Short Hair Styles

Short Hair Styles - Cut Close, Crop, Bob or Layer?

A good short hair style should emphasize your best attributes, such as your eye and hair colors, skin tones, body and your face shape

The right short hair style fits your personality and your lifestyle. It creates a sense of balance between your head, face, body and the unique person that is you.

Women with short hair are often regarded as more confident, outgoing and fun than those with longer locks.

For a sleek bob, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to get rid of product buildup. Then, blow-dry using the tiniest bit of shine glaze to curb frizz. Finish by running a flat iron through the front sections only. You want sleeker in front and a little fuller in back.

A cropped pixie cut for curly textures looks chic, but you should use hair products that add a lot of moisture and shine to keep your hair from puffing up.

Even though your hair is short, use a rich conditioner. Run a cocktail of styling cream and gel through damp hair. If you can stand it, let your hair air-dry. Otherwise, use a small round brush to smooth out the very front sections, then blow-dry, brush-free, on a very low setting.

Medium textured short hair styles ...

Cut medium textured hair into face framing layers. Apply mousse from the roots to the ends, then blow-dry forwards and use your fingers to rake through the hair from the back to the front.
