How to style short hair at home

It often seems to you that with your shoulder-length hair it is difficult to come up with some stylish and unusual styling. So every time you just blow dry your hair. For nothing more, there is simply not enough imagination and patience. But in fact, there are a huge number of hairstyles for short hair that you can repeat at home on your own, without much effort and without spending a lot of time.

In our article today you will find many photo instructions to help you style your short hair easily. There are evening hairstyles and simple ideas for every day that do not even require additional styling products.

The principles of creating styling

Short hair gives a lot of room to experiment with styling. The short length allows you to comb them in almost any direction and order. But still, there are basic principles, knowing which you can create an individual hairstyle.

• "Flame". With this styling method, all hairs tend to the top. With such a hairstyle, there will be no problems for owners of short haircuts. They can simply be laid using special tools, directing each strand from bottom to top. If the hair length is more than 10 cm, then you will need additional accessories in the form of elastic bands and invisibility.

• "Fountain". Strands fall from one point. Basically, this is the crown itself or a point near it. This option can be easily created with a hair dryer while drying your hair. Leaving the curls straight or giving them a wave depends on the mood of the girl and the image in general.
• Perfect smoothness. The hair is combed back, starting from the forehead. This principle is used in the creation of everyday bows. It can also be used for retro hairstyles.

• Hair on the face. More suitable for beauties with hair no more than 10 cm long. Long strands will be difficult to put up in the back of the head. When using this principle, a very dynamic and stylish image is obtained. Another plus is the ability to lay the strands in the form of a bang, even if initially it was not there.
• On the side. The entire mass of hair is combed to one side. At the same time, you can easily create the desired volume. Such hairstyles with evening dresses look very elegant. Young women of fashion can have a ponytail or braids on one side so that the hairstyle does not fall apart when worn.

• Parting. It can be anywhere. The most popular is the longitudinal parting in the center or on the side. But you can experiment and make a side parting along the line from ear to ear. The strands closest to the forehead should be styled in the form of long bangs to one side, and the remaining hair should be combed back.
• Combined hairstyles. It is impossible to describe all of them, since there can be dozens and even hundreds of options.The fact remains unchanged that the strands in different parts of the head are stacked in different directions.

Hairstyle options

You can create a beautiful hairstyle for short hair even at home, without going to a beauty salon. There are a great many options - some are more complex and require the use of fixing tools, ply pads and other accessories, while others can be done even in the morning a few minutes before going out.

Braids

As a child, mothers braided girls' braids, sending them to kindergarten. They are very practical and do not disintegrate even with active games. But do not think that only young beauties can wear pigtails.

Recently, the popularity of such options for manipulating hair has increased greatly. Current ideas include voluminous French braids.

You can even make them for short hair. They, of course, will not be as long and voluminous as those of the owners of long hair, but this is not a reason to refuse them altogether.

French braids... If your hair is 10 cm or more, you can try braiding a French braid. You should start to weave from the forehead, gradually weaving more and more new strands. Approaching the back of the head, you need to secure the braid with an elastic band or invisibility. The remaining length can be left loose. Then you need to stretch the woven strands a little, creating the volume of the braid.
Do not forget that the peculiarity of the French braid lies in the specific method of weaving. As a result, it turns out that the braid, as it were, lies on top of the bulk of the hair.

In beauty salons, you can make long-term braids - dreadlocks, African braids, zizi and other interesting options. Their main advantage is the absence of the need to style curls every day. But the hairstyle will require correction after a few months, as the strands invariably grow back.

This method is good because you can instantly increase the length of your hair, and not wait for it to grow back naturally.

Thin pigtails. It is not recommended to braid the entire mass of hair into thin pigtails. But there is another option. It is used to create Scandinavian hairstyles. To do this, you need to style your hair, giving it volume at the roots and creating a light wave along the length. Then beat the strands with your hands from bottom to top. Now, in random order, braid about 15 thin braids all over the head. They should be secured with inconspicuous silicone rubber bands.

Bunches

Careless

This hairstyle will not take long. Having understood the basic principles of its creation, you can do it every day or create real evening hairstyles.

Many girls make one critical mistake when creating a beam. They are trying to achieve perfect smoothness and do not add volume to the strands at the crown. For this reason, it is worth considering creating a messy bun for short hair step by step.

