BOBS
Bobs are one of those classical short hairstyles that will never go out of style. There are so many ways that you can wear a bob. It’s truly not a one size fit all hairstyle.
1. Sleek Bob
The classical bob is a sleek one. It falls right on the collar bone or even slightly shorter, completely straight, with no curls, waves, or bump along the hair.
The sleekness gives the illusion that your hair is long. Besides, if your hair is on the thicker side, it will prevent the bob from lying flat on your hair. It will give body and volume to enhance your overall look

This hairstyle has several different key points that highlight the whole look. The bob is angled, which gives the illusion the hair is full of body. Also, it is streaked with blonde, more so towards the end, which is hard to get to, but the results are fabulous.

13. Platinum Low Pixie Cut:
A style loved by all but only a few can rock it. Are you of the chosen few? The platinum look pixie cut involved you going bald (well-almost). There is little hair on your hair for minimal styling. However, the results using your favorite products (gel, detangle brush, or a tail comb) are worth the time and effort. Also, if you go platinum blonde, silver or even grey, all eyes will be on you.
14. Chopped Pixie Cut
Zoe Kravitz is the queen of new hairstyles. Every new style she has tried has framed her face well, including this one. The chopped pixie haircut is a low but not to the point of baldness. There is a little length left to give the style a small volume. The length is “chopped” so that it lies in varying sizes.
That allows it to be better able to frame your face. It’s longer towards the ear to give you a slight sideburn. Also, it’s short at the top not to cover up your forehead or your eye area.
15. High Ponytail with Low Cut:
Not the typical short hairstyle, but it is a unique one to try for spring. Your hair should not pass your collar bone as beyond that is not considered short. Then, if your hair naturally has volume, you would place the top portion into a ponytail. And let it fall into the rest of the hair. You can add clip-ins or extensions for a more voluminous look so that your hair’s volume is consistent throughout.
