To truly elevate your look from ordinary to extraordinary, sprinkle in a bit of unexpected pops of color. Yellow and pink chunky money pieces add a touch of whimsy and intrigue, ensuring your mane turns heads.
Spring is the time of changes or renewal, and sensible female nature can’t help responding to them. So, it’s the right moment to refresh your haircut, isn’t it? So, what options do you have? You can go for a completely new style or introduce a trendy twist to your usual cut that you have been wearing for years. To consider which way to go, it won’t be superfluous to be aware of the current hair trends. Among others the runways of the biggest fashion shows presented lots of messy “bedhead” styles made on the basis of shag haircuts with rough edges. We have gathered some of the best ideas here, so, you are welcome to have a look.
They reflect a strong personality and may be opposed to feminine romantic styles with soft flowing lines and sleek textures. Rough haircuts show the other side of femininity, and that’s pretty cool that a woman can be so different just changing a haircut. Funky haircuts blend harmoniously into the modern casual style. And they do also look hot for special occasions. Cropped edges of your favorite timeless chin-length bob or long edgy bangs with a short pixie are an excellent way to look fresh, young and in trend. Sharp rich layers and playing with textures add a special ultra-modern flair that adjusts your looks for what is currently on the fashion peak.
If you stick to medium or long haircuts, there’s also a way to make them edgier and chicer accordingly. Below there are examples of edgy short haircuts, medium-length and longer cuts with shaggy outlines which you may adopt as an idea for your big spring renewal.

This haircut beautifully demonstrates how even a deliberately messy style can exude a sense of neatness and refinement. Check out how the layered baby bangs add a flattering touch of detail to this style, giving the girly vibes to the appearance.
The best edgy hairstyles push creativity to the max. This impressive look has a structural quality because of the unique cut above the ear. Her hairstylist is a master not only with scissors but with clippers too. On top of it all, those color combos are divine!
You don’t have to try funky fun colors to rock a wild look. If you want to keep a more natural color, then you need to make sure the cut has some attitude. Here, the style is created with cute side burn pieces, side bangs, and short choppy layers with some serious stacking in the back. Burgundy lips don’t hurt either!
Acid greens and yellows are just about the only colors that can still impress us in this age of rainbow hair. What could be more futuristic than acid hair? The color is especially cool with a black or gray base. Layers allow the mix-match shades to blend beautifully.
Red, burgundy, or maroon tones are a definite favorite for edgy haircuts. These versatile shades look great against a variety of skin tones. One necessary element for edgy hair is bold makeup. Short hair makes facial features stand out, so inventive makeup helps complete the edgy look.
This luscious cascade of burgundy locks, featuring ribbons of different colors, embodies sophistication with a twist. Both haircut and highlighting make your hair look fuller and more dimensional, especially if combined with long curtain bangs, as showcased here. Perfect for longer lengths: from shoulder-length hair and longer.

If you want a short funky cut that’s easy to style, this one’s for you. Put a little mouse on naturally wavy hair and air dry. No brainer! Because the choppiness is SO important for the style, you will want to get trims at least every two months.

For edgy bob haircuts that look young and modern, go for a dark to light ombre that quickly transitions between the shades (because of the short hair length). We’ve seen many versions of ombre by now, and this one is a true standout. The dark roots and platinum ends lend edge to the otherwise soft, silky bob.
The beauty of the long pixie is in its versatility, as you can easily go from classy, neatly styled longer layers to an edgy, spiky quiff. Consider this bold choice is particularly appealing for those with oval or round face shapes.

Playful and trendy, this chic wolf haircut can become a highlight of your image.

It’s also a good choice for those with fine hair looking for an extra boost of volume and body.

An edgy haircut should never make you look like you’re trying too hard. For something cute and easy, ask your stylist for an all-one length crop that skims the jaw corners and forehead. Lots of short layers and wavy texture will help give it a trendy messy look.
Blonde hair has the power to exude a soft, effortless allure, but when it’s taken to platinum heights, it unleashes a bold, rockstar-worthy charisma. As for the haircut, you can go for a short pixie or grow out pixie to mullet, emphasizing its sassy vibes with a side undercut.

Some of the best short edgy haircuts have carelessness about them. If you love flipping your hair from side to side and aren’t the fussy type, then you should choose a haircut with plenty of movement. This cut looks great with 90s goth inspired styling for the full I-don’t-care effect.
If you don’t want to experiment with short edgy cuts, try coloring your hair in vivid shades in unexpected combinations instead. For example, a color-blocking technique that combines a black hue with this radiant shade of blood orange. Looks stunning and fascinating!
