How to Style Short Hair: 6 Different Ways to Style 1 Hairstyle
One of the most common question I receive from my readers is how to style short hair. Like long hair, it’s easy to get stuck in the rut of styling your hair exactly same way everyday. Guilty! So I had my hairstylist Sophia Simone show me six different ways to style my short hair — she totally opened my eyes to the possibilities! And the best news is I’m sharing it with you.
I have been going to Sophia for several years now and if you’re a woman in the Greater Seattle area looking for a woman who specializes in short hair, go see her! In fact, you’ll even get $20 off with this referral card.

Short Hair Inspiration – take it straight to your stylist!
As someone who has sported short hair for over four years, I am always collecting photos of the cutest short ‘dos. If you’re looking for short hair inspiration, my Pinterest Short Hair pinboard has over 1100 followers and is a terrific resource. It’s a collection of some fabulous inspiration for short hair. Here are a few of my favorites. (Since I’m a natural brunette, you may notice that many of the photos feature brunettes. They would look just as great on a blonde or redhead.)

How can you go wrong with Ginnifer Goodwin? She is the short hair “it” girl of the moment, if you ask me. Here’s another angle of all the texture.

When I was flirting with the idea of short hair initially, I kept coming back to this cut.
I based one of my hairstyles off this edgy, short haircut. Love how short it is in the back and the longer bangs.
ANTM's McKey in Seventeen Magazine
Who isn’t inspired by the makeover episodes of America’s Next Top Model where they shear some girl’s hair totally short? McKey’s short hair in Cycle 11 was one of my faves. In the same cycle, Samantha also had a really cool asymmetrical cut.

A lot of the time short hair can look really edgy, but I like how soft and feminine this is in comparison.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham has been one of my style icons for years and when she cut her hair in this pixie cut, I was transfixed!

Shannyn Sossamyn (my doppelganger!) is proof that short hair can be messy and super cute.

This Short Asymmetrical Haircut Doesn’t Work for Everyone
Today I saw a professional man in his late 20s sporting a Justin Bieber-style haircut and nearly did a double take. All you have to do is look around to see that this asymmetrical cut is really hot right now, especially among the hipster crowd. But it doesn’t work for everyone.
The cut worked for Justin Bieber.
It worked for the Asian guy from Twilight, Justin Chon.
It worked for Michelle Williams.
It worked for Robyn.
It worked for Rihanna.
It worked for me.

If you’re in a creative field like marketing or design, then it could work for you, too. But sir, if you want to be taken seriously as a professional, choose something other than a haircut that is associated with hipster boys and stylish women. This cut, my friend, is not for you.
