Short hair is perfect for those of us who don’t want to spend a ton of time in front of the mirror. You wake up, brush your hair, and walk out the door.

For those of you considering a shorter cut, never fear! There are easy hairstyles for short hair that you can do in just minutes. We’ve got the inspirational photos of some of the best short cuts in Hollywood to prove it!

Pull It All Back
Ciara’s slicked back bob is seriously cool. Unlike sleek, wet styles that can look dirty and grungy (we still don’t get the appeal behind that trend), this voluminous look has more of a rocker vibe to it. To recreate, just add a pomade or light-hold gel to palms and sweep the hair back.
