Short Hairstyles: What Cut Should You Get Before Prom?

Get the best short haircut for prom! If you plan on going with short hairstyles for prom, you might not know what hairstyle you should pick. After all, short hairstyles are quite daring—and not everyone is ready for one. But, short hair’s less of a pain come prom night, simply because you don’t have to worry about a fancy updo and the like. However, there’s a short hairstyle for almost everyone:

1. Just Under the Ears

Add layers for volume in the back, and you have a short hairstyle that’s not only easy to play with, but is still very girly and very feminine. You can go for a sleek look or you can let your hair lay natural instead. Not to mention that if you have curly hair, you can get a cut similar to this, but skip the layers and add a part slightly to the side. Great for anyone who just wants to get up and go.

2. Pixie

Of all the short hairstyles, this one goes out of the “safe realm”. Most girls don’t have the face for it, nor are they sure that they can actually pull of this hairstyle. However, there are several ways to pull off the pixie. For one, you could have slightly longer layers in the back that you can tease and style and longer bangs in the front to give it a girly, punk edge. Or you can go for the sporty everything is short, but layered, look. The pixie cut isn’t as limited as you think.

3. Asymmetrical

Asymmetrical short hairstyles are a bit of fun—but you have to keep in mind that they take a bit more work, both before and after prom. The fun thing is that they almost always have a cute, feminine edge and that almost every girl can pull off an asymmetrical haircut. This too goes out of the safe realm—but, since these types of short cuts are so fun…well, they’re worth it.

These are three base examples of short hairstyles that you can choose from for prom—you can even mix and match them to make even better hairstyles!
