When we think of short hairstyles, our minds usually land on all the different pixie cuts out there. But hear me out, a medium-length cut totally counts as a short hairstyle too!
Sure, it’s not a dramatic chop, but it gives you some amazing relief from heavy hair. The best part is that you still get to play with so many different styles. It’s the perfect happy medium.
