November 13, 2020 //  by Petro Cirstea Leave a Comment

Short hair is easier to care for than long hair, but it can be more of a challenge to style at times! But worry not: there are still plenty of stylish, sophisticated, and easy choices for you to get the most out of your sweet & short locks.

Below you’ll find +50 beautiful ideas which we believe to be ideal for ladies with shorter haircuts, from bobs and lobs to buzz cuts and everything in between!

When we find a hairstyle that requires almost no effort yet creates a ‘wow’ effect, we’re absolutely in love! So is the case with this look, which is great for any type of wavy bob or lob with evenly cut hair.

As presented to us by actress Tessa Thomson, a high bun can look just as good on shorter hair as it does on longer locks. Make sure to purposely leave out a few curly hair strands for some extra playfulness!

The Marilyn Curls

The Marilyn-Curls are just as iconic for blondes as they are for short hair. You will be the star of any (Zoom) meeting, (online) Uni class, or (socially distant) dinner you attend! And if you’re looking for more gorgeous hairstyles for blonde hair, make sure to check out this list!

If you want to have your lob looking as good as Kim Kardashian’s does in this picture, there are a few steps to follow. Firstly, make sure it is straight and well brushed, then arrange it with a middle parting, and finally turn your tips slightly inwards for that finishing touch!

As shown by model Kaia Gerber, a sleek, straight bob with middle parting is a haircut that can save you a lot of effort during busy mornings.
