Formal Short Hairstyles
A formal short hairstyle can best be described as neat and tidy, structured, in place and tailored. These hairstyles could be worn to special occasions such as weddings, proms or any important exclusive nights out. They include top-heavy one length looks, sliced razor-cuts, short layered styles, pixies, crops, precision cuts, soft curls and waves.
Formal short hairstyles are still relatively quick to create, but they can require some effort depending on the hair's texture. Styling products are used to aid and assist shape and durability of the style and add extra body. Other styling aids such as Velcro rollers, hot rollers and heat appliances such as curling tongs and ceramic irons can be used to help achieve extra body and hold, and create curls or waves.
Short hair is always quick and easy to manage and generally healthier on the actual hair. A short hairstyle can be changed simply by adjusting the styling technique.

Piper Perabo Hairstyle
Piper Perabo looked like she stepped out of a scene from Star Wars when she arrived at The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the opening of the new show "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy." Her upstyle recalled Princess Laya's famous side buns- the only difference being that Piper opted for a curly look instead. Let's hope this is the last time she wears this hairdo.
