The Boy Short Cut

• The boy cut is one of the most dramatic short haircuts for women and has been worn by several celebrities. Hair cut short in the back with a little length left at the front, it is possible to sweep the hair to one side or completely slick the hair back. Celebrities who have a pixie cut or have worn the cut in the past include Emma Watson, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Alyssa Milano and the singer Pink.
  
  

The Bob

• The bob is a short hairstyle with ends that typically lay anywhere from the ears to the chin. In particular asymmetrical bobs have become very popular, with one side of the hair left longer than the other. Classic bobs are those in which both sides are the same length, the latest haircut of Jessica Alba or Jessica Simpson being examples.
  
  

Bangs

• A short cut with bangs is best for those who wish to cover the forehead due to deep lines or just a high forehead. A bob can be very short or maintain some length. Bangs can be blunt and hang to the eyebrows or long and swept off to the side. Bangs are a great way to emphasize your eyes. Celebrities that have sported short haircuts with bangs include Paris Hilton, Rihanna, Katie Holmes and Agyness Deyn.
  
  

Layered Short Cut

• A layered short cut works well for those with fine hair who wish to add depth and volume. The short layered cut is best for individuals with straight hair; those with very thick or curly hair need to be wary as short layered cuts can make your hair look puffy. The length of the cut can vary and will depend on the individual's face shape. Some examples of celebrities who have worn the short layered haircut include Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, Victoria Beckham and Elisha Cuthbert.
