34 Super Cute Hairstyles & Haircuts Trending Right Now (2023)

#1: Ash Blonde Balayage

This is an ash blonde balayage on a mid-length cut. Ash blonde hair colors really complement warm skin tones. This particular hair color placement would work on many different hair types because we left the natural base color the same. It’s a very low-maintenance hair color that grows out very naturally.

Keep your hair as healthy as possible and avoid too much heat styling. This look requires a lot of highlighting that can compromise your hair. My favorite product for maintaining healthy hair is Olaplex 3 once a week. It’s also a great way to strengthen your hair prior to a salon visit.

#2: Shadow Rooted

I would describe this shadow root as soft and playful yet smooth and polished. My favorite thing about it is its simplicity and versatility. It takes about ten minutes to style and is an acceptable look for the office or a night on the town.

My tip for women considering this look is to get to know your curling iron/wand/flat iron, whatever you prefer to curl with. Pay attention to the direction you are spinning the iron (away from the face is most flattering), and practice curling just that midsection while leaving the ends out. Lastly, don’t forget to comb through those curls with your fingers and add some texture spray!

#3: Chic, Cute Layered Bob

This cute layered bob has a visible texture and the way the graduation creates a feminine head shape is gorgeous.This cut would work best on a woman who has medium to thick hair. Layering fine or curly hair could take out a little too much weight. With this cut, you’re probably going to be doing some styling every day, but hair this length really takes no time and is super versatile. If you want your neck to look longer and your beautiful cheekbones to be exposed, this might be perfect for you.

#4: Long to Short Layers

This is a long-layered haircut with shorter layers in the front to frame the face. My favorite thing about haircuts for women like this is the layers in the front because they accentuate her face shape and show off her natural color and shine.

This layered haircut and style would look best on anyone with a more round face to make their face appear longer. This cut would be perfect for clients with straight hair who don’t want to spend much time on their hair in the morning because they can quickly pass a flat iron or curling iron in the front face frame section to give it a quick style or just wake up and go!

#5: Long & Sleek Cute Hair

This is a longer, sleek style with full bangs. Hairstyles with bangs are on trend right now because it is a great option to frame the face and emphasize the eyes.The key product for recreating this style would be a good smoothing serum to tame the strands and add extra shine.

This style is perfect for someone with straight hair with a little weight to it. It is super easy to maintain and really versatile in regard to styling.You will definitely want to come into the salon every six to eight weeks for trims to keep this style looking polished and healthy.

#6: Cute Layered Pixie

Opt for a cute layered pixie cut.For cute hairstyles for girls, the pixie haircut is definitely a prime choice if you have the right facial features to match. The fringe ties the entire look together. I cut her fringe using a freehand technique that promoted movement toward her right side by slide-cutting her hair from short to long.

I used the texture styling cream by the No. 4 product line. A matte finish texture cream with a subtle hold will help create separation within the individual hair strands to create a soft, feminine finish.The type of woman this haircut suits best is one who wants to wear their haircut as a style rather than focus on styling tools and products (round brushes, curling irons, and hairsprays) to create their look.

#7: Modern Bombshell with Textured Layers

I like to think of this as a modern bombshell layered cut with side bangs. This look is cut with sexy layers for volume and movement, with medium-length bangs that frame the face. I love how it flatters most face shapes.

The best products to use would be a blowout balm like Super Shine or Imperial Blow Out from Oribe for shine, hold, and heat protection. After round brushing for some curve, I ran Brilliantine from Bumble and bumble through the dry ends to break things up and piece it out a bit.This cut literally works on any face shape because the layers around the face can be adjusted to different lengths to flatter different face shapes. Medium to thick texture is best for this layered cut.

#8: Sophisticated and Adorable Bob

This is a classic cute wavy bob with a sophisticated edge. This chin-length, sweeping bob cut has a very soft, shattered undercut at the nape to collapse the hair on top. There are so many cute bobs to choose from and adding the right styling can make a huge difference.

