Casual hairstyles for short hair

It takes courage to wear a short haircut. It will not be possible to simply collect it in a tail or a bunch, if you are too lazy to put it or there is no time. A short haircut requires grooming and styling, most often daily, otherwise the hairstyle will turn into a "nest" on the head.

Another difference from long hair is the systematic correction in the salon. You will need to shape, trim the bottom line and bangs (if any).

It is erroneous to believe that you cannot experiment with a short length by stacking it in different ways. Say, they cut their hair under the "bob", and go with it. This is not the case, and this article provides examples of simple and effective everyday hairstyles based on short hair.

Having settled on a short haircut, many women believe that it is not necessary to style it, it is enough to dry it with a hairdryer. This is absolutely not the case, on the contrary, if long hair can be braided into a braid, gathered in a ponytail, or simply twisted the "muzzle" and avoid the need to style, then short strands will have to be shaped every day, dried with a brush, pulled out strands, disassembled curls - it depends on the haircut.

Pixies on your head, bob or bob - but they will have to be styled step by step, otherwise all the efforts of the hairdresser will be nullified.

However, a short haircut has its own specifics, in order to create a beautiful styling on its basis, you need to act in accordance with a number of rules.

The first rule is choosing the right styling. If you are creating a sleek hairstyle, you need products to enhance shine, lock in strands and straighten them.

If you need curls, you need mousse or spray to shape them.

When a haircut has an uneven, asymmetrical edge, the hair should be styled in a way that emphasizes it using a styling tool.

And, of course, any styling product should be selected according to your hair type. To prevent fine hair from frizzing and looking like a "dandelion", you need a spray to pacify them.

To prevent curly strands from turning their owner into a lamb, use a mousse for texturing curly hair.

If all the products are chosen correctly (you should also use a ruler for your hair type to wash your hair), creating a beautiful hairstyle is not difficult.

If you are using a balm or mask, make sure your hair is rinsed well afterwards so that the strands do not look heavy and greasy.

In addition, girls with oily scalp should use a special scrub once every 2 weeks. It rinses the area of ​​the hair roots, removes the keratinized particles from the scalp. Thus, your mane looks even more voluminous and well-groomed.

The second rule is clean hands and clean damp hair. If you are creating a messy style, you need foam or mousse, as well as a hairdryer. If you want a smooth, mirror-shine hairstyle, you will need a smoothing product, a round brush and a hair dryer. Hair needs to be dried pulling down with a brush, after applying thermal protection. Each strand stretches in the same direction.

After the hair is completely dry, a shine-imparting agent is applied to the hair.

The third rule directly follows from the second - you will have to wash your head every day. The shorter the hair, the more often it needs to be washed. Styling on dirty, stale hair is a completely useless exercise, your hair will look untidy.

The fourth rule is that you will have to visit a beauty salon once a month. The haircut needs to be shaped, trimmed, bangs trimmed. If we neglect this, then the hairstyle will look sloppy, careless, it will not be that deliberate “negligence” with which you can do styling. If your haircut is with bangs, there are even more styling options. The bangs can be laid straight, even, fixed to the side, or even removed under the bezel or hair clip.

The first thing to consider when styling short hair is its texture - curly or straight, thin, fluffy or thick, heavy. Depending on these properties, one or another styling method will suit you. If the hair is heavy, then braiding is not your option, the strands will "crumble" and slip out. And even if you manage to collect them in a braid, it will immediately lose its appearance. But if the hair is curly, porous, any braid will last until the evening (or, in the case of a festive event, until the morning).

For curly hair for every day, careless, lush styling is preferable. A sleek hairstyle requires straightening the hair, and this takes time and even harms the head of hair with the use of thermal protection.

With straight hair, the opposite is true - daily curling with hot tongs will not benefit the strands. But various kinds of weaving and bunches, headbands and hairpins can revive the hairstyle and give it additional airiness.

