Haircuts based on the face shape
The first thing you should remember
is that you should always take the shape of your face into consideration when
choosing a short haircut. If you are a fan of super trendy pixies, this haircut
is perfect for most face shapes including oval, square, round and heart-shaped
faces.
Another trendy short haircut is a
bob with bangs and it works great on oval, heart and long face shapes. A long
bob with a length bellow your chin looks great on heart-shaped faces. If you
have a round face, the recommendation is to avoid jaw-length bobs.
Short hairstyles and hair products
When it comes to styling your short haircut, you can use many hair products
including wax, wet gel, styling lotion pomade and gel wax. It all depends on
the styling you want to achieve. Another advice is to use volumizing styling
products if you have short hair. In simple terms, these haircuts need volume
otherwise they will not look flattering. You can opt for styling mousse, spray
or powder. Remember to apply the volumizing styling products near the root.
When it comes to basic hair products, use products which moisturize and
condition your scalp. Dandruff is much more visible if you have short hair.
Curling short hair
We have said that you always need to
add extra volume to short hair. One way of doing it is curling your hair. If
you use a curling iron, consider using one with 2.5 cm diameter. Another advice
is to leave the ends straight otherwise curls can stick out from your head and
it does not look good if you have short hair.

Make sure you use a good quality
curling iron which has level temperature setting. Make sure you use a good quality curling iron which has level temperature setting. The top curling irons are Cloud Nine, Revlon, Sultra, Conair and Remington. You can curl your short hair with bobby pins. Wrap the section of your hair round your finger and secure the curl with a bobby pin.
Short hair accessories
It is a fact you cannot do much with
short hair. However, accessories come in handy so that you can change your hairstyle completely. Embellish
your short hairstyle with flower hair pins. Add a vintage appeal to your outfit
by adding some antique inspired hair combs and headbands.

Bow hair clips also look great on
short hair. If you are looking for edgy look, try one of Fascinators. Antique
looking barrettes look very chic on short hair.
What to avoid
There are some common mistakes women
who have short hair make. For example, even though you should use the styling
products we recommended, do not overdo it. You do not want to get too slick
with a gel. Do not apply to much heat. Split ends do not look flattering on
short hair. Avoid those hairstyle which have extra volume at the crown. It
simply looks old-fashioned.
We hope these styling tips can help
you properly style your short hair. Pay attention to the tips we gave and enjoy
your trendy short hairstyle.
