Women of all ages can look good sporting a short, chic hairstyle. Shorter styles are well-liked because they are easy to manage and generally wash-and-go, which is ideal for women with busy lifestyles. Most short hairstyles require frequent trims for maintenance. Otherwise, light blow drying and some styling gel or mousse are enough to keep the cuts looking their best.
The Pageboy
The pageboy was popularized in the 1950s when several Hollywood movie stars sported the look copied from English pageboys. The cut is characterized by blunt bangs and hair that curls inward or outward near the ears. It is best suited for straight hair, but can also work for wavy hair. This style is suitable for most face shapes, but particularly for oval and long faces. Styling is also fairly simple--after washing, use a round brush and blow dryer to curl the ends. If you have wavy hair, use a flat iron to straighten the bangs and leave the rest naturally wavy. To maintain this style, you will have to get trims every 6 to 8 weeks.
The Chop
The chop is a hairstyle previously known as the pixie or gamine. It is a very short hairstyle cropped close to the head and about 2 inches in length overall. Wispy layers are added throughout the hair to give texture and body. Because this cut is so short, it necessitates frequent trims--one every two months or so. When styling, wash and condition as usual, then use mousse or pomade to separate the short layers. You can also use a round brush to lift the roots and curl the strands slightly for volume.
The Bowl
The bowl cut was originally a popular hairstyle for young boys and men, but over the years it has been embraced and worn by women. The cut is one length throughout and envelopes the head like a bowl. The ends are slightly rounded inward and blunt-cut bangs cover the forehead. This style is best for oval, oblong, long and heart-shaped faces. It will typically make round faces look rounder. This style is also best suited for thick, straight hair that will be able to hold the style more easily than curly or wavy hair. As with the other short hairstyles, make sure to get trims every 6 to 8 weeks for maintenance.
