    Black holes with short hair

    We present spherically symmetric black hole solutions for Einstein gravity coupled to anisotropic matter. We show that these black holes have arbitrarily short hair, and argue for stability by showing that they can arise from dynamical collapse. We also show that a recent `no short hair' theorem does not apply to these solutions.Comment: 11 pages, latex, reference added, to appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
