One of the best ways for a teen to express herself is through a stylish haircut. A variety of trendy looks are available, ranging from short to long and subtle to shocking. Celebrity hairstyles are often one of the primary influences behind a teen's desire to update her hair. Since most teenagers have busy lives, it is essential to choose a haircut that requires very little maintenance.

    Short Hair

  1. The pixie cut is a short hairdo popular among teen girls. Pixie cuts are usually layered, and the two- to three-inch strands require little maintenance. If you want a drastic cut, you can opt for a boy cut. Like the pixie cut, the boy cut requires minimal care and is an excellent way to repair damaged hair. Both styles work well for any hair texture.
  2. Medium Hair

  3. The asymmetrical bob is a fun medium-length cut. It's shorter in the back and is often layered to create an edgy look. Regular and flipped bobs are also trendy and range from chin length to shoulder length. For a choppy look, ask your stylist to cut your hair using a razor. Razor cuts add body and movement to medium-length hair.
  4. Long Hair

  5. A variety of styling options are available for long hair. Layers are the most popular and seemingly timeless haircut for lengthy locks. Both soft and edgy looks can be created with layered cuts, and the hairstyle works for straight and curly hair. Retro looks, such as the one-length '70s style are also ideal for longer hair.
  6. Boy Cuts

  7. Teenage boys can have as much fun with their haircuts as girls. Styles include classic short cuts such as military cuts and spikes. If you're looking for a fun and trendy cut inspired by the rock music scene, shaggy or longer cuts with side-swept bangs are a good choice.
  8. Considerations

  9. Always be sure of a haircut before you go under the scissors as hair takes some time to grow back. In addition, be aware of how a particular cut will look with your face. Even though you may fall in love with a celebrity's hairstyle, the cut may not be right for your bone structure. If you need help identifying your face type, consult your stylist.
