Styling Short Hair Tips - 2009

How To Style Short Hair - 2009 Hair Tips

Going to a short haircut is always a nervy experience! When the hair is gone, you are stuck with it until it grows back (unless you can afford a nice wig, of course!). The best way to get your nerve for your short cut is to have a clear plan. Get a few opinions from your stylist and friends about your face shape. Is your bone structure suitable for your new short style?
Also, there are many software programs out there that allow you to take a photo of yourself and superimpose a photo of a radically different hairstyle on top of it, and these digital aids are a smart way to test new looks. This kind of preparation can end up saving you money, and if you really can’t afford a computer of a digital photo, you can still use a copier to get a black and white sample of a photo of yourself made, and then draw on it with a pen!

After you have used photo retouching to test your look, resolve yourself! Get in there and just remember the ultimate motto of every stylist who ever took a chance - it will grow back! Then, while the new style is being applied, do not hold back or deviate from your plan. A big change can only work if you go through with it. Don’t stop in the middle of the session. Finally, if the style needs adjustment, don’t be afraid to try again. If your inverted bob isn’t working, try a standard bob.

Bangs are Back!

Short Hairstyles Blog presents the Topic: Bangs are Back!

Over the years, bangs have come and gone, but right now they are definitely one of the hottest hair trends around. Bangs are a flirty way to add some flair to your hairstyle no matter what ‘do you currently wear.

The sexiest bangs are those that hang long and are swept off to the side. When parted to one side, the bangs should still hang low enough to cover one eye. This playful, girly style looks great with virtually any haircut, even those cropped short. A few people are also starting to bring back bangs that hang straight across the forehead. When kept at least to eyebrow length, these create a polished, chic look on straight styles.

However, girls with textured hair should still avoid this look. Other ways to spice up your bangs are to have them angled or razored for a choppy look. This adds some creativity and individuality to your style. Bangs even look great when the rest of your hair is tied up.

In fact, they can help soften your face and mask a long forehead when the rest of the hair is up out of the way. So, if you want to make a simple, yet sexy, change to your style, consider seeing your stylist about getting bangs tailored to your look.

Hairstyles for Damaged Hair

Short Hairstyles Blog presents Hairstyles for Damaged Hair

There are many causes for damaged hair. Using hot styling tools, brushing too hard, or frequently dying hair are all major culprits and can leave you with dull, dry, brittle locks. However, having damaged hair does not mean you can’t look your best. There are several hairstyles that will help hide your lifeless locks as they heal and return to their healthy state.

First, if your hair is excessively damaged and contains a lot of split ends, you will want to consider getting a shorter cut. Short hair can instantly make damaged hair look healthier because it removes a lot of the frizzy, dry ends. After a cut, you will want to choose a style that works with your natural texture. Trying to curl or straighten damaged hair will only make the problem worse. Instead, choose moisturizing styling products that work with your hair. Also, opt for styles that let hair hang down.

Tying hair up is one cause of breakage and will do harm to already weakened hair. The same is true for tight headbands or braids. Additionally, you will want to avoid coloring damaged hair until it has recovered. If you absolutely can’t live with roots showing, just touch up the necessary spots as they grow out.

Winter Proofing Hair Tips

Short Hairstyles Blog presents Winter Proofing Hair Tips

As we get nearer to the cold weather of winter, it may be time to consider ways to prepare your hair for the conditions ahead. The winter season frequently means cold temperatures, precipitation, winds, and, ultimately, locks that are left dull and lifeless. However, by preparing in advance, you can ensure your ‘do looks healthy and sexy all winter long. First, trim away any split ends you already have.

During the winter, hair is more prone to breakage, and split ends can cause locks to split and break more easily. You should also cut back on heated styling products. These can do damage and leave hair weak and brittle before winter begins. Cold air also means more fly-aways due to negative ions in the air. A mild shampoo will help you remove these ions and cut back on frizz. Additionally, winter is a time when dry hair reigns supreme. Add some extra moisture now with a weekly deep conditioning treatment so your strands are ready for the dry spell ahead. Finally, consider fortifying your hair from the inside with a winter-ready diet. Pack in some more protein and you’re sure to grow stronger hair by winter. Add in an adequate amount of water, and they will stay extra-hydrated as well.

