Really Short Haircuts For Teens

Teens can try out short haircuts to create an edgy, youthful look.

Short haircuts can give you an edgy, cute, no-fuss look. Short styles can also complement your face shape and make your features stand out. Numerous young celebrities have sported really short styles, including Rihanna, Natalie Portman and Emma Watson. Teens can try out these chic short styles for a fresh, modern look.

Pixie Cut

This popular style is generally short on the back and sides of the head and a little longer at the top. It usually has many short layers, which creates interest. The pixie cut is inspired by French gamines like Jean Seberg in the film "Breathless." This flirty tomboy look is a great option for teens who want to stand out from the crowd. This style works best if you have thin, straight hair. The pixie will also emphasize your cheekbones and large eyes. If you're opting for a really short take on this look, consider cutting hair as short as half an inch in some places to 2 inches in other places. Pixie cuts are effortlessly chic and can be dressed up or down.

Angled Bob

Seen on celebrities like Victoria Beckham, this look is inspired by the 1920s flapper era. The angled bob is a very short style that features angled pieces in front and shorter hair in the back. The result is an artistic, edgy look that frames the face. Bangs often accompany angled bobs, either as long side bangs or straight, blunt bangs. Bangs cut straight across the forehead make this hairstyle more dramatic and add a certain Hollywood flair, recalling actress Louise Brooks's famous cut. The angled bob is usually chin length or above. This modern, architectural cut works well on round-shaped faces, as it makes your face appear longer and leaner. Teens can keep this look sleek and straight or use mousse to create dramatic volume.

Short and Spiky

This haircut is rock n' roll chic and perfect for teens who love adventure. The glam rock inspired hairstyle is cut short all around, with many razor-edged layers to create texture. Wispy, angled bangs are also a common addition to the look. This is a versatile style that can be both edgy and soft. To create a spiky, edgy look, apply extra hold gel to the ends of the hair and twist up. Because of its many layers, this short cut can also be transformed into a messy, bed-head look. To create this look, run mousse throughout your hair and scrunch. Since this style is quite bold and sharp, this cut looks great as a contrast to soft, feminine features.
