Hair Dos: 5 Ways To Rock Short Hair

Short haircuts are not only gorgeous, they’re pretty low maintenance. Most days you can wash your hair and be out the door. But if you’re looking to change things up a bit, whether for your workday, a night out, or a glitzy event, here are 5 striking styles perfect for short hair…

With A Teeny Tiny Twist Or Braid

The Vibe: Whimsical.

How To Get It: Take one or two small sections of hair near your face and either braid or twist away from your face. Hair spray and secure with a bobby pin.

Tousled

The Vibe: Playful.

How To Get It: Towel dry hair and mist with a texturizing spray. Blow dry (or air dry if you prefer), then define some of the pieces in front with a bit of hair wax between your finger tips. Finish with hair spray.

Slicked Back–Evan Rachel Wood

The Vibe: Cool.

How To Get It: Run a straight iron through your hair if it’s not naturally straight. Use a strong-hold gel to slick back the sides of your hair, leaving a bit of height at the crown. Hair spray in place for a sleek, frizz-free look.

 

Spiked

The Vibe: Edgy.

How To Get It: This one works better on hair that hasn’t been washed in a day or two–it will hold the style better. Use hair wax or pomade to pull random pieces of hair upward. For a more angular style, use a straight iron to straighten random pieces of your hair before pulling them skyward.

 

With A Major Hair Accessory

The Vibe: Playful. Fashion-Forward.

How To Get It: Get a giant headband, like this one.
