Pixie Cut
Are you dreaming of a hairstyle that is not only easy to maintain but also super trendy? Then the pixie cut could become your new best friend! This short hairstyle, perfected by stars like Kristen Stewart and Michelle Williams, gives you a powerful and at the same time delicately ethereal aura. With the pixie cut, the sides and nape area are often kept very short, while the top hair can be tailored to your face shape and left a bit longer to perfectly frame your face. The pixie looks especially good on you if you have fine hair because it creates structure and volume. This haircut also works great with straight or slightly wavy hair. Take the plunge, show your face, and make a cool statement with a haircut that never goes out of style!
Bob
Are you also on the bob wavelength? Minimalistic yet ultra-chic – the bob is the perfect stage for your hair spectacle! It is so versatile: whether classically chin-length or as a cheeky clavicut, with a straight fringe or styled casually out of the face. Care tips are free – use a nourishing shampoo and protect the ends with a serum. You can quickly change up the look by incorporating smoothing balms or texture sprays. With this versatile cut, you're sure to rock any hairstyle playlist!
Bob Cut
Imagine your home transforming with the elegance and charm of the Roaring Twenties – thanks to the bob cut! This timeless style radiates extraordinary class and adds a touch of vintage combined with modern sophistication. The bob cut beautifully highlights facial contours and is incredibly low-maintenance. Instead of a guide for a houseplant, you'll find tips here for a true trendsetter among short hairstyles. It consists, like its botanical counterpart, of many small 'leaves', or strands, that drape around the face like a canopy – sometimes delicately heart-shaped, sometimes adventurously round. Just like the easy-care bob cut from the plant world, this hairstyle can be styled in no time and grows in all directions to perfectly adapt to the shape of your head. A little wax or gel is all it takes to start your day with a perfectly shaped, spherical silhouette. And the best part? This hair care guide is completely free – your path to a trendy and effortless look!

Proper Care for Different Short Hair Textures
What a feeling it is to let the wind blow through your freshly cut short hair! But short hair also needs the right care to look healthy and radiant. If you have curly or wavy short hair, moisture is crucial. Pamper your curls with moisturizing shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for curly hair to avoid frizz and keep your curls nicely defined. For fine and thin hair, volume is key. Looking for lightness and hold? Then opt for volumizing shampoo and conditioner that won't weigh your hair down. You may also use volumizing mousse or powder before styling to give your hair extra lift. Those blessed with a thick mane know that control and manageability are the goals. Lightweight oils and treatments can help tame the hair and give it a smooth texture. You shouldn't over-care for short, thick hair, otherwise it will hang heavy and lose its natural bounce.
Styling Techniques for the Most Varied Short Cuts
Styling is art! With a few simple steps, you can constantly reinvent your short cut. In a hurry and just want to add some structure? Work a little texture paste or gel into your hair with your fingers and shape the strands as needed. Love the smooth, elegant look? A flat iron – also known as a straightener – helps. With it, you can guide even the smallest strands of hair. Remember to use heat protectant to safeguard your hair. For those who enjoy playing with curls and waves: A thin curling wand can work wonders. Wrap a few strands loosely around the barrel, hold them briefly, and then release for a lively, playful touch. If you're going for something a bit edgier, grab some wax or pomade. These are perfect for highlighting certain areas or giving the whole look a slightly messy vibe – for a touch of punk in your everyday life.
Frequency and Tips for Visiting the Hairdresser
The rule is simple: Short hair needs shape! Therefore, a regular visit to the hairdresser is an unwritten rule for anyone with short hairstyles. Depending on how fast your hair grows, you should schedule an appointment every 4 to 6 weeks to keep your cut fresh and in shape. Before you place yourself in the hands of your hairdresser, consider whether you'd like to try something new or just need a trim. Inspirational images help you and your hairdresser communicate the exact idea of your desired look. Another tip: Be open about your daily routine. The perfect cut fits your lifestyle and styling effort. Your hairdresser will be able to advise you accordingly, so you can achieve your look at home with minimal effort. Remember that it's normal for freshly cut hair to feel a bit strange initially. Give yourself and your hair a few days to get used to each other, and you'll see how your new cut becomes part of your personality.
