Hair is a beautiful thing. It allows us to express who we are without saying a word. 2022 is the best year for hair yet. We get to experiment, try new things, and figure out the kind of styles we like without judgment from others.
If you are considering getting a chop and going with a shorter hairstyle than you currently have, you are in the right place, my friend. I have created the master list of trendy short hairstyles for teens that will blow you away.
You can look through these to figure out more about your personal style and what you will be going for with this cut.
It is a big decision, so make sure you have a few choices. Bring these photos with you to your haircut appointment and ask your hairstylist’s advice on which might be the best option for you. Things like maintenance, face shape, and longevity all play in here, so give it a thought. But first… let’s look at some haircuts!
Buzzcut Hairstyles
I figured we would start out with the shortest hairstyles and slowly grow it out together. Buzzed hairstyles are IN for men and women. Honestly, a girl who rocks a buzzcut is basically confidence personified. There are so many ways that you can customize and personalize this style, and I have even made a list of these at the very end of the article.
Take a look and prepare to have your mind blown.

Adorable Pixie Hairstyles
The next stop along the hairstyle train is a pixie cut! A pixie cut is a grown-out version of a buzzcut. Since there is more hair, there is more opportunity for shaping and styling, so below, you will see some of the best variations. You can change anything you don’t like by just expressing it to your hairstylist.
Most of the time, pixies do require some maintenance. So keep that in mind.

Most of these hairstyles are bobs, which are essentially hairstyles with lengths that are close to the chin. They are pretty short, and I am obsessed with them. Though some require styling, many you can just leave natural as long as your hair’s natural texture goes with it.
You can ask your hairstylist about these things once you are in the chair. So take a look and make notes.

So, did you find a hairstyle that you loved? I bet you did! 2022 is the prime year for trying new things and finding new ways to express yourself. Hair is one of the best ways to do that. The best part is if you hate it…it always grows back.
There are so many other things you can do to show your personality through your hair without cutting it. Whether that be with styling, braiding, or dying it, you have options. The most important thing here is that you are having fun and that you are feeling confident. Hair can really make or break that. So if you have been dealing with a hairstyle that just doesn’t suit who you are…go for the chop!
