Short Layered Hairstyles

Short layered hairstyles look great on women of all ages and with all types of hair. Thin or straight hair can get plenty of body and movement with the right short layered hairstyle. Thicker hair is easier to style or control when the right layers are added. And, curly hair looks cute when layers are added to control the waves and body.

Short layered hairstyles are generally considered to be hairstyles that are around chin length or shorter. Some short layered hairstyles are spikier, others have a more classic style. Some styles have longer hair in the front, with ‘buzzed’ or razor short hair in the back. Regardless of the length, shape or style, short layered hairstyles can be trendy and classy all at the same time and never seem to go out of style.

Different types of short layered hairstyles include the layered bob, the crop, the pixie, and the inverted bob. Many hairdressers will add creative highlights or dip the ends of short layered hairstyles for added dramatic effect. When the longer layers are on the top, hair tends to curl under, while having longer layers on the bottom gives the hair a little bit of ‘swing’ and movement.
