Daily Hair Ideas and Other Great Tips

PhotobucketPhotobucket

This style I did on one of my friends. A lot people think with short hair there is not much to do, but there really is a lot you can do :) We triple barreled her hair which gave it a really cool look and different than just curling it, flat ironed her bangs and added a cute inverted braid, then just with a few bobby pins we pinned it back and had a finished style.

 Would you wear this style? Where would you wear it too? Feed back ladies :)

Re: Daily Hair Ideas and Other Great Tips

  • I like the front a lot, but the back is NMS.  So are you a hairdresser?  Or is it just a hobby? 

    What I want to know is how to give my hair volume on top (like in a ponytail, etc).  It never seems to stay or look right.

  • It started as a hobby in highschool, but now I am a licensed cosmetologist.

    And what is your hair type? Some easy ways to get volume are: blowing drying your hair in all different directions and upside down, teasing(with hairspray for hold), or using rootlifters-volumizing shampoos, volumizing root lifter spray before blow drying etc. :)

  • It looks like bed head from the back. Like she's a bridesmaid that just rolled around with a groomsman in a closet.
    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.
  • A triple barrel iron gives the look of waves instead of curls, I personally love it :) so did she, she wore this as a bridal style actually! Unique and lots of fun.

    I have pretty thick hair, wavy in back but straight in the front.  When I blow dry upside down, it gets tons of volume, but I can never get it to stay when I put it up.  I guess I need to work on teasing at the crown and then brushing over it so it's smooth.

  • Okay I just wanted to demonstrate another use/style with the triple barrel iron. This girl had gorgeous hair! One of my fave's-The Waterfall Braid(which can actually be preformed on even semi short hair).PhotobucketPhotobucket

     I have pretty thick hair myself, and when i want that extra bump on top i usually tease it with a comb and smooth over it with a soft bristle brush, sometimes to add reinforcement ill even push the bump up and pin with bobby pins, then just pull the rest into a pony.

    Sorry, but I would not.  My hair is about that length with no bangs, but that hair just looks frizzy and messy in the back.  The waterfall braid is better, but the frizz gets me.

    A lot of people ask me how to get pretty curls with short hair-without looking like shirley temple-here I used a medium size iron and sectioned the hair vertically-taking big sections. In the front, on both sides for the first three sections i curled back. After that just curl each section a different way-to give that nice flowing look. After you're done, run your fingers through and tada!

    This.

     

    Too many styles happening all at once, messy but overdone at the same time.  Sorry.  And that's coming from someone who used a 3-barrel iron this morning.

  • This was meant to be fun and just to get people involved. Since it has not gotten much good feedback...I think we will just forgo this. Thanks anyways to those who were kind :) There is not a lot going on on this site anyway, I'm signing out! Have fun ladies.
