Have you ever wondered how short hair can get interesting too, instead of all the long hair you see in the magazines? In this article, we offer different techniques and looks for shorter hair. I think you will enjoy them, as once in a while it is nice to wear a different look. Although, sometimes it's a challenge to know what are the best hairstyles for short hair. So here you go.
Twisty Texture Bun
Create a loose and carefree style using random sections pinned into a bun.
How to Style:
1. Spray dry hair with hair spray, like the Infinitum #3 or dry shampoo, such as Next Day Hair, even though it's technically not a dry shampoo, it acts like one. It gives the hair a great texture and holds for any kind of hairstyling.
2. Twist the random sections up and use bobby pins to secure them. Choose pins that match your hair color. Leave a little hair loose in the front around your face.
3. Curl the loose end with a curling iron.
4. Arrange loose ends in a messy pattern.
Brilliant Bouffant Hairstyle
This hairstyle is perfect for those who have delicate hair. It will give you a smooth shape full of volume paired with a hair accessory.
How to Style:
1. Towel dry hair before you attempt this hairstyle. Add some of the Volume Envy Mousse with a comb.
2. Round brush your hair and blow-dry to get volume.
3. Use a teasing brush to tease the top and back of the crown of your head.
4. Now you will need to smooth the front portion and create a bump using the side of the teasing brush. Smooth the sides back and over your ears and use bobby pins.
5. Use Infinitum #3 at the end for touchable hold and finishing touch.
Delicate Curls
In this hairstyle, curls are pulled back in a partial and the hairstyle is perfect for a day look or accessorized for the night!
How to Style
1. First of all part your hair to one side. Preheat 1-inch curling iron and collect some bobby pins. Use dry shampoo or Next Day Hair to give your hair extra volume.
2. Use heat setting spray as you work through smoothing the lower sections with a flat iron.
3. Take 1/4 to 1/2-inch sections of hair at the top of your head, curling each and pinning back. Remember to leave the curl shape as is when you release it so it keeps its shape as it lays over the smoothed hair.
4. Spray with medium to high hold hairspray, my suggestion is Infinium #3.
Messy Faux Bun
This awesome layered crop is styled up to look as if its long hair piled up into a trendy bun.
How to Style:
1. Towel dry hair to remove moisture completely from your hair.
2. Work a golf ball-sized amount of styling mousse, Volume Envy Extra, through the hair with a comb.
3. Now use dry air and a round brush to add volume and shape to the top section.
4. Smooth the sides and back.
5. Tease sections of the top slightly near your scalp to give structure to the style.
6. Roll medium to large-sized sections near the back of the crown of your head forward so they look as if they’re in the shape of a bun.
7. Secure sections with bobby pins.
8. Roll the front forward in sections to create volume around your hairline.
9. Finish with a medium-hold hairspray, Infinitum #3.
Full and Elegant Hairstyle
Thick curls full of body and movement and style with lots of volume and make short hair appear longer than it really is!
How to Style:
1. Shampoo and condition hair with products designed for curly hair, like the Innersence Hair Care line.
2. Towel dry hair by wringing out excess moisture. Do not rub hair since rubbing will cause unnecessary frizz.
3. Work a medium to high-hold styling mousse, Volume Envy Extra through your hair with a comb.
4. Use a large, round, pronged diffuser to lift hair and dry on a medium heat setting.
5. Choose a light styling serum or hair oil to run through locks, gently working it from bottom to top to maintain the volume, but add shine to your curls.
6. Finish with a medium-hold hairspray, Infinium #3 for all-day control.
