16. Layered Teal-Blue Pixie

The layered pixie is colored vivid teal-blue and brushed forward into a short side fringe. Piecey styling through the crown gives the cropped cut texture without adding much height.

Blue-tipped coils are concentrated across the top, while slim cornrows keep one side close to the scalp. Moisturizing curl products help define the coils and reduce dryness after coloring.

18. Blue-Gray Bob with Short Bangs

Blue-gray bob with short bangs, dark roots, and pale ends

The rounded bob blends dark roots into powder blue and pale blonde ends. Short, curved bangs sit above the brows and echo the soft shape around the jaw.

19. Navy Crop with Micro Bangs

Deep navy crop with a blunt micro fringe

Deep navy hair is cropped close and finished with a straight micro fringe above the brows. The blue reads nearly black in low light but becomes clearer around the textured crown.

20. Navy Liberty Spikes

Navy liberty spikes with shaved sides

Navy hair is formed into long liberty spikes that fan from the crown, with the sides kept close. This punk style requires section-by-section shaping and a strong gel or hair glue.

21. Steel-Blue Pixie with Undercut

Steel-blue pixie with a long side fringe and shaved undercut

A long steel-blue fringe sweeps across the forehead from a deep side part. The opposite side is shaved close, creating a sharp contrast with the smooth top.

22. Teal-Blue Bob with Blunt Bangs

Teal-blue chin-length bob with blunt bangs

The chin-length bob is cut in a clean line and paired with short blunt bangs. Deep teal-blue color and a sleek finish give the compact shape a precise edge.

23. Icy Blue Pixie with Side Braids

Icy blue side-swept hair with a braided shaved side

Icy blue hair is left long and wavy across the top, then swept over from a braided side section. The exposed undercut keeps the asymmetrical shape light around the ear.

24. Cobalt-Blue Asymmetrical Bob

Cobalt-blue asymmetrical bob with a long side fringe

The cobalt-blue bob is longer on one side and shaped with a sweeping fringe. A smooth blowout emphasizes the angled outline and the darker blue sections underneath.

25. Blue-Violet Ombre Lob

Tousled lob with dark roots and blue-violet ombre

Dark roots fade into smoky blue and violet through the tousled lob. The uneven part and loose texture keep the grow-out area blended rather than sharply divided.

26. Turquoise Side-Shaved Bob

Turquoise asymmetrical bob with one shaved side

The turquoise bob falls past the jaw on one side while the other side is shaved close. Sweeping the longer section across the forehead highlights both the color and the uneven length.

27. Mint-Blue Quiffed Pixie

Mint-blue blowout pixie with dark roots and a high quiff

Mint-blue hair is blow-dried upward and back into a high quiff over darker roots. Short sides support the height, while a firm paste keeps the lifted pieces separated.

28. Voluminous Cobalt-Blue Crop

Voluminous cobalt-blue crop with a blunt fringe

Cobalt-blue hair is built up through the crown and paired with a short blunt fringe. Backcombing at the roots creates the rounded height, but the surface remains smooth.

29. Periwinkle Cropped Pixie

Very short periwinkle pixie with a soft textured finish

The close-cropped pixie is colored a soft periwinkle with subtle lilac tones. Slightly longer pieces on top add texture without changing the compact shape.

30. Turquoise Textured Pixie

Turquoise textured pixie with darker roots

Turquoise layers are cut short and tousled across the crown, with darker roots adding depth. A light wax defines the separated pieces while keeping the finish flexible.

For the best looking short blue hairstyles, avoid washing your hair with hot water, condition often, and try to style your hair without hot tools. Your color will last longer and stay luscious!
