Cheeky short hairstyles

Short hair is cheeky, stylish and cool. What's more, short hairstyles for women are back in fashion. Short hair is easy to care for and style and we'll show you how!

The question of questions, cut your hair or let it grow? There are a few points in favor of one or the other. One big advantage of a cheeky short hairstyle is certainly the quick washing and drying time. Short hair definitely shortens the time spent in the bathroom.

Even when it comes to straightening or curling the hair, the hairstyle is usually a little quicker. If you have thick, full hair, short hair also has the advantage that it leaves the nape of the neck free and therefore gets less hot.

Saying goodbye to your long hair and showing up with a short hairstyle has certainly been a thought that many of us have had. But then the question always arises as to whether short hair suits you at all.

To answer this question, John Frieda has invented a formula. This is called the 2.25 inch formula - or 5 cm formula in our case. It measures the distance between the chin and the earlobe.

1. Hold a ruler vertically below the earlobe
2. Hold a pencil horizontally below the chin
3. At how many centimeters does the pencil hit the ruler?

If the value is below 5.72 centimetres, a short hairstyle is suitable. If the value is above this, long hair is more suited to the proportions of your face. It remains to be seen whether this formula really delivers what it promises. However, there are a few points you need to be aware of if you take the plunge and go for short hair.

Depending on your hairstyle, styling may be more complicated than with long hair. Simply tying it up and going is no longer an option. A few more visits to the hairdresser may be the order of the day to keep the cut nice and casual.

Furthermore, it can take a long time to grow your hair back and along the way, not every hairstyle may be a real head of hair.

The classic pixie cut emphasizes your cheekbones and eyes. The advantage of this short hairstyle is that it can be cut short or long. To achieve the accentuated effect, the cut is crucial.

Care should be taken to ensure that the bangs are cut unevenly. The sides can remain longer, but should be cut slim. This way, the hairstyle can look cheeky or elegant. In any case, it is absolutely on trend. The pixie cut can be worn on any face shape.

Tip: For a round face, we recommend cutting the bangs unevenly and leaving the side contours longer.

For the bangs, you will need a mousse and a round brush with a small diameter. To complete the look, all you need is a little hairspray. And your hair is ready to style.

The hairstyle is not only super cheeky, but also feminine and strong. As with the pixie cut, the undercut style is very versatile. Specifically, this means that it can be worn with shorter or longer top hair. However, the hair on the bottom of the head remains short.

Tip: Cut the sides every 5-6 weeks so that the hairstyle retains its contours.

As the sides are rather short, you only need to style the top hair. Hair gel or wax can be used for this. The longer the top hair is, the more likely it is to use a hair mousse.

Depending on which products you prefer, you can simply spray on a mousse and distribute it evenly. If you prefer to style your hair with gel or wax, it is best to take a small amount in your fingertips and distribute it evenly through dry hair. Now simply shape your hair as desired with your fingertips.

The buzz cut is probably the most daring hairstyle when it comes to short hair. This haircut can emphasize women with strong facial features even more. The fact that this hairstyle is not seen much makes it a particularly cool hairstyle. 

With dark hair, you can see the stubble standing out against the white scalp. This is the reason why many women choose to dye their hair a trendy platinum blonde. This hairstyle is perfect for women who want uncomplicated styling. Nevertheless, you can still decide how short you want this hairstyle to be.

Tip: Have your hairdresser cut your short haircut so that your hair is cut evenly at the end.

All you need for this cool, fashionable haircut is a hair gel.

Not at all! The best thing about the buzz cut? You hardly need any time to style it! If you do want to give your hair a little more shine, simply apply a little gel. But beware: less is definitely more here.

If you don't want to give up your long hair completely, the short bob is perfect. With this haircut, you have many different great styling options. 

The short bob is perfect for people with an elongated or oval face. The length of the haircut should not exceed the chin length. Otherwise, it is already a long bob. 

The long bob haircut can be worn well by people with a round face, as it elongates the face.

Tip: One of the trendiest styling ideas for bob hairstyles is to pin the hair behind the ear with a clip.

The fact that this hairstyle can be worn in many different ways means that the choice of styling products is very individual. Everything from volumizing mousse to hair oil can be used.

How you style your short bob depends entirely on whether you like wavy, straight, styled or natural hair. The longer your hair, the more options you have when it comes to styling. If you use a waving or straightening iron, be sure to use heat protection! 

For the ultimate sleek look and an incredible shine as a finish, a hair oil is particularly suitable. You can achieve a casual, tousled bob in no time at all with a salt spray.

The last cheeky short hairstyle is the bowl cut. It's not only a cool hairstyle, but also a very daring one. The bowl cut is characterized by the fact that the hair is the same length on all sides. This short haircut can be worn particularly well by women with an oval or angular face.

Tip: For a more glamorous hairstyle, the top hair can be dyed a different color. This is how Oscar and Golden Globe winner Charlize Theron wore her short haircut.

A styling gel is enough to style the hair.

Here too, styling is very individual. Depending on your hair type, your bowl cut may need a little more styling. If you have naturally straight hair, you can simply work in a little gel and fix it with hairspray if necessary.

Our tip: Blow-dry your hair into shape with a round brush after washing. You've already done a lot of the work. 

Now the only question left is: to cut your hair or not? Are you inspired by the cheeky and trendy hairstyles? Then take the plunge and book your appointment now at one of our salons.
