This haircut is longer than most pixie cuts, but the shortness around the ears still gives it that cute elfin effect. Lighter colors on the top of the hair show off the short layers at the back as well as the long bangs at the front.
A good short haircut looks pretty cool even after the trivial ”scrunch and go” styling. Whether you’ve dropped in to upgrade your usual cut or want a more drastic change like going from medium or long to very short, you’ll find a bunch of cute ideas below: fun edgy bobs, bold pixies and the loveliest boyish cuts are all here. Take a look for some change inspiration!
– Messy and matte razor-cut shags were sported in the spring shows of Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, and Haider Ackermann, to name a few. Although shags of the current season are as edgy as ever, they feature the seamless transitions between layers.
– Female mullets of the above-the shoulder length are as popular as their longer versions this season. If you have fine hair with a light wave and seek for more volume on the top of your head, go for a short-to-medium mullet cut. It’s going to work as a cool self-styling option.
– Trendy shaggy pixies hairstyles are good for girls with big eyes and small noses, while strong facial features become even more pronounced with such haircuts for girls.
– Bowl cuts are also on, but note that they don’t flatter women and girls with a strong jaw line.
With so many variations and styles to choose from, short cuts offer endless possibilities for personalization and self-expression. And for those seeking inspiration, exploring some captivating ideas is a great way to discover the perfect look. With these 40 short haircuts for girls, you’re sure to find a style that makes you glow and stand out!

One of the best things about girls’ short haircuts is that they are incredibly easy to style. A semi short pixie cut like this can be swept to the side with wax for a carefree day-time look, or straightened for a sophisticated evening hairdo.
Cute short haircuts for girls can have a hidden twist. If you have thick hair, you can cover an undercut beneath a textured bob to make it less heavy. Highlights and lowlights will draw more attention to the style.
@buddywporter
Short curly haircut is a rarer thing than medium or long cuts for curly hair. Contrary to a common belief it’s not so hard to keep your cropped curls neat and pretty. A dab of curl enhancer to add, and you’ll come up with a gorgeous style like this.
When rocking a short haircut for girls, it can be hard to get creative with such a little length. This is the time to trade in hot tools and scissors in favor of color and texture. By filtering complementary colors of burgundy, orange and golden blonde throughout the front of your hair, you are able to create an interesting look without overpowering your cropped cut.
@hairbyelena
Ruffled choppy layers can create a model-esque look with minimal styling. Push the hair forward for a dramatic effect that shows off the short hair at the back. Alternatively, tuck the hair behind your ears for a slightly messy mane that’s suitable for work.
@lapomponnee
Short haircuts for girls with oval-shaped faces look especially good with short bangs. A style boasting cropped front and sides will highlight your best facial features, while keeping some length on top will allow you to have fun with spikes or crunched layers.
@caitlintyczka
You might think that short haircuts for girls look rather severe, but they can just as easily be soft and feminine. Choppy layers in a delicate hue can frame the face as well as soften strong features. Add a few subtle highlights to complete the look.
@rachelpesh
Modernize the wedge cut with a silver shade and a steep slant from back to front. To make the style a little less severe, add textured layers. Show off the sharp shape with super straightened locks.
@emilyandersonstyling
This haircut is longer than most pixie cuts, but the shortness around the ears still gives it that cute elfin effect. Lighter colors on the top of the hair show off the short layers at the back as well as the long bangs at the front.
@audreyn_hair
Anyone who’s had short hair before knows the difficulty of growing it out without looking like a scarecrow. This pixie-to-bob transition is aided with a few short top layers to help distribute the hair’s weight. Brightly colored hair also distracts from any unevenness!
@desirre_escobedo
At the top of the list of our favourite short snips is the graduated pixie. What makes this cut particularly interesting is the use of different lengths and angles. If you want a haircut that shows off your artistic side, this is perfect.
@clintoncutshair
Incorporate shades of blonde into the dark brown base of your cute short haircut for girls to brighten it up and lend some edge to the long bang. This look also works well for round faces because the side angled bang slims full cheeks.
@hairbyelena
For those who want short hair but plenty of height, meet the pixie quiff. The short back and sides create a stunning contrast with the long locks on top. You’ll need a little back-combing and lots of hairspray, then you’re good to go!
@art.with.sara
Many women cut their hair as a sign of independence or to start over when it has been damaged. Whatever the reason may be, you don’t have to sacrifice style when sporting a short haircut for girls; shift the focus to your beautiful face with a bright swipe of lipstick and bold earrings.
@katierosehair
Girl short haircuts are often completed with long side bangs, and this style is no exception. Make your fringe your statement piece by letting it stand out from the rest of your cut. As you can see, even an extra inch of length makes all the difference.
@anhcotran
Whether you’re blessed with thick locks or aiming to enhance your hair’s thickness, this style promises to deliver chic sophistication with a touch of flair. The chunky graded pieces strategically add volume at the crown, while the edgy face-framing ends contribute to a polished finish.
@yuya__hair
This low-cut pixie bob hairstyle boasts fabulous density, striking a perfect balance between moderate volume and chic creasy texture. If you’re seeking an effortlessly natural look with a touch of zest, this style is undeniably yours!
@vitosatalino_official
Here’s a modern take on the classic bob cut that involves a multitude of layers, which is a key to volume and definition. A razor cutting and caramel highlights can bring you the desired texture and movement, resulting in a stylish and dynamic haircut that exudes confidence and style!
