15 Short Hair Cuts That Scream CHIC (Not MOM)!
“Mom hair” is a term that has many different meanings — typically swirling around “frumpy,” “dated” or “boring.” Many new moms want to chop off their long pregnancy hair for something easier to maintain (less to wash, less to blow dry, less for baby to pull), yet are scared of crossing over into “mom hair” territory. The type of short hair style that instantly adds 5 years and a minivan.
So if you’re craving a shorter hair cut, here are 15 chic looks that are as stylish as they are functional:
(Keep in mind your specific hair type, face shape and maintenance tolerability, like styling products, blow drying, etc.)
-
Wavy Chop
If you have naturally wavy hair, here's a low-maintenance look. If you have naturally straight hair, you'll need some texturizing spray and volumizer.
-
Short and Curly
It will take a bit of styling to get these polished curls, but this cut can be worn both straight or curly.
-
Sexy Bedhead
Hair bob + curling iron = sexy tousled look.
-
Street Style Pixie
It's hard to judge low-maintenance hair styles on perfectly styled celebrities, so here's a street style shot of an ordinary woman with a super cute pixie cut.
-
Shorter, But Not Too Short
If you can't part with your long feminine locks, this length is a good compromise.
-
Professional Pixie
Here's another shot of an adorable pixie cut, but this time from a professional photo shoot. Delicate, symmetrical features (like Emma Watson's) are typically needed to pull off this look.
-
Sophisticated Style
This woman looks like she can juggle play dates, conference calls and lunch meetings without messing up her blown-out bob.
-
Choppy Bob
Kristin Cavallari's youthful bob is perfect for those with medium-thick straight hair.
-
Wash-and-go Bob
Works better on those with thinner hair.
-
Sleek Bob
You'll probably need to run a hair straightener over your sleek hair, but it's a lot less hair to straighten.
-
Banged Bob
Here's another example of a sleek bob, but with full bangs for extra style.
-
Longer Pixie
The same delicate look of a pixie cut with a little more length to work with.
-
Edgier Bob
Razoring the ends will give an edgier look.
-
Soft and Feminine
If you have fine hair texture, this cut has all the femininity of long, layered hair.
-
The Shab
As in part shag, part bob - which is how Diana Agron (of Glee) describes her hair to Cosmo magazine. Apparently she uses a little volume mousse and dry shampoo before letting it air dry. (Easy!)

I like the Choppy Bob, Michelle. I think you would look great! It’s chic! Just like you!!!!
MY Favorite is the banged bob.
Just out of curiosity, how many of these people are moms because…
Erica, most of them are models or celebrities. It’s just the hair cuts, not the people.
I was going to say, they’re all super thin (not that some moms aren’t), the cuts are great but I’ve found it hard to pull off a cut like this with a less than swanlike neck or fine bone structure. I do <3 the cuts though.
Very cute, but where are the options for women with curly hair??
I love these cuts, but as a mom of infant twins (who both LOVE to pull hair) with a short bob, people should beware of the cuts shown here. Most of them will require more styling, time and product, than a simple long cut. With long hair, there is always a ponytail option, with short, if it looks undone, it can REALLY look undone. Basically, be sure to warn your stylist if you’re not going to have time to put into blowing it out every day, to make sure you get a “wash and wear” cut.
I love all the hairstyles. But Ii also missed options for curly hair…
Hi,
I am Alisha Anderson.
I have found your site not so long ago, but try to read every new article as i see your
site as one of those interesting places online (it’s not such an usual case nowadays).
This week i had an interesting discussion about (http://blogs.babble.com/family-style/2011/08/22/15-short-hair-cuts-that-scream-chic-not-mom/) with my colleagues and i’m
going to write about it. Your site looks a perfect place for an article on this topic.
So if you would like that, it would be great if you could post it on your site.
And that’s absolutely free of cause.
Let me know here anderson.alisha8@gmail.com if you are interested.
Regards
Alisha Anderson
Agree with Sarah. Some of these shorter cuts take a lot of time. You can find a quote of katie Holmes saying that her hair only looked like that once ( bob with bangs) after some major styling. Long(er) hair is just easier to throw back if you have to. Styling goes a long way and any cute short cut is just 3 days away from being a frazzled mom do.
