If the only thing stopping you is that little voice inside your head whispering, You'll miss your ponytail, we have the fix. Ahead, we've compiled a comprehensive roundup of the cutest short updos that will ward off any and all post-cut regret.
From half-ups and barrette tucks to delicate French braids and baby topknots — all styled by the coolest girls on Instagram — scroll through to find the photo that will convince you to (finally) go above-the-shoulder short.
Floral Ribbon
Pulling your short hair back into a baby bun at the nape of your neck looks chic on its own, but tie it with a vintage floral-print ribbon scarf and it becomes the finishing touch on your April outfit.
Baseball Cap
Even if your hair is short, you don't have to style it every day. On a "bad hair day," lean into the low-key cool aesthetic of a baseball cap.
Silk Headscarf
Braids plus a headscarf are peak Zoom hairstyle perfection.
Half Up
To add a touch of romance to a shorter style, pull your top layer of hair back but let your face-framing stands stay loose.
Padded Headband
Rowan Blanchard, ever the coolest, proves that an elegant velvet headband is the perfect juxtaposition to an edgy shaggy bob.
Gold Barrette
With a blunt bob that falls above the collarbone, a half-up feels so chic. Pin it back with a sleek barrette, like this gold rectangular one, which is only $12 at J.Crew. (The chunky hoops from Mejuri will cost you a little extra.)
Slicked Back
If you have styling mousse and a single clip or bobby pin, you can get the easiest "updo" ever.
French Braids
If your hair won't fit into one braid, try two. Because your hair is short, the style will show off the nape of your neck (or, in this case, entire back).
Bobby Pins
Only have a handful of bobby pins in your dresser drawer? Slide them into your hair in a criss-cross shape for instant cool factor.
French Twist
Lucy Hale is constantly doling out short updo inspiration, but we're especially loving this French-twist bun. It adds a heavy dose of glamour — you know, just in case you can't splurge for the diamond droplet earrings.
Topknot
If you have naturally curly hair, take a style cue from model Melody Acevedo. Section off your hair from both temples and pull it tightly into a cute topknot at the crown.
Bubble Ponytail
You don't need to buy anything special — just two skinny hair ties — to pull off this unexpectedly chic, sectioned half-updo like Olivia Palermo.
Hair Jewelry
If there was ever a case for hair jewelry, it's this shot of Yara Shahidi and her cropped glossy curls punctuated with delicate gold rings along the side of her head.
Space Buns
Do you see Minnie Mouse or Millie Bobby Brown? Either way, these half-up, half-down space buns are unquestionably adorable.
Bright Bow
A short curly cut is gorgeous on its own; the clementine-colored scarf is just the bow on top.
