Short, Relaxed Hair

Straightened short hair looks great with choppy, layered fringe. Call us obsessed, but we’re taking this look modeled by @napolinaoa to our next hair appointment.

Short Platinum Haircut

This short platinum haircut, styled by NYC-based hairstylist Daryce Willis is proof that curls and color are a perfect pair.

Bowl Cut

Bowl cuts are cool again, and we think the look below by @jastanae may have something to do with it.

Waves and Curls

This combination of waves and curls (created by hairstylist Tynisha Barnes) is particularly chic and a fun approach to a short look. We recommend using the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Curls Refresh and Reshape Leave-In Spray or the Carol’s Daughter Coco Crème Curl Perfecting Water Coco Mist to give dehydrated curls a boost in between styling.

Short Protective Hairstyle

Switch it up and try a short protective style — we love this braided look created by LA-based braider Tanasia. It’s a fun way to change things up without permanently cutting your hair.

Pincurls

Hairstylist Patrice Bowie takes finger-waves and curls to a new level with the look below, which is too cute for words.
