Karen Gillan’s pixie doesn’t provide shortened locks at the nape and temples, but her bangs and top tresses are cut with an effect of layering. Karen’s auburn tresses, teased at the roots and combed back, offer us a neat look that is going to look equally beautiful in the office and on the red carpet.
Short red hairstyles are quite popular and trendy nowadays. But it was not always so. Years ago, red-haired women were believed to be witches and were cast into the fire. Not everyone dared to look into their eyes. Today, red-haired beauties still have that little magic spark that’s why men are drawn by the red fire of their locks.
There are 35 most seductive, passionate and sexy looks from redheads. The most beautiful, stylish and confident women are sharing their breathtaking short red hairstyles and haircuts. So, let’s see what new red hair ideas we can draw from them.

With dark brown or black hair, it can be challenging to add in the tones you want, but with a professional color stripping, you can create a gorgeous strawberry blonde balayage, no matter your hair type. Match this hue with a messy layered bob to get a sassy short red hair cut.
What can be more eye-catching and appealing than a sexy short bob paired with a fiery red hue? This short red hair will look appropriate both at the office and at a fancy party. Plus, lighter skin undertones help achieve a rather contrasting look with this hue.
@hirohair
Red hair looks great in all forms, but we do have a soft spot for curly red hair. This voluminous look is stunning in the сopper tone and it ideally suits ladies with light skin tones. Plus, such short red haircuts are easy to maintain.
@yukistylist
We encourage everyone with red natural hair to emphasize their color with a stylish chin-length bob. With a side part and messy locks, this cut will look more voluminous and brighter, giving more texture to your red strands.
@donovanmillshair
If having short red hair isn’t for you, having red lowlights appearing from the darkness is a fun style to match with an angled bob cut. With this highlighted look, you can have the pleasure of red hair with less commitment.
@shmoakin_hair
If you want to catch everyone’s attention, then this hairstyle is just what you need. Curls add more dimension and fun to the whole style, and the red hue makes it look even more vibrant. This type of hairstyle perfectly complement tanned skin tones.
@axfagundes
This hairstyle deserves special attention. Not so many younger women dare to wear such bright, extravagant haircuts, hairstyles, and hair colors. Yet, once you decide to go for this terrific experiment, you’ll never regret it!
@beautiful_by_natalie
There’s something captivating in the bright hue of the hair, especially when you’re wearing nude makeup. The haircut done this way is a great way to frame the face and visually elongate it, while the red color is a good option to emphasize your facial features.
@pinkdagger
This auburn cut is stunning. A straight, neck-length bob is an excellent solution for all face shapes and hair types. Also, this ’do is easy to style at home with a flat iron or a hot brush.
@alyssamikaylahair
This spunky look combines blonde with orange tones underneath for a dramatic scene look. Although it suggests a lot of touch ups at the hair salon, it creates a magnificent first impression that is definitely worth any extra maintenance.
@bescene
When experimenting with short red hair, ask your hairdresser for a multi-tonal look. Having both lowlights and highlights of red adds a sparkling dimension to your locks. Just imagine how stunning this tousled red hair will look in the sunlight!
@toniiii_j_hair
Don’t you mind some extra attention to your personality? Then opt for bright and eccentric looks, just like this fancy wavy bob with red-orange-yellow balayage. The face-framing locks will accentuate your cheekbones while elongating your face a little bit.
@thegoodhairwitch
Add sassy notes to your dark red hair color with a short haircut and long side-swept bangs. The vivid red hue refreshes the skin tone and overall look, so you can look younger than your age.
@briannehumphreyshair
Having a dark red or purplish-toned red dye added to your hair can create a lot of interest in the look, especially when an eye-catching color is paired with a creative cut. With this cut, you will draw a lot of attention and turn heads everywhere you go!
@kiyotaka_tsutsumi
Step up your pixie cut with a bold undercut and longer curls on top, dyed a bright warm hue. Paired with fiery curls, this undercut pixie looks so sassy and rocky that you have no chance to be overlooked at a party.
@tanarosehair
OMG, isn’t that fiery red hair fabulous? These radiant red highlights will amazingly shimmer under the sunlight, attaching more eyes to your voluminous layered cut. Perfect for those who want to have a more dramatic look.
@kristinacheeseman
This piecey, red short hair is super low maintenance , yet it draws no less attention than all those catchy curly hairstyles. Styles with orange red hues don’t suit all skin tones, but if you have a pale skin tone, you are free to go.
@shapeshifthair
This pixie hairstyle is a worthy red short hair look to try out. A cherry red tone like this will perfectly complement your darker skin tone. In addition, shaved sides will give a bit more rock’n’roll to your style.
@ugcolorss
Go for these admiring large waves with textured ends if you want to stun everyone with a trendy yet elegant style. Include rose gold highlights to add dimension to your color and apply texturizing spray when styling your hair.
@savanna.h.blake
If you prefer short to medium lengths, an A-line bob like this one is a worthy option. Ask your stylist to add red and blonde highlights to your dark brown locks to make your hair color look more elaborate.
@casistauffer
This gorgeous red hair look is great for any occasion because it can be dressed up or down. Can’t you just imagine how cute this would look with a sparkly barrette or headband? It also requires very little fuss in the morning because it looks wonderful with both wavy and straight styles.
@maxwellmathson
Red hair can be done in a few ways, with straight lines or with a more gradient cut (like a layered lob). This blunt style helps the honey tones of this light red hair shine.
@peachstockholm
Pixie haircuts are perfect for sassy short red hairstyles which would really be appreciated by moms, because of the minimal amount of effort they need to look chic. Even the just-got-out-of-bed approach often works with this kind of haircut.
@meucabelocurto
For black people, it can be more difficult to get that bright red hair dye to stick. In these cases, we recommend going for a deep red look to bring out the browns in your skin and to highlight your face. This curly short red hairstyle with dipped ends looks gorgeous in elegant up-dos and sassy loose styles.
@kandyfhair_
There are so many different shades of red, and we believe this gorgeous copper hue flatters light complexions, but looks good with tanned skin too. Red hair can work with any skin tone with just a little tweaking and consideration.
@miriansoares_
This ginger-hued variety of short red hair looks lovely with a soft bang. Side-swept bangs like these are perfect for a relaxed and less structured look.
@trianonsalon
Layers help to communicate the richness of color. This style illustrates that perfectly. Having shoulder-length red hair with layers is ideal for those who want to have the flexibility and convenience of putting their hair up into a bun or ponytail.
@maxwellmathson
This copper red is a great color to try for those who want to have red hair without being too loud. With this tonality, the hair will look brownish when indoors but will have a red sheen in the sunlight.
@nataliakop
At the Venice Film Festival, Emma Stone was shining with beauty, tenderness, and naturalness. The honey-toned red locks of her A-line bob were styled to match the texture of the draped tulle of her dark green dress. A lovely combination of colors and textures has led to the ultimate success of this look.

