Short haircut: We will wear these short hairstyles in 2022 – our favorite is the new shag!
Short hair offers so many styling options - even if the decision to go for a short hairstyle is anything but easy when you have long hair. We show you the most beautiful hairstyles for short hair - from bobs to mushroom heads. Plus: These short hairstyles are worn by the stars!
Instagram: @taylorlashaeShort hairstyles have always been a sign of self-confidence. And even if one might think that short hairstyles have something masculine, it is often exactly the opposite. Just think of Audrey Hepburn or Jean Seeberg, both of whom looked elfish and adorable with their short hair. Women still inspire many designers and hairdressers today. However, the iconic hairstyles from back then are now being reinterpreted – and beamed into the year 2022.
If you don't want to completely dare the radical cut to the short haircut, you don't have to dare the pixie cut right away. You can start with a pageboy cut, mushroom head, or a short layered cut. They are one of the current hairstyle trends par excellence. And they too can be staged in different ways, from well-behaved to cheeky. For example, the bob can be combed strictly behind the ears, but you can also blow-dry the hairstyle with a round brush so that the hair softly caresses the face.
In general, every woman can wear short hair. Which cut suits you depends mainly on your face shape. In the following, we present various short hairstyles and show which face shape the individual short haircuts are suitable for. And a tip: Short women in particular benefit from short hairstyles, as they then appear taller.
Sure: The pixie cut is one of the classic short haircuts - just like the bob, it will experience a true revival in 2022 and can be seen on many catwalks and social media platforms. But there are many other short hairstyles that are trending in 2022. Get inspired by the current trends for short hair! Because one thing is certain: short hairstyles show character and personality. Plus: they are the perfect solution when long hair is damaged. Whatever your reason for choosing a short hairstyle, sometimes it's just time to snip off old braids.

It is a mixture of a mullet (=mullet) and a pixie. Hence m-ixie.

The name gives it away: this is a mix of a bob and a pixie. So a bob with steps.
Who does it suit?
All face shapes.
How does it walk?
The mushroom head can also be called "buzz cut" or pot cut. As the name suggests, you can theoretically simply place a pot on your head and cut around the outside. All of the hair is at one length in this cut – above the ear. There is also a cheeky short fringe.
Who does it suit?
Especially heart-shaped and oval face shapes.
How does it walk?
With the undercut, one or both sides and the back of the head are shaved off. The rest of the hair is left longer.
Who does it suit?
Depends on how long the top hair stays. With more layers and length also round faces, otherwise rather oval and narrow face shapes.
How does it walk?
The hair is cut to one length. The bangs too.
Who does it suit?
Round, oval and heart-shaped faces.
How does it walk?
With a long pixie, the top hair, in particular, stays a little longer – the rest of the hair underneath is shorter. The fringe can also be long - it reminds a little of the bob.
Who does it suit?
This pixie cut also suits women with rather narrow and oval faces. Round shapes should rather fall back on a stepped cut.
How does it walk?
The hair is shaved off with a razor. Goes to different millimeter lengths!
Who suits the style?
Women with narrow faces and asymmetrical faces.
How does it walk?
The hair is shortened to bob length and finished with layers.
Who does it suit?
Everyone - even round faces, which it makes optically narrower.
How does it walk?
The hair is cut to a length at cheekbone height. There is also a short pony.
Who suits the style?
Especially striking face shapes with pronounced cheekbones. Round, oval, and heart-shaped always works. Angular face shape wearers should resort to gently layered cuts.
Does short hair also mean less styling effort? Unfortunately not always true! Unless you shave your entire hair off, even short hair requires some styling work. Of course, washing and caring for your hair is a bit faster. However, even with short hairstyles, you often have to blow dry your hair.
These are the most beautiful styling ideas for short hair:

Either you style the pixie cut messy – blow-dry, distribute a little wax in the hair, done – or you decide on the smooth version: gel your hair and comb it into shape.
Short hairstyles are also very popular with the stars at the moment. Actress Lucy Hale, for example, switches back and forth between long pixie, bob, and long bob like a chameleon. Even some Victoria's Secret models are trending for short hair. Let yourself be inspired in our gallery, which short hairstyles are currently popular with the stars.
