Short hair can be surprisingly versatile, especially when you're willing to experiment not only with different looks, but with various products to get the styles you want. For teens who are busy with school and extracurricular activities, short hair can be chic and low-maintenance.
Consider Your Lifestyle and Hair Texture
Before deciding on the short haircut you want, consider how much time you have to put into daily styling. Active teens who juggle school, sports and other extracurricular activities should opt for low-maintenance styles that work with your hair's texture instead of against it. Once the right cut is in place, daily styling should be minimal.
To further keep styling time down, leave wavy or curly hair in its natural state; likewise, let your naturally straight hair be. When you try to change your texture with straightening or curling, you move into more maintenance.
Very Short Styles
Very short styles that teens look good in include the classic pixie cut, which works well on oval and heart-shaped faces. Even though the length is very short (usually no more than one or two inches), you can create different looks with a good cut. Brush it straight for a classic, stylized look, or use gel or pomade to make it piecey and modern.
The shag haircut is a messier style that's perfect for teens who don't want every hair in place. Long, thick bangs combine with long layers; shags can range from ear to chin length. Longer shags feature fringe around the bottom layers that you can brush onto your neck.
Tapered looks can be styled in an edgy way by combing bangs upward and back, while making the rest of the hair piecey. You can also style tapered looks in a soft way, by adding mousse instead of gel for added control and volume.
More Short Styles
A classic bob never goes out of style. The length varies from ear to chin length and works on straight or curly hair. Part the bob down the center or on one side. Angled bobs feature longer hair toward the front and tapering to shorter lengths toward the back. Wear bobs with or without bangs.
Other short styles that look good on teens include boy cuts, with straight, allover length; flipped curls that are directed up or out; and razor cuts that showcase sharp edges.
Teens with curly or kinky hair can wear short Afros or Caesar cuts if their hair is natural; if it's straightened, any of the straight styles will work.
