Haircuts: Short Layered Hair Cuts and Hairstyles
93Short Layered Haircuts and Hairstyles
Many women think regularly about getting their hair cut in a short style but then they get too scared to do it. The problem for most women is that they’re afraid that they aren’t going to look good with short hair. This is usually caused by the fact that women with long hair have never really learned how to style short hair. What is important to know is that you can get really cute short layered haircuts that offer a wide variety of different style options. You can look young and flirty or grown-up and professional by choosing the right style for a short layered cut. There are great short curly hair cuts as well as great straight haircuts for short layered hair.
There are a lot of great reasons to get a short haircut. Short hair is easier to take care of. Since it’s easier to take care of, it’s easier to keep short hair healthy. Plus short hair is more manageable. It dries more quickly among other benefits. Once you know how to style it, it’s really simple to get great looks from a short layered haircut. Take a look at some of the options that you have for short layered haircuts and hairstyles:
The Short Layered Bob
One of the best short haircuts that many women choose to get is the short layered bob haircut. This is a simple bob cut that has many different layers to it. The layers create a full look for the haircut. You can use coloring and highlighting effects to enhance the different layers and show them off. This is a really textured look that looks complicated and stylish. In reality, the cut itself does all of the work. In most cases, you can just wash-and-go with the short layered bob cut. Simple use of hair gel and a blowdryer can maximize the impact of this type of short layered haircut.
Spiky Short Layered Hairstyle
Someone who wants to go really short with their haircut may want to consider trying out a spiky haircut. You can use a layering effect to keep the bottom of your hair short while leaving enough long on top to create great spikes. This type of haircut is edgy and hip. It’s easy to maintain since your hair is really short. It’s fairly easy to style since it just involves some hair gel or spiking glue. And it has the added benefit of giving some height to your frame. Many women find that this type of short layered hairstyle also provides a thinner look for the face. This is a concern for many women in regards to short haircuts because they fear that being unable to hide behind their long hair will make their faces look pudgier. The spiky short layered hairstyle proves that that’s not the case at all.
Longer In Front
One type of short layered hairstyle that has become really popular in recent years is the style which is longer in front than it is in the back. The long layers in front frame the face nicely and give you the illusion of having longer hair. The shorter layers in back create a stylish haircut that is really easy to maintain. It’s like getting the best of both long hair and short hair. Come to think of it, this is kind of like the reverse design of a mullet – but it offers a much more stylish and flattering look!
Short Cut with Long Bangs
A short layered haircut that is similar to the one described above but which provides a different effect is the cut that is super short in back but has long bangs which are swept forward. The emphasis for this haircut is on the bangs. You can slick back the rest of your hair or just let it hang there but you’ll want to style the bangs to be the attention-getter of this hair cut. The most famous person to have this type of great short layered cut is Mary J. Blige.
Short Curly Hair Styles
Women who have naturally curly hair may find that a short layered look is ideal for them. Curly hair can be difficult to tame and to take care of. With a short layered cut, you can let your hair go a lot more wild and worry less about taming it. Even women who have straight hair may consider going with a curly look when they go short. If you don’t have natural curls, you may want to opt for curls just at the ends of your short layered hair to give the new cut some bounce and energy. Short curly hair styles work for women of all ages.
Flipped Out Layers
A really cute look that can make you feel more youthful is to get simple layers which you can flip out or flip under depending on your mood. You can go with just two or three layers for a short haircut (slightly above shoulder length is ideal). Then you take the top layer and curl it under or curl it the opposite direction to create different looks. This one is fairly easy to take care of although it leans towards a longer haircut than some of the other short layered options that you have.
Short Blunt Layers
Blunt layers are layers that are cut kind of harshly. The effect is usually one akin to ‘bedhead” or “messy hair”, styles that aren’t right for everyone but which can look really sexy on the right woman. Most blunt layer haircuts are long. However, you can do short blunt layers as well. This is a really edgy type of haircut. It’s best if you have eyebrow-length bangs that are bluntly cut to complete the look. You can use short hair updos to make this look less edgy when you need to be more conservative.
A Lady's Mullet
One of the most well-known short layered cuts is the mullet. This is short in the front and long in the back. It is more common to see among men than women. However, some brave women have found that the mullet is a style that works for them. It's particularly popular with gender-bending ladies but it can work for others as well. If you want something different, this one would be it.

