Trendy Hairstyles and Haircuts for Teen Girls

The ideas of cool haircuts and hairstyles for girls are endless: from chic asymmetric haircuts to classy bobs, and from crazy voluminous hairstyles to sleek updos. There are exciting hairstyle options for any hair length, including short hair. Here is a review of trendy girls’ hairstyles and haircuts for 2025. Not only do they look stylish, but most of them are also easy to re-create at home!

1. Short Sides Long Top Pompadour

Craving short hair, but want something edgier than a pixie cut? Teen hairstyles like this one let a girl express herself and stand out in a crowd. The sides and back are clipped very short, typically a ¼ to ½ inch long. The top is then left at least three to four inches long to create the contrast of lengths. The hair is styled up into a retro wave.

2. Sleek Medium Haircut

Healthy hair is a timeless trend perfect for girls in their ‘teenage era.’ With subtle layers and natural-looking highlights, you will easily achieve a shiny and polished hairstyle. Keep your ends trimmed regularly to keep your hair in its best condition.

3. Short to Long Bob

This deeply angled bob is an above-the-ordinary cut thanks to the high contrast between lengths in the layers. To achieve the rounded shape, keep the back area tapered into the nape while leaving the hair at the crown one-length. The longer front layers encourage the movement away from your face, lightening up the hair and keeping it from overpowering your features.

4. Intricate Half-Braided Hairstyle

Double boxer braids are an ideal hairstyle for those days when you have training or you’re going to spend time outside. But we offer to add more uniqueness to this look by making double braids from each side up to the bottom nape and finishing with two low ponytails.

5. Short and Wavy Shag

Stylish heavily layered haircuts such as this one are perfect for taming overly-thick hair and infusing it with movement and texture. The layers are chopped almost straight across at the bottom but angled just slightly longer toward the front. The bang area is left long and blended to the side.

6. Light Loose Waves

Wavy hairstyles are a great alternative to layered haircuts for those with straight locks. With the light and easy everyday waves created with a curling wand or iron, you can get a fuss-free look inspired by the summer breeze.

7. Bob with Shaved Side

At first glance, this teenage haircut looks like a normal, everyday bob. But then you notice the chic shaven temple that works as a cool contrasting punk-rock element to the softness of the blonde hair. Play this style up (or down) at school, work or a concert.

8. A-line Brown Bob

Short haircuts are ideal for tweens and teens. Not only are they low maintenance and easy to style, but they can also quickly be played up for a special occasion with the help of styling tools. Use a round brush when blow-drying to curl the hair inwards slightly.

9. Romantic Half-Up Curly Hair

We love half-up hairstyles for their carefree charm, flattering for teenage girls and young ladies. This style will look awesome on both straight and wavy hair, but we suggest curling the locks to make them voluminous and bouncy.

10. Feathered Layers and Highlights

While blunt cuts may make long, thick hair look heavy and flat, face-framing layers deliver that hair volume and texture you could only dream of. Adding subtle highlights accentuates this style, imbuing it with a delightful girl-next-door charm.

11. A-Line Lob with Braid

Picture-perfect for special occasions like a wedding, formal dance, choir/band concert or an after-school party, a cute waterfall braid can jazz up nearly any hairstyle imaginable. Create an even more dynamic appearance by incorporating highlights or balayage coloring.

@vanmichaelsalon

12. Bubble Braids for Long Hair

For this cool and fashionable hairstyle, section off your hair in a similar manner to how you would for two French braids. Take a small part of the hair at the left front, tie a loop around with a hair elastic, and slightly pull the hair to give it a bubble shape. Add more hair gradually, creating new bubbles all the way down. Repeat on the other side.

@charley.mae.b

13. Pixie-Bob with Long Bangs

Hairstyles for teenage girls can truly run the gamut in terms of inventiveness, offering options for different hair lengths. For example, this cool angled choppy crop with a dramatic bang is a good choice for those with short locks. We suggest keeping your color neutral so as not to draw too much attention away from the cut.

