1. Natural Pixie

This boy cut gets a feminine touch with its soft, side-swept head of bangs. Taper the lengths towards the nape, but keep it full and voluminous towards the top. Allow some strands to fall and touch your ears and cover the top of your eyebrows.

2. Blunt bob with bangs

Let your hair fall on your eyebrows, but let this blunt bob frame your look. The abrupt lengths and straight cut will give your look a unique touch. You can go for straight, blunt bangs for an edgy, high-fashion hairstyle, or wispy bangs for a more relaxed result. Bonus tip: If you have a heart-shaped face, this would work perfectly for you!

Editor’s tip: Before straightening your blunt bob using a flat iron, don’t forget to spritz TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray on your hair to protect it from heat damage.

Editor’s tip: After creating those reverse C-shapes with a flat iron, spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray to make the hairstyle last long.

6. Cropped top

Go short with cropped hair, but balance it out with some length at the front and top to give it movement. This ensures it doesn’t just fall flat and volume-less on your head.

7. Curly pixie cut

Having natural curls shouldn’t stop you from cutting your hair short. In fact, a curly pixie cut can add oomph to an otherwise bland and ordinary look. Just keep your curls healthy by using a shampoo made for curly hair. Apply hair serum as well before leaving the house to make your curls sleek and shiny.