Mullets do "nothing" for women or men !!! Hokey & tasteless !!
Funny I ran into this, I just cut my hair short for the first time in a long while. I just wish I could make it look like some of the pictures you posted. That is, all of the pictures besides the lady mullet...I think I'll pass on that one!
Twice in the last two years I had wanted to cut my hair, but decided not to because the guys I was seeing preferred it longer. Both times when we split, I hacked off part of my hair. The last time, I finally went really short. The shortest my hair had ever been. It was cathartic during the cut, and afterward, I loved it! It was so cute, so easy to take care of. After keeping it that way for over six months I'm deciding to grow my hair out, partly because I did like my hair long, but also partly because I'm looking forward to the drastic change of going from long to short again, because I will definitely keep this hair cut (longer in the front, A-line cut) in my arsenal. This is a great encouragement and information piece!
i have curly hair and my hair is brown and and my hair goes past my shoulder a little short in the front and longer in the back past my shoulders and i want it cut short but i dont know what style i want in a hair and it does have short layers in it already but i dont want to put my hair up in a pony tail nomore for work its give a headache and i do hAVE THINCK HAIR BUT YOU SOMTHING DIFFRENT
i love getting bobs, but i always forget how diverse you can get with this simple hairstyles. thanks for sharing the diversity. good work!
I had a ladies' mullet in the 1980s. It only looked good because I was 15 or 16, and most of the people around me were sporting the big hair/haystack bangs look anyway. I wouldn't try it now, but short hairstyles are da bomb. Nice hub.
You brought up an interesting topic, when it comes to looking good in short hair it is all about knowing how to style hair into cute short layered haircuts. My favorite would be the spiky short layered hairstyle.
Mullets are NEVER okay!
Yo short hair is da best eva! i dont give for long giry locks.SHORT 4 EVA!!!!!!! XXXXXXXXX
short is the only way to go, especially if you are over 35. wearing long hair is like not dressing age appropriate. most look much more sophisticated and intelligent with short natural hair. it is easy and convinient and it will really show if the lady is beautiful when you take away the hair & heavy make up. try it, this takes a secure confident beautiful woman to pull it off!
I like the short bob with long bangs. I like your article!
nix on the mullet ladies.
however, i strongly encourage the bob, i had longhair to my waist all throughout highschool and then i cut it all off into a bob, and i love it. bobs go great with heart shaped faces.
hi Kathryn....i like the short cut with long bangs...although I'm with long hair now....but who knows tomorrow go and get one new hair cut....the short cut with long bangs that you recommended looks cool!
I love my short hair, and thank you for the article. It's nice to know I'm not alone in loving my short hair....even my boyfriend prefers it this way!
Great hub. Maybe it's time for me to do something a little different with my hair.
:)
Yeah,I too prefer having short hair...

Great Hub! I keep changing my short-medium style haircut and your hub gave me some great ideas for my next haircut.
I always want my hair to be short, when I was still in school, i used to have very short and bulky hair. but now that I am already working, i try to let my hair grow long because its easier to manage,I can just tie it, and forget about it. lols. but oftentimes I get annoyed with it.
HOW SHORT IS IT IN THE BACK.
Short bob really a good choice,I will try to. But maybe I just like if for a while,I think I need to buy some style lace front wigs for use.I have bought one lace wigs from www.joyooshow.com

I am a fan of layered long hair, you're article shows that it's fine to cut hair short especially when it is layered bob. I voted up and i find it so useful in deciding what hairstyle i should have next time. Mimi
i always wanted to get my hair shorter but also always afraid of doing it, stuck in the middle of thoughts, maybe i should give it a shot but cant really determine if the risk worth it, what if i will get uglier??
i know it is hair and will grow back again fastly but yea, being girl is hard when hairstyle is really important!
My daughter was interested in getting a bob cut. She actually really wants to shorten her lengthy hair and look for styles that flatter the shape of her face. I think these look really great. I couldn't cut my hair that short because unfortunately it is so dead it appears like it never grows.
I had both long and short hair and I love my long hair! Nice hub.
Nice hub - good suggestions
You make me think that having a short hair now is easy because you can style in a fashion way. I personally like the spiky short layered :) Nice Hub Kathryn.
love the one with black hair!!! :)
Good Collection
i like it ... !
Nice article, thanks voted Up and Useful.
I love the short layered bob look; although I have that same haircut minues the bangs. Interesting hairstyles in this article. Thanks for sharing!
At almost 64 I have had loads of different hairstyles in my time ..the one I love is the short layered bob and I seem to have that cut more than any other style ..I have a phobia about the hairdressers having had a bad hair cut once BUT luck came my way in the form of my second hubby who just happens to be a gents hairdresser so I get my hair cut whenever I want it done and he also does the 8 weekly colour....I just give him the scissors and say ''Cut It '' never been dissapointed yet !!
Great Hub
ONLY ONLY NO EXCEPTION .....MORONS DO THE MULLET PERIOD
THAT CUT SHOULDNT EVEN BE SEEN BURN IT OUTDATED HILLBILLY CRAP IDIOT MORON DONT GET ME STARTED
Most men state that they want women to have long hair, but you know what? I don't care what men think anymore. I'm old enough now to do what pleases me instead of worrying about what men want. So I'm going to keep my hair pixie short for the rest of my life, and I love it!
Nice ones... My girlfriend have that one "Short Blunt Layers". She doesnt like having long hair style.
