Short Haircuts For Teens

Teenagers with short hair can change their hair often.

Teenage years are the best time to experiment with shorter hairstyles. Because teenagers are young, their hair grows much quicker. It's also easier to carry off unique styles when you have youth on your side. There are lots of different short haircuts teenagers can have, which means they can swap their style often to keep up with the latest trends. If you want a new haircut, take a photo of what you want to the hairdresser to help give her a better idea.

Pixie Crop

This cut is very short and suits teenagers with angular faces. It's a very low-maintenance hairstyle guaranteed to turn heads. Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, had this cut done in August 2010 and it really highlights her angular features. But it's a brave choice, as your hair will be cut very short and close to the face and will take some time to grow out.

Long Bob

Ask your hairdresser to give you a long bob that gets shorter at the back of your head. The front of your hair should fall about an inch below your jawline, and the back of your hair should just cover the nape of your neck. This style, sometimes called "the swing," suits just about anybody and looks really good if you volumize the hair at the back.

Short Bob and Bangs

This is a good haircut for any teenager who wants to stand out and have a bit of a vintage look. Ask your hairdresser to cut your hair into a short bob just below your ears with a short fringe about an inch above your eyes. This cut looks especially good with dark hair. It can be worn sleek, or your can flick it out with your hair straightener.

Shaggy Blond Crop

This haircut was made famous by supermodel Agyness Deyn in 2008. The peroxide-blond shaggy crop is great for teenagers who want to stand out from the crowd. Ask your hairdresser to strip the color from your hair entirely and to cut it into a shaggy crop with lots of volume at the top of the head.
