2012 Short Hair Styles

Here are the 2012 short hair styles that are making waves this year. There is a lot of 1960’s and 1970’s style this year thrown in with some modern vibe to shake things up.

 

Best suited for: Short to medium-length hair

Best color suited for: All

 

In no particular order....

 

 

 

 

 

Mob bob:

Short hair gets some bounce with a LOT of volume and a little messy! Who inspired this look? Brigitte Bardot and Twiggy from their famous 60’s looks.

 

Afro Hair:

We were not surprised to see the afro back on the hair style menu! After all, fashion has turned back toward the 70’s as well. 2012 has the afro as a soft and dreamy do. You will see this style in a lot of fashion magazines and runways this year.

 

Rock Crop:

The rock crop is an updated pixie cut. The pixie cut has a lot of followers so it couldn’t just be tossed aside! The updated 2012 version is a little more androgynous and edgy.

 

Side Part:

Suitable for long, medium or long hair, the side part is the way to go for parts this season.

 

Center part:

While side part are newly hot for summer, center parts are really the “go-to” style for many women and has been revived from the 60’s and the 70’s styles. This style is really suited for most hairstyles listed here and all colors. It isn’t for just long hair anymore. You can’t go wrong with a center part.

 

Wet look:

Tie those wet locks up high, or slick them down perfectly, or let them flow free----whichever way you want it just make them have that wet-look finish!

 

Bangs and Indie Fringe:

Over the last few years, bangs have come back in style. The grungy, strong Indie take on the bangs with its blunt and messy interpretation is hot for 2012.

 

Very short with bangs:

Although, very short hair will work with any color hair, this style is more suited to dark hair. This style also looks good in any demographic. However, face shape does play a roll. If you have a small forehead you can keep the cut really short, however, for larger foreheads, keep the cut a bit longer. You may think this look has been inspired by the lead character in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and guess what? You’re right! Lisbeth Sander adds a lot of sex appeal to this short do. Don’t think this cut is all about leather and piercings though, we’ve seen it a lot on the runway and it looked elegant!
