Hairstyles for Short Hair

Hairstyles for short hair need to be kept fresh and innovative. Try dressing up your hairstyles for short hair with these three versatile hair accessories.

Hairstyles for short hair can be instantly dressed up with a variety of accessories that short hair showcases beautifully. Here are three of our favorite accessories that can add a dash of pizzazz to those hairstyles forshort hair on a boring, ho-hum or even bad-hair day:

Headbands. When you put on a headband, you give your face an immediate contrast color, something that’s highly attractive. It can be a color that matches your eyes or your clothing or that draws attention to your highlights or lowlights. Headbands today are sold in a multiple array of widths, colors and materials, or you can even improvise your own headband with a favorite scarf or handkerchief. If you’re having trouble growing your bangs out, a headband brings instant relief. A black velvet headband looks particularly swanky on most hairstyles for short hair.

Flowers. One exotic flower placed above the ear or at the base of a ponytail adds an elegant touch to those hairstyles for short hair. You can buy some incredible silk flower clips online in a tropical rainbow of colors – from pink orchids to periwinkle flowers. If you opt for real flowers, don’t apply them to your hairstyle just before the event or until you are ready to leave in order to slow down the wilting process. Also, consult your hairdresser about the best hair flowers. Some flower petals will fade or drop too soon, but others are sturdier, like roses or daisies.

Barrettes. With all of the barrette options out there today, you don’t have any excuse to not have some on hand to improve your hairstyles for short hair within seconds. You can experiment with a whole range, from kids’ plastic barrettes to Swarovski crystal barrettes. Butterfly barrettes, topaz barrettes or pearl barrettes can add a hint of glamour to your night out. Just go with your mood or style: polished natural wood barrettes for that linen dress, tiny flower barrettes for an afternoon picnic, or an array of colorful metallic barrettes with a crazy tie-dyed T-shirt.

Whether you pop on a headband, pin on a flower or part your hair with a barrette, just adding that one small accessory can make a world of difference to your hairstyles for short hair. And you may even hear him asking, “Hey, what’s different today? Did you do something to your hair?”

Classy Men’s Short Hairstyles and a Few to Avoid

While longer hair is in, there’s always room for the traditional men’s short hairstyles that look better every year.

Men’s short hairstyles are slightly on the wane at the moment, displaced by lean, long hair down to the collarbone. However, there are still some timeless, good-looking men’s hairstyles that will never go out of style. Regardless of the haircut, make sure the styling looks as natural and as accidental as possible. Then trend for both women’s and men’s hairstyles this season is a played-down, toned-down image that conveys, “I didn’t fuss over this one.” Even if you spend hours in front of the mirror trying to achieve the perfect hairdo, the final product should look like you spent less than 10 minutes on it.

Men’s short hairstyles look good at work and in most professional environments. Generally good all-around trims are the best. Hair should be trimmed short all over and not left too long on the top or very short or shaved on the sides, lest the man in question end up with the proverbial mushroom haircut.

The bangs can be checked with a side part or, if short, can be combed down for a modern Caesar look. If you’re thinking along George Clooney lines, that’s correct. Either of these men’s short hairstyles still works this season.

Additionally, the tousled bedhead look in men’s short hairstyles is not yet passé, so don’t get rid of your hair gel or styling wax just yet. You can still highlight your hair for more of a surfer look, or try home sun-bleaching with lemon juice. However, darker hair and lowlights are currently king, so you may want to go down that path.

Men’s short hairstyles to avoid would include any Dennis Rodman imitation, any attempt at combing over the billiard ball, and any haircut resembling an inverted mixing bowl unless you specifically want to wind up in a book like James Innes Smith and Henrietta Webb’s “Bad Hair.” If you want to sport a mohawk of any sort, do so at your own risk, as in the United Kingdom it was recently voted one of the worst hairstyles of all time.

How to avoid these monstrosities? Communication with your hairdresser prior to any hair cutting is key, and it really helps taking along a visual aid of any of the men’s short hairstyles you would like to see in your own mirror. If you don’t have a hairdresser you like, look at your friends, decide who has the best haircut and ask for a recommendation.
