It’s an obvious transformation as we see Taylor Swift change from one short hair style to another. And with celebrities like Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence all chopping their hair to make way for a cleaner and more elegant look, we can’t help but delve into this short hair trend as well. It’s time to trade your long flowy locks to this season’s trendiest short hair styles.

We’ve come up with a list of hair styles that have been constantly seen around the metro and flaunted by style icons and celebrities everywhere. Check out these youthful and surprisingly low-maintenance short hair cuts that you should try today.

Blunt Cut

Although an abundance of layered hair styles is still seen, the one-Length hair is making a powerful statement and it’s screaming “try me now”. Almost guileless in its simplicity, the blunt cut is able to give out a strong character. It’s a fresh and new short haircut for the lover of daring looks and stand out style. Fit a length suitable to your taste and keep the cut straight, sleek and “un-layered”. It’s a blunt and eye-catching force to every glance that passes your way.

Wavy Bob (The Wob)

This one is an obvious trendsetter. The wavy bob can be seen in a number of your international and local celebrities like Emma Stone, Karlie Kloss, Kathryn Bernardo, Lovi Poe and many more. The “wob” haircut brings out a very feminine feature. It’s a little bit of sweet and edgy combined. The wavy texture and shape makes it versatile enough to wear on everyday casual occasions up to fancy formal events (with a bit of styling). The wob is a carefree hairstyle for the young and youthful at heart.

Grunge Pixie Cut

It’s the killer choppy cut defines “edgy” in terms of haircut. The grunge pixie cut features a close crop with a styled messy feel that is both classic and cutting edge. Perfect for the bold, brave and cunningly daring, the grunge pixie haircut can be flaunted alongside casual looks and when styled correctly, it can be a wildly chic and elegant hairdo for a sleek and sophisticated occasion.

Messy Short Bob

Having “bed head” and the “I woke up like this” trend are awfully staged these days. A messy short bob is an easy and effortless way to pull off all those undone selfies and a quick-to-style hair do for the gal who’s always on the go. An inch or two shorter than the wavy bob, the messy short bob in summary is an “organized chaos”.

Sleek Bob

Sometimes also referred to as the A-line Bob, we’ve seen it flaunted by famous celebrities like Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lawrence. Apart from flattering your face shape, the sleek bob veers away from the wavy trend and opts for a straight fuller look and a perfect volume at the back of your head. It’s sleek, smooth and glossy style makes for a spot on mischievous tousled aura. This haircut is perfect for strong and independent women who have a very powerful impression.

Straight Lob

It’s a long version of a bob which often reaches until shoulder length. Only slightly layered and naturally drapes for that beautiful straight fall. If you’re skeptic over cutting your hair too short or feeling sentimental over your long locks, you can opt for a straight lob that cuts midaway.
