An Updo For Short Hair – Updo Hairstyles

Short hair can be such a fun way to wear your hair, and with a little effort you can even put your short hair up to create a casual updo.  Depending on the length of your short hair you can pull it all back to create a fun casual look.

One fun way to create a casual short updo is take your bed head, hair that has been slept on and not washed the next morning, and pin it to the crown of your head to create a messy updo.  This style can be a great one if you are running late for the office or if you just want to wake up and go.  With just a few quick steps you can be on your way out the door with out much effort.

You can also create a casual updo with your short hair by again taking pieces of your short hair and pinning the up to the back of your head, but you can also change the look by the use of your bangs.  If you want your bangs to be down you may choose to have them slicked down to the side.  To create this look you can use a wax or pomade to give your bangs that nice sleek look, or if you choose you can pull your bangs back and incorporate them with your updo.  This too will give you a different look that can add volume to your hair.

One last updo hairstyle you can try is twisting small pieces of your hair and then pinning them to the crown of your head.  Take a small amount of hair and twist toward the back of your head, creating small rolls.  Secure each roll with a bobby pin and have both sides of your hair meet in the middle.  Having secured the pieces you can accent them with a beautiful clip.  This twisting look will create a fun casual look that can be worn to the office or dressed up for evening.

Having short hair does not have to limit you in what hairstyles you can try.  Casual updos are a fun way to wear your short hair so why not give them a try?

Your Hairstyle Like Rihanna – Celebrity Hairstyles

Rihanna is a world famous singer who has an amazing unique look.  She has sold millions of records and has enjoyed the whirlwind celebrity lifestyle.  While it is true Rihanna is a striking beauty, before you decide if you want to style your hair like her there are a few things you should take into consideration.

The first thing to consider is Rihanna’s hair type.  She has coarse naturally curly hair.  This can be a wonderful thing, but you will need to consider her hair type in comparison to your own.  Will you be able to create the same look she can with her hair type and texture?

Another thing to consider is her face shape.  Rihanna has a heart shaped face with high cheekbones.  This is a beautiful face shape, however not everyone has this type and hairstyles will look different on various face shapes.  If you have a heart shaped face with high cheek bones then you may want to go a head and give Rihanna’s hairstyle a try, but try to remember Rihanna has stylists that help her style her hair and do her makeup, so even if you try to duplicate her look chances are it will be a difficult attempt.

The last thing to consider is skin tone and color.  Rihanna has beautiful, flawless dark skin and dark eyes.  She is able to wear her hair cut very short and compliment her skin nicely.  Someone with a very pale skin tone may not be able to wear a short hair cut like Rihanna’s.  Having nice dark skin is a key in why Rihanna looks great with her short hair.

Rihanna is a beautiful star and it is ok to admire a celebrity, but it is not always the best idea or choice to try and look like them.  We are all unique and have our own looks.  Celebrate you!

What You Can Do With Short Hair

Depending on how short your hair is, there are quite a few different things that can be done with it other than the basic straightening.  If your hair is really short, for example, cut in a pixie cut, then most likely you would only be able to straighten it.  You may however be able to use a hair wax or pomade and create some edgy chunks to create a messy style, or you may choose to use that same wax or pomade to create a super sleek hairstyle.

If your short hair is a bit longer say down to you jaw line you can try a few different things.  First you could try to use hot rollers to create some nice curls in your hair.  This look can be very fun if you want to change your hairstyle only for the night.  You can create a soft messy look with soft curls that will add volume and bounce in your hair.  The other option you may want to try is straightening your hair, which will create a nice sleek hairstyle.  If your hair is wavy or curly this option can change your hairstyle dramatically.

Depending on your hair texture there are many styling products you can use to also change the look of your short hair.  Try using a mousse if you have curly or wavy hair to help enhance your wave or curl.  A wax or pomade could be used if you want to try a sleek hairstyle or if you want to create some edgy pieces in your hair.  Have fun experimenting, even though you have short hair there are many things you can try to change up your look.

Hair Ideas For Blonde Short Haircuts

Blonde short haircuts can be a hard color to transition into the winter months without using traditional darker highlight to change the tone of the hair into something a bit warmer for the winter.  By using traditional darker tones through out the blonde hair, this will help make the transition to a warmer shade easy.  But what if you are seeking something different than the traditional dark blonde or darker brown highlights?

Here are some ideas for short blonde hair that can create wonderful looks for the winter season with out having a more traditional look.  First use colors in your short blond hair other than the traditional ash, dark or light brown highlights.  Try using color in the red family which can be combined with other rich warm colors to create a soft warm looking hairstyle.

Instead of adding highlights to your hair consider trying something completely different.  Consider for example an all over color.  You may want to start with something very subtle like a caramel brown color, which will be an easy transition, rather than choosing a very dark color which could be a little harder to get used to.  However if you are looking for a bold color and are not worried about transitioning your blonde hair subtly why not choose something dramatic.  You could try a nice cherry red or a dark chocolate brown color.

One last idea for transitioning your short blonde hair into the winter months would be to add hair extensions.  There are a variety of hair extension colors to choose from.  Not only can you change your hair color, but you can also quickly and easily change the length too.  Hair extensions are a fun way to create a new look.
