Slicked back buns and ponytails may be out of your reach if you have short hair, but sleek, combed back hair can still be achieved if your hair is above shoulder-length.

This neat, tucked back look is not only easy to achieve, but also perfect for hiding greasy hair come day three.

We’ve no doubt that The White Lotus‘ Simona Tabacaso inspired hundreds of new bobs when Season 2 aired late last year. Now known as the ‘Italian bob’, this look is all about volume from roots to tips.

With a combination of the right products and the right heat tools, this voluminous, bouncy style is surprisingly easy to achieve.

If your hair is still short but edging towards your shoulders, it’s easy to fall into a rut or start shoving it up in a messy bun or ponytail. To freshen things up, ask your hairdresser to cut in some 90s-inspired layers.

To ensure that your layers take centre stage, you’re going to need to get to grips with juggling your hairdryer and a round brush. This look is all about volume.

With the Barbie movie airing this summer, bright platinum blonde hair is set to be one of the biggest colour trends for 2023. As seen on Lily Allen, it looks incredible with a short sleek bob.

Loose waves styled away from the face are a great way to make blonde hair pop.

Undoubtedly 2023’s edgiest short hair look, the shag is proof that layers and volume really are on trend. This is another style that looks low maintenance, but actually requires a bit of behind-the-scenes work to maintain texture and lift.

While it can be easier to make a shag work in curly hair, this look is proof that it looks just as great in straight hair too.
