Ever get the urge to chop your hair off? Given the popularity of short hairstyles, you’re in good company. According to Google search data, “short hairstyles” is one of the most searched-for beauty trends around the world.

“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life,” Coco Chanel once said. And she was absolutely right. Shearing away excess layers and swapping long, heavy hair for something that feels freer and more lightweight is oh-so-satisfying. Whether you’re going for a soft, short style like a choppy pixie crop or just want to elevate your bob a few inches to lobe length, cutting everything off can feel utterly liberating. Even better, it can free you from laborious styling and blow-drying.

Let’s get one thing out of the way right away: Contrary to popular belief, a cropped look is actually more universally flattering. Long hair is not the most feminine or flattering look for everyone, that’s just an old-fashioned myth. And the latest trendy short hairstyles could be your shortcut to a younger look! Almost any facial shape looks fantastic with short hair. It can draw attention to your facial features and give heavier hair types depth and volume.

The current mood comes off the back of ultra-choppy cuts like the shag and mullet trending over the past couple of years. Now, hairdressers are noticing their clients wanting to take those cuts shorter, with cropped wolf cuts. Luckily, a ton of shorter hairstyles are currently in style, like the shaggy bob, bottleneck bob, cool buzzcuts, and traditional pixie crops. You could dip your toe in with a slightly longer length chop, such as a lob or short collarbone bob.
