70 Short Hairstyles for Women to Show to Your Stylist ASAP

No matter your hair length, there's no shortage of styling options for you. And although people tend to think that those with long hair get to have more fun– since there's more length to experiment with–women with short hair have plenty of styles to choose from, too. It's all about having fun, a creative eye, and a few (or 70) inspiration pictures for reference.

Let's get one thing straight though: short hair is not one-size-fits-all. The term "short hair" is widely encompassing and refers to everything from buzz cuts with fades to lobs that veer on the longer side. So, if your hair length falls anywhere in between or you're wishing it would, then this article is for you.

Below, we showcase 70 of our favorite short hairstyles for women as seen on celebrities. Plus, we share some styling tips, too. From Adwoa Aboah's buzz and Selena Gomez's wet look lob to Lana Condor's tousled bob and Kate Hudson's pixie, keep scrolling for more.

Lob with Birkin Bangs

Megan Fox recently debuted a total hair transformation—a chic lob with overgrown Birkin bangs. Plus, she opted for a new color, trading in her signature dark hair for a caramel blonde hue with dark roots.

Shoulder-Length Beachy Waves

Recreate Jenna Ortega's SAG Awards look by adding a few loose waves to your hair. The style is giving effortless, beachy vibes.

Retro Flipped Bob

Lizzo is a hair chameleon and has rocked every style imaginable. However, this retro flipped-out bob is undoubtedly one of our favorites.

Icy Blonde Bob

Kourtney Kardashian is inspiring us to play around with cuts and colors. Her new icy blonde blunt bob is super edgy and cool.

Modern Marilyn Bob

Zendaya is also leaning into the beauty of bobs right now. This look is all about voluminous, bouncy curls.

Blunt Mini Bob

Hailey Bieber recently debuted a chic layer-free mini bob, featuring a middle part and blunt ends.

Two-Toned Tresses

If you don't want to fully commit to a bold color, experiment with dying your ends, like Kaia Gerber did here.

Deep Side Part With Texture

Technically, Cara is growing out her super short hairstyle—but we're obsessed with her side-swept bob. If you're currently growing out a pixie crop, let Cara be your inspo.

Asymmetric With a Slight Undercut

Taraji P. Henson has given us several aspirational short-hair looks, but this asymmetrical crop with a shaved side is one of our favorites.

Fluffy Pompadour

Oh, hello, shiny pompadour. We're used to seeing Alicia Keys with long braided hair, but we're very much enjoying this cropped 'do she's been sporting.

Wet-Look Bob

One of our favorite looks on model, Irina Shayk, is this seriously daring choppy bob and fringe combo. One word: fierce.

Tousled and Short

This windblown crop of Kerry Washington's is giving us serious just-stepped-out-of-the-convertible vibes.

Wavy Mohawk

Kelly Osbourne's signature lilac roots make quite the statement when styled in a wavy mohawk. Give your shorter hair volume with Oribe's Swept Up Volume Spray ($42) after you've washed and blow-dried it.

Curly Pixie

Ruth Negga's haircut makes for ideal inspiration for anyone with naturally curly hair. "If you have curly hair, rock your natural texture," advises Heath. "I love R+Co COOL WIND pH Perfect Air-Dry Crème ($32) to help the hair air dry. Work with your texture, rather than fighting it."

Center-Parted Bob

Jenna Dewan has had short hair for a while, but one look of hers that really turned heads was this even shorter, sleeker bob complete with a center part.

Wet-Look Lob With Side Part

Upgrade that lob with a slicked-back wet look, like Selena Gomez'. Ask your hairdresser for longer layers so you can transform your look from day to night with just a few products.

Styled Pixie

Kate Hudson makes growing out a buzz cut look effortless with this textured crop adorned with a simple black headband at the 2018 Golden Globes.

Bob With Short Bangs

Solange Knowles' short hairstyle will suit diamond-, oval-, and square-shaped faces. According to Grenia; the key to a similar style starts in the shower. "Prep curls using a hydration-boosting shampoo and conditioner (I love IGK Thirsty Girl Anti-frizz Shampoo and Conditioner, $27) and for best results, leave the conditioner in the hair for an extra five to ten minutes, brush well, and rinse. Using a microfiber towel, gently squeeze excess moisture from the hair." Allow to air-dry and you're golden.

