Q&A with style creator, Jocelyn Cool
Senior Stylist @ Cloud 9 Salon Spa in Tempe, AZ
What’s great about this?
A natural brunette short haircut with highlights creates blended dimensional color.
Having the highlights blended is lower maintenance than the traditional highlights. It’s a style/color for the gals who do not want to be in the salon as often.
This highlighted short hair is a classic bob that’s perfect for a woman of any age.
What’s your best advice?
Some women think short haircuts with highlights are easier to manage. Perhaps that’s the case for some, but short highlighted hair does take more effort into styling. The natural dimensional highlight looks like it’s a very low maintenance hair color. Still, you should get into the salon every 8 to 12 weeks to get the highlights touched up.
Layered Short Hair with Red Highlights

Ryan Thormo – Hair Colorist, and Lenny DeNovellis – Owner & Stylist
@ Finale Hair Salon in East Setauket, NY
What’s great about this?
The color placement on this short layered hair with red highlights gives so much dimension to the haircut.
This was done using balayage highlights instead of using a traditional foil technique because you can have panels of red without looking too stripey at the root. Plus, it makes it look more appealing as it grows out.
A dark canvas will really show off the vibrancy of the red highlights.
What’s your best advice?
When considering highlights for short hair, the first and most important thing is to consider the integrity of your hair and make sure it is healthy enough to highlight. After any highlighting service, use a moisturizing conditioner or mask to prevent breakage.
Schedule an upkeep appointment every 4 weeks to glaze the red and prevent fading. In between salon visits, home care is very important.
Use a sulfate free shampoo like Gemstone Shampoo and Conditioner by R+Co since it locks the color in. Using a color depositing shampoo about once a week and always rinse the hair with cool water. This should make the color last longer and keep it looking as vibrant and rich.
Short Hair with Ash Blonde Highlights

Q&A with style creator, Joanne Dirracolo
Hairdresser @ Joanne Hair Design in Brampton, ON
What’s great about this?
It is a short graduated bob with ash blonde highlights that makes it more modern.
You can style it straight/smooth with a lot of volume at the roots, but this cut would also look amazing with some beachy waves.
What’s your best advice?
A bit of advice on short hair with highlights would be getting yourself a good round brush. You’ll alos need a volumizing product (mine is “Blow it up” by Short Sexy Hair), and a little hairspray to finish with.
Highlights with short hair looks great with or without bangs. The ash blonde highlights are great for anyone who is dealing with grey. Use a good purple shampoo to maintain the tone like Redken Colour Extend Blondage. Leave it in your hair for a few minutes, once a week. This will help keep that icy tone between salon visits.
Short Bob with Highlights and Lowlights
@caitlinryanhair
Q&A with style creator, Caitlin Sue Ryan
Stylist @ Changes Hair Design in Haslett, MI
What’s great about this?
This short bob with lowlights has quite a few elements that make it both trendy and low maintenance.
Depending on your hair texture, shorter cuts with fewer layers are typically easier to wash and go.
What’s your best advice?
A darker blonde makes a good candidate for lighter, cooler blonde tones. You can do a partial highlight and pull through a lowlight to match your natural color to add dimension.
Women looking to recreate this style should consider their hair history! Lighter blondes are often created in multiple processes if you have dark or previously colored hair. Short bobs can be very low maintenance and stylish, especially for women who can’t spend more than 10-15 minutes styling their hair.

Q&A with style creator, Maddie
Qualified Stylist @ You’re Gorgeous Hair and Beauty in Geelong, Australia
What’s great about this?
This short style is a dimensional caramel balayage highlights which have been cut into a beautiful short lob.
Hairstyles with highlights help accentuate your face, and the color adds texture through the different caramel tones within the style.
What’s your best advice?
Short hair with highlights can complement so many women! The lob can be made to suit any woman by lengthening it or adding some texture throughout.
The warmer color is more for the warmer skin tones.
Use a heat protectant and a product with a bit of hold so the wave in the hair will hold longer. Following up with a lightweight serum or cream to add shine and finish the look.
Short Hairstyle with Rose Gold Highlights
@ktdelong
Q&A with style creator, Katie Delong
Stylist @ Parlour in Cincinnati, OH
What’s great about this?
Rose gold highlights in short hair that’s dark give such a bold statement with loads of contrast.
The placement and technique will give a softer less noticeable regrowth line as it grows out resulting in longer times between appointments. This short textured cut is a breeze to style.
What’s your best advice?
You honestly can’t mess it up! A little volume mouse and a blow dryer finished with a light shine pomade and you have a perfectly tousled style.
If you are looking for a bold statement with low maintenance, short hair highlights are the way to go. The highlights will grow out seamlessly resulting in a few trips to the salon and more money in your pocket.
Go home from the salon with a custom color conditioner to keep the rosiness of the highlights.

Peekaboo Highlights on Short Hair
@amystevie84
Q&A with style creator, Stevie
Stylist @ Aim & Ailie Hair Boutique in Evanston, IL
What’s great about this?
Blue peekaboo highlights for short hair that’s naturally a copper color offers a bold juxtaposition of tones.
Copper (orange) and navy are two opposing colors that pair so well with each other.
What’s your best advice?
This short hair is truly great for women who especially those who want just a touch of edgy in their life. Doing panels or peek-a-boos is a great way to add a splash of unnatural hair color without being too over the top.
This particular short haircut works extremely well for someone with short fine hair.
Be prepared for a moderate level of maintenance to continue wearing a look like this. If you’re thinking about maintaining the length and color as is for a while, you will need regular haircuts (anywhere between 4-8 weeks). Coppers need to be refreshed in that time frame as well. Dry shampoo is your best friend. The less you shampoo, the longer the color will stay vibrant.

Q&A with style creator, Crystal Imperato
Senior Stylist @ The Upper Hand in River Oaks, TX
What’s great about this?
Short dark hair with highlights cut into a graduated bob created volume and density making it easy to achieve fullness in all the right areas.
The short dark underneath keeps it looking dense while the highlights throughout keep it light and airy on top.
What’s your best advice?
This short hairdo is more of a high maintenance style. I recommend getting a reshape every 4-5 weeks to keep the shape sharp and polished.
Red Hair with Blonde Highlights for Older Women
@melissacaponehair
Q&A with style creator, Melissa Capone
Hairstylist / Colorist @ Hairology Suite in Mount Sinai, NY
What’s great about this?
Short red hair with blonde highlights on a modern layered bob looks amazing.
The color placement is to accentuate the layers and frame around the face.
The combination of warmth from the copper base color and the coolness of the blonde highlights really give it a look that “pops.”
What’s your best advice?
This short hair and highlights is great for women over 70. It provides that age is just a number and you can always have fun with your hair.
If you have grey hair, the root touchup requires being done every 4-6 weeks. It’s not a low maintenance color. You would also need to use the right color shampoo and conditioner to order to maintain the color and prevent fading.
