50 Stylish Haircuts & Hairstyles for Teenage Girls

 

For those edgy teenage girls who want to make a rebellious statement, brightly colored hair or looks with interesting angles and shaved sides are just what you need. Girls who love natural-looking hair that can be worn to various occasions, including school and formal events, will be drawn to dreamy waves and braids. When it comes to color, you can either go bold with statement highlights or colorful shades; or try out balayage techniques to lighten your hair in a subtle but oh-so-pretty way. These are the best haircuts for teenage girls, and you may want to book a salon appointment as soon as possible.

 

1. Asymmetrical Hairstyle

The asymmetrical hairstyle is defined by its unusual angles and is shorter on one side than the other. It has a very edgy and even rebellious appearance and lends itself well to various hair lengths but arguably works best with shorter and thicker hair. The layers draw attention to the jawline and eyes and can be incredibly flattering and even youthful. While this is not a look that just anyone can pull off, those daring enough can have fun with the hairstyle. It can be adapted to suit your preference, whether with a few bright streaks or subtle highlights.

 

 

2. 3A Curls

If you are blessed with luscious curls and wondering how to style them, the good news is that curly hair is incredibly versatile. 3A curls refer to springy curls with an S-shape pattern and a lot of volume and movement. They make for a gorgeous look when left loose but can also be styled in a half up half down hairstyle if you want a more polished finish. The only drawback of this hair type is that it is prone to frizz, and you must ensure it is moisturized to avoid this. You can do this with regular protein treatments.

 

 

3. Blonde Beach Waves

Beach waves look gorgeous tousled and look like you’ve spent the day at the seaside. There is something very appealing about blonde beach waves, and they create a carefree and relaxed aesthetic while still being pretty and feminine. The softness of the waves can frame your face and highlight your features. To complement your hair, it is best to keep your makeup natural. Blonde hair can enhance the texture as it is brighter and more visible, and to add volume, you can use a sea salt spray.

 

 

4. Curly Bangs

Curly hair is a fantastic texture that makes even the most simple cut interesting. That said, few options are as appealing as curly bangs because they look great and can be adapted to suit various hair lengths and face shapes. Bangs can transform your face, flatter your features and draw attention to your eyes. You will need regular trims, but these bangs are generally not hard to style and are pretty low maintenance. Just remember to account for shrinkage.

 

 

5. Shag Haircut

The shag haircut is a timeless classic that has remained popular since the 70s. It is loved by style icons and musicians and is an incredibly versatile cut that can be adapted to suit various hair textures and lengths; it looks just as stylish when long as it does short and can stand out on straight or curly locks. The shag is defined by its heavily layered, choppy appearance, which can flatter your face and add volume and movement. It can also be altered slightly to suit your face shape. The cut helps achieve an edgy look and should be worn confidently.

 

 

6. Bantu Knots with Short Hair

Bantu knots are attributed to the Zulu people and have cultural and historical importance. Choosing to wear Bantu knots is an excellent choice because it is a protective style and lets you take a break from heat styling. They are created by sectioning off hair, twisting, and wrapping it to make little knots. It can be done on all hair lengths, but for a more subtle and traditional approach, you can keep them short and small. These smaller knots can be done on natural hair and must be twisted tighter, resulting in more curl definition. The result is impressive and can be worn with pride.

 

 

7. Hair Down with Twists

If you are searching for a dreamy style, then the hair down with twists look is the one for you. This simple hairstyle is easy to create and has a feminine, carefree, Boho appearance. Leaving your hair long and loose and gathering it at the sides with twists helps keep the hair out of your face and has a beautiful and artistic feel to it. This look can be achieved on various types of hair and lengths but is best on naturally textured hair, which can help you to achieve a softer look. Keep your makeup natural to complement the simplicity of the style.