It is back! The pot cut that Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford made popular in the 90s. Now wearing it is none other than actress Charlize Theron, who posted her new look with the words "She's back". Hairstylist Abir Abergel, who was inspired by a photograph by Peter Lindbergh with Linda Evangelista, was responsible for the "bowl cut". "I'm always honored to be able to style such talented people," said the stylist. "And for a cut like that you need a real character like Charlize!" The numerous fans of Charlize also agree with her: around 330,000 followers liked the picture of the actress. Bella Hadid recently surprised everyone with a blonde hairstyle that was reminiscent of her sister Gigi Hadid. The 22-year-old presented herself with the new trendy hair color Dirty Blonde instead of dark hair. At the Met Gala 2019, she showed up again with a dark hairstyle - but with a short pixie. As Bella announced in her Instagram stories, she wanted to remind us of old film icons with her glitter dress and new hairstyle. Matching this, she had a wide eyeliner painted. We think the pixie suits her perfectly - and hope that this time it's not a fake. Whenever a series comes to an end, you can see it in the actors. "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke, for example, drew attention to herself with a new mini tattoo in mid-September 2018. The highlight: she had three small dragons stung on her wrist so that her "children" will always be a part of her even after the end of the last season. Even more drastic is her new hairstyle. From the long, blond mane of Queen Khaleesi to... a short hairstyle. Her comment: "I'm just thinking that Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow once had the same haircut!" That's right, and even then a new cult hairstyle was introduced that calls for a revival! Actress Nina Dobrev is known for frequently changing her hairstyle. The 29-year-old also showed up with a new hairstyle at the CFDA Awards 2018: namely, the asymmetrical short hair look. Hairstylist Chris McMillan gave Nina a step (at least in the front) that just reached the cheekbones. Most recently, the "Vampire Diaries" actress wore a wavy long bob. Whether she also parted about ten centimeters of hair at the back of her head cannot be seen exactly in the pictures by Chris McMillan. We're guessing that she just trimmed the bangs and sides and now sports a stylish layered cut up to her shoulders.
But a cliché is confirmed: After more than ten years of marriage, Jenna Dewan not only separated from "Magic Mike" actor Channing Tatum, but also from several centimeters of hair. Instead of a long mane and recently a long bob, the pretty brunette is now sporting a very short, straight bob. On Instagram, she commented on her post with the words: "Billboard Awards - it was such a fun night! Thanks for letting me be there." Will she suppress the lovesickness with that and the new haircut? Supposedly she already has enough distractions with singer and actor Nick Jonas. Commenting on her Billboard post, he said, "Yeah, that was definitely an amazing night!" That singer Selena Gomez likes to experiment with her hairstyles is no longer news. Nevertheless, her latest haircut should come as a little surprise. The pop star recently wore a bob, now she surprisingly showed up on her Instagram channel with extensions and shock: undercut! The hair is shaved short under a long, high braid. Oh dear Selena, if it doesn't take forever to grow out of this... "Fack ju Göhte" star Jella Haase had her hair cut! And not just by a few centimeters, but almost completely. At the premiere of the film "Lots of Glass", the 25-year-old actress showed up with a razor-short pixie cut. In addition, the former blonde had her hair dyed brown – which created a completely new look. Frayed short haircut and zigzag parting: This is how Gigi Hadid strutted down the New York catwalk for Tom Ford (spring/summer 2018). But did the model actually part with her long mane? Oh no. Celebrity hairstylist Orlando Pita cleverly pinned the models' hair up with lots of hairspray and bobby pins, creating a fake pixie cut. So we could also see Gigi's model friend Kendall Jenner with short hair...
She was also allowed to attend the fashion show to present Tom Ford's trends for spring-summer 2018 – including a fake pixie cut. And once again Gigi Hadid is in front of the camera for Stuart Weitzman – albeit with short hair! For a shoot of the New York label, the model presented herself with a cool pixie cut in a warm shade of dark blonde. But is the short hairstyle really real? We suspect: Gigi is wearing a wig. And once again Lucy Hale surprises us with a new adorable look. This time, the actress posted a picture of herself with a fringed pixie cut, courtesy of celebrity stylist Kristin Ess. However, the expert didn't have to use scissors for this, just a couple of hairpins. As Lucy Hale, herself commented, the short hairstyle is only temporary. To imitate the short cut, the expert first parted deeply in the middle and then pushed individual strands back. Will Lucy soon part with her bob for this hairstyle? We are excited! A look that polarizes: Lily Collins with a blunt cut and mini bangs in black at the Met Gala 2017. Don't like it? Do not worry. We're pretty sure this is just a wig and the actress will soon be walking the red carpet again with shoulder-length natural brown hair.
