Not every girl dares to have her long locks chopped off, but actually some girls look much better with short haircuts than with long hair. Check pictures of Coco Rocha and Carey Mulligan, for example. It’s obvious that short haircuts make them brighter and chicer. If you think of a shorter length, but feel uncertain about extremely short haircuts, you may begin from short-to-medium bobs, like those of Vanessa Hudgens, Lily Collins, Sasha Luss, Naomi Watts, etc. (see the pictures below). We have prepared a selection of 50 haircuts and hairstyles for girls of different ages. This time short girl’s hair is in the spotlight.

Short Hairstyles and Haircuts for Girls

Short hair is easy to style, and it’s always associated with an active lifestyle. An opinion that with short hair you’ll have to wear the same hairstyle every day is just a myth. Most short haircuts can be easily transformed from day time casual ‘dos into stylish evening hairstyles. Looking sweet and girly with short hair is not only possible, it’s easy. Let’s see the best ideas for girls of all ages – from 3 year to 13 and 15 year old ones. Every girl has to look great despite the age, if she is a little princess, a teenager or almost an adult!

1. Short and Sweet Pixie

Intricate braids and buns can be fun, but no-nonsense girls will benefit from this cute short style. Short hairstyles for girls can be coifed to the side for a cool fashionable flair. This cut will work equally well both for any on-the-go toddler and for 9 year olds, for example.

2. Short Cuts for Wavy Hair

If your little girl has naturally thick hair that leans on the wavy side of life, try kids short haircuts with angles which feature a slightly longer length on the side. Add in some bangs to soften the style also.

3. A Modern Short Cut

Sleek and straight, girls short hairstyles are sometimes inspired by the emo vibe exemplified by big sister. This style uses blunt edges and subtle layering, so with straight hair it’s very cute and simple to maintain.

4. Vintage Bob Cut

Many of us rocked a short style like this one when we were young, and now it’s popular again with today’s little girls. Both young and teenage girls will look lovely with this layered, “bowl cut” style that leaves locks longer on top and features an undercut beneath.

5. Updo with Twists

You can give the illusion of longer hair while still sporting a short hairstyle for girls – pull it back into an updo with braids or twists and a bun. Add in a flower or a large bow to secure loose strands that try to fall out when shorter hair is worked into a classic long-hair style.

6. Cool and Creative Updo

This style is fun to wear and also fun to create! It actually makes your girl’s locks look longer than they are by using hair elastics and embellishments to bring hair up and fancy.

7. Cropped Feathered Cut for Girls

Girls who love really short hair will enjoy this style that keeps things incredibly simple to maintain. Best of all, stylists have been creating this type of pixie hairstyles for girls with short hair for generations – it never goes out of style.

8. Shorter Twists for African American Girls

Natural hair can get frizzy and unmanageable when it grows too long, which is why it’s great to have a look that doesn’t require long hair. This hairdo still incorporates twists and ponytails little girls love.

9. Punk Hair for New Generation

Left long on one side, this thin hair style features designs on the shorter side of the head. While it’s not for everyone, if your little girl likes to take a walk on the wild side, this style may be a great option when it comes to the choice of eye-catching short haircuts for girls.

10. Easy Side Braid

Cute and simple, simply French braid or twist a small side portion of the hair. Secure with a bow above the ear and you’re done! Best of all, since this hairstyle is so quick, it’s perfect for busy, active toddlers who have no interest in holding still in the name of beautiful hair.

11. Layered Mohawk

Created with carefully layered hair up top, this style can be made even edgier with an eye-catching hue like pastel pink, purple or blue. Short haircuts for little girls like this one will work well for older girls with thick hair, but actually they can be pulled off with any hair type.

12. Messy Short Hairstyle with Braid

You may find this style in a magazine pin up, as it’s very popular for those who want a no-nonsense look that’s still jam-packed with style. While it may seem odd to older generations, contemporary young people are dying their hair grey. This only adds to the uniqueness of today’s style options.

13. Cool Short Hair

At a loss as to how to style your hair? Work it out with a really short cut that includes a design into the side and spikes all over. And if you love it, remember that hairstyles for little girls can work on 18 year olds too!

14. Creative Hair Hues

Short hair can look great wavy or straight in a creatively colored style. Dye hair black and add in bleached tips or an ombre front section. It may not be what you pictured when she was a little baby girl, but now as a young woman, it is sure to look awesome.

15. Short Punk Hairstyle with Deep Side Part

Sleek, straight, choppy and taking advantage of a deep side part, this style is cut into cool layers and angles for a truly unique look. When it comes to short haircuts for girls with thicker hair, this is a pretty great one.

16. Short and Simple Bob

This is a simple and easy cut that is very natural and flattering for all face shapes. Since it’s perfect for any age, a girl can enjoy this hairstyle from preschool through high school graduation without ever growing weary of it.

17. Short Choppy Cut for Thick Hair

Forget the hassle of braids or a bun. Short haircuts for girls should be easy to maintain. Work in some very short bangs for a unique look that is pretty and self-styling. Using layers, this cut works best for thick hair.

18. Color that Counts

Taking a cue from the older set, little girls can sport a short style just as well. If you have a tween girl, she will love the idea of adding in some highlights to make hair really pop. If her hair is curly, this style can be worn both natural and straightened.

19. Beautiful Cuts for Black Hair

Black girl short hairstyles are a vast field for creativity. This hairstyle is ideal for thick hair that doesn’t like to behave. Cut very short on one side, it’s allowed to remain slightly longer on the other side with a shaven diagonal dividing line. Quick to style and lovely to wear, this is popular with African-American girls but also suitable for other ethnicities.

20. Straight Bob with Bangs

Little girl cuts are often inspired by big girl fashion. While you may not want to dye your little one’s hair platinum blonde, you can still take a cue from this sleek, straight bob that includes some fun bangs. The best part of this style is that it’s not super short, allowing for a compromise if your child prefers short hair but you still desire a more feminine look for her.