 

 

8. Braided Side

Braids are a fantastic addition to any hairstyle because they are so versatile. Some braids can help achieve a dreamy and feminine appearance, while others are edgy and cool. The braided side look falls into the latter category. They start at the hairline and are most commonly created on only one side; this helps achieve an interesting contrast with the rest of your hair. The look can be adapted to your hair texture, face shape, preference, and skill level, and the result is unusual and striking.

 

 

9. Blonde 2C Waves

Blonde hair is gorgeous and can make you appear more youthful. It can also draw attention to your face and highlight your hair texture because it is bright and light. If you have 2C hair, this is considered wavy, thick, coarse, and with an S-bend. It is the perfect hair type to leave long and loose and help you achieve a glamorous appearance. Your hair may frizz easily and be hard to style, but with the right products, you can keep it looking great; curl-defining creams and styling gel will be among your must-haves. If you style your hair with an off-center part so that it falls gently around your face, this can help soften your features and can be incredibly flattering.

 

 

10. Black Hair with Crown Braid

A crown braid is one of the most romantic braided styles to choose from and is perfect for special occasions. Or if you just want to feel good about your hair. The braid can be dressed up or down and suits various hair colors and textures. You may be drawn to this pretty updo if you attend a prom. This can be achieved by plaiting your hair into a French braid, lifting them to the sides, and wrapping them around your head to create a crown appearance. You can use pins to keep it in place. The style is easier to do on hair that has not been freshly washed, and although it may look complicated, you will find it is one of the most effortless braided looks.

 

 

11. Layered Long Afro Cut

If you want a look that makes a statement, can be worn with pride, and enhances the texture of your natural hair, then a long afro cut is a perfect choice.

One of the most flattering ways to wear your hair is with a middle part, which can look especially good on those with oblong and oval faces and complement your facial features. Not everyone can pull off a middle part because it can draw attention to uneven areas on the face, but those that can will not be sorry they tried it out. It looks best on longer hair, can keep the hair out of your eyes, and highlight your face, drawing attention to the eyes and jawline.

 

 

 

13. Loose Waves

Loose waves are simple to style and incredibly gorgeous. You can create a relaxed and carefree Boho aesthetic or opt for a more sophisticated and glamorous look; regardless of your chosen approach, it will be pretty and feminine.

The bubble ponytail is one of the best trends to come out of the 80s. The hairstyle is similar to a standard ponytail but with extra hair elastics tied down the length of it, creating several small ‘bubbles.’ This look is much more fun than the regular ponytail but just as functional, keeping the hair out of your face and helping create texture.

This look is best achieved with medium to long hair length but can be worn with various hair colors. Brown hair not only looks good, but it can also make your locks appear healthier and more voluminous as it is excellent at disguising any damage; lighter hair colors will highlight dryness and frizz. Glamorous curls are the perfect hairstyle for more formal occasions, including school dances or attending a wedding.

The middle part is one of the most sought-after ways to wear your hair because it can keep it out of your face but also frames it, drawing attention to your features. The parting can be achieved on different hair types and lengths but works exceptionally well with straight hair. At the same time, a side part looks fantastic on wavy or curly hair. It is low maintenance and can help achieve a sleek and fashion-forward appearance. That said, this parting doesn’t work on all face shapes and is best for those with symmetrical features. It can also make your face look thinner. You could benefit from heat styling and a frizz serum to keep your hair looking smooth.

 

 

20. Hair Down with Side Braid

Leaving your hair down with a side braid can be an edgy and cool style. Or it can create a soft, Boho-inspired appearance.

33. Middle Part Curly Medium Length Hair

Medium-length hair is the best of both worlds; it is not so long that you have to worry about tangles and dryness for your curls, but it is long enough that you have the variety for styling, and it can be worn up or down. When finding the perfect way to wear it, consider a middle parting. A middle parting can look harsh on some faces, but the curly texture makes it less dramatic and softer.

Unfortunately, the color will fade fast, and if you don’t have light hair, you must bleach it before dying. The lob haircut is versatile and pretty, allowing you to style it up or down.
