Creative hairstyles for short hair

Shake off that winter chill and welcome in a new season with us!

Spring begins this month so we’re looking at short hairstyles which are perfect for getting out more to enjoy the extra Vancouver sunshine and warmer weather. There are plenty of styles to choose from to suit your mood, personality, lifestyle, face shape or hair type. Let’s dive in!

Short hairstyles to love

  • Pixies. Short on the sides and in the back, longer on top

  • Bob. Cut to one length all around, collarbone, chin or higher

  • Shag. Lots of texture, lots of layers, feathering; it's fabulous

Pixie cuts are incredibly versatile, suiting a wide variety of face shapes, hair types and ages. They’re a great choice for thick hair, fine hair, and everything in between. Though finer hair may need more help with gels and mousses, textured layers also add volume. 

Pixies aren’t just for straight hair either. Wavy, curly, even kinky hair can sport this flattering cut. And to mix things up even more, pixies can be combined with other short styles to create fun hybrids. The bixie cut, for example, is a combination of a pixie cut and a bob! The mixie, too, gets its super trendy look from pairing a pixie with a mullet.

Ask your stylist what other mods they can make because there's a ton. Add even more excitement and flair with colour and undercuts.

The bob is another versatile short hairstyle that can be worn any number of ways. Our short hair hairstylists in Kits will help determine the best length according to your face shape. Popular lengths for a bob are to your collarbone, chin or cheekbones as it helps to highlight and flatter features in those areas. This style can be worn with a fringe or without and is an easy short hairstyle to maintain. Asymmetric bobs take this style into edgy territory in 2024 so look for more of these in the coming months.

Shag hairstyles add fullness to the top of the head and leave wispy layers framing the face. It’s softening and flattering at the same time. Suitable for all types of hair, the shag is an easy-care style. It’s ideal for a wash-and-go lifestyle for those who don’t want to–or don’t have time to–put a lot of effort into everyday styling.

Sassy, cute, edgy, flirty, fun, sleek, sophisticated or all-business, there’s a short hairstyle for every type of hair this spring.
