At the same time, some women have reservations about short hair and feel they don’t look feminine. However, we assure you that if you look at what the most popular hairstyles of 2022 have to offer, you are sure to be tempted to give it a try.

We have compiled a list of short hairstyles that may inspire you to experiment with your looks and decide to go shorter this year. Let’ have a look.

The many styles of the pixie cut

You may be surprised to know this, but the pixie cut is a diverse style, and there are multiple ways you can style it. For instance, you can go for a pixie with side bangs. If you want a more striking look, you can opt for a pixie with upward bangs and an overall ruffled look. It is also a great way to make your hair look more voluminous.

Moreover, pixie doesn’t always have to be extremely short. You can get a pixie haircut with a deep partition on the side to create the effect of side bangs with more hair on the top. It is sure to make you look very classy.

If you have straight hair, one way you can style a pixie cut is to wear it short with straight light bangs. Alternatively, you can go for the classic pixie and support a chopped-up haircut.

Bob hairstyles

Like the pixie cut, there are multiple ways to carry a bob. One example is a shoulder-cut bob with heavy layers. This kind of hairstyle gives volume to the hair and also makes it look quite classy.

Alternatively, you can go for a rounded bob with a wavy hair look and have bangs in the front. It is simple yet elegant and gives a balanced look. You may be surprised, but a bob haircut is not only for straight or wavy hair; you can also opt for it if you have very curly hair. A slightly longer bob with a sideways partition adds softness to the facial features and reflects elegance with subtlety.

Moreover, if you are looking for a powerful professional look, you can go for the razor-cut straight bob. A little asymmetry makes it look very edgy and can help you achieve that professional looking you may be seeking.

If you consider going for a short haircut, consider your hair texture, hair type, and face cut. Going shorter also means your hair will mainly be framing your face, so you must choose a look that complements your face and highlights your features. Moreover, the cut must be suited to your hair type so you can maintain it with minimal effort.
