A mix between a vintage shag and a slight mullet. One of the signature parts of this haircut is its volume and layers — lots of layers. Typically, a wolf haircut will offer shorter layers at the top of the head to enhance volume and texture with longer layers in the back, resulting in a disheveled, rock-star vibe.
This is a great trick for those growing out their hair after cutting it a bit shorter than expected.
If you prefer your short hair to look edgy, try a blunt step cut or step bangs as popularised by Japanese hair salons.

Having short hair is already attention grabbing, but when you add a pop of colour, that’s when you really stand out. Take inspiration from Pony and go for a bold statement with your hairdo. Opt for either pink or violet for a more feminine touch, or you can go for blue to bring out your unique edge.
If you’re looking for a short hairdo that’s easy to style for both formal and casual occasions, this is the look for you. Here, Go Joon-hee’s rocking the classic wet look that’s a runway hit.
To achieve this look, ask your stylist to do a simple cut straight across. That way you can easily pull off any look from a sleek wet look to a half ponytail to give your hair some structure.
Dip dye was indeed all the rave back in 2015 and guess what, it’s back. But instead of the usual two-toned colours in long locks, the trend has shifted to attract those with shorter hair .
Girl’s Generation’s Taeyeon is effortless pulling off an ash grey and blue combo that goes perfectly with her skintone . P.S. if the blue is boring you after a while, you can chop it off and dye it a brand new shade once your hair grows out.
Add layers to your hair to achieve a soft layered bob . If you have long fringe, consider cutting it short to further frame your face.
If you are not a fan of the layered look, try this one-length bob for all hair types. It is a chic look has been seen on many celebrities both in Hollywood and Asia in recent years.
Not a fan of hair trends? Here’s some good news; if Anna Wintour has worn this look throughout the span of her career, you know this look is a true classic.
For those that are afraid of going for the full chop, try this hairstyle otherwise know as the Lob . It is a cross between having long hair and a bob cut. The plus side of this hair cut is that you will be able to tie up your hair and grow out your hair in no time!
This soft bob is made by gentle layers in the hair. A good hairstylist will know how much to layer off your hair depending on your hair texture and thickness for a flattering hairstyle.
For a unique touch, consider colouring your hair in two tones. Either have a lighter shade o the top half of your bob and another darker colour at the bottom or vice versa or you could try a ear loop dye job instead.
This look focuses on the layers and the longer length of a classic bob.
For those who are bold, try this bob hairstyle that shows off the slender nape of your neck. This is a great look for those who want to bring attention to their eyes.
For a edgier look, try this layered pixie cut that will give you the effortless cool girl vibe.
For a more feminine touch, try this soft layered pixie. Did you know that celebrities like Katy Perry, Michelle Williams and even our local celebrity Sheila Sim is a fan of this look?
To give your hair more volume , try this layered concave pixie look which is shorter in the back and longer in front. This helps to keep the hair off your neck especially when it is especially hot in the months of June and July.
Tighter curls will create a more voluminous look that can last longer than a short bob with looser curls. Before you subject your hair to the harsh curling chemicals, remember to care for your hair in these ways.
This hairstyle is a flattering one for all face shapes. The curls help to add volume on the crown of the head while the sides will help to accentuate your jaw line.
If you have naturally curly hair , lucky you. You won’t require a trip to the salon to curl your hair into tendrils. Simply add a texturizing spray or curl-enhancing product to emphasize your curls.
If you love experimenting with different hair colours, this is a good look to try. Simpy dip-dye the ends of your hair and you can change up the colour as and when you like without needing to commit to a new head of colour. And when you’re tired of the colour, just snip off the dip-dye portion.
The baby bangs in this look is what makes this look stand out from the crowd. Mila Kunis showed off her lob and baby bangs at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards to the surprise of her fans, and is proof that both short bangs and the lob can be combined to create a chic style statement.
This is the hair look that keeps coming back on the red carpets and on the streets of the fashion capitals of the world. With a myriad of hair colours to choose from; ash brown, chestnut and more, this hairstyle is low-maintenance and a celeb fave.

Our purpose is to help you find your next haircut, hairstyle or color that you'll love.
