3 Fun ways to style short hair

Short hair is in this winter. If the runways were any indication, a lot of length is about to be lost before the weather warms up. Whether you currently have a close-cropped cut or you’re planning on taking the plunge and going with shorter strands, we have some hair tips for how to style your ultra-trim tresses.

Simple & chic

If you have fairly close-cropped hair, you can add interest to your look with a few simple changes. A pretty pixie cut usually means wash and go, but why not get a little more creative. Here's how.

Get the look:

Use a small amount of volumizing spray all over to give hair some extra body and a few drops of argan or monoi oil for shine .
Blow dry everything from the crown forward with a round brush while keeping the ends straight and flat.
Finish by directing the hair to one side.

Tousled & textured

Short hair need not be boring – especially this season. One of the best ways to keep things interesting and eye-catching is with texture on the top. It's also a versatile hairstyle for a variety of face shapes .

Get the look:

Start by working some mousse through your hair, being sure to cover the entire head.
Then finger dry while lifting the roots at the top off the head, adding volume as you go.
Finish with some texturizing paste for definition and add a quick blast of heat from your blow dryer to ensure all-day hold.

The result is a freshened up look with texture and volume on top .

Big & beautiful

For anyone with a choppy, chin-length bob, we suggest adding sex appeal and lots of extra volume.

Get the look:

Use some volumizing spray on the roots and some smoothing serum on the length for shine and softness.
Start with the sides and, using a round brush without lifting the roots, blow dry the hair down and straight .
Once hair is almost dry, start to increase volume at the roots.
Blow the front forward then redirect it to one side and finish with a little hairspray on the brush for light hold.
