is a little choppy and a lot of fun. It’s also a good choice if your hair is fine or on the thinner side because it will help it look denser.
