Modern Edgy Haircuts

If you’re bored of your hair, or feel like you’ve worn every style under the sun, it may be time to go for an edgier look. Embracing asymmetry, short bangs, and undercuts, these edgy hairstyles are as bold and unique as you.

A style this short is an unusual sight on a woman, and it looks even more awesomely edgy when worn by an A-list celebrity walking the red carpet. 

High Undercut Style 4

The longer pieces on top contrast perfectly with a high undercut around the back and sides of hair. This is a great short style for women with thick hair who won’t miss the bulky hair underneath.

Geometric Asymmetrical Bob 5

Taking the asymmetrical bob to another level, this style features abrupt differences in length from side to side and front to back.

Copper Undercut 6

By styling hair pushed back instead of forward and sweeping across the face, this short cut looks more traditionally masculine, making it an edgier, more unique choice. Line details in the shaved sides give an added reminder of men’s hair trends.

This pretty pink style puts a modern, feminine take on the counterculture classic mohawk. If you’re not afraid to go edgy, this is a great option for elongating the appearance of a round face.

Tiny Baby Bangs 13

Tiny Baby Bangs

More

Bangs this short can do amazing things for your face! Many women are afraid to give them a try, because once you’ve got them, they’re very hard to conceal. Women with straighter hair types will have an easier time getting these to behave, but they’re worth it for anyone to wear at least once.

Disconnected Cut 14

Disconnected Cut

Featuring a low undercut and line detail, this short style puts a different spin on the more popular pixie with a high undercut.  Style with big jewellery and dramatic makeup for an impressive mashup of masculine and feminine elements.

Red And Black Undercut 20

Red And Black Undercut

One of Rihanna’s boldest looks, this undercut style is made even more eye-catching thanks to the intense red colour. This type of blue-red shade looks best against darker complexions, and can be too harsh of a contrast for fair-skinned women.
