35 Shaved Hairstyles for Women Who Dare to Be Different

Advertisement1 of 35Next Do you ever look at a female celebrity or a model that decided to shave their head (ahem, Cara Delevingne) and wonder what you would look like if you tried it too? If you are in the market to experiment with a more daring haircut, there are plenty of shaved hairstyles for women to inspire you.

These different styles and cuts give you an edgier look without the commitment of completely shaving off your hair. To our working ladies: if you have a stricter workplace dress code, don’t run away yet! There is an alternative for everyone — whether you want a bold or understated look with long or short hair. Here are some ways clippers can spice up your life.

1. Subtle Side Shaved Bob

By keeping a bob and getting a shaved section, you can play into the undercut bob trend while still looking professional. This is the option for a working lady who desires a bolder look but doesn’t want to compromise being taken seriously by co-workers or peers.

2. Shaved ‘X’ Design Back of Head

@hugosalon

Express your individuality by getting a shaved side or back of your head with a haircut design. The contrast of brunette hair against the striking x design will make heads turn. To gaze at you. Go for it.

3. Swept Back Short Shaved Hairstyle

@benwardscissorhands

For a low maintenance option, choose a pixie fade haircut with both sides shaved and style it by brushing the front center of your hair to the back. This will give your short hairstyle a cleaner look that won’t take lots of time in the morning to put together, so it’s perfect for the busier, no-fuss girl.

4. Straight Bob with Shaved Temple

@tribecacolorsalon

Keep it simple and chic with a straight, blunt bob that features a side part. Any bold color, such as this mahogany red hue, with an undercut, is an exciting way to spruce up your short hair.

5. Star Design Bottom Shaved Hair

@bescene

For women choosing discreet shaved hairstyles, this peek-a-boo will make a statement with every up-do! If you’re unsure about committing to shaved sides, an undercut design at the bottom of your nape is a route you can consider. This sneaky cut gives an option of keeping your star a secret when your hair is down.

6. Cute Swirl Side Shave

@edwardklipperhands

For the dangerous ladies who are not to be messed with! If you’re going to do it — go all in! Show off your creativity with the shaved side featuring an intricate design of your choice.

7. Shaved Long Hair with Nape Design

@caitlintyczka

Pigtails and space buns are one of the most popular hairstyles of the moment. Take a note from Miley Cyrus and rock two high ponytails (with or without braids) to show off both your long hair and a sick shaved design. You can make the design anything you want — talk about sassy and sweet!

8. Half Shaved Head with Mermaid Waves

@guy_tang

Everyone seems to be talking about mermaids nowadays. Extra long, thick hair with a short side is a hairstyle for feminine girls who are brave and fearless. If you belong to them, try this half shaved head hairstyle! Don’t be afraid to go for a tender pastel hair color, like pink or lavender.

9. Layered and Shaved Underneath

@presleypoe

Where to begin with this edgy look… If subtlety isn’t your thing, choose a complicated style. Shaved underneath, and piecey with overlapping layers on top, the splashes of blue dye are a nice touch.

10. Pink Butterfly Side Shave

@theconfessionsofahairstylist

This cute haircut makes us want to join a girl rock band! The butterfly design makes a nice contrast to the powerful buzz cut. If you want to add an adventurous hair color into the mix, a muted pink complements the style seamlessly.

11. Wavy One Side Shaved Hairstyle

@candicemarielv

This shaved hairstyle, inspired by Kelly Osbourne and her iconic undercut style, brings out your features and creates a soft frame for your face shape. The asymmetrical look with bouncy waves for women with an independent way of thinking is colorful, flirty, and vibrant.

12. Partly Shaved Head with Bangs

@rysemassedoeshair

If you like to stick to the regular style with bangs and mid-length or long hair, next time when you go to the hair salon why not get a shave underneath? With this occasional visibility, you have nothing to lose, and spontaneity to gain! You’re only young once, right?

13. Tribal Curly Shaved Hair

@b.k_bescene

This gives a beautiful contrast between curly hair and angular designs. Washing curly hair is a process that is done once or twice a week, and you can show off your cool hair on those in-between days when you throw it up in a bun or pony. This tribal inspired shaved design will turn heads for sure.

14. Bold Shaved Side Hairstyle

@costelloxcult

What makes shaved haircuts more fun? When you shave from side to side of your hair! Like a semi-permanent headband, with a strip section of shaved hair above your forehead your facial features will stand out against a cleaner outline. Bye-bye baby hairs!

15. Voluminous Pixie Haircut

@tashpotatoes_hair

Shave all around the sides and back of your head and leave your top hair longer for extra drama! Drawing the eyes upwards, this cool haircut is perfect to elongate your face shape. This results in a rocker chic pixie cut with loads of va-va-volume.
