Alternative Short Hairstyles
Alternative short hairstyles are unusual, daring, bright, fun, avante-garde, geometric and exaggerated hairstyles that are above the jawline in length.
Anything goes really with alternative short hairstyles but that doesn't mean you should attempt to create a alternative short hairstyle yourself. Even if you're going for something a little crazy and out there, it's a good idea to consult your hairstylist first.
Alternative hairstyles are a great way to feel a little more daring and creative. An alternative short hairstyle will generally be a little easier to manage and style... but remember: if you're going from long to short it's going to be a more drastic change.

This funky style is not for the faint hearted. Asymmetrical lines give it some edge and texture, and it's easily styled with a little wax or molding gum. The back is wispy cut right down to the nape of the neck for a stunning finish. The sides are wispy cut too- but close to the face- and the length's left just a little bit longer.