Side-Parted and Short

The Crown's Claire Foy proves a simple quiff can make a short haircut look seriously cool. And might we add, her bejeweled top pulls the entire look together in a rather regal way.

Bleached Pixie

Zoë Kravitz proves how striking a pixie cut can look, especially when it's super blonde. Note the mussed-up texture, which makes it look both effortless and cool.

Blunt Bob With Bangs

Sam Rollinson shows how a micro bob can look seriously cool, plus the piece-y fringe frames her face.

'90s Short With Bangs

If you think short hair and baby bangs don't mix, check out Keke Palmer's pixie with a petite fringe and think again.

Undercut With Swoop

The side shave and the quiff are very reminiscent of Miley Cyrus, but that's not a bad thing. We love this cut and color on Katy Perry.

Blunt Lob With Side Part

Not content with simply having super-short hair, Nicole Richie has also gone for that super-platinum blonde we love.

Pixie With Texture

Michelle Williams is arguably the queen of the short haircut. This platinum crop, which she debuted at the Academy Awards, is a stunning iteration of her shorter 'dos, and it might well be our favorite.

Pixie Afro

Lupita Nyong'o's short haircut suits oval- and heart-shaped faces.

Avant-Garde Buzz

Here's how to own a buzzcut: project confidence by drawing even more attention to the style with buzzed-in designs on one side of the head.

Blunt Bob With Texture and Bangs

If you're after something universally flattering, look no further. Yara Shahidi's curly bob hairstyle suits round-, oval-, square-, heart- and diamond-shaped faces.

Spiky Pixie

The best way to rock a short crop is to add product and spike the hair sky-high. To achieve a similar look, make sure you ask for it to be cut long at the front, so you have length to play with.

Center-Parted Wavy Lob

This ultra-flattering blunt bob on Jourdan Dunn actually suits most face shapes. And if you have some texture to work with, don't be afraid to play with it. "There are so many great products that enhance your natural waves or curl while preventing frizz," Heath says. "You can use a product like R+Co. MOON LANDING Ant-Humidity Spray ($33) on your curls once they are dry, too."

Slicked Back With Volume

As seen on Ruby Rose, this unconventional cut is easy to pull off when you've got an amazing face and incredible eyebrows.

Blown-Out Pixie

Jennifer Hudson keeps it short, spiky, and chic with this pixie cut. Use some hair pomade or texture cream to keep the front cool and piecey.

Super-Blunt Bob

Coco Rocha has tried out many different hairstyles in her time, but we do love this short, sharp bob on her. The '90s-style fringe is definitely something we can get on board with, too.

Slightly Side-Parted Bob

We can feel ourselves growing more sophisticated just by looking at this sleek bob on Regina King.

Natural Pixie

A slightly longer pixie allows you to show off your natural texture (just be sure to use a conditioning cream to keep the hair well-hydrated).

Center-Parted and Ear-Length

Hikari Mori is the first person to make us swoon over this haircut since Shawn in Boy Meets World.

Buzzed on the Sides

This short platinum shave has been Cynthia Erivo's signature look for a while, and we can certainly see why.

Tousled Pixie

Remember when Natalie Portman shaved her head for her role in V for Vendetta? While the star was growing her hair back, she also ended up with this gorgeous pixie crop.

Pixie With Length

Halle Berry rocks a seriously punk-rock fringe in the front of her short, angular 'do.

Chin-Length Bob With Heavy Bangs

Taylor Swift's bob hairstyle is great for square-, diamond-, oval- and heart-shaped faces.

Natural and Classic

We love all of Viola Davis' hair looks, but her natural curls with subtle red coloring might just take the cake.

Middle Part With Fluffy Texture

Queen Bey has been wearing her locks long for a while, but let's not forget this great honeyed bob moment. If you have natural curls, try air-drying hair to achieve this look. "Using a towel, begin ‘scrunching’ hair to compress and encourage the natural curl pattern," advises Grenia. "Where desired, pick up 1-2 inch sections, twist hair in the natural direction of the curl, and gently compress. This is a great way to even [bring] out curl pattern and add texture to areas where hair may naturally be straighter."