Jena Malone’s short curly hairstyle is a good idea of an evening look. It bears a vintage flair and breathes with beauty that burns you like flame and ice. Such curls are easy to shape with flat irons. If you want to introduce a modern twist into your hairstyle, let the ends of your curls stick out mischievously. This lady in red is irresistible!

The easiest way to ennoble your a bit outgrown pixie is to texture your locks with mousse and comb them back with a light lift at the roots. Judith Hoag has achieved a lovely look with an aristocratic flair bringing this idea to life. We love her sophisticated subdued red hair color.

Caroline’s light red tresses look as if they have faded under the bright sun of Miami. The effortless volume on the crown, light mess in the locks and the edgy bangs make an impression of a lady who has just returned from her vacation, so rested, fresh and stylish she looks.

Even Scarlet Johansson was once tempted to try the red hair color. Her light auburn tone is elegant and not too bright. Scarlet’s red haircut offers a simple silhouette solution and blunt edges, but it’s styled into light irregular waves to appear less strict and graphic.

The Osbournes know how to surprise us with eye-popping hair colors. Sharon’s pomegranate red is a challenge, feasible only for strong and self-confident personalities. As for the haircut, it’s a good combination of length, silhouette, and low maintenance. If you go for it, you won’t have a problem with its styling.

Red hair color is bright enough to encourage people to cast curious glances at you. If your hairstyle is just as fine as your hair color, you will be on your way to the total success. Red hair looks equally good when styled in smooth waves or straight and sleek layered hairstyles. If you opt to add a naughty messy touch to your red locks, you’ll bring out the sassy facet of your character. Anyway, without trying all variations of red short hairstyles, you won’t find your individual style. So, feel free in your self-expression and stay beautiful.
