As you say goodbye to Summer and create your back-to-school [1] checklists, you might want to consider a new hairstyle to start the year off right. After all, having a new look makes your first day even more exciting. Maybe you're hoping to kick off the Autumn season with a dramatic transformation, or perhaps you're just searching for a subtle way to trim your hair and still make a noticeable difference. Whatever the case may be, you're bound to find your new look on this list. We've pulled together some of the prettiest short cuts [2], medium-length [3] styles, and ways to wear your bangs from across the internet to inspire your back-to-school haircut. Check them out ahead.
Pixie Haircut
If you're looking to make a dramatic change before the start of the new school year, consider a pixie haircut that's sure to wow your friends.
Bob Haircut
Getting a bob haircut is one way to get rid of any dead ends you might have gotten over the Summer, and there are so many different variations. Choose from one that is blunt [4], choppy, and inverted [5] or one that is cut so short [6] that it grazes your chin.
Medium-Length Haircut
You can't go wrong with a medium-length haircut. The hairstyle is still long enough to throw into a ponytail for gym class.
Bangs
Getting face-framing bangs is one way to make a subtle yet noticeable change without touching your hair length. If you're nervous about not liking the style, we recommend getting curtain fringe [7] or wispy bangs cut straight across [8], as those looks will likely grow out in just a few weeks.
