Mephisto Cut

Short haircut with pointy sideburns for blonde and silver hair
 
Distinct lines shape the contours of this daring short haircut. The modern art shape of the bangs and the pointy sideburns truly convey a bold approach to fashion. Looks with such intensity move beyond a mere haircut and become a statement and a reflection of a bold nature.
 
All outlines are clean and sharp, with an inner texture supported by the hair coloring. Beige blonde and silver provide light and shadow, creating a subtle yet wonderful contrast. The straight styling shows just one aspect; check out the next image to see how the layers of the cut come to life.
 

Short Hairstyle with Wispy Layers

Short and easy pixie cut with layers
 
Summer is the time to play, and nothing is more fun than playing with your hair. The short geometric pixie cut is restyled with much movement and wispy tips that highlight the fine layers. It is light, fun, easy to create, and flattering to wear.
 
The shape of the bangs is kept intact—this curved line is just too cool to dishevel—but the rest of the crown is styled in a casual, happy way.
 

Elegant Short in Red

Short hair with free ears for women
 
Chic from top to bottom and front to back. This flawless short hairstyle for women exudes finesse. Fine layers make the surface smooth and allow the dark red hair color to sparkle. The ear is free and outlined meticulously, and the point of the fringe is perfectly balanced with the length of the neck.
 
This masterpiece of composition also features a special effect: coppery strands define the line of the fringe and add some heat to the cooler dark color. Click on to find out what else you can do with this attractive cut!
 

Gel Look

Easy-to-style female gel look for short hair
 
If you want to show more of your face and stay on top of the latest trend, saturate the short haircut with gel and comb it back for a highly intriguing androgynous look. This style is easy to create and perfect for any party.
 
Use accessories to make it festive, or pair it with a leather jacket or chic pant suit. A little lift in the roots of the fringe adds more pizzazz. The model wears eye shadow that matches the coppery streaks in the hair for a well-rounded and complete look.
 

Classic with Wave

Rounded chin-length bob that follows the shape of the head
 
A little tradition is wonderful, but breaking with it is so much fun and very attractive. The classic bob with chin length and slight asymmetry on the sides is styled with the back all demure and rounded to follow the shape of the head.
 
The front section was pulled straight and then curved outward for a stunning and refreshing effect. A little texture in the tips contributes to this soft yet edgy look. The brightest platinum blonde was combined with a softer tone, creating a very natural and refined color.
 

Curly Quiff on Bob

Short hairstyle with a rolled-up fringe
 
For a dramatic variation on your bob, roll up the fringe. Exaggeration is trendy, so there’s no need to be too humble. Make it big, from the accessories to the huge, lightweight curls. A little teasing in the roots and a lot of hairspray will keep it looking great for hours. Tuck the rest of the front behind your ears where it connects with the straight back.
 
This short hairstyle calls for equally dramatic eye makeup, and dark smoky shadow is just the right companion.
 

Tapered in Red

Long red hair with bangs and a tapered cutting line
 
Turn up the power and boost your stylish life with a red-glowing hairstyle. The deep fringe brings much focus to her eyes, and the layers, along with the tapered line, frame her face in a sophisticated rock-and-roll style.
 
Keep it straight to showcase the various tones of red and light copper, which turn this long cut into a display of fireworks.
 

Ravishing Spirals

Long red hair with festive spiral curls
 
Dress up your look by adding some rolling spirals. These thick corkscrew-shaped curls make her face-framing, tapered, and layered cut very feminine and especially festive. There’s always a reason to celebrate, and perhaps the beautiful red hair color could be one of them.
 
It’s more than just a color; it’s a play of fascinating cool and warm hues set next to each other to create dimension and an amazing play of light and shadow on the hair.
 

Short and Dandy

Neat and super short haircut for men
 
Keep it neat with a super short haircut. The hair will fall into place all by itself, and all you need to do is wash, comb, and walk out the door. To spruce up the style, a little gel can go a long way, turning the dapper short cut into a trendy wet look.
 
The tiny wave in front adds a pleasant retro touch, as does the forward direction held in place with the product. For a totally different look based on the same cut, check out the next photo!

Tradition with Volume

Neat and proper haircut with a clipped back for men
