- Understand that different hair styles and hair textures complement different face shapes. Especially with short hair, it's important to pick a style that complements your face. Short hair styles tend to be flattering for people with oval, rectangular, round, square, triangular and diamond-shaped faces. Short hair can have any kind of volume (or lack of volume, for that matter) and still look good, depending on the cut.
- Make sure you have mousse and gel, two popular styling products that are popular for short hair. To add volume, mousse is your best bet. Mousse is also great for controlling annoying fly-aways or holding hair down from humidity and frizz. To make spikes, you're better off using gel. Gel is also great for thicker hair, because it provides more of a hold.
Regarding flat irons and curling irons, there are many styles you can create from these two hair tools. This look is especially cute: Wash your hair and let it dry naturally. Rub some curl-enhancing lotion into your hair and then use a medium-barreled curling iron to create bouncy curls. Add serum to the ends of your hair to avoid frizz. If you want cute, straight hair, do the same but use a ceramic flat iron on your hair.
You can even significantly change the style of your hair with a comb. A simple part can make a drastic difference in how your hair looks. Popular parts include zig-zag, side, center and diagonal. - If searching for a style that instantly adds a new look, try bangs. Whether your style already has bangs or you're looking to add some, you can never go wrong with bangs. Short hair looks great with fringe, wispy side-swept, blunt, parted, choppy and asymmetrical bangs.
- Embrace versatility. Short hair can be extremely versatile and low-maintenance. One day you style your hair in the messy, "bedhead" look. Another day, you could rub some mousse in your hair and blow dry it messy for a beachy look. Or you could straighten it to look professional or casual. You can spike it, curl it, add cute hair clips, or style your short hair in little ponytails.
