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 is a smooth sassy style for those who want to show off their sexy manes. The contrasting colors are a great way of complementing the layers. The back and sides are also striking: the back's blunt-cut at the nape with layers graduating up to the crown; and the sides are also blunt-cut and layered to blend in with the top.
