If your style is more edgy than cute, there are some amazing new short, spikey hairstyles for women this season! The theme for 21st century hair design is veering towards unconventional and the new cutting and highlighting techniques are producing some really exciting and fresh looks.

Short shag cuts are the perfect way to show your casual and trendy approach to life. They are an excellent way to get control of thick, wiry hair and give the ultimate in wash and go hair maintenance. Shags can be styled in two very different ways, too, with the layers smooth and elegant or roughly dried to produce short spikey hairstyles for women with loads of fashion flair!

Long faces can be very effectively shortened with a contemporary side parting and a side-swept fringe covering the forehead. Keep the top fairly low and concentrate on getting some spikey volume at the sides as this will have the effect of adding width to a long or narrow face.
