Short hair for men and long hair for women; that has always been the norm in most parts of the world. But such traditions have been made obsolete recently with people experimenting with all kinds of hairstyles and lengths. Nevertheless, some women feel that short hair doesn't look good on them. If you need that extra push to chop of your long locks into stylish and trendy shorter ones, here we have a list of female K-pop idols who pulled off short hair.

3. Jeongyeon
Jeongyeon from Twice once sported a pixie cut which complimented her delicate features amazingly. The short hairstyle highlighted her elfish beauty, which she had dyed in many different colors throughout the years, including pale pink, brown, blonde minty green, bright blue, and classic black.

Winter from Aespa is known for her stunning baby face. Her doll-like visuals were perfect for a short bob which served different vibes in different colors.

A blunt bob paired with her edgy and sexy fashion sense, Hwasa from Mamamoo looked like a girl crush. The short hair highlighted her strong features and an equally strong personality.
