Coco Chanel once said that “a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life”. If you are ready for a change and want a new hairstyle, then this is the place to be! We have been looking through some stunning short layered hair styles and have found 43 of the best to share with you. There is a short hairstyle for everyone and all of these cuts have layers too. Layers don’t just look good, but they also give the illusion of volume and they can also give shorter hair different shapes. So, what are you waiting for?! Take a look to find your new gorgeous hairstyle!
1. Layered Pixie Cut
The first hairstyle we have to show you is a trendy pixie cut. For this style, the hair is shorter around the back and sides and longer on the top which creates a stylish layered look. The pixie also has short bangs at the front and the hair is a little textured which gives the hairstyle an edgy vibe. It is a gorgeous short cut and it will look amazing on anyone.

This style is finished off with textured waves. It is a gorgeous short cut and it will make you look sun-kissed and summery.