1. First of all, you need to blow dry your hair by beating it or using a diffuser. Voluminous and slightly wavy strands will look much more beautiful and natural in your hairstyle.
2. Then you need to separate not very much of the hair near the forehead. Do not touch them yet.
3. After that, you need to arm yourself with a fine comb and comb the hair on the crown. After that, you need to collect them in a tail at the top of the head or closer to the back of the head. Do not strive for perfect smoothness - volume should remain on the crown. It is not at all scary if some strands stick out a little or be knocked out of the tail. In the future, they can be laid with the help of invisible ones or left free.
4. Depending on the length of the resulting tail, you can make a tourniquet and wrap it around the elastic. The end should be secured with invisibility and hidden under the base of the tail.
5. The strands remaining near the forehead need to be curled a little with an iron, then laid back, tucking the ends under the bump.
6. To fix the hairstyle, you should slightly sprinkle the hair with varnish or spray. Do not keep the product close to your hair - it should be sprayed at a distance of about 30 cm.

Simple bundle

Another way to diversify the bun is to combine it with braids. They are braided from the strands left around the forehead. It is also necessary to fill them under the bundle itself.

1. The simplest and most uncomplicated is a bun, collected from the entire mass of hair. To do this, it is most convenient to tilt your head forward and collect the tail at the top of the head. This way, all hair can be pulled into a ponytail and left with volume at the crown.
2. To add volume to the bun itself, you can use a special hair bagel. To do this, you need to put it on top of the elastic and put the strands under it if the hair is very short. If the length allows, then you can distribute the curls around the circumference of the donut and put on a thin silicone elastic band on top.
3. The ends need to be twisted into small flagella and tucked under the bagel.

Two bundles

This option is suitable for young beauties and those who want to give their look a playfulness. To create it, the hair is divided into two equal parts with a longitudinal parting. Then you need to create beams in the above way, but not on the top of the head, but on the sides, above the level of the ears.

Tails

Such hairstyles can differ in volume, and in height, and in the number of these same tails. It is worth noting that for girls with very short hair, this option will be unacceptable - it is almost impossible to build a full-fledged tail from a hair length of less than 10 cm.

Everyone knows how beautiful and elegant long tails made at the back of the head look. But don't despair if your hairstyle is short. Even in this case, you can create a hairstyle with a ponytail.

The variant with two ponytails on the back of the head looks unusual and very playful. To do this, part your hair with a straight part. Starting from the forehead, you need to twist loose bundles or pigtails. When you get to the back of your head, secure them with silicone rubber bands, leaving small ponytails free.

In order for them to look aesthetically pleasing, the ends can be curled with an iron or curling iron.

Loose hair

Considering the basic principles of creating hairstyles for short hair, almost all possible styling options for loose hair are described above.

It is worth noting just some of the features that can affect the final result.

• Volume. Do not forget about its creation even during drying. If the required volume does not work out, you can use a fine comb and brush hair strand by strand.
• Waves or curls. Depending on what to choose - soft curls or elastic curls - the final result will also depend. In the first case, the image will be more elegant and restrained, and in the second - more daring and dynamic.

• Straight hair. It is not necessary to shape the hair into curls or curls to create a styling. Straight strands laid in a certain direction look no less impressive. For perfect evenness, you can use an iron.

There are several of the most popular styling for loose hair. They are versatile and easy to create.

French chic

Apply foam or mousse to slightly damp hair. It is necessary to dry, creating volume at the roots. The strands themselves should be creased a little, moving from the bottom up. Thus, you will get light careless waves. The resulting hairstyle should be lightly fluffed up with your hands.

To create accent strands, you must use gel or wax. Apply the product to your fingers, rub and go over the selected strands, separating them from the bulk of the hair. In this case, you can twist them a little in the desired direction.

Straight hair with volume

To keep straight hair neatly styled, divide it into two sections. Straightening should start from the bottom. A small fleece of the upper strands will give the desired volume without varnish.

Braid woven into loose hair

Make an indirect part. From the side where there is more hair, take a small strand, as in the photo, and begin to weave a braid, connecting it with part of the hair remaining in front.Finally, secure the end of the braid to the inside of the hair strand with a transparent elastic band to hide it.
