Looking for slightly messy short hair for a tomboyish teen

Im looking for slightly messy short or shoulder length hair for G8 or G9 that would suit a tomboyish teen. Any suggestions? Ive just realised Ive got a serious lack of decent short hair for women & the mens short hair I have looks more like the sort of haircut a butch lesbian would get to celebrate coming out the cupboard when I put it on a woman.

Ooh thanks, they all look good but I think the pixie hair is almost perfect for what I have in mind

a few notes - i have a lot of hairstyles in my library, but there have always been far more short hairstyles for women in my collection than long ones, as I've found that, just like in real life, a style that works perfectly with one face shape can be horribly unflattering with another, and the less hair there is, the more extreme the dissonance can becopme.  Unless they're specifically made as an "either/or" with both male and female specific morphs, Mens cuts usually tend to look a bit butch due to the placement of the sideburns.  Finally, how a hairstyle works is also extremely dependent upon the character's body build and clothing and jewellry choices, so the hair is usually the very last thing I add when creating a character.

Very good point, you really do need a lot of hair, especially women's hair
