2011 Short Fall Hairstyles

Short hair is such a fabulous thing. It’s a total time saver, but also very emotionally freeing. If you’re bored with longer hair or want to change up the shape of your summer ‘do, here are some up and coming styles for you to choose from.

First off, the cut is nothing without the color. Color enhances the cut in a way that nothing else can and it adds a certain level of attitude with no extra effort on your part. Fall colors are typically caramel or red, brunette with some slight lowlights, but you can also go further and enhance that cut with not just reds, but violet too. Mix them in a subtle way and you have a vibrancy like no one else around you. You’ll definitely stand out in a crowd!

One of the biggest reason we hit up our stylists for short hairstyles is that we crave something lower maintenance but still stylish. Shorter styles adopt an attitude of flirtatiousness, spunkiness and reflect an overall upbeat personality. Not everyone can pull it off, but if that suits you, go short! Try out the ultra-high lifted blonde for a while, then when you get bored with that and it’s grown out a little, try a new color. That’s the beauty of the short style. Grows out fast so you can play more without all the damage! Plus you use less product and styling time is phenomenal. Try this pixie cut if you’re truly sassy!

This cut is a bit more chic and cosmopolitan. Instead of whimsical wispy pieces, you have more of a structured look but still with great texture. You’ll definitely need to take into consideration your face shape and other features when deciding if this cut is right for you. Ask your stylist for their opinion. They care about you, but it’s in their best interest to be honest with you instead of just telling you what they think you want to hear.

If you’re the party girl but like things sleek, go for this short cut that is super short on the sides and in the back but longer on top. Your styling options increase with the extra length on top. You can pull it to one side or the other, slick it down, stand it up, curl it, flat iron it… Lots and lots of options.

Jennie Garth got rid of her customary long blonde hair and cropped it close to the hairline. It’s borderline short/medium but very sophisticated and sweet at the same time. For this event it looks to be blown out and then the ends flat ironed and pieced out a little bit with product to add just a little edge to it. The piecy bangs are the perfect addition to the front. A heavy bang would have made the look more harsh, but the soft fringe she has now keep it all very charming and touchable.

Don’t be afraid to try a new short style for the fall. You’ll be surprised how much time you save in the mornings and how trendy you’ll look.