14. Princess Crown Braid

This elegant girly updo will make you look like a princess at your prom. Dutch crown braids, transitioned into a playful curly pony on the nape, will perfectly complement your dress and allow you to enjoy dances without worrying about your hairstyle. Add fringe locks for a bit of flirty, mischievous vibes.

@_graced.by.grace_

15. Curly Pixie with Bangs

Of course, not all pixie cuts need to look like Tinkerbelle’s. Wavy or curly textures can be absolutely gorgeous on short-to-medium hair, just as long as they don’t look too put together. Messiness is a virtue in this instance, so we recommend running a texturizing gel through your strands before styling.

@hairbylizziemonahan

16. Cute Asymmetrical Bob

Perfect for straight, fine hair, this bob is both cute and easy to style. The cut is parted off-center and angled slightly longer in front from one side, which makes it look somewhat asymmetrical and, thus, more fun. Blow dry it with a lightweight styling spray to make it sleek and shiny.

@360hairextension

17. Shoulder-Length Flippy Shag

Looking inspiring to teenage girls for its rebellious vibe, the shaggy cut is a win-win option for your new haircut. Blow-dry your hair with a round brush, flicking the ends upwards to create this classy retro flip that was wildly popular in the ‘90s.

@studioartmr

18. Short Braided Teenage Style

If you’re looking for a way to style your natural hair, try this asymmetrical protective hairstyle. Braids worn all over relieve you of your daily styling issues and provide endless opportunities to express your individuality through creative hairdos. For instance, you can shift all your braids to one side, leaving thin cornrows on another for an edgy asymmetry.

@touchofheavensalon

19. Layered Bob with Highlights

Flattering for all face shapes, a layered bob with highlights is one of the utterly timeless haircuts for teenage girls. To enhance each layer individually, gently wrap locks around a large-barrel curling iron and curl outward. Create extra volume with powdered or liquid dry shampoo.

20. Playful Curls and Braids

With messy curls and braids, this fun teenage hairstyle will show off your boldness and individuality. Decorate it with hair cuffs and beads, and add one or two bubble braids to make it look more interesting yet remain on the low-maintenance side.

@anna.divinee

21. Messy Textured Pixie

Middle and high school is the best time for being bold and different in order to find yourself, which includes experimenting with different hairstyles. So embrace the opportunity to try extra-short cuts like this curly textured pixie, as they’re currently in vogue!

@shinehairsalonandspa

22. Cute and Easy Double Buns

The last thing you want as a teenage girl is to be boring, are you? This is why this lovely double-bun hairstyle is here for you to consider. All your school girlfriends are guaranteed to wish to copy this fashionable look after you wear it.

@fergusonshaelyne

23. Double Dutch Braid Pony

Here is another stylish braided look for you to try. Part your hair in the middle, take a very small amount of hair in front for two separate braids, and start braiding both sides. Gradually add new hair and continue braiding each side repeating a semi-circle shape to bring them together on the nape. Finish by collecting all your hair in a ponytail with a hair band.

@braidsby_maryam

24. Soft Wispy Layers and Curtain Bangs

For girls with thick and long hair, we suggest trying this haircut featuring soft layers and face-framing bangs. Style it by slightly tousling the hair at the crown to achieve this nice lightweight texture and airiness.

@creativedesignlynden

25. Natural Braids and Curls

In search of hairstyles and haircuts for teens with naturally curly hair? A simple short-to-medium cut is lovely and convenient. A mixture of curls and braids can provide a fun, and even funky, appearance.

@kosmetikos_courtney

26. Ombre Braid and Bun

This half updo is perfect for casual or dressy occasions. To recreate this style, section off the top of the hair from temple to temple. Then, part it in the middle with both sides braided to the center of the head. Now wrap the two braids around each other loosely to form a messy bun. Add depth to the braid and highlight the soft curls on the bottom with a trendy blonde ombre.

