Raise your hand if you enjoy the feeling of fresh, clean short hair! It is the ideal way to showcase your personal style, making texture changes simple and trendy accessories like barrettes easy additions.
No matter if your hairstyle resembles Zoe Kravitz’s signature pixie cut or elegant lob, we have all of your short hair needs covered with our favorite hacks for stylish short locks that keep it chic and trendy.
1. Keep it Simple
Simple styling techniques for short hair are key when it comes to successful styling. Regular trims are essential in avoiding split ends and keeping your cut looking fresh and polished.
If you need an update, ask your stylist for a nape-hugging bob or pixie with lengths that can be tucked behind the ears like Rachel Bloom, Winnie Harlow or Samira Wiley do. Or for extra volume in your pixie cut consider an interior layer of longer hair framing the face like stylist Julie Facer created here.
Create texture and volume by playing with hair accessories like barrettes or bows; for an elegant and sophisticated look, try styling it into a low chignon.
2. Embrace Your Natural Texture
When it comes to styling short hair, embracing its natural texture is often key for success. Straightened strands can be enhanced using a flat iron; while wavy or curly locks may benefit from texturizing spray or sea salt spray and some gentle scrunching. Over-styling your locks may result in dryness, brittleness and breakage of its own accord.
If your short hair has some extra length to it, consider adding face-framing bangs like Winnie Harlow for an updated look or layers for movement – the stacked bob style below, created by stylist Julie Facer has plenty of movement!
Your shorter locks may also work perfectly well to create a low chignon or ponytail if used with a strong-hold product such as L’Oreal Paris Elvive Heat Slayer Pre-Iron spray.
3. Add Layers
Layering can add movement and texture to a short haircut, especially when combined with longer facial-framing pieces. Furthermore, this style gives you the option of pulling back or pinning up hair for more versatility from their layered haircut. Perfect for women seeking versatility from their layered haircut.
Replace curtain bangs with this eye-catching bob cut! Stacked layers create an eye-catching volume that frames the face beautifully.
For an effortless casual style, try curling short layered hair using a curling wand or hairspray, then tucking strands behind your ears before finishing it off with an adorable bow or scarf – this hairstyle works well with classic lob and edgy pixie haircuts alike!
4. Try a Tousled Look
Short hair offers many styling possibilities for those with short locks, including tousled looks. Curlier locks may try curling larger sections at once to achieve looser-textured waves or adding texture with texturizing products like OUAI’s leave-in conditioner to avoid flat and stiff texture. Straighter locks may benefit from scrunching while still damp and using mousse for an undone beachy style – simply add one or more bold hair clips around your ears for additional visual interest!
Even those with straight hair can give this trend a try by creating a low ponytail pinned at the back for an informal yet chic look. Once complete, finish by spraying some hairspray over it for added hold.
5. Accessorize
Short hair can take many forms, from daring pixie cuts to sophisticated lobs. Experiment with texture, braids and accessories for an eye-catching look like Rachel Bloom’s chic choppy pixie cut that features a bold clip behind her ear for easy out of face access. Or try retro blunt bangs like Winnie Harlow does or ask for straight across, close-to-the-ear blunt bangs which will suit any face shape – you could also try using our PURE BRAZILIAN Daily Anti-Frizz Serum which will ensure smooth and volumized locks!https://www.youtube.com/embed/0H7dJ9tHALc