Short haircuts for Asian girls are hairstyles that cater to straight, black, and fine hair. If you’re looking to give your silky mane definition and exquisite body, we’re here to help you do it!
Lacking length doesn’t mean less versatility! From the classic bob to an edgy pixie – Asian hair is usually effortless to style with the use of the right products. Whether you want feminine curls, full waves, or cute bangs to go with your short haircut, the choice is all yours!
Hair specialist Akane Tachibana from LA spills the deets on what to consider when going for a short cut! “My #1 tip is to style your hair to keep the right balance. Check your face shape, neck length, and your hair thickness. Then, choose a cut that will suit these features,” she says.
“Your lifestyle and fashion are also top things to consider,” Akane adds. “When you change your hairstyle from long to short, your atmosphere will change. The clothes that you wore yesterday might not work with your new short hairstyle. My suggestion is to change your fashion style to suit your hairstyle. Or choose a hairstyle that suits your fashion.”
Surprisingly, going short will give you more freedom to style. Asian stars who ditched their long manes include Awkwafina, Lana Condor, and JuJu Chan!
To style thick hair with no movement, Akane recommends that you apply medium hold wax or pomade to wet hair. “Dry it with a dryer to give it softness and movement. It will give a nice texture to your hair,” she shares.
You’ll be surprised by the endless ways on how to cut those naturally straight strands.
Before your next hair appointment, check out these popular pictures of short haircuts for Asian girls!
A short blunt bob cut creates strong lines that can strengthen a very soft face shape. Short and blunt haircuts are amazing on asian hair because it’s naturally thick, coarse, and straight making for clean-cut and sleek hairstyles.
The best haircut for an Asian girl is a trendy short bob, coupled with choppy baby bangs. It fits all Asian girls of any age. This jaw-length french bob draws attention to the wearer’s flawless skin.
The Tomboy Cut is professional yet sporty. This cut is great for women with fine hair to create volume and fullness on top. Round brush the top back and away from the face with a root boosting mousse to get more lift at the root.
This really short layered haircut is the unspoken evidence that ladies can rock men’s cuts, as well. Stylist of Family Hair Studio from Ashmore City, Australia, did a balayage coloring technique using foils to add glowing ash, golden and platinum blonde highlights on this short haircut for thick Asian hair.
This short Asian woman hairstyle with side-swept bangs is the perfect one for Asians. This short cut on a dark hair and with subtle texture is the underrated interpretation of simple and beautiful.
If you’re wanting short hairstyles for Asian women, opt for middle part bangs arranged softly like this to open up the eye area. Perfect for any cute, artsy gal!
Achieve this short messy pixie by creating layers that would peek out of your head, recreating a graphic anime character look. Red highlights add a punk effect to the already cool style.
Frumpy styles like these are made famous by Japanese cute girls wherein thin strands are curled and arranged in a messy manner. The bed hair, complete with front bangs, makes the curly bob look fuller, adding weight and size to your whole look.
Straight hair can either make or break your whole look. For limp looking hair, layers and tapered ends work best since these give volume and texture that is much needed for your hair type.
Asian weather can be a bit fickle, so your hairstyle should fit whether you may be experiencing it. This short layered cut is the ultimate all-around hairstyle for the modern Asian girl, and you know it!
This short haircut for Asian’s square face is a genius idea to lessen the exposure of your beloved jaw. The combination of textured waves and side-parted lob goes along well with the dark-rooted brown hair color.
The best way to describe this short rounded bob is the Marylin or the Gwen. They’re both iconic women who people instantly visually know. This is a bold, sexy, and classic cut was created by cosmetologist Aivi Dang of Metairie, LA.
“The best advice I can give someone considering having this Asian short haircut would be to think about it long and hard. This is not just a hair change, this will be a lifestyle change,” says Dang.
“It’s high maintenance, it’s costly, and it can be dangerous. You should see a specialist for this kind of service. You should know the maintenance that comes along with a service like this. That includes your follow up appointments, your aftercare products, and the care that is going to being involved in your new everyday styling to maintain the integrity of this look,” she adds.
It’s a bold and beautiful look, but anything extremely eye-catching will come with extreme care.
