As for choosing your chop, the best way to find your perfect short hairstyle is to pick a look you'd love to copy. Then, consider whether it would work on your shape face and hair type. If you're still unsure, take a picture to your hairdresser, ask them what might be possible and get their recommendations on how to tweak it to work best for you. To help get you started, we've asked the hair pro, Larry King to answer some of the most-asked short hair questions below…
What are the biggest short haircuts right now?
According to Larry, there's no one-size-fits-all answer as 2024 (like 2023) will be very much about experimenting with hairstyles that are personal and bespoke to you. “When thinking about short haircuts, there is so much variety – from the pixie cuts, to short mullets, to maybe longer at the front, shorter at the back. Think more 2000s haircuts that you saw on Winona Ryder,” he says.
Short hair in general, “is going to be big,” says Larry. “I think girls are going to really move forward into short hair. You’re seeing lots of models do it right now, you’ve seen it on the catwalks quite a lot. It gives you so much individuality and makes you stand out – its really striking.”
One style we'll be seeing more of is the shorter wolf cut, or “cub cut,” which offers a cropped rendition of it's big sis, the wolf cut. It has just as much attitude, only with a fresher, shoulder-baring length and picks up the mood of ultra choppy cuts like the shag and mullet that have been trending over the past couple of years.
We've seen the style on model's like Mia Regan who's currently channeling a throwback noughties Cameron Diaz aesthetic. “It’s all about creating the size quite short and leaving the length at the back to give it that modern feel,” says Larry. "But it also has versatility because of the fringe. It can be flattering for all face shapes, just depending on where you leave length,” he says.
