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.

Alternative Short Straight
This is a very sassy style which can be easily re-created with a little wax and some creativity. The hair has been razor cut all over to create this full, flicked, textured 'do and the bangs have been razor cut and swept to one side to give this look a textured feel all over. This style will work best on medium to thick hair types. The Sides: have been razor cut and thinned out to give the top all the volume and the ends all the texture. The Back: has also been razor cut and thinned out to create these full, flicked out edges.