This chin-length bob is best for women who like low maintenance and lived-in texture. It’s best for oval or heart-shaped face shapes because it adds strength to the jaw with the square lines. Easy-maintenance haircuts for women like this are so versatile that a trendy blogger could wear it with beachy waves, or a powerful businesswoman could wear is smoothed out and sleek to meetings.

#9: Beautiful Waves

These beautiful waves on amedium haircut with bangs are super on-trend right now.Two major components to creating this look are a bond builder additive and Pulp Riot Hair Color. To maintain this look, I’d use a professional shampoo and conditioner. I really love the Awapuhi Wild Ginger line by Paul Mitchell.

#10: Perfectly Blended Asymmetrical Pixie

This is a heavily textured asymmetrical pixie with a side-swept, short-to-long fringe. The back is graduated into a “V” shape. My favorite thing about it is the texture and the fringe! I love feathered hair.

Straight or wavy hair would work best for short haircuts like this. If you have curly hair, it’s possible to recreate, but would require straightening daily. Medium to high density is required for this look, and a medium to light or dimensional color will help showcase the texture. Besides a little time styling in the morning with the right products, it would be an easy-to-manage style for any lady.

#11: Sweet and Classy

This sweet and classy look is a mid-length haircut with bangs. Bangs can be tricky and high maintenance! But if you’re up for the challenge, they can really compliment and tie a look together so beautifully. Bangs are perfect if you like to have face framing, want to add some soft wispiness to your look, or even some edge.

I highly recommend using a blow dryer with bangs like these. Sometimes, I will let them air dry first, and then hit them quickly with the blow dryer just to add some movement. I don’t always use a round brush, but if you’re needing to manipulate your bangs to go in a certain direction (or away from a certain direction), you might need to try one.

#12: Cute, Textured Bob

This blunt bob is both edgy and versatile. The best thing about shorter hair like this is that it’s so easy to style!Use Badlands by R+Co for volume and texture when styling this messy bob.This cut and style are definitely for women who want a little edge to their look, as well as women who are confident with short hair. Different hair types would work with this look, it would just need to be styled differently.If you’re cutting off a lot of length, wait two weeks to be sure, then if you still want it, go for it!

#13: Icy Queen Braids

“This is a total “ice queen” look with those cute braids,” says style creator and specialist Jenna Herbert.

For products, Herbert recommends Schwarzkopf Extra Power Lightener with 30 volume. “I used Fiberplex Bond Builder in my lightener, shampooed with Fanola No Yellow shampoo, toned with Schwarzkopf vibrance 9-1 and 9.5-1 with 1.9% developer, and finished with the Fiberplex #2,” she explains.

Herbert always gets her bleach-out clients to come in on a four to seven-week appointment schedule, depending on how fast their hair grows as well as how dark their natural color is. “If they come in too early, you risk overlapping and breakage. If they wait too long, you will likely end up with banding as the hair closest to the root will lift faster,” she adds.

#14: Cute Hairstyles: The Icy Blunt Bob

This is an icy tone on a precision blunt haircut with straight bangs. If you are looking for a cute hairstyle with unique color, this is definitely a fine selection because it’s also very flattering. The right color combination definitely can create cute hair.Invest in good products and be patient. Always use a bond builder such as Olaplex. The most important thing is to listen to your stylist. It’s so important not to rush this service!

#15: Peek-a-Boo Bob with Vibrant Hair Color

For women who want a bit of an edge, try a peek-a-boo bob with a vibrant hair color with a classic blunt French bob. Consider a color to compliment skin tone and as well as adding contrast to the dominating hair color. Yellow and gray is a great combination.

#16: Cute and Chic Asymmetrical Pixie Bob

The length is slightly disconnected to maintain length through the back, keeping a soft feathery texture.

#19: Sliced Bob Haircut with Shorter Layers

#20: Sweet Bob Cut for Girls

A tousled lob haircut is perfect for fine hair as it creates a fuller look while also keeping face-framing pieces. Tousled lobs need to incorporate strong layers and look best on heart-shaped faces.