@rodrigocintra
We truly enjoy the mysterious allure of this edgy short pixie, achieved through the addition of forest green shade! An undercut emphasizes its rebellious charm and makes it more stylish and one-of-a-kind.
@akira__sato
The bob is a classic hairstyle that stands the test of time, but why not inject it with a fresh twist by incorporating some color? Opt for a pastel purple shade and a deep side parting to infuse the style with a fanciful vibe and extra texture and volume.
@headrushdesigns
This modern quiff hairstyle features short sides paired with a longer top, striking a balance between polished and rebellious. Elevate the style further with bright emerald highlights for a fun and edgy look that screams your bright individuality.
@shmoakin_hair
A pixie bob haircut with added layers is an excellent solution for thick hair as it removes bulk, making the locks more manageable. But how about making it a bit more daring and alluring with a pop of color? Choose peach or orange shades for skin with warm undertones and pink or purple for a cool-toned complexion.
@livingdeadhair
This spiky pixie is perfect for those in creative fields like fashion or graphic design, where expressing one’s unique personality is celebrated. A play of contrasts created by mixing platinum, peachy, and rose gold tones will draw maximum attention to your beautiful features and warm skin tone.
@laurenandersen
A harmonious fusion of brunette curls and chunky silver highlights not only adds dimension to your hair but also brightens your appearance. Shaved temples spice this look and further accentuate the voluminous curly top. Embrace the fearless spirit of this pixie style and let it be a reflection of your creativity and originality.
@akira__sato
From every angle, this choppy bob exudes confidence and makes a bold statement, making it quite a catch for girls who refuse to fade into the background. A pop of purple color boosts its sassiness further, adding movement and dynamic to the overall look.
@hairpin_me_down85
This purple short stacked bob is a statement look that oozes personality without veering into the realm of being overly bizarre. However, it’s essential to note that maintaining this captivating hairstyle requires dedication to both the cut and color.
@headrushdesigns
The versatility of this voluminous and layered short cut allows you to experiment with different hairstyles, going from sleek and polished to edgy and tousled. Elongated swept bangs can balance your face shape and accentuate your gorgeous smoky eyes.

@hairbyelm
This is the perfect hairdo for young girls who want to experiment with an edgier look, but can’t commit to a full-on style transformation due to school dress codes or parental restrictions. The faux Mohawk is fun style for the weekend, but it can easily be transformed into a more appropriate week day look with a long bang – simply brush it down.
There’s a reason purple is so popular, it is the color of royalty and it is vibrant while still being in the darker color family. By mixing a pop of violet into your haircut with a really short section, you can break up the black hair color and balance out the shaved design.
@bescene
Ladies’ short hairdos certainly don’t have to be boyish. With a few strategic curls, you can create a vintage style that’s both eye-catching and feminine. Use mousse to add volume around the crown of your cut and to loosely secure the curls around your face.
@angieshairsalon
The most dramatic of the short girl haircuts is the female buzz cut. Achieving this look can be as simple as shaving off your hair, but a slight fade will make this a winning edgy look. Unsurprisingly, no styling is required, just bags of confidence!
@fernthebarber
Boyish haircuts don’t have to be short all over. An undercut is a great way to model a buzzed look without losing too much length. Pair it with a sweeping fringe that starts from the crown of your head to exhibit the contrast of lengths.
@rtaigen
You can easily spice up a short bob haircut with an undercut. Shaving one temple and the nape of the neck will completely transform your haircut. This style is also a great way to utilize a contrasting two-tone hair color solution.
@ladyponyo
Somewhere between a pixie and a bob, this unusual haircut oozes all the sass of a shaved style with the femininity of a longer look. The bright hair color gives it an almost anime-esque effect, and the length also really highlights the cheek bones.
@jaymz.marsters
Girls with curly or wavy hair can sport this boyish pixie cut with ease and pleasure. Cropped locks will naturally show off the short choppy layers and create an interesting texture. A handful of wax will perfect the look and tame any disobedient strays.
@salonchristol
Have it made heavily layered, cropped and sharpened through the contours. Leave the bangs smooth and gently caressing the forehead to balance the style and place the accents strategically. Tousle the tresses on the crown, and you are hair-dressed to kill!
A light asymmetry and feathery finish are not something extraordinary, but thanks to the gorgeous honey base with golden blonde highlights this haircut turns into a fabulous dimensional style, you’d take a second glance at for sure.
This light golden pixie with asymmetric bangs and gracefully trimmed temples remains sweet, soft and kind of fluffy in spite of the light styling shagginess. The choice of hair hue and matching earrings couldn’t have been any better, indeed.
Thick hair cropped this way will cause you no inconvenience or maintenance problems. The unnecessary bulk is removed thanks to a tapered silhouette and grading towards the edges. That’s a cool fringy finish I love!
The shortened temple and nape areas let shift an emphasis to the messy textured crown with extra-long bangs as the main attraction of this bold sporty look. If you see something special in there, note an idea to upgrade your present pixie.
A haircut can boost your natural beauty, draw attention to the eyes, bring out the contours of your face and neck outlines or ruin a favorable impression totally. Therefore, choose thoughtfully and trust your beauty only into professional hands.
