- Layered short hair in the back with longer layers in the front and optional bangs make the perfect pixie cut. This short hairstyle is terrific for the fall season. It was made popular by Katie Holmes, who is married to Tom Cruise. She went from having long locks and a youthful style to having a sexy, classy image with the pixie cut. A good thing to remember with this hairstyle is that keeping it up means you have to be back at the salon every 4 to 6 weeks.
- Although there are many versions of the short bob style haircut, the basic point is to keep it short and simple with subtle layers. Generally this type of bob can come in a variety of short lengths, including at the chin, ear and in between. The hairstyle should include shorter hair in the back, long subtle layers toward the front and blunt straight cut bangs. Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham and Anne Hathaway are all celebrities who pulled off this hairstyle during the fall.
- A great short hairstyle for the fall is the messy yet sexy look. This hairstyle can be used on curly hair as well as straight. For curly hair, the important thing is to make sure the stylist cuts according to the curl. The hair should be long enough to frame the face but also have cuts that add texture. This style can be achieved on straight hair with exaggerated layers. They should be bold and stand out. Hilary Swank, Cameron Diaz and Lisa Rinna have all had the messy yet sexy hairstyle.
- Short fall hairstyles will only work if you have the right kind of face. Oval faces and triangular faces with high cheekbones can pull off short looks. Those with other types of faces may want to consider fall hairstyles of longer lengths. Shaggy hairstyles that are just above the shoulder can still be considered a short hairstyle for the fall season. Jessica Alba has pulled off the shaggy, but not too short, look well with her facial features.
- Once you decide to get a short hairstyle for the fall season, decide which look will be best for you. Many websites can give you a virtual makeover after you upload a photo of yourself. This is a great way to try the look before spending any money. If you have long hair and are going to go big with a short hairstyle, consider donating the length you cut off to Locks of Love. It is a nonprofit organization that creates wigs for children who have had to undergo chemotherapy. Most hairstylists have days appointed for this organization, or you can ask for your stylist to cut your hair in a ponytail and wrap it so you can mail it to the organization.
