If you want to go short but not too short, try the shag haircut. "The shag haircut is, in a nutshell, a lob with bangs," said NYC hairstylist Devin Toth. "It's so popular right now because it adds a different, more interesting kind of geometry around the face, and not just at the bottom length of the haircut like the lob does at the collarbone." This perfectly messy hairstyle can be customised by adding or subtracting bangs and layers.