@modernsalon

27. Ear-Length Bob with Cute Bangs

French bob is undoubtedly one of the cutest short haircuts for teenage girls. Short, wispy bangs make it look sweet, youthful and innocent but also incredibly stylish.

@kaitrinatfuture

28. Half-Up Style with Mohawk Braid

This Mohawk braid style is perfect when you’re crunched for time but aim to stand out. Section off the area in the center and braid it crossing the sections of hair underneath like in Dutch braid. Then, take some more hair to turn it into a voluminous bun, leaving the remaining locks loose freely.

@megsbeachyhair

29. Pink and Orange Bixie

Teenagers like making a statement with their haircuts and makeup, and knowing this, we reckon you’ll love this vibrant pink and orange bob with longer layers. Maintaining longer layers near the front of your face adds a punk-inspired edge while also providing a flattering effect by emphasizing facial features.

@ellienorski

30. V-Braid and Bubble Ponytail

While Dutch braids are always a good option for an everyday school look, you can spice up your style with a whimsical bubble pony. Start with a classic double braid style and smoothly transition to a long bubble braid falling down the back elegantly.

@annalovesbraids

31. Boho Braids for Teenage Girl

Braided hairstyles can effortlessly elevate your natural curls, making them perfect for school activities, as well as your classmates’ birthday parties. Depending on the hair length, you can also collect your boho braids in a lovely updo to keep them out of your way for dance classes or gymnastics.

@journeestreasure

32. Long Wavy Ponytails

This playful hairstyle will perfectly complement your vibrant personality and make you the center of attention at school. To make the ponytails look fancy, wrap your hair around them to cover hair elastics and apply some hair spray for extra shine.

@zahra.hairartist

33. Middle Part Loose Waves

Hairstyles with loose curls will look flattering on girls with oval face shapes. To create those waves, curl your hair with a medium-sized curling iron and lightly spray them with a hairspray for a subtle hold.

@hairbyrachee

34. Polished Hair with Face-Framing Bangs

Bangs offer easy styling and add a touch of sophistication for young girls. Besides, they can balance your face shape, as these elongated curtain bangs harmonize the round face.

@bivolika_style

35. Wispy Bangs and Long Layers

This layered cut can enhance the beauty of naturally wavy hair and infuse it with added texture and volume. Opt for longer layers that elongate your face beautifully and complement the style with accurate wispy bangs to add that flirty, girly charm.

@beauti_by_soniya

36. Side-Swept Voluminous Curls

Let your long, curly locks cascade freely in this gorgeous Hollywood glam hairstyle that will make you a prom queen. Style your hair to the side and fix it with a strong-hold hairspray to make this stunning volume last for as long as you need.

@kaiquefavaretto

37. Braided Style for Long Hair

Braids can add an exciting touch to your everyday look, especially when paired with long tresses as you can see here. Part your hair in the center and braid two Dutch braids, one from each side, combining them together into a high ponytail with a hair band. Slightly pull the edges of your braids to make them a little bit fuller.

@clairesbraidbar

38. Neat Braided Updo with Low Puff

This cute, quick and simple school style is a perfect option for girls with naturally curly or coily hair. Craft a headband braid and sleek the rest of your curls into the bun or a puff to minimize tangles.

@milana.cleo

39. Mid-Length Haircut with Long Curtain Bangs

Layered haircuts look great on girls with finer hair types, as they infuse locks with texture and body the fine hair lacks. To style this haircut, Cindy Murphy recommends using a shine and frizz oil, then quickly flat ironing the hair to achieve a smooth and silky appearance.

@cindyhstyles

40. Flattering Face-Framing Layers

A shoulder-length haircut adorned with gentle, face-framing layers is a stylish yet versatile option for a young fashionista. The hair length allows it to easily pull hair back into a ponytail or an updo while leaving some front layers to frame the face beautifully.
