Unlike what magazines say, short haircuts have never been out of fashion. They are easy to maintain and style. Long hair, on the other hand, takes significant time to detangle, brush, and then style. You may also need several tools and hair products. But with short hair, once the initial styling is done in a salon, you can manage it at home. Check out some of the trendy, short hairstyles to try out next:

Curtain bangs
Curtain bangs flatter any face type and shape and highlight your face’s bone structure and positive features. This short hairstyle goes well with jaw-length hair that is straight or wavy. Curtain bangs are also ideal for permed bob if you have a heart-shaped or a square face, as it helps frame your face from all sides.

Modern Diana
Lady Diana’s feathered haircut swayed young girls and women all around the world, with millions copying her style to the tee. Today’s young influencers have revived Lady Di’s bob with some modern additions. The Diana bob suits almost all hair types and works with thick, straight, and curly hair. While Lady Di wore it with a middle parting, a fringe, or combed back, the new twist is to have a side parting. Style the bob according to the shape of your face and hair volume so that it suits you perfectly.

Subtle flip
In a flipped hairstyle, the stylist flips or curls the hair ends upwards, which was a style popular in the 1960s. The flip has now become a top choice all over again for short hair. It is easy to do at home without the need for a stylist. You must blow-dry your hair and use a flat iron to flip the hair ends very slightly. You can do this when you want to do something different to your hair for a special occasion or a day out.

Top knot
You don’t need long hair to wear a top knot. A half top knot and a top knot can be a fun and cool and quick style when you are out grocery shopping, doing errands, or attending an informal event. You can tame it down for a formal event by accessorizing it with a hair net or wearing a pearl clip with it. It goes well with almost any outfit, including a cool breezy skirt or a dress, trousers, and even evening gowns.

Shags
A shag hair cut is a style where the hair at the top and sides are layered at different lengths. Essentially, you may have full strands around the crown, and the hair begins to thin like fringes around the edges. Since it is all about choppy hair ends, it adds texture to your hair. You can go in for shags if your hair looks too flat and you want to add volume. If you want to take it a step further, add highlights to accentuate the layers to create a dashing look. Short shags are low maintenance and can attract attention to your eyes, cheekbones, and ears with a couple of bangs.

Orbs
This is an ideal cut if you want to keep your hair really short. If you have curly hair and want to remove the bulk on the side but maintain the curls on top, you can try getting the orb cut. To add volume to the strands, apply a volumizing mousse and then blow dry your hair.

Inverted bob
The inverted bob is a trending hairstyle where the hair extends longer in the front and is short in the back. It is easy to maintain, and you can style it using a flat or curling iron. If you plan to cut your long hair, an inverted bob can add freshness to your face and make you look chic and stylish.

Tips for maintaining a short haircut
Women, especially working women, prefer short hair because it is easier to maintain and needs fewer products than long hair does. That said, it does not mean a wash and shampoo is enough. If you don’t take good care of your short hair, you can face drastic hair fall, and you may also see some change in its texture. Excess hair fall can also reduce hair volume and make the hair in the crown sparse. Here are some simple steps that are easy to follow and help you maintain your short hairstyle:

Use your fingers more to untangle and smoothen your hair. You can use a bristle brush for brushing and styling. Blow-dry your hair to create a smooth finish. Note that roughly brushing your hair can change its texture.
Hair styling tools generate heat, and regularly using them can damage the hair shaft.
Use a high-quality certified product to style your short hair rather than using generic products that might do more harm than good.
Wash your hair daily and rinse in cold water to retain the shine.
Trim your hair once every three to six weeks as uneven growth, especially if you have styles like the orb cut. Uneven growth, when neglected, can damage the hairstyle and change your appearance.
