Inspirational Short Hairstyle Ideas for 20-Somethings
Short Hairstyle Idea #1: Feathered Layers
Draw inspiration from the feathered looks of the ’70s and put a modern spin on it. Short haircuts with feathered layers give your hair lots of movement. This look is ideal for 20-somethings with thinner hair types who are after a cut that gives the illusion of fuller hair. Just remember to tame things down with a serum, like Nexxus Humectress Encapsulate Serum, to keep the frizzies at bay.
Short Hairstyle Idea #2: Versatile Haircuts
Apparently we millennials have a hard time making up their mind, or just get bored very easily. If this sounds like you, settle on a haircut that allows you to be flexible with your styling options. Who says you have to stick with just one look?
Short Hairstyle Idea #3: Free-Flowing Side Lob
You know that point in your twenties when you’re looking for a cut that makes you look your age? We’ve been there. If you’re looking for a more grown-up look, opt for this free-flowing side lob. A bit of texturizing wax rubbed through, like Bed Head by TIGI Manipulator Matte, helps give a bit of tousle.
Short Hairstyle Idea #4: Rounded Pixie Haircut
If you’re a gal in her twenties that believes she was a famous Hollywood celebrity from the ’50s in a past life, this rounded pixie haircut may be worth a try. The pixie haircut continues to be a popular haircut till this very day, but we’re all about giving the look your own personal touch (maybe a piecey micro fringe?).
Short Hairstyle Idea #5: The Fashion Girl Bob
If you frequent fashion blogs and Instagram images of the street style set for your fashion and beauty inspiration, why not consider a short hairstyle idea that continues to reign supreme amongst your favorite street style stars, like this one. Try your hand at this fashion-forward bob haircut. Ed’s note: Try this trend out on lived-in or second-day hair to create a more stylish iteration of the cut, and don’t forget your handy-dandy salt spray, like Suave Professionals Sea Mineral Infusion Texturizing Sea Salt Spray, for that extra oomph of texture… even in the winter.
Short Hairstyle Idea #6: Teeny-Weeny ‘Fro
No matter your curl type, if going back to your natural hair texture is a decision you plan to make in your 20s, by all means, go for it. Say goodbye to your hair straightening days and rock a curly baby ‘fro with confidence!
