Many celebrities are switching from long hair to short, trending haircuts that define their face and give them a new look.
One prevalent short haircut seen in the past year was the messy bob, in which the hair is tousled and styled to give you an edgy look. But you have many other options to achieve this effect.
Let's take a look at seven cool and edgy short hairstyles to try this year.
Mid-Length Bob
A mid-length bob involves cutting the hair a little below the chin and higher than your shoulders, which can give you an edgy appearance.
A mid-length bob works best for women who have thick hair and want to shorten it for easier maintenance. It also complements those who have curly hair.
Pairing curly or wavy hair with this hairstyle would result in locks with more volume, especially if styled with a side part and finished with mousse.
Unfortunately, not all face shapes pair well with a mid-length bob; it is more recommended for those with an oval-shaped face.
A Sharp Long Bob
Another option for upgrading your look with shorter hair is the sharp long bob, a variation of the regular bob with the front part shorter than the back.
This hairstyle can give you a new look and help define your face, especially if you have a round face. The long bob style makes the face look longer and less wide.
This haircut suits individuals with finer hair or very straight locks.
Shaggy Pixie
Even though we love a good bob, pixie cuts offer a fun alternative, especially for women with oval or round face shapes.
The shaggy pixie cut consists of a pixie cut that has many small layers, so you can have a tousled look while keeping your hair out of your face.
The haircut looks great on people with highlights or deep colors such as purple or red.
A Brushed-Up Pixie
Some women prefer to feel very free with their hair, and the brushed-up pixie offers exactly that.
This style is a pixie cut where the sides of the hair are more patted down, and the top has more volume.
This cut is definitely edgy, especially if you dye it fun colors such as dark green or mix it in with your regular hair color. No matter how you style it, you will look adventurous with your new cut.
Bold Buzz Cut
Buzzcuts were traditionally associated with men, but over the past few decades, women have learned how liberating having short hair can be.
A buzz cut is trendy among women who want a low-maintenance look that accentuates their neck and face shape.
With a buzz cut, you can eliminate one more thing from your daily routine, as you no longer need to spend hours blow-drying or straightening your hair. Just use a product that adds a little shine and be on your way!
Voluminous Pompadour
The pompadour hairstyle is loved by many with short hair who want a preppy look.
This voluminous hairstyle involves flattened sides of the hair and a voluminous center.
This haircut is perfect for those who want to look more modern and need something simple that they can just brush every morning before leaving the house.
With the voluminous pompadour, all that's needed is to brush the hair back with either gel or a soft oil.
Old Hollywood Finger Waves
Old Hollywood glamour is making a comeback, and fans of shows like "Downton Abbey" will want to try this fashionable haircut.
This hairstyle is simple; all you have to do is use your favorite gel or hair cream to slicken the hair. Then, with some product, create an S shape design.
This style will give your haircut some flavor and is perfect for a night out, particularly for those with long face shapes.