Combed Forward Pixie

Jessie J's short, textured haircut is perfect for oval- and heart-shaped faces. And we just love the contrast of this icy blonde hue against the singer's peaches and cream skin tone.

Straight Up and Styled

Comedy queen Leslie Jones' pompadour is equal parts cool, quirky, and trendy.

Side-Part With Slight Waves

Charlize Theron's short, side-swept cut suits heart-, diamond- and oval-shaped faces.

Old Hollywood

Rihanna's classy 'do is giving us major Old Hollywood vibes a la Mia Farrow. Perhaps it's the straight across baby bangs?

Tousled and Short

Anne Hathaway's short haircut is longer on top, which gives her the flexibility to play with her parting and the texture to mix up her hairstyle on the daily.

Side Part With Length On Top

Morena Baccarin shows us how to pull off the perfect pageboy cut while still keeping things feminine.

Chin-Length

Mia Wasikowska's side-parted bob looks soft because the unfinished ends balance out the sleek texture.

Classic Blowout

Camilla Belle's curled bob is a great example of retro-inspired without feeling dated.

Short With a Single Braid

Think you can't embrace braids with short hair? Think again. Here, Carey Mulligan has used a small fishtail braid to pull the hair off her face. Clever.

Blown-Out and Slicked Back

Long layers slicked back like Demi's are a chic style for any occasion.

Short With a Headband

Queen of the short haircut, Ginnifer Goodwin got the headband memo.

Side-Parted With a Retro Twist

Jessica Alba's wavy, tousled chop is effortlessly chic, especially with her honey blonde color.

Razor-Cut Ends

Rita Ora's shaggy, front-combed pixie is making us re-evaluate our relationship with the term "combover."

Bang-Length

The fringe on Sienna Miller's cut is a cute way to do the super-short crop.

Asymmetric With Natural Texture

Amandla Stenberg's natural curl pattern gives way to the prettiest, face-framing spiral bangs.

Bob With a Blowout

We're loving the ease of Gabrielle Union's blown-out bob and swept side bang.

Air-Dried and Short

If you're into just-rolled-out-of-bed hair, Thandie Newton's textured pixie will be right up your alley.

Retro Bob

Lily Collins knows how versatile a bob is. Wear it sleek, textured, or style it with retro Marcel-esque waves for a party.

Bob With Subtle Beach Waves

Calling all beach-wave lovers: Ciara's deep side part is the ultimate way to show off that texture.

Longer on Top

Trust Tilda Swinton to go for something a little more left field. This quiffed short crop is made all the more dramatic by the shade of bold blonde.

Accessorized

Even a super-short haircut like Emma Watson's can take an accessory. A small decorative comb is an easy way to elevate your look.

Long Pixie

When Kate Moss stepped out with this haircut in 2001, everyone dashed to the salon. The beauty of this look is that it hasn't lost its power, and it's as chic and modern today as it was then.

Tousled Lob with Side Part

Lana Condor's messy lob is perfect for a night out with friends. Equal parts fun and stylish, the best way to achieve this style is by spritzing some volumizing powder into the roots and throughout the middle layer of your hair. We like Dae's Fairy Duster Volumizing Dry Shampoo Powder ($30).

Subtle Fade

Low-maintenance, high impact, and max glam, Adwoa's subtle fade looks even more badass when paired with a dramatic eye look.

Slicked Back and Flipped

Slick it back to the gods à la Lori Harvey with a playful and exaggerated flip at the ends.

Wet Lob

Another wet look in the books is Rosalia's drenched lob. Parted to the side and dressed up with shades and a bold lip, this look is for the baddies.

Betty Boop

Channel your favorite flirty cartoon character by styling your hair in similar loopy designs—just make sure you have a strong-hold hair gel on hand to lock every pin curl into place.

Piece-y Pixie with Bangs

We take your basic pixie and raise it a pixie with side-swept bangs. Cardi B proves just how cool this look can be and takes it up a notch by styling her bangs in a piece-y style that screams rock n' roll.
