Unlike boys, girls are beauty-conscious and desperately want to look cute and are choosy about the cosmetics they use and the jewelry they wear and experiment with hair styles to know the style that suits them best.

Adolescent girls look for hair styles that will go well with their face shape - that ranges from short length hair to medium length hair to shoulder length hair and leaving the hair straight or curled. Besides, these girls are also keen that the hair style they sport is trendy and not something outmoded.

Many girls prefer short hairstyles as they are more convenient to wash, brush and maintain. Short hairstyles are usually recommended for girls who do a lot of physical activity and regularly play outdoor games as long hair may easily get tangled.

Hair length that droops below the shoulder blades are neither favored by girls nor recommended by beauticians. Long hair will certainly mean spending more time for washing and brushing. But girls who are fond of long hair and do not mind spending extra time for hairdos can opt for cute braids. Letting the hair fall straight down can look good except that it can get tangled up quite frequently.

There can be a variety of hairstyles for girls who opt for medium length hair. The choice can range from braids to cute tiebacks and with slight or moderate curls. Besides, medium hair length can be the ideal choice as short hair styles may at times look boyish and long hair is time-consuming to maintain.

There are pixie cuts that not only look trendy but also versatile as it can be adjusted to suit individual taste, style and face shapes. The pixie cut is easy to maintain and is charming particularly on girls in their pre-teens or early teens. A popular style of the pixie is to leave strands of long hair on either side that oscillates to and fro when the girl walks briskly. Of course the long hair can also be clipped with an ornamental hair pin should a girl want it that way.

Bob haircuts can be sported by all girls regardless of age, shape of face, texture or color of hair. It is for this reason that bob haircuts are favored by most girls and never goes out of fashion. A bob haircut with artificially created layers and curls will provide the hair extra appeal. A bob haircut looks charming with both straight and wavy hair giving the girl a neat appearance.

Short shag haircuts give a mod look and popular amongst girls who are overly fashion-conscious. This trendy look suits girls who desire many different styles and keep experimenting with style products. It also works for girls who want to ape their favorite pop singers or television stars.

Hairstyles of girls keep changing every season and though most of the hairstyles are quite simple and can be easily done at home, there are some hairstyles that may need professional help - hairstyles that entail layering, coloring, and other trendy hairstyles sported by celebrities.

But blindly aping the hairstyles of celebrities can do you more harm than good as all hairstyles may not suit all girls. Again, if too many girls sport the same hairstyle, it is better you avoid that style and look for something unique and distinctly different.