The most common look involves cutting short hair into choppy layers. A razor blade can be used to add edgy texture to the cut. Also, long bangs should be left in front. When parted to the side, they will cover one eye creating a distinctively emo style. Also, a short emo cut looks best when styled sleek and straight.

This look can be achieved with a straightening iron and some shine serum. Adding color and highlights can help a short look seem more expressive of your personal style. As with other emo cuts, the base color should be dark, like black or very deep brown.

Then, pretty much any color can be added in streaks, chunks, or subtle highlights to achieve the desired look. To change up your look, consider letting longer pieces grow out a little around the sides. You can also use wax or gel to mess up the back of your hair and give it a bit more depth.

Hair Care for Colored Hair

Short Hairstyles presents Hair Care for Colored Hair

Hair that has been color treated requires special care to maintain the new shade and prevent damage. The easiest thing you can do is switch to a shampoo and conditioner duo specially designed for color-treated hair. When you finish washing, avoid wrapping hair in a towel. This can do damage to locks that may be brittle following a color treatment.

Skip the brush and comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb. This will prevent breakage and help you avoid split ends. If you use heated styling products, make sure you treat hair with a heat protecting spray first. Also, since color can fade in the sun, it’s a good idea to cover your hair with a hat or scarf when you are outside for a long period. If these accessories don’t suit your style, try using a color-protective leave-in conditioner. If you plan to go swimming, try spraying some purified water on your hair before you get in a chlorinated pool. This will help protect your color from the harsh chemicals in the water. Without special care, your gorgeous new color may fade too quickly, or, even worse, you could do damage to your sensitive locks.

How to Maintain a Short Haircut

How to Maintain a Short Haircut

Everyone knows that keeping hair looking great requires some effort. Thankfully, if you have a short cut, styling and washing take less time and products than your long-haired peers. However, you still have a few important things to do to maintain your short ‘do. For one, frizz can be much more noticeable on someone with short hair. To prevent this problem, finish your style with a glossy anti-frizz spray. Also, you should avoid over-washing your hair as this can make it seem dull or result in damage, like split ends.



Washing every two to three days will ensure that your locks stay healthy so you won’t need to trim damaged ends off your already short ‘do. While trimming too often may make your hair too short, waiting too long between cuts is much more noticeable on a short style. As hair grows, you will likely lose the texture and shape you originally had. So, consult your stylist frequently for a touch-up. Your stylist can also help you choose the right products for your individual look. Be sure not to use too much product, as it will build up quickly on those with less hair. If you follow these simple tips, your short ‘do will keep looking fabulous and show off your gorgeous style.

Short Razor Cut Hairstyles

Short Hairstyles presents Short Razor Cut Hairstyles

Razored hairstyles are extremely popular among women who want a more textured look to their locks. Using a razor to cut hair adds shape and creates blunt ends. It can also help thin out thick hair. All of these are great features for short haircuts. Thus, many women are now sporting short, razor cut hairstyles.
Short Razor Cut

Razoring hair might seem extreme or even weird. However, in reality, short Razored cuts range from edgy and lively to soft and feminine. When done properly, using a razor will not damage the ends of your hair. Instead, it will give your ends dimension that is frequently lacking with a straight, scissor cut. A razor can also be used to give a short style some gorgeous, face-flattering bangs.

Rather than blunt, boring bangs that hang straight town, a razor makes uneven bangs a sexy addition to a short cut. Razoring can also add layers, which keeps a short look from becoming flat and dull. The key to a successful Razored short cut is to find a qualified stylist and make sure he or she uses a clean, well-sharpened blade. So, if you want to go short, consider how effective a razor cut can be for enhancing your style.