If your hair is frizzy, the easiest and easiest way to style is to dry it with a little styling product for that hair type. Curls will be clearer, shinier. Using the "invisible" hairpins, you can lay a voluminous "malvinka" on the top of the head. In addition, the curls can be collected as you like - with hairpins, a headband, a ribbon. Each time you get a new hairstyle.

A spray with sea salt and a hair dryer on the "cold" setting will help create "beachy" curls on both straight and curly hair. They can be laid on the side, on the parting or back, secured with hairpins or decorated with a rim.

If you overdid it, and nice "springs" have appeared on your head, gently disassemble them with your fingers and tousle them a little. The required volume will immediately appear, and air will be added to the strands.

Styling on one side can be done on any short haircut - from pixie to bob. The only difference is that in the first case, long bangs and hair on the crown are combed to one side and fixed, while short strands at the temples emphasize the asymmetry of the hairstyle, and in the second case, the side strands need to be stabbed to create an asymmetric effect. This styling looks equally beautiful in the daytime and in the evening.

For several years now, retro styling using a silk scarf has remained relevant. It looks very stylish, and besides, it allows you to hide any imperfections (for example, not very neatly pinned hair ends). The scarf can be tied with a knot at the top, front or bottom, depending on your desire. To create a retro hairstyle, you can use a regular scarf, or you can use a special two-layer one, inside which a wire is inserted, so that you can give the scarf the shape you need. This will give you additional options for creating hairstyles.

Bangs can be braided, forming a "basket", braids, bunches and much more - depending on the length of the haircut. A braided "headband" made of pigtails is very popular among young girls; bangs are often used for it. It will also be nice to part your hair in the middle and braid it in a French braid on each side, securing it with invisibility.

These hairstyles will allow you to grow bangs without losing the overall look of your haircut.

Combing the top of the head and twisting the hair at the back of the head into bundles, you can form a semblance of a low bun - you just need to fix them well with hairpins and hairpins.

Provided that the hair keeps the given shape, the headband of braids can be braided even on a “boy's” or “pixie's” haircut.

Another very popular hairstyle is hoop styling. A round rim is put on the head, and the hair from one temple to the other through the bottom is hidden under it. Thus, a "Greek" styling is obtained. Options for such a hairstyle - hair styling not only under the headband, but also under a wide elastic band, ribbon, or even (if you have the appropriate skill) under a silk scarf.

As for evening styling, it is on short hair that the "Hollywood wave" a la the 1930s looks most effective. If you are blonde, with this hairstyle you are guaranteed everyone's attention throughout the event.

At home, you can create a mohawk (of course, if you have a pixie haircut).To do this, the long part of the hair (crown) must be dried upwards using a hairdryer, a brush and a small amount of mousse. Once the hair is completely dry, the hair should be fixed with gel. When the gel dries, apply hairspray to the resulting "mohawk".

With a sufficient amount of skill, even a square can be put into a "shell", however, you need a good fixing agent and a lot of studs. However, this styling always looks very elegant and sophisticated, allowing you to showcase a beautiful neck and shoulders.

Even if you do not know how to handle a hairdryer and a comb (for example, you always wore long hair, and one day you got a square), you can find a lot of photographic materials, videos, clips on how to create different interesting hairstyles based on your haircut. It may take more than one or two days for this, most likely, at first you will not get exactly what is shown in the picture. Over time, however, you will learn to style your hair the way you want, and you will truly enjoy it.

If you categorically cannot master the art of hair styling (and there is nothing shameful in this), and instead of an elegant bob you get a "nest" over and over again, there is a way out. You can do long-term styling in the cabin. Of course, in this case, the chemical composition acts on the strands, but then you will get volume at the roots, curls and forget about the need to worry about your hairstyle for a period from 3 months to six months.

A retro hairstyle with a silk scarf will go with an oval and triangular face.

Deliberately careless styling emphasizes the uneven line of the ends of the hair and adds volume and movement to the hairstyle.
