Wispy Curtain Bangs and Short Bob
Whispy curtain bangs and short bobs are two of the hottest hair trends right now. So, how gorgeous would a combination of both be? We love the short bob for creating a confident, sophisticated aesthetic. Whispy curtain bangs soften the look, creating a more elegant look that frames your face better than the typical bob style.

#12. French Bob with Micro Bangs
If you’re looking for flair, the French bob is your new best friend. This classic cut hasn’t gone out of style in 100 years. And now, you can bring even more chic to the party with micro bangs, another 20’s trend we can’t get enough of.

For something a little more relaxed and casual for your wavy hair, go for a messy beach bob. The textured layers are laid back and enhance wavy hair, giving that “salt air treated ” look. Styling this cut is as easy as waking up, tousling, and going about your day. Effortless beauty is coming right up!

#24. Tapered Buzz Cut
For something super short and simple, a tapered buzz cut over a virtually zero-maintenance look. Just wake up and go. It’s daring, but if you have the facial features to pull it off, you definitely won’t regret it!
#25. Cropped Pixie with Pastel Highlights
If you thought the pixie couldn’t get better, you were wrong! By placing pastel highlights, you can take that peppy pixie up a notch (or five). Pastels are soft, subtle hints of color. Nothing too crazy, but just enough to pop, especially on a white or platinum base.
#26. Asymmetrical Cut with Peekaboo Colors
Anyone for a big helping of drama with a side-order of play? If so, the asymmetrical cut with some colorful peekaboos is just the hairstyle for you. The dramatic asymmetrical bob brings drama to your look, while the colorful peekaboos help your look stay less edgy and more playful.