As soon as we got used to her platinum blonde bob, Cara Delevingne surprises us with an even more unusual hairstyle – a pastel pink pixie cut. The reason for the hairy makeover? In the film "Life in a Year", in which the main role is played by the model. She herself posted a picture of her new look – and frankly, it took some getting used to – and linked it to the film's Instagram account. By the way: Jaden Smith, who will play Cara's friend in the film, also had to lose his hair. None other than his dad Will Smith cut off his blonde dreadlocks for the role and documented everything on Facebook. And gone is the angelic hair! Gigi Hadid showed up on Instagram with a wild short hairstyle – short at the back, long at the front – and thus split her fan community. Comments range from "Nooooooooooooooo!" about "Your Long Hair Was So Beautiful!" to "I love your new style!". She herself initially commented on her picture with a dramatic scissors emoji and only added a few hours later what is actually behind the makeover – namely nothing more than an April Fool's joke. Too bad actually. We don't think the hairstyle is that bad at all... is it really you Kristen Stewart appeared at the premiere of her new movie "Personal Shopping" with cropped hair in yellow blonde. We almost didn't recognize the actress with the new look and, to be honest, we're still not sure if we like the hairy change or not. We would like at least the hair color to be at least two shades cooler. WOW! Katy Perry uploaded a picture of herself to Instagram on April 1st with a cool pixie. For a short time we considered whether it should be an April Fool's joke, but her new haircut looks so real and also totally cool, that it would be a shame if she hadn't dared the cut after all. We are eagerly awaiting the next photo...
"Mom, I finally did it!" With these words, Tyra Banks posted a picture of her new look on Instagram: Her previously long hair is short, and the bangs fall frayed on her face. We like! What an eye-catcher! Lily Collins flaunted her new short haircut at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. She styled the pixie cut with a deep side parting and undone. The actress' shoulder-length hair also looks great, but the pixie makes her pretty face shine even more. Wow! Scarlett Johansson's new short haircut looks great. The sides and back of the head are shaved, bangs and the top of the head protrude over the shaved areas and frame the actress's face. Red and short: Kristen Stewart was surprised with a new short haircut at the Chanel show in Paris. As usual, her hair is styled undone, but the lengths are several centimeters shorter than when she last appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2014.
Shailene Woodley parted her long hair back in August. But now her new, slightly shorter pixie shines in a light brown with blonde highlights. She loves the new look, but says, "Short hair is so much work compared to styling it with long hair. I wake up in the morning and my hair is sticking out in all directions like a peacock ." Will she let her hair grow back? Apparently not, as she explains, "I've always wanted to shave my hair. One day I will." Ms. Anderson with a difference: If Pamela Anderson's new pixie isn't a wig, congratulations on the new look. It's fresh, cheeky, and gives her an extra dose of style. Applause. Almost unrecognizable: Jennifer Hudson looks completely transformed with a freshly cut pixie. On Instagram, her fans celebrated the new look and confirmed it: the courage to make the makeover is worth it! It's no secret that Bonnie Strange likes to experiment with hair colors. She already wore blonde, orange, pink, and green. Now she has also dared the cut and separated from her long mane. She tweeted a picture of her platinum blonde pixie with the caption, "today's hair: short n blonde."
Pixie wears pixie. And it suits her fantastically - no wonder if you bear that name... She could have dared the step from medium-length to a short haircut earlier because the new look flatters her facial features. Glam rock: At the LA premiere of the film "Ides of March" Evan Rachel Wood showed the versatility of her short haircut. The deep side parting and wavy bangs make her look rocking. Vanessa Hudgens had to part with her long mane for her film role in "Gimme Shelter". The short hairstyle suited her well. We love Emma Watson's pixie cut. The sleek look is elegant and cool at the same time.
Halle Berry messy styled her pixie cut. It looks cheeky and draws attention to her beautiful face. We like Carey Mulligan's blonde pixie better than her brown bob. She wears it smooth with a deep side parting. Michelle Williams' light blonde pixie flatters her oval face. That looks very elegant. Hayden Panettiere divided the long bangs into highlights and gelled them back. The result: a cool look.
Victoria Beckham is known for her long mane, bob, and pixie – and she cuts a fine figure with any of these hairstyles. What we like best about her is the fringed pixie. Rihanna is a versatile chameleon. If you think you know her hairstyle, she changes her look again. The two-tone undercut from summer 2009 exudes both elegance and coolness. Rocky: Pink wears the sides very short, the hair on the top a little longer. Audrey Tautou's tousled pixie gives her something girly but also elegant.
Kess: Ginnifer Goodwin sports a cheeky pixie cut. Elegant and cheeky: Katie Holmes wears a pixie. Keira Knightly is currently sporting a bob. But the pixie also suited her incredibly well. The bangs fall fringed over her face.
Like the cut itself, hair colors are always a matter of type. You can quickly find out which hair color best suits your type in our test. Otherwise, the following applies: hair colors must always be adapted to the cut in terms of movement. So if you already had certain strands in your long hair, the hairdresser must now adjust the color to the new cut or, if necessary, re-dye it. If you don't decide on new hair color to match your new cut.
