Short hair, don't care.

When it comes to cutting it all off, there's been no better time - short hair is ALL the rage at the moment, thanks to trend setters like Hailey Bieber and Zendaya, to name a few.

There's many ways to skin a cat, however.

Here's our definitive guide to the different types of short cuts and how to rock them.

For those who aren't willing to commit to a super short look, the lob is defined as being between the chin and the collarbone in length.

It's basically just a longer bob (hence, lob).
