  Many wearers of short hair enjoy dressing up their 'dos with hair color. There are an assortment of color options that are particularly well suited to shorter locks. By modifying your short style with dye, you can create a completely new look without trimming more length from your existing locks.
  
  

Sunkissed Highlights

• Add some style to your bob or other short 'do with sunkissed highlights. Select a tone that is a few shades lighter than your natural color. Have thin highlights placed in the hair at the crown of your head. By doing this, you'll create the look of natural highlighting without having to bake in the sun.
  
  

Bold Highlights

• For a look that's more planned, opt for bold highlights. Using a tone that contrasts well with your hair color, place chunky highlights through your short tresses. To keep the look natural, use a naturally occurring tone. If you want to make more of a statement, opt for a bold red or other synthetic-looking hue.
  
  

Two-Toned Coif

• Create a cutting-edge style with a two-toned color job. To create this look, color the hair at the top of your head one color and the locks at your nape another. Select colors that contrast well, such as light blond and dark black. This will help you create a bold look that makes a statement.
  
  

Tipped Color

• Give your short cut or pixie style a funky finish with tipped color. Create this look by applying color only to the tips of your hair. Use a fantastical hue, like hot pink or vivid purple, to give your look a punk edge. If you have deep chestnut hair, try adding light blond to the tips for an everday style.
  
  

Sassy Red

• Give your color a kick by changing your standard hue to a bold red. Vivid red hair is an attention-getter and can create a modern look for the wearer who is a bit off the beaten path. This tone is a wise choice for short-hair wearers because it draws attention to shorter locks. While those with longer hair can wear this color, the extra hair can cause an overly bold look that detracts from the wearer's other positive features.
