Every new season feels like a fresh start. And with fall just around the corner, you might be thinking about making some changes to your hair. One of our favorite ways to update our look (and take some weight off) is by doing a pre-fall chop. We love a good short style—they’re always chic, frame the face nicely and give the neck some space to shine. If you’re thinking about a little snip snip, here are some trending styles for a little inspiration.

 The French Bob

Channel your Parisian alter ego with this chic style. The chin length highlights the lips and creates a stronger jawline. We love how fun and flirty it is!

The Flip with Mini Fringe

Mini fringe is our favorite way to freshen up a short style. It creates a unique look that’s so youthful and really makes the eyes pop. The key is to cut them above the eyebrows in a slightly curved shape that’s longer at the sides.

The Classic Pixie

If you’re ready to commit to REALLY short hair, this is the way to go. Contrary to what you may think, it’s actually quite complementary to many different face shapes, plus it makes doing your hair so much easier.
