Library Hair Part II: Short and Sweet

In the second installment of Library Hair, we looked at options other than the classic bun.

I’ve always loved super short hairstyles on ladies. Aside from being extra cute, they seem easy to style, with a bonus savings on shampoo. (Though buyer beware, these styles require more frequent visits to the salon)

While my hair does not lend itself to this particular style (think Corey Matthews of Boy Meets World fame), if I had straight hair I would definitely give this style a shot.

I love Gennifer Goodwin’s sleek style:

And Natalie Portman’s slightly more textured look:
