Are you searching for the perfect way to switch up your look with an edgy short haircut? Edgy cuts make a statement and offer versatility when styling them to match various moods.
Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts don’t just mean carefully-groomed lobs and dramatic silhouettes – numerous other fun styles can flatter any face shape! If you want to show your rebellious side, why not experiment with something like Dorothy Hamill’s Spiky Pixie Cut,, which adds some punk flair? Equally, you can add girly flair to your pixie by choosing colors that are softer and subtler than your natural hair shade. Add balayage highlights for extra drama. Style it with baby bangs for an asymmetrical layered pixie that looks incredibly alive and textured; be sure to spray your locks with hairspray afterward!
Choppy Crop
This choppy cut with uneven lengths is ideal for adding movement to any look, featuring different textures to give a modern, chic vibe that suits most face shapes. Wear bangs either swept to either side or straight across for optimal effect. A choppy crop will complete any look, whether your hair is straight or wavy. Its choppy ends add texture and volume if your locks are thin or delicate. Plus, add highlights for added brightness and depth! The choppy crop may be the ideal alternative if you need more time to be you need more time to be ready to commit to a full pixie or bob cut. As it is a combination of both styles, making it versatile for any outfit and situation.
Lob
Asymmetrical lobs are an eye-catching trend that exudes chicness. A great way to accentuate facial features and make your face appear slimmer is by having one side longer than the other or adding long layered bangs framing your face. Medium lobs are ideal for those who want to look stylish without going for a full pixie cut style. Their versatile shape complements many hair textures; you can style yours straight for an upscale aesthetic or leave it looser with a wave. Dyeing your lob with silver highlights is an ideal way to achieve an eye-catching style that draws the most attention. This cooler hue makes styling easier than vibrant ones and will draw focus to your cut.
Super Short Bangs
One of the edgiest hair trends is super short bangs, which require courage but add an instant and stylish flair to any look. Agyness Deyn’s famous spiked pixie cut features short cropped shorter strands blended in with her white blonde highlights for an eye-catching and striking style. Blunt, choppy bangs can look chic and edgy on natural straight hair. Keep your strands sleek for a sleek finish, use texturizing products to give them more texture for a more anxious style, or flip out the edges when blow drying for a softer effect. Alternately, give your strands a striking look with dark hues like Zoe Kravitz’s. Dyeing can add an edge to your face and work for women of darker and lighter hair colors.
Bold Panels of Color
Sometimes all it takes to add an eye-catching twist to a short haircut is adding some pop with color -and the platinum blonde is an eye-catching way to achieve this look, as seen on Lana Condor. Alternative styles that add subtle hints of edge include hair dye. Ciara showcased this technique beautifully by switching up her hue with an alluring lilac shade that perfectly frames her face while adding just enough drama without being overwhelming.
To finish off an edgy short haircut, use a light-hold hairspray like Bed Head by TIGI Maxxed Out Massive Hold Hairspray, which offers lots of shine while remaining strong enough to maintain the style you created. Available both locally and online.