#22: Fun Textured Cute Medium Bob

This fun textured, medium-length, cute bob haircut was created by stylist Casey Bailey. “My favorite thing about it is the versatility. This bob can be worn straight, curled, up or down, and always looks good! Shorter bob hairstyles are adorable on little girls to older women,” says Bailey.

These types of cute haircuts and hairstyles definitely work best on the more adventurous and creative types, and those that aren’t afraid of the extra attention that comes with having fun colored hair! Bailey feels that almost any face shape can pull off this bob, “but I personally like the blunter, straight-edged cut with my round face to balance it out.”

Her best tip for someone considering cute hairstyles for short hair is to not be afraid of trying one, it’s just hair! If you’ve always wanted to try it, then just go for it.

#23: Cute Undercut Pixie Hair

The best hairstyle for cute cuts is the undercut pixie. This disconnected undercut cute pixie haircuthassides that are super short and disconnected from the long fringe.

#24: Modern Cute Shag

Thismodern shagis ashoulder length cut that looks good on anyone! It’s a sexy, lived-in, tousled look that anyone can rock.

On straight/wavy hairstyles, use a salt spray like Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray or R +Co Chiffon Styling Mousse. Put in the hair when it’s wet, twist hair in sections, then let it air dry or dry with a blow dryer on low so it creates a textured look.

For very wavy/curly hair, use Bumble and Bumble Don’t Blow Out. It is a little heavier cream. Twist hair in sections to create waves so that when it drys it looks messy beachy waves. Oribe Texture Spray is a MUST! I spray it in hair once it’s dry to create texture.

Her best tip when wearing textured haircuts is to not over-style! You don’t want this to look too “done”.

#25: Long Modern Shag

This is a modern version of the “shag” cut for women with long hair, but with a little more shape and style.I love it because it looks edgier, but also keeps the ladies comfortable by keeping the length, and trying some sort of bangs that can be easily grown out. If anyone is considering bangs, this cut is a great intro for them. Curtain bangs and shag really go well together.

This shaggy haircut with waves is great for every hair texture and face shape!

When getting this cut, stay open minded to your stylist’s suggestions. It’s a customizable cut, so sometimes a stylist needs to tweak certain parts of the cut and style to make it more fitting for their specific needs.

#26: Cute & Easy

This soft but bold style with a mature twist was handcrafted by stylist Marcella Rizzuto of Winnipeg, Manitoba. “My favorite thing about this look is how multidimensional it is. One day it can be styled more textured and fun, and the next day sleek and straight,” says Rizzuto.

For this specific textured look, Rizzuto highly recommends using a salt spray. “I use Rockaway Salt Spray from R+Co hair. You don’t need much of it and it gives you that beachy grit you need without going crunchy. Throw it in wet first.”

“This style would work best for someone with medium to fine hair. There are no layers with this length, so it helps someone with finer hair look fuller! You can have some natural wave, but a lot of curls will take more time, so make sure you’re ready for that commitment if you do have those waves. If your hair is too thick, this is going to take a lot of styling time and it will be harder to achieve that “effortless” look,” she explains.

#27: Layered Shag

This is a vintage-inspired, riot girl, grungy blonde shag with choppy ends.I worked against the growth patterns for 60% of the blow dry to neutralize growth patterns and give it extra body, then blow-dried it into the end shape. I finished with Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste to bring out the texture of the cut and give the hair a natural bedhead, lived-in texture. You could also put in a texture cream and let this air dry.

As far as the cut goes, this is ideal for fine to medium hair with a wavy to straight texture because it will lay right with minimal styling, but could be modified to fit a variety of hair types. It could also be fantastic on curlier hair if it’s not too dense. This type of style is low-maintenance and can work on a variety of face shapes.

#28: Color Splash!

This asymmetrical stacked a-line bob was created by hairstylist Christine Conklin of Sacramento, CA.

To manage this Conklin would recommend a blow-dry lotion like Bumble & bumble’s Repair Blow Dry. “For finer hair or for those that are going the other way and trying to add volume, B&B’s All Style Blow Dry will work wonders while also providing the necessary control for this look,” she explains.

