If you originally had very long hair then you might consider a shoulder length cut to be short, it is all relative.

Buzz cuts, shaved heads, short caps, cropped hairstyles that are between 2 to 4 inches in length, shorter bobs, short layered cuts and longer caps are all considered to be short hair styles. Typically if your hair does not go beyond your chin then it can be considered a short hair style.
