Hairstyles for very short hair: ideas and stages of creation
Only brave girls and women who decide to say goodbye to long curls decide for a short haircut. Despite the strong belief that a short haircut is youthful, this is a controversial statement. And even a few extra centimeters and a slightly different haircut model - and the images will be conflicting: one will fit perfectly, the second will not be successful. Therefore, when choosing a haircut, the main thing is to find a hairdresser who will see if it suits you. And he will also offer several styling options.
Texture
Very short hair - this is a garcon haircut, as well as some types of pixie. These women's haircuts don't go out of style: their wave-like popularity is stable, but some styling approaches are changing. Even with short hair, you can almost always do something new - for example, change the hairstyle by creating a new texture.
To create this styling you need the right styling: mousse, wax or hair foam. Dry wet, clean hair with a towel, do not comb, leave to dry as it is. When they are dry, apply hair foam on them and create texture, accentuating certain strands.
If your haircut can be called layered, then for a textured hairstyle, difficulties are not foreseen. You can focus on the bangs, highlight it with wax. In the 2000s, it was popular to highlight the hair of the back of the head, raised up. At the same time, it was important to create the effect of voluminous, but slightly damp hair.
An ideal example of such a hairstyle is the styling of Yulia Volkova, the lead singer of the Tatu group. Anyone who was impressed by this hairstyle can be congratulated: styling like this is returning to fashion.
Emphasis on bangs
Pixie with elongated bangs is a fashionable sign of our time.
For women with bright facial features, this hairstyle can be the best compliment. It is suitable for owners of thick hair, and for those who are a little less fortunate with volume.
If you have found your perfect styling, it will not take more than half an hour to create a beautiful styling (and this is taking into account that you will have to wash your hair).
Step by step, everything is simple:
- wash your hair with a usual means;
- apply on them the fixing foam that is optimal for your hair structure;
- dry your hair with a large round comb, making the bangs voluminous;
- if the hair is very frizzy, slightly remove this effect with an iron - especially in the area of the bangs;
- and then you have a choice: if you just want to give shine to elongated strands, do not regret for them a lotion with a shine effect;
- if you want to highlight the texture, braid several thin braids right on the bangs (not completely turn the entire bangs into braids, but only a few strands), then you will loose them, and the hair will become textured;
- you can twist the bangs if it has already reached the chin or more.
You can use accessories to draw attention to your bangs. For example, a headscarf - it seems that it is a twisted scarf, but in fact it is a hoop, which is very convenient. Part of the bangs can be released over the face, and often tucked behind the rim. This look requires bright makeup and emphasis on the eyes.
Boho style
A great option if you have a short pixie, but the volume of hair and the length of the bangs allows you to experiment. You can style your hair in a boho aesthetic: this styling will look great both as a hairstyle for a celebration, and as a cute look for a home photo shoot.
How to make a boho styling with your own hands.
- Wash your hair and apply your favorite fixing agent to slightly damp strands.
- Dry your hair with a hair dryer with a round coarse comb, having done a side part in advance.
- If your whiskey is shaved, then dry so that one part of your head completely exposes the shaved area. Dry with curling the bangs up, this is necessary for the future volume of the hairstyle.
- And now the simplest and most important begins: shift your hair to the side where the parting usually separates most of the hair. Thanks to the pre-styling, the curls are already voluminous, and the styling does not allow the volume to collapse. Select a few strands and weave a braid, tight, so that then you can release a few hairs from the braid, and it becomes flat, but wide. Fasten the braid with "invisible". Braid one or two thin pigtails nearby and also fasten it with "invisibility".
- The bangs should not fall on the face, so you pin it up with “invisible” ones too - a little carelessly, lightly, along the oval of the face. From above, you can fix the result with varnish.
Very fast and very beautiful!
Retro curls
There are many variations of such hairstyles. Younger and older, they are easy to do at home. If the haircut is very short, but there is still some kind of bangs, you can make vintage curls that look stylish, austere and sexy at the same time.
You just need to wash your hair using a shampoo or mask with reflective particles. Next, you should take a styling gel with medium hold with the effect of wet hair. Knead and warm it up in your palms, and then gently walk through all your hair, avoiding bangs. The bangs should be twisted with the help of the gel, make a small wave right above the level of the forehead. If the volume cannot be made right away, you must first dry the bangs with a hairdryer so that it "stands" well, and then finalize it with gel.
For such a hairstyle, you need not necessarily bright, but always subtle, perfectly executed makeup. You can highlight your eyebrows using a special gel. For girls who are going to the office, for an exam, an interview is a great option.
Greek hairstyle
Greek hairstyles for very short hair are a good option for a celebration. They look so hard to guess how long your hair really is.
The strands need to be washed, fluff removed with special products for Asian smoothness. Further, if the hair is naturally curly, it must be fixed with wax or foam. If the hair is straight, then you can slightly curl it with an iron. Then the curls are laid in a direction towards the back of the head, all in one direction, obedient and similar to each other. Put on a headband (thin, satin) two to three centimeters from the hairline. Fix the hairstyle well with varnish.
Curls
A great option for pixies, as well as for women with curly hair. Parting curls in one direction should be as short as possible (shaved or very short-cropped sides). The same side, where there is a lot of hair, is wound in the usual way: curlers, iron, curling iron. Curls should not be very large.
Fixation is carried out with foam or hairspray. If the hair is naturally voluminous and curly, you can do with just one gel - with its help, natural obedient curls will be formed. All movements should be light so that the hair remains airy.
An obligatory attribute of such an image is a self-sufficient make-up, large earrings. The hairstyle looks great on the updated hair color with overflowing shades.
Ultra short haircut
If the haircut is really very short, and there is no long bangs, as well as a special volume, you need to "play" with styling products and accessories. Ten years ago, Victoria Beckham showed the world a lesson on how to make a short haircut an icon of elegance, style and perfection.