Hair artist Jessy Jin of Vancouver, BC created this internally layered, soft inverted bob with graduation. “I like this because the internal layering really helps for hair to hug around the head and not looking too bulky. It gives a more soft and feminine look,” explains Jin.
Jin likes to prep this cut with beach wave spray (L’Oreal Pro) while it’s wet. “Blow-dry with hand in all different directions, then when the hair’s only 20% wet, I start to dry everything forward so it hugs around the neck nicely. I find if you get the right internal texturing and good cut, this cut can be styled without too much round brush blow out,” she adds.
Once you are fully dry, put a tiny bit of Deplish (L’Oreal Pro) on your hand (a dot). Rub it well so you don’t see a clump and just tousle the hair with your hand to give a nice, soft texture to it. If you need any shine, a little Ringlight Spray (L’Oreal Pro) will do!
Sometimes a little highlight can really enhance the texture and give more volume. It’s something to consider if you want short Asian hairstyles for women.
It is a neutral blonde color and textured haircut. It was created by specialist Sarah Kim of Los Angeles, CA.
“For the cut, it is a blunt haircut with textures,” explains Kim. “It still gives women enough weight overall to make a neat and sharp looking bob but also with a texture that gives the client a lot of movements.”
Kim recommends this cut for women who want to hide their big chin (it makes shade around the face frame, so it doesn’t show much of the chin).
“Usually, thin hair doesn’t get volume a lot so it is better to be short and textured to maximize its volume,” she adds.
This short cut with blunt bangs was cut by owner and hairstylist Kristinn Oli of København, DK. “There is no force here. Lay the shape, work with the bone structure, and the hair will sort the rest out,” explains Oli.
While this is a relatively low-maintenance shape, it requires getting it cut every 8-10 weeks. After that, the weight will shift and become heavy.
When styling short haircuts for women from Asia, Oli recommends you use heat protection, smoothing balm, and finishing oil when blow-drying the hair. “After that, either a low sheen spray or non-sticky wax spray, and a bit of hairspray never hurt anyone,” he adds.
This is a super cute pixie with an edgy design in the back! It was created by hair stylist Ashley Armour of New Orleans, LA. “This look is easily wearable and has low maintenance with lots of styles. I love that it is long enough to curl as well,” she explains.
This style is super low maintenance and great for women who want a big change. It’s short, but there is still enough room to play with the top of the haircut. If you’re considering short hairstyles for Asian girls like this, you’ll also save time styling your hair.
Armour recommends investing in a good styling product. “Either use a good fiber paste, dry spray wax, or some pomade. The fiber paste can help you hold it down and keep a certain style as well as the pomade. Dry spray wax will give you that edgy messy look,” she adds.
“This boyish shag has a side view silhouette and hair flow,” says barber and stylist Kosuke Hashiguchi of Hiroo, TYO. “I cut the volume while keeping the neckline along the neck. The styling is done by putting the hair on the back of the ear and showing the cut lightly,” adds Kosuke.
“I used a straightening iron, and the hair ends are slightly rounded. Then, I used hair cream to make it shiny. This cut is compatible with straight hair and loose, wavy hair,” he explains.
Try a platinum blunt cut for Asian women if you want to turn heads. Asian hairstyles can be harder to achieve depending on the exact texture, so when you find the one you’re looking for, it’s that much more satisfying. Make sure to speak to your stylist about the maintenance of this color before taking the plunge.

Not many Asian women think that a short haircut can flatter them, and often choose long cuts instead. Well, this isn’t true at all. Asian women usually have round face shapes , which means that short haircuts that elongate their features work best. Just look at Lucy Liu, Brenda Song, or Maggie Q. In this article, we will present you with some of the best short hairstyles for Asian women.
Haircare is one of the most important things when it comes to beauty. Self-confidence is closely linked to beauty and that is why we must make good decisions every time we choose a type of haircut.
Regardless of our hairstyle preferences, for long, medium or short hair, it is advisable to occasionally call a professional for a haircut. Besides the fact that after each such stage we will have a fresh and neat look, we will avoid the appearance of split ends, thinning hair or even their loss.
