Beauty & Skincare Tips – Hair Styling Tips for Short Hair
Short hair continues to be a popular trend in hairstyles. If you cut your hair short and are now wondering what your styling options are, have no fear. With basic hairstyling tools such as a blow-dryer, straightener, curling iron, mousse, anti-frizz serum and some hair spray, you are well on your way to being able to get several looks with one short haircut. Here are 6 hair styling tips for short hair.
When you are looking to add body and lift to your new hairdo, the blow-dryer is the perfect tool for the job. Using a round brush while blow-drying will give you more body and lift to your short hairstyle. You can also use hair products that are designed to add body to hair while you are blow-drying and styling your short hair. Skip the brushes and combs and use your fingers while blow-drying to create a messy, but classy tussled look.
For volume and texture in your short hairstyle, use mousse or gel. Start out by towel drying your hair until it is halfway dry. Then apply a dime-sized amount of mousse, gel, or balm to your hair. Follow with a blow-dry, using your fingers to lift, tousle, and tease your hair as it dries. You can also use a finger diffuser attachment on your hair dryer instead of using your fingers.
When you are looking for extremely full hair, part your hair into several sections and blow-dry each one, from tip to roots. Use a curling iron to finish the look by touching up the ends of your hair. Styling paste will then add an element of texture to your new hairstyle.
Smooth and shiny hair can be obtained by towel drying your hair to remove as much moisture as possible. Next, add a styling product to the entire length of your hair and part into sections, using clips. Start with the bottom layers of hair first. While aiming the hairdryer down from the roots, use a bristle paddle brush to create smooth tendrils. Make sure each section is fully dry before moving on to the next section. Finish the style with some hairspray.
Hot rollers have been used for years to create nice curls, waves, and bounce. Cover your dry hair with hairspray and divide it into sections with a fine-toothed comb. Starting at the crown, roll small sections of hair around the roller and secure into place. Continue working down to the neck and then move to the sides of the head. When all your hair is in rollers, give it a final spray of hairspray to help the curls hold.
You can also change your hair color to enhance your new short hairstyle. Before you pick a new hair color, consider your skin tone. People with warm skin tones such as brown gold, or olive, should avoid using dark brown or black hair dye as it will look too harsh. Likewise, people with cool skin tones should stay away from warm colors. Instead, stick with a shade or two that is darker or lighter than your natural color.
