Short hair is usually easy to maintain, practical, and comfortable, but it’s also much more versatile than you might think. Forget the idea that the only option is to wear it straight with a part. It’s time to go further.

Whether you’re looking for an everyday style or something for a night out, here are eight hairstyle ideas you can create in just a few minutes. The best part? You don’t need dozens of products, just a few basic accessories, your hands, and a mirror. Let’s discover the hairstyle trends of the season!

Soft Waves

This one is always a yes! Easy, flattering, and timeless. The best part is you don’t need to be an expert, just take small sections and create waves using a flat iron or a curling iron. Alternate directions for a more natural effect, then finish with a texturizing spray for volume and movement. Fresh, modern, and ideal for any occasion!

Half-Up Bun

The perfect mix of two styles: half of the hair left loose, the other half tied up in a chic bun. Simply twist the top section of your hair into a bun and secure it with an elastic or bobby pins. The rest stays down for a relaxed, effortless vibe. Keep it sleek for a more polished and elegant look, or leave it a little undone for casual charm.

90s Headband

The 90s headband is back, and it’s no coincidence. Comfortable, flattering, and undeniably nostalgic, it’s one of the top trends of the moment. Perfect for short or long hair (even curls!), it instantly adds a sporty, stylish touch. The best part? You’ll be ready in seconds.

Low Bun

A classic that never goes out of style. The low bun works on any hair type and is suitable for every occasion, from casual to formal. Style it sleek and polished for a more sophisticated finish, or keep it slightly messy for a softer look. Add statement hairpins or a fabric scrunchie to make it truly unique.

Textured Hair

The go-to look to bring life and movement to your hair without overcomplicating your routine. It’s all about playing with layers and styling products to create that perfectly undone finish. Use mousse, sea salt spray, or a texturizing cream, working it in with your fingers to shape waves and add volume. Fresh, breezy, and youthful.

Claw Clip Updo

The claw clip is back from the early 2000s, and it’s a star again. For short or medium hair, simply twist your hair and secure it with a large claw clip, letting the ends fall naturally for a relaxed-chic effect. Wear it higher for a fun, youthful style, or lower for an elegant, refined finish. Leave a few loose strands at the front for that perfect face-framing touch.

Wet Look

A bold choice for anyone looking for a polished, modern style with attitude. The “just out of the shower” effect is sleek, sexy, and sophisticated. All you need is a quality gel or styling cream to comb the hair back into place. A look that works for day or night.

Half-Up Ponytail

The perfect balance between casual and chic. Ideal for short hair, this versatile style is quick and flattering. Simply gather the top section of your hair into a ponytail, and leave the rest loose. Wear it higher for a playful, relaxed look, or lower for a more sophisticated, elegant vibe.
