Although there are a large number of options for short haircuts, among them it is worth noting such a hairstyle as "hedgehog", the popularity of which is growing every day. The fact is that it is she who is one of the simplest, and suits very many.

Today, many young girls, as well as quite successful business women, choose the "hedgehog" hairstyle. And they do this not only in pursuit of fashion, but also in order to to emphasize their beauty, efficiency and originality. Some of them deliberately create a rude look to stand out from the crowd.

In addition, a good specialist will be able to mask even some flaws by using special techniques. For example, different hair lengths or thinning are used for this.

Feminine styling for short hair has both pros and cons. The advantages include the fact that you do not need to spend a lot of time styling such a haircut. The hairstyle can last all day without any changes. However, girls with curvaceous forms are better off refraining from such drastic decisions. In addition, this haircut requires daily makeup, as well as choosing the right accessories to appear more feminine.

If it may seem to some that such a haircut is quite simple, then this is a completely wrong judgment.

It is worth taking a closer look at the hedgehog haircut technology in order to understand how it looks from the front and back. It is based on a regular haircut with a hair length of no more than five centimeters.Therefore, it is necessary to take this nuance into account. If it is possible to correct some errors on long hair, then it is very problematic to do something with a minimum length. The scheme of work is as follows.

• First you need to do a parting at the very top of the head, and then divide the hair into two parts. The upper zone must be secured with hairpins.
• After that, you need to separate the temporal zones with a comb and secure them with clamps.
• The haircut starts from the frontal zones. First of all, you need to decide on the length of the hair, and then you can start the haircut itself. The hair is pinched with your fingers, and then a horizontal cut is made. The direction should go from the forehead, gradually cutting off strand by strand.
• At the back of the head, hair should be cut against their growth. This will make the haircut more even. Very often, an electric clipper is used to trim the back of the head and temples.
• The most important thing in a hedgehog haircut is that the transition from short hair to longer hair is smooth. In addition, filleting can be done, since this technique will help you style your hair better, especially if it is coarse. It will also add volume and, in some cases, negligence to the haircut.

Considering that this style of short haircut is quite “capricious”, then, unfortunately, it will not suit every girl or woman. Therefore, before going to the salon, you must definitely consider your wishes and study all the selection rules.

First of all, beauties should be with perfect proportions and delicate facial features. After all, with such a haircut, not only the face is exposed, but also the neck. In addition, this hairstyle will look best on girls who have thick and coarse hair. And also she will go to beauties with huge eyes. In this case, they must be emphasized with bright makeup.

It will be better if the shape of the face is slightly elongated or oval. But those with irregular facial features or irregular head shape should refuse such a haircut. The same applies to girls with curvaceous forms, because a short haircut will only emphasize this drawback.

It is worth noting that experts distinguish several types of hedgehog haircuts. It can be fashionable with shaved temples, and the simplest haircut, which is not difficult to style. The most common options can be considered.

Most often, this hairstyle is done with an electric clipper. Hair is cut depending on the length you choose. If this is a shortened version, then their length does not exceed two centimeters. This hairstyle requires absolutely no styling. The hair on its own will stand as a hedgehog with such a short length.

In order for the haircut to be correct, the hair must be cut not only at the back of the head, but also at the temples. They should remain long at the top of the head. In order to give your image coquettishness or even insolence, you need to raise the strands on the top of your head. However, in this case, you will need extra styling and good hold.

This option involves cutting hair on the back of the head, as well as on the temples up to three centimeters. At the crown, the length is left up to eight centimeters, and it smoothly turns into a bang with the same length.

As you can see, the strands are superimposed on one another, while creating the effect of layering, which allows girls to look a little softer and more romantic. Besides, such a hairstyle can be easily converted into a protruding one. To do this, you just need to lubricate the bangs with styling gel.

This option is more suitable for curly hair. To do it, you only need to take scissors and cut your hair the same everywhere. Their length should be approximately three centimeters. This haircut option will make the girl more romantic and feminine.

A punk-style hairstyle is obtained by using a strong hold gel and varnish. Hair must be lifted up to make a "mohawk", and then fix everything with varnish. Alternatively, you can create the appearance of chaos. To do this, the hair must be styled in different directions.

To style your hair properly you will need some styling products:

• hairspray with different fixation;
• styling gel;
• mousse or foam.

When using the listed substances, it must be remembered that they need to be used quite carefully, since all styling products dry out the hair too much, after which it becomes more brittle and dry. In this case, you will need additional hair restoration products.

So, there are several styling options that need to be considered in more detail.

Styling your hair on a daily basis is quite problematic, especially if there is absolutely no time for this. But such a haircut as "hedgehog" does not require special efforts from the girls. For this kind of styling, you just need to wash your hair, and then apply a little gel to your hair and just tousle your hair.

Of course, you can even go on a date with such a haircut. To add femininity and romance, you can use the same products as for everyday styling, but you will need to style your hair more neatly (like a woman). In addition, you can use various accessories to look attractive, such as a bright ribbon or a beautiful brooch.

And to give the haircut volume, it is necessary to apply a special powder to the hair at the very roots. After that, the hair must be dried with a hair dryer and a round comb. This should be done in the correct direction of hair growth. Then they need to be twisted with an iron from the very roots to the ends. Each strand must be secured with a strong hold varnish.

This styling method is more suitable for an elongated classic haircut. In this case, you can show some imagination. Apply styling gel to the entire length of the hair, and then dry it with a hair dryer. This will create the effect of wet hair sticking out.

Apply mousse to your hair, and then comb it back. This will emphasize not only the beauty of the hair and forehead, but also the facial features. You can also complement the look using large earrings and a beautiful classic dress.

Summing up, we can say that haircut "hedgehog" can be quite varied and unusual. A girl can easily go with such a hairstyle to work and to a restaurant. The only thing you need is proper styling.