This cut can be done with all hair types, however, the ideal candidate would be someone with medium thickness and straight to slightly wavy texture.

Conklin also says, “make sure the cut is properly done and blended. Don’t be afraid to cut the back short and go for a very dramatic angle in the front. Also, wherever you decide to put the accent color panel, be sure that it will enhance the shape of the cut and not distract from the beautiful lines. Use diagonal slices when foiling so that the colors blend together instead of laying in stripes.”

#29: Cute Braid Dimensions

These cute braid dimensions were created by hairstylist Grace of Whittier, CA.

To create this look, Grace recommends using a lower volume developer with your favorite bond builder/multiplier. “I used 30 volume developer with Wella Blondor lightener and b3 Brazilian Bond Builder. I did not have to tone her hair because we wanted to embrace her warmer tones.”

“This look is best suited for somebody who wants a low maintenance hair color and has fair to medium light skin tones,” she adds.

#30: Lob with Cute Short Bangs

The apotheosis of edginess: blunt bob on fiery orange hair. This lob haircut looks great with a micro fringe, perfect for ladies with an oval face shape.

#31: Long Side Ponytail

This subtle, loose side style was created by hairstylist Carmen Tasovac of South Australia. “I think when we use the words side pony we immediately imagine the side pony, back in the 80s,” says Tasovac.

These days we are all about new and improved styles, and the side pony is definitely making a slow comeback but in a much more subtle and loose way.

Tasovac’s favorite thing about this style is that it’s very versatile and fun! “I also love that’s it’s a reborn 80’s style that I can recreate in a modern way!”

“I look at and feel their hair type, as this is a tricky style that may not always suit all face shapes and hair textures,” she ads.

#32: Long Long Layers

These long long layers were created by stylist Jessica Thorne of New Jersey. “This look is flirtatious and fun and for someone who loves a healthy bounce to their hair without the use of styling tools and added beach waves,” says Thorne. “This voluminous cut is also for someone who can handle the attention and upkeep of having gorgeous hair.”

Thorne says you have to be willing to put in the work for the outcome you want. “A lot of women want to “wake up like this” and don’t want to put forth the effort in making it a reality,” she adds. “If you’re a wash and go kind of girl with a hectic schedule, this style might not be for you.”

Consultation is key. This style is for women with fuller hair, as too many layers can make finer hair too stringy. “I like to add strength to the perimeter of people with finer hair, as it gives them a fuller look,” she explains.

#33: Boho Vibe Cute Ponytail

This romantic and effortless cute ponytail was created by hairstylist Sara Rose of Norwalk, CT. “It’s easy to recreate and even gives a boho vibe! I love the loose and almost undone look about it,” says Rose.

For this cute haircut, Rose used and recommends some clip-in extensions. “When you have highlighted, balayaged or multi-toned hair, I recommend alternating between light and dark extension pieces to keep it looking natural and consistent throughout the braid. To prep for the extension to last all night, I’ll tease and spritz on the Resin Spray from Big Sexy Hair. It works like magic to create a strong base for the clip to slip into and hold all night long,” she explains.

After you put your extensions in, Rose says to lightly spritz each section with a workable hairspray. “Making sure to curl the extension with your hair to help them blend together. Then you braid and make sure to pull it apart as you go to keep the look loose. Finish by spraying all over with a good strong hold finishing spray.”

If you’re using extensions, make sure to build a good stop base for the clips to sit in. It makes everything so much easier knowing the hair isn’t going anywhere. Also, whether you’re wearing extensions or not, make sure to pull the braid apart to loosen it a little. It makes the braid look bigger, fuller and more effortless.

#34: Sophisticated Unicorn Hairstyle

This sophisticated unicorn cute hairstyle was created by stylist and colorist David Solis of San Antonio, TX. “This is for the woman that wants to have a little fun with their hair without going too crazy.”

Solis thinks this cut and color is versatile and can be worn by many face types and skin tones. It is definitely for the girl that likes to stand out without having to scream, look at me!”
