If you have naturally wavy hair, consider yourself lucky! Your hair benefits from having natural volume and texture while still being relatively easy to style. This is especially true when it comes to short hairstyles. Wavy hair looks great in both layered and blunt cuts and can pull off wash-and-go hairstyles with ease.

The type of short hairstyle that your wavy hair will look best in will depend on your face shape, hair density and your overall look. There are, however, some styles that generally work well across the board for all face shapes and hair types such as: the layered bob, the blunt bob, the shag cut and the pixie cut. Keep in mind- your short, wavy hairstyle will need some customized touches from your stylist as well to make it just right for your individual look.
