Cool Ways To Wear Short Hair
I do my hair toss, check my nails…for all the short haired girls that feel they might be missing out on the hair tossing options available for long haired girls, don’t dismay! We are going to show you some cool ways to wear short hair that won’t leave you feeling like you’re missing out. If you have ever said "I have short hair what can I do with it" this guide is for you.
WAYS TO WEAR SHORT HAIR WHEN WORKING OUT
A major pro to having short is that working out with short hair is much easier than with long hair. You don’t even need to tie it up, just run over your style with a tool like the Frizz Defense Straightening Brush so that any flatness when you finish can blend in, no tears needed! A bit of dry shampoo on the roots will zap away any extra oil.
COOL WEEKEND SHORT HAIR
The ultimate cool girl, Lana Kington from Sketch She knows that short hair need not be boring. Get your hairdresser to cut your hair into a bob with a face framing fringe, smile optional. If you have straight hair, use the Frizz Defense Salon Straightener to add a little movement on the ends and mix things up for a chic style.

WAYS TO WEAR SHORT HAIR UP FOR WORK
When you will be at the office all day, be as fly as Christina Hendricks in Mad Men by opting for a side part, pinning any shorter ends back with bobby pins to get a fresh, slicked back look. The key to this style is volume and lift which you can get by using the Digital Sensor Hot Air Styler.
SHORT HAIR AT THE BEACH
If you have short hair at the beach, embrace that salty ocean and let it give your hair natural texture that will leave you with beach waves you will love. When it’s time to head for a cocktail after the beach, roughly dry any wet hair with the 5Q Brilliance High Performance Dryer upside down and embrace those beach hair vibes!
SLEEK SHORT HAIR
If you are well and truly on the short hair bandwagon, go all the way by getting your hairdresser to cut a straight, pixie style like Charlize Theron has here to really highlight your cheekbones. This is a great option for short, fine hair. If you need to make it straighter, brush over with the Frizz Defense Straightening Brush to get a perfectly straight style that will have you turning heads.

SHORT HAIR FOR A WEDDING
If you are going to a wedding nothing looks as sleek and sophisticated from day to night as a straight bob. To get Tay Tay’s style, use a round brush and the 5Q Brilliance High Performance Dryer making sure to lift the brush under the roots. Tucked under ends and a side sweeping fringe complete this stunning wedding style look.
STUNNING WAYS TO WEAR SHORT HAIR UP
If your hair is short but just long enough to wear up, go for a simple chignon style to hide ends that are too short to have in a ponytail. To get this style, use either a hair tie or bobby pin to secure depending on the length. For a smooth finish, try the Digital Sensor Straightener, finish off with hairspray for light hold.
SHORT HAIR WITH A FRINGE
If you have short hair and want to change things up, you can always cut a cute fringe. When it comes to cutting a fringe, there are a lot of gorgeous options. There are blunt cut options, side sweeping, or wispy fringes like the one pictured. Style with the Straight & Curl Brilliance on the ends for relaxed, wavy ends.

SHORT HAIR STYLE TIPS
When styling short hair, look for straightening or curling irons that come in the smallest size available. If you have curly hair and are using a straightener, pick a mini one that is thin enough and use a small comb, working from the underneath layers first.
When using a dryer, don’t forget how much quicker short hair dries, no hour-long blow dry here! In saying that, every time you apply the dryer using a brush you are creating the way the style will sit.
If you’re in a rush, you could either style your hair straight the night before so you will wake up with it done, or just opt for a messy low bun secured with bobby pins. Using hair straighteners to add movement on the ends is a great way of mixing things up for straight tresses.
If you’re going to a wedding, either a smooth half up half down style or straight bob is a great dressy look for a polished finish. Using hair accessories like a jewelled comb or headband is a good way of adding extra detail to your locks.
Don’t forget to wash hair often and keep it super clean, as short hair can look weighed down and show oil faster. Keep it trimmed regularly too as split ends are more noticeable in shorter styles, plus you don’t want people to get confused and think you are ‘growing it out’.
