50 Short Hairstyles and Haircuts for Women in 2021

Long hair is great in its own right, but we’ve really been digging shorter styles these days. Case in point: all the super-cool buzz cuts we’ve been seeing from the celeb set. And look, short hair is great because it draws more attention to your face, allowing your unique bone structure to be the star of the show. 

But the thing about short hair is that it does require a fair share of maintenance. Hair grows eventually, so in order to keep your style looking fly, it’s important to give it the care it needs. That means treatments and trims, beloveds whether with a stylist or at home if you’ve mastered DIY upkeep.  

Then, of course, there is the question of styling. Some folks can get a little lost when it’s time to actually do something with short hair, but trust us, there is a lot you can do with a little length. All you need is some guidance, and lucky you, we’ve got it right here.  

Whether you’ve been thinking of cutting your hair short, or you already have short hair and you’re trying to decide on a style, you’ve come to the right place. We rounded up some of the dopest, fiercest short cuts and styles to inspire your next new look. There’s something for every hair texture and no shortage of options. (Sorry, we had to!)
