Best Short Hairstyles for Every Age

Short and slightly disheveled styles are hot this spring and are perfect for women who don't have tons of time to style. Bringing the length up also makes hair seem thicker, so cropped cuts are ideal for fine hair. To prevent your newfound fullness from deflating, "don't load on heavy silicone serums," warns Normant.

"Sharon Stone's cut looks best on someone whose hair is a strong color," notes Normant. Coloring hair also helps it hold a style, which is crucial with short, razored cuts. Pantene Pro-V Texturize! Sculpting Wax ($3.99) gives hair separation, so it takes on a fashion-forward vibe, not a tomboyish one.

Ellen Barkin's bob is flattering for most women and is a great way to keep your hair short without looking ordinary. "The ends are thinned out, which makes it modern and gives it movement," explains Normant. Before blow-drying, spritz John Frieda Full-Blown Blonde volumizing spray ($5.50) onto roots.

Shorter cuts that are styled up and away, like Carolina Herrera's, have a lifting effect on your entire face. "To keep every strand going in the right direction, spray a bit of hairspray onto a clean mascara wand and use it to comb flyaways," instructs Townsend. Try Herbal Essences Set Me Up Extra Hold Hairspray ($2.99).

If your hair is getting thinner, a face-framing style works best. "A bob with bangs is classic, chic, and ideal for thin hair," notes Townsend.

Feathering across your forehead softens features. "But in order to look really polished, you need a great colorist," explains Normant.
