When all else fails, you can depend on the classic bob to come to your rescue. With the hair straightened and gently curved inwards at the end to give it a soft, rounded look, the classic bob is always in trend and can give you a very sophisticated look. This is the perfect hairstyle for office parties and formal occasions when you want to look good but still retain a little professionalism when it comes to your look.

All you need is some styling gel to strategically style and set your hair in crisscrossing sections to create this flirty look.

8. The Retro Look

Emma Stone looks absolutely adorable in this retro hair look. A tribute to the days of tight curls and pinned hair, this look is great for someone looking for a retro look that will work with modern clothes.

9. The Sleek Do

Even short hair can get annoying when it blows into your face and you end up pushing it behind your ears to keep it out of your face. A simpler and more elegant solution would be to give the sleek do a go. This look involves slicking back your hair (after straightening it if you have curly hair) with some strong-hold hair gel. The result is a very sleek and comfortable hairstyle that will ensure that you don’t have to keep fiddling with your hair every five minutes. Oh, of course, you’ll need to make sure that your makeup is on point since with your hair slicked back, all the attention is focused on your face.

10. The Risqué Look

As the name suggests, this look is not for everyone. While Miranda Kerr rocks the risqué look, you’ll need to be super confident, and not give a damn about what anyone would think, if you want to carry off this look. It involves some intricate braiding in the front and ends up in a tightly bound pony/tuft at the back. But one thing’s for sure, if you are looking for a out-of-the-box, attention-grabbing look, this one just might do it for you. Also, be warned that you’ll need to be quite nifty with your hands to successfully recreate this look.

11. The Who’s-That-Gal Look

Ciara showed us how it’s done when she went from girl-next-door to who’s that-gal with her choppy bob look. Recreate this look by teasing your roots to add volume and parting your hair at the side to gather all your curls to one side. The texture and the dirty-blond color work so well to create a look that screams trendy. A definite must-try hairstyle for short hair.

12. The Braided Ponytail Look

Another super fun hairstyle to try for short hair is the braided ponytail look. For the unsuspecting observer, from the front this hairstyle looks like a normal ponytail. But when you see the back—surprise! There is a braid running down the center at the back. We should thank Lucy Hale for this great idea. When a ponytail is too boring and a braid is too mainstream for your liking, the braided ponytail is the way to go.

13. The Bowl Cut Look

Would you dare to flaunt a bowl cut? Zendaya looks like a million bucks in this über chic bowl cut hairstyle. Trust her to turn the infamous bowl cut into a sexy do. No doubt that she looks fabulous.

To achieve this look, be sure to tease your hair at the roots to create volume and height. Then use some setting spray to hold your hair in the desired style.

15. The Punk Braid Look

If you can manage to braid your short hair like how Shailene Woodley has done here, then you’ve got yourself one seriously cool hairstyle. Braids look surprisingly good when done on short hair, especially when it’s a small braid. The short hair tends to set off the braid, showing it off to its best advantage. Braiding short hair takes patience and a lot of practice. So if you don’t nail the look in the first few attempts, don’t lose hope. Just keep trying till you get the hang of it. We promise, the results are well worth the effort.

The best part about styling short hair is that it doesn’t take much time. With some practice, you can be done in ten minutes or less.
