The Hottest Short Hairstyles

Who makes the hot list? The top girl, as you might expect, is new hair icon Katie Holmes with her blunt-cut ends. Her 2008 style was so popular that her 2009 haircut also gets a lot of attention.

The Hottest Short Hairstyles

"Now that Katie has let her new bob grow out a little, she's finding new ways to style it." It's a very simple change, though, that they show. It's really just her basic bob with her hair pulled back over one ear.

Even though Katie copied Victoria's Beckham's bob last year, the British singer was bumped into second place with her adjusted short hairstyle that has sleek strands. Her haircolor makeover took her from blonde to brunette, and her new style "made her angular Pob super sleek." You have to love her very subtle highlights!

The Hottest Short Hairstyles for Women

Faux blonde Paris Hilton gets third place with a "faux fringe" that uses a clip-in hair extension. It looks like one way to get an instant Pob hairdo without all the drama. Some women wouldn't mind trying out a Posh hairstyle, but it's a long-term style commitment. It will take a long time to get your hair back after cutting it so short at the back. Also, it isn't considered the most professional of short hairstyles at every workplace.

Carla Gugino is fourth with her stylish new lightly curled haircut. It suits her face and her age beautifully.

Nancy Millan is seen next with her dark hair in a rounded bob plus bangs. It looks like a 70s bob, but still very nice today. Cute but mature.

Kylie Bax has a very cool new short hairstyle with lots of layers that is very short at the back. It looks somewhat like Victoria Beckham's bob in that regard, but it's fresh, fun, and very slightly shattered looking. It makes a really good evening hairdo! Short Styles says it has "tapered, precision-cut layers."

The Hottest Short Haircut for Women

Katherine Heigl is in 7th place with a very short but very sexy new hair design. It is layered in a feathered style that looks very similar to the most popular long layered hairstyles Jessica Simpson wears. It is even shorter than chin length and that makes it an extreme makeover; in fact it may be one of the biggest celebrity hair makeovers so far in 2009. It leaves her face completely free of any hair; that qualifies it as a perfect summer hairstyle. It looks cool and will keep you cool.

Kimberly Stewart is a new short-haired girl! The blonde star cut off a lot of her hair and got it layered. Whereas other short bob haircuts nowadays are curling in at the ends towards the neck, hers flips out a little on one side. (She pulls it over her ear on the other side.) Even though Kim's parted asymmetrical cut looks sharp on her, teen girls will love her style, too. Plain bob hairstyles that curl in aren't always flattering for young women who need hairstyles with more personality and style. It's fine for everyday but makes a fun, new, short formal hairdo, too. It elegantly combines some of the trendy hair design elements.

Finally, the very short haircut of Sarah Harding is noted. She likes to change her hairstyle a lot and the latest version is cool like the earlier ones. This new one is side-parted and angled, so it's heavy on one side at the edge of her forehead, and slightly covers one eye.

Short hairstyles can be representative of any type of person we are representing. From the chic business woman to the sexy girl next door, short hair is not a faux pas anymore.

Although short hair is not for everybody, some will find compact hairstyles actually more complimentary on them than longer hairstyles. For those that already have shorter hair, there are many different techniques to mold the hair that you might not be aware of featuring textured crops, curl outs, and many others. Asking a personal hair stylist might be the best way to locate trendy, new hairstyles.


For those interested in getting a shorter haircut and being free of taking care of all that long hair, these hairstyles might be exactly what you need. If you have seen hairstyles on stars like Cameron Diaz or Ashley Judd or have noticed an exciting hairstyle in a fashion magazine like Cosmopolitan, and ever wondered or thought that it would appear good on you, then you absolutely should consider these hairstyles.

These hairstyles are sometimes the refreshing new item in life that brings things into a unique perspective. Again, however , we must stress that adopting short hair is a big step as you will have to live with the cut for a while before it grows all back. Changing to various hairstyles with varying lengths will take some time without the aid of extensions.

Tools for Styling Short Hairstyles

For short hairstyles, most of the same gels that are used for other hair lengths will work as well including anti-frizzing gels and sprays. Certain products can help lock down hair and keep all the shorter locks sleek and prevent frizzing, thus producing some astounding hairstyles.

For curling or hair straightening, there are modest sized tools like CHI and Sedu with plates ranging from 3/4" to 1" that are useful for styling short hair. Hair setters like Caruso brand setters, have smaller sized setters that are effective for creating textured hairstyles.

Because these hairstyles requires diverse ways of styling, consideration is needed when using certain styling tools. A majority of styling gels and sprays should work with any length hair, but pomades and gels that really provide texture will produce improved looks.
