So you are someone who does not have a lot of time to take care of your hair, which is why you have chosen to cut your hair really short. However, you are also someone who does not want to compromise with style, which is why you are constantly on the lookout for new hairstyles that you can do easily and on your own.
Luckily for you, there are plenty of hairstyles that are ideal for short hair and are actually quite easy to do.
- Pixie cuts: If you have opted for a pixie cut, then there are plenty of styles you can try out and one would be colouring your hair interesting colours. To give it a look that is in step with the modern times, dampen your hair and apply a light leave in treatment. Using a blow dryer along with a paddle brush, simply set your hair and ensure that the style frames your face in a gentle manner. If you are looking for a more voluminous look, then you can apply a smoothening lotion to your damp hair and then use a blow dryer first. Later, with the help of a straightening iron, you can create a look that is sleek, but also provides volume to the top of the head or in the crown area.

- Classic girl: If you have a short bob, then you could go for a look that is popularly known as the classic girl. The look is a soft and gentle one, which is often styled using the fingers. The style is done using dry hair, wherein you have to apply a lightweight texturizing serum and give it the time to set. Your curling iron should have a large barrel setting, using which you should try to create S like waves all through your hair. Make sure that you do not comb your hair through vigorously after that and finish the look with a hairspray. You can make the look a tad bit more stylish, by adding a bejewelled or floral headband.
- Ringlets: This is yet another great hairstyle for short bob cuts and does not require a lot of work. Use a volumizing serum or foam and work it through the length of your dry hair. With the help of a small barrel curling iron, create curls in your hair and allow them to set for a while. Before finishing the style off, run your fingers through the base of the hair and spray a light hold hairspray.

- Romantic updo: Even if you have a bob cut or shoulder length hair, you can have an updo and the same can look great for formal occasions or a romantic evening. If you have naturally curly hair, then this is a good style for you, and if you have straight hair, then you could curl your hair first, using a curling iron. Gently backcomb the hair at the crown and create a side partition. Random sections of the hair can then be pinned at the nape of the neck and in the area, just above it.

- Top knot: While a full-fledged top knot might not be possible with short hair, a half top knot most certainly is. Gather the top half of your hair around the crown and tie it up like a ponytail. Now, twist the lengths of the ponytail to create multiple knots and then secure the same with a rubber band or bobby pins. However, this is a style that looks better when it is slightly messy.
- Twisted half up: This is an elegant hairdo for a formal occasion and is actually quite easy and quick to do. Section the front part of your hair into two parts and the twist both of them towards the back. Once you are about to reach the centre, simply twist each end into the other, so that there is no clear line of demarcation of either sides. If there are any stray hairs, simply pin them inwards to hide them.

- Wavy twists: This is a wonderful choice for women who have short hair that is curly or wavy in texture. Take a two inch section from one side of your head and twist it towards the back of your hair. Use bobby pins to secure the same. Take a section of the same size from the other side and repeat the process. Make sure that you join both sections at the centre of the head and secure the same well.
