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.

How to Find a Great Hairstylist

Short Hairstyles presents the topic How to Find a Great Hairstylist?

In order to get a great hairstyle it’s important to choose hairstylist who can transform your hair from being ordinary to extraordinary. If you see someone wearing a really great hairstyle, then ask the name of their hairstylist. Then call up the salon where the hairstylist works. Look around the salon. Is it clean and orderly or is it very dirty. Are there clients or is it nearly empty.

Most salons would have some literature on when they started. Of course word of mouth publicity as well as reputation of the salon will go hand in hand. Chances are that if it’s a good salon that has good hairstylists, then you would have heard of the place. Look at the products been used. Are they professional hair care products or are some bottles just kept on the shelves? Talk to the customers that are present. In this way you can gauge whether the hairstylist is of repute or not.
Schedule an appointment for a haircut. If the hairstylist asks the right questions about the texture of your hair, whether it has coloring or not and other such relevant questions, then the hairstylist certainly knows his or her job.

Short Hair Decisions

Short Hair Decisions

There are many important things to consider if you want to cut your hair first. For one, you need to determine who is going to cut your hair. Your regular stylist may be great for your longer ‘dos, but is he or she experienced with short cuts?

If the answer is no, you will have to find someone who is qualified to create your new style. Try asking your current stylist for a recommendation, or talk to friends who have short hair. If that fails, you can call local salons to see if they have a short hair specialist. Once you’ve picked a great stylist, he or she can help you with some other vital considerations. You need to decide how short you want your hair to be. Short styles can range from a short, boyish crop to a longer bob. The length you choose should reflect your personality and style while complimenting your facial features. Also, you need a style that reflects the amount of effort you can put into maintaining it. Most short ‘dos are easy to manage, but some can require special products or tools to create the desired look. You should also consider other features, like bangs and highlights, which might add to your short cut. With all these decisions made, you are ready for the scissors to start working their magic!

Short Hair - Pixie Cut

Short Hairstyles presents Short Hair- Pixie Cut

Short hair is one of the trendiest styles around. More and more women are cutting off their locks sporting short ‘dos. Some are even choosing to go extra-short. These women are showing off the “pixie cut,” a short hair trend that is on the rise. This look is achieved by cropping hair short around the ears and adding lots of choppy layers around the crown and neck.

The look also requires side-swept bangs that can be either long or short. Styling the cut can go one of two ways. Some women choose to go sleek and straight. They keep the cut flat and dress it up with shine serums to make it gleam. Others prefer a more natural look. They let their hair show texture with waves and curls. Sometimes this means using wax or gel to get the desired look. Either look is gorgeous when styled properly.

The pixie cut also looks great with subtle highlights. This can add dimension to the look and make the cut livelier. Pins, clips, and barrettes also dress up the pixie look and are a great choice for special occasions. Ultimately, the pixie cut is deceptively versatile and can be presented in a variety of chic and sexy ways.

Short Razored Bob

Short Hairstyles presents Short Razored Bob

The short razored bob is an increasingly popular hair style, especially with people who want to keep a short - yet stylish - hair style. More recently, a good number of celebrities in the movie and music industries have adopted this hair style, further fueling its popularity.
All razored bob hairstyles are defined by layering. In the short razored bob hairstyle, hair is cut short, chipped using different razor calibers (to create the layers), with the ends cut and further razored, ultimately creating a stylish coarse feel.

The short razored bob is ideal for people with 'longish' shaped faces. It is particularly good for people with oval and oblong shaped faces. This is because it complements their natural looks, by subtly accentuating the length, which is considered pretty. The short razored bob is also good for square faced people. In the square faced people, the short razored bob serves as a frame, enhancing their natural good looks.
The short razored bob is not particularly expensive to acquire and maintain. Neither is it overly conspicuous. It gives you the chance to appear stylish while maintaining short hair - especially if your job calls for short hair. This is where you don't want to lose the job - but neither do you want to lose your 'look.'

Short Hair Stereotypes

Short Hairstyles presents Short Hair Stereotypes
I recently met a woman bank teller who was clean-shave. I confess that her unconventional clean-shaven image did in a great way influence my perception of her, and how I ended up dealing with her was somewhat different from how I could have otherwise dealt with her.
Welcome to the world of short-hair stereotypes. Whether you are a man or woman, and choose to keep short hair, you will be subject to some common short hair stereotypes.
For a man, keeping a short hair shows that you are a conformist (in most societies). Indeed going for a job-interview in certain professions, especially those that require a high degree of conformity with a long hair is a sure recipe for failure. In most societies, short hair is seen as the norm for men, whereas conscipicously long hair is seen as a deviation or at least some form of statement for a man.

For women, it is the other way round. Long hair is seen as the norm for women in most societies, and short hair is seen as some sort of deviation. Women who keep short hair are seen as extremely independent, and maybe bookish. The assumption of independence stems from the idea that for a woman to keep short hair, she must be somehow uninfluenced by societal expectations and opinions. The bookish assumption on the other hand stems from the idea that women who are deeply academically inclined may not have the time for elaborate hair styles, hence their choice of short hair, which is easier to maintain.
