Are you searching for ways to reshape your look? We got you. A new haircut is by far one of the most visible and easy-achievable ways for a new you. Here we decided to present short messy haircuts.
In the past, short hairstyles and haircuts were associated with a boyish look. But now, short haircuts are not just for men anymore. Women rock this look and feel confident about it.
The best thing about these haircuts is that they are low-maintenance and easy to style. You can even get a messy haircut if you have curly or wavy hair.
Short Messy Haircuts
1. Two-toned Messy Haircut
Two-toned hair never looked better. Combined with a messy and short bob, this is one of those looks that are head-turners.
If you are unsure about the colors you see on this woman, ask your hairstylists to do the transition with shades similar to your base hair color.
2. Curls with a Headband
A headband is an excellent hair accessory for taming those short messy haircuts. Especially curls, they just need to be appropriately styled. If you want to make them look messier, let them air dry, but don’t forget to use special hair products for them.
3. Auburn is the New Blonde
Even though this color is connected with fall, you can wear it all year long. The hairstylists say that red and auburn shades are new blondes. Why don’t you try this shade on a short messy bob?
4. Flag Colors
If you are feeling creative enough, ask your hair colorist to color your hair in the shades of your flag. This messy haircut just got an interesting twist. A top knot is an excellent way to gather the hair and make all those colors visible.
5. Messy Volume
Bob is a fantastic hairstyle. It is versatile, suits many face shapes, and, most importantly, is low maintenance.
This bob is cut on thick hair, which only enhances the volume. Make it messy by letting it air dry and side-sweeping the parting of your hair.
6. Short and Sweet
Super short bobs look amazing when you have minimal time in the morning to get ready. The key is they don’t require styling at all. You can simply use a mousse or a foam to make it a bit messy and wavy and let the wind do the rest.
7. Pink for Spring?
The pink color is not seen so often on hair, but when we see it, it looks extraordinary. This highlighted pink bob is a bit wavy, messy, and choppy.
8. Copper Curls
There is nothing more beautiful than natural curls. These are super small and dyed in a copper shade. Keep them in shape by cutting them regularly. The messy look can be achieved by simply letting your curls be natural and voluminous.
9. Hair With Sun-Kissed Babylights
Looking natural was never easier than with babylights. Your hair will get that sun-kissed look with messy vibes. However, don’t confuse this short messy haircut with something you can’t wear to work. This is appropriate for both casual and workwear.
10. Big and Messy Waves

Braided hair means only one – low maintenance. Since braids can stay for a few days on your hair, you can be sure that they won’t require daily styling. A messy bun will get you throughout the day, whether you spend it at home or work.
22. Low Chignon
When you say chignon, it automatically means something elegant and sophisticated. However, not every low chignon bun has to be polished. The hair should be wavy and gathered in a simple bun for that messy effect.
