Spring is the time of changes or renewal, and sensible female nature can’t help responding to them. So, it’s the right moment to refresh your haircut, isn’t it? So, what options do you have? You can go for a completely new style or introduce a trendy twist to your usual cut that you have been wearing for years. To consider which way to go, it won’t be superfluous to be aware of the current hair trends. Among others the runways of the biggest fashion shows presented lots of messy “bedhead” styles made on the basis of shag haircuts with rough edges. We have gathered some of the best ideas here, so, you are welcome to have a look.
They reflect a strong personality and may be opposed to feminine romantic styles with soft flowing lines and sleek textures. Rough haircuts show the other side of femininity, and that’s pretty cool that a woman can be so different just changing a haircut. Funky haircuts blend harmoniously into the modern casual style. And they do also look hot for special occasions. Cropped edges of your favorite timeless chin-length bob or long edgy bangs with a short pixie are an excellent way to look fresh, young and in trend. Sharp rich layers and playing with textures add a special ultra-modern flair that adjusts your looks for what is currently on the fashion peak.
If you stick to medium or long haircuts, there’s also a way to make them edgier and chicer accordingly. Below there are examples of edgy short haircuts, medium-length and longer cuts with shaggy outlines which you may adopt as an idea for your big spring renewal.
Blonde can be a soft, natural look, but platinum blonde always has a punchy, rock star vibe. When you’ve got exposed roots from super short hair…well, that just amps up the volume. This style also provides a great base for experiments with bright or pastel dyes.
The best edgy hairstyles push creativity to the max. This impressive look has a structural quality because of the unique cut above the ear. Her hairstylist is a master not only with scissors but with clippers too. On top of it all, those color combos are divine!
You don’t have to try funky fun colors to rock a wild look. If you want to keep a more natural color, then you need to make sure the cut has some attitude. Here, the style is created with cute side burn pieces, side bangs, and short choppy layers with some serious stacking in the back. Burgundy lips don’t hurt either!
Acid greens and yellows are just about the only colors that can still impress us in this age of rainbow hair. What could be more futuristic than acid hair? The color is especially cool with a black or gray base. Layers allow the mix-match shades to blend beautifully.
Red, burgundy, or maroon tones are a definite favorite for edgy haircuts. These versatile shades look great against a variety of skin tones. One necessary element for edgy hair is bold makeup. Short hair makes facial features stand out, so inventive makeup helps complete the edgy look.
This cute pixie cut gets a jolt of sassiness from long, sweeping side bangs. Asymmetry is a key element with short edgy cuts, and it works on just about anyone. Side bangs are up for grabs by women of any age, so if you’re looking for something new that isn’t too high maintenance, this might be it.
For a pixie cut that will have people wondering if you’re into cosplay, choose one color as your inspiration and then expand upon it with a variety of hues. Here, bubble gum pink, fuchsia, and cotton candy pink blend together in a voluminous, piecey style.
While many short edgy haircuts tend to be of the piecey, choppy variety, it’s also possible to stay sleek. For a sleek cut that’s anything but boring, choose a deep hue of purple or red and be sure to incorporate asymmetry and point cut ends. This side parted look has a few inches difference in hair length between the front and back.
If you want a short funky cut that’s easy to style, this one’s for you. Put a little mouse on naturally wavy hair and air dry. No brainer! Because the choppiness is SO important for the style, you will want to get trims at least every two months.
It seems like some girls are just born for pixie cuts (the rest of us are terrified of them). This cut is a classic staple for any girl who loves going short. The back is clean and sharp, the sideburn hair is longer in front of the ears, and the top is styled in a vaguely spiky way. Why mess with perfection?
For edgy bob haircuts that look young and modern, go for a dark to light ombre that quickly transitions between the shades (because of the short hair length). We’ve seen many versions of ombre by now, and this one is a true standout. The dark roots and platinum ends lend edge to the otherwise soft, silky bob.
As far as making a natural color look edgy instead of dull, mild highlights go a long way. On top of a multidimensional color, some pronounced texture is a must. To make these soft waves, try the straightener method—bending hair one way and then the other.
Take edgy hair all the way to the brink by channeling a classic men’s cut. Gender fluidity is modern, stylish, and chic. This undercut has some feminine elements because of how long the front pieces are, allowing for lots of adorable style options. Love it.
An edgy haircut should never make you look like you’re trying too hard. For something cute and easy, ask your stylist for an all-one length crop that skims the jaw corners and forehead. Lots of short layers and wavy texture will help give it a trendy messy look.
Wow, those colors look stunning in the sunlight! To get the look, work thin platinum blonde highlights throughout the hair and then add in all of your favorite shades. Feature the warm hues more prominently and add in the greens and purples for an unexpected surprise.
As long as we live, we’ll all be obsessed with Rihanna circa 2010. Get that gorgeous color for yourself if you dare. Short, choppy hair provides an excellent base for the color, especially when mixed with black. We’re dubbing this style “edgy glam.”
Some of the best short edgy haircuts have carelessness about them. If you love flipping your hair from side to side and aren’t the fussy type, then you should choose a haircut with plenty of movement. This cut looks great with 90s goth inspired styling for the full I-don’t-care effect.
For a short funky cut that will make you happy every morning (thus giving you the necessary inspiration to make sure your bangs are on fleek) choose a vibrant, flattering color. Burgundy with blue peek-a-boo highlights in the bangs would be an exclusive solution.
Here’s a cut that is on the longer end of the edgy spectrum. Lobs look amazing when styled with a mix of messiness and perfection. To create this bedhead style, use a salt spray or a spray designed for braiding. That will create some gritty texture.
Looking for edgy short haircuts that go beyond the typical pixie? Nothing looks wilder than super short bangs. Juxtapose those sleek bangs with wispy, choppy locks and you have a recipe for a rock-inspired look. Throw on some ripped skinny jeans and Doc Martins, and you’re good to go.
