The Best Short Hair Styles Of 2021

When you flip through fashion magazines or scroll through Vogue's Instagram, it's likely that you've come across a slicked back short hair look. Described as "editorial," the slicked back look is daring, bold, and very expository — nothing highlights your face or bone structure quite like short hair that's perfectly glued down to your head (don't use Gorilla Glue, though). 

As noted by Who What Wear, the slicked back short hair look — that's been seen on a number of celebrities, including Halsey — is in for 2021, and it's really not hard to understand why. The look is not only "so low effort," but it's both edgy and sophisticated. There's certainly an air of "don't mess with me" with slicked back hair, and we love the look, to be honest. 

Thinking that this is the short style for you? Then opt for a couple products suggested by Vogue. The matte pomade from Ouai has been used by the likes of Bella Hadid to create the slicked back look, and the Oribe gel serum is another good go-to.
