A lot of people are usually of the opinion that layered haircuts look better on people with medium to long hair, and if you prefer to have short hair, then it is better to stick to a more uniform hairstyle. But let us tell you that this is really not the case, and that layers look totally flattering on all hair lengths, including short hair. Nope, we aren't kidding! Additionally, getting layered cuts done on short hair is an instant way to add a touch of feminine grace to your hairdo without trying too hard. But since the length of your short hair ends between your ears and neck, we understand if you feel like adding layers just seems like a wasted move. But right from giving your hair the illusion of a bit more length to delivering oodles of faux volume, layered cuts for short hair could easily be your blessing in disguise. In this article, we have listed seven unique layered cuts for short hair. If you are planning to go for a haircut sometime soon, then here's all the inspiration you need to give yourself a makeover and look uber stylish!

07FAQs about layered cuts for short hair
Q. Should you get layers with short hair?
**A. **Short haircuts usually have a more defined shape as they are not bulky and do not weigh down the shape of your cut. By adding layers, your haircut will look a lot more defined and voluminous at the top. So if you have naturally thin hair, then getting a shorter haircut with layers will help make it appear thicker and more voluminous.
Q. What are some trending short haircut styles of 2020?
**A. **The short retro shag is making a huge comeback in 2020. But instead of the softer and deliberately messy appearance of the shag, the 2020 take on this hairstyle is a lot softer and more flattering. Additionally, the modern shag hairstyle is tailored to suit each person's age, personality and face shape, making it that much more personalised.
Q. Are bangs with short haircuts trending in 2020?
**A. **Bangs are definitely huge and trending in 2020. People are becoming a lot more experimental with the type of bangs they are choosing this year. From celebrities to influencers, everyone is seen getting bangs and styling them in so many different and fun ways. Main image courtesy: @short_hair_ideas on Instagram
