Cool Short Haircuts
1. Combination of Teased/Texturized Style
Half the draw of choosing the right cool short hairstyles is the flexibility you’ll have. It might be counterintuitive to associate short hairstyles with flexibility, but hear us out. When cool short hair like this is brushed forward you can rock a more conservative and conventionally age-appropriate hairstyle. Backcombing the hair on the top of your head and at the front by your hairline transforms this into a chic and edgy style.
2. Classic Shag
The phrase ‘cool short haircuts for women’ doesn’t have to be synonymous with finding a new hairstyle. We love how classic cuts, like this ’70s-inspired shag, is making a major comeback that allows you to embrace your natural texture as you rock a modern look.
3. Shaved Sides
Short hair is anything but boring as clearly evidenced from this longer length pixie and shaved sides. We love this chameleon-like style that manages to be both edgy and conservative, depending on how you style it. Shaving off the bottom half of your hair can feel terrifying. Knowing that you can comb the top half down to rock a pseudo bob may convince you to give haircut a try.
4. Upgraded Bob
If you prefer a more traditional style but still want to find a hairstyle that’s slightly cooler, opt for a sleeker version of a widely accepted style for older women. Section your hair off into a dramatic side part, then apply some of TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Serum throughout your strands to smooth out any frizz or flyaways as you rock this chic and modern style.

5. Trimmed and Neat Strands
Combine a trimmed haircut and beard with a touch of styling product for a dignified style that still makes a statement. A small dab of Axe Spiked-Up Look: Extreme Hold Gel combed throughout the front of your hair will keep your strands looking styled without looking overdone.
6. Texture and Length
The shorter side of long hair holds more possibilities than you might think. There’s nothing like throwing established hair norms to the wayside and rocking a shaggier look with your grown-in gray strands. A soft surfer wave takes center stage with this haircut and this style takes another step in the easy going direction when paired with a trimmed beard.
7. Fade Cut
The classic fade is a cool short haircut taken to another level when you add a salt and pepper element to the look. Combing the longer strands on top towards the side adds a touch of elegance to this typically boyish style.
8. Comb Back
Grab a hairbrush when you hop out of the shower. Apply a dime-sized amount of AXE Spiked-Up Look: Extreme Hold Gel to your hair and then comb it straight back. Let it dry in this shape and enjoy the benefits of a cool and sleek look.
