You may have run out of ideas on how to style your shoulder-length hair. In this article we will give you some advice.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Quick Edits
Step 1. Try the row aside
Putting your hair on one side, or on the opposite side of where you usually keep it, can spice things up. Try a very accentuated line, at the height of the outer corner of the eyebrow, or more discreet, a couple of cm away from the center.
Since the hair roots are used to the old position, changing it will give you some extra volume
Step 2. Try the accessories
Short hair looks good with accessories, because it is still quite light and therefore will not be weighed down.
- Try pinning your hair up or to the side with cute barrettes.
- Or use clips to create a messy bun at the nape of the neck.
- Try with in hair ribbons. Tie them with ribbons, bows, or even the same hair.
- If you have long enough hair, try making it a bow. It's a quirky yet lovely hairstyle.
- For a look that requires very little maintenance, put on a headband and go. Headbands are back in fashion, and you can find many types: bows, feathers, large, flashy, the choice is yours.
Method 2 of 3: Hairstyles for Shoulder Hair
Step 1. Learn the Gibson tuck
The Gibson tuck is simpler to do on short hair, and is a very cute low bun. Basically, you have to tie your hair into a ponytail, create a small "handbag" immediately above where you stopped the ponytail with the elastic (sliding it slightly downwards). Tuck the rest of your hair into this pouch and secure it with bobby pins.
Step 2. Try the ringlets
Take small strands of hair and curl them with a curling iron at least 2.5 cm wide. Untangle them a bit to make them seem lighter. Don't worry, it must be a casual look and also a bit messy.
Step 3. Try a waterfall braid
You have to braid your hair starting from the top of your head and from one side, but with each weaving you drop a lock and pick up another.
Step 4. Try new products
Curly hair can be difficult to tame without the right products, and many of the products on the market leave hair stringy and damp.
- Straightening your hair every day can do a lot of damage, so try to accept your natural curls.
- If you have curly hair, try defining creams or other specific products.
Method 3 of 3: Cure
Step 1. Trim your hair regularly
Of course, it depends on your hair type, but make sure the ends are healthy. Little secret: trimming your hair makes it grow faster.
Step 2. Avoid stressing your hair
Give your hair a break by avoiding straighteners, hairspray or rubber bands at least one day a week. This will prevent them from cracking and keep them healthy and shiny.
Advice
- Try horse-specific shampoo and conditioner. They have magnificent results. Those who breed and show horses must ensure that the animals have a healthy and full-bodied coat, and these products often have the same effect on human hair.
- Make a hair mask at least once a week. These products are like intensive conditioners that you leave on your hair 20-30 minutes before rinsing, and leave your hair super soft and shiny.
- Drink lots of water! Hair contains a lot of water. If you don't keep them well hydrated, then they won't look good.
- Remember that hair grows on the head, but the body also plays its part. If you want healthy hair, the rest of your body has to be too.
- Take vitamins. You can buy specific vitamins for healthy hair and nails, but the other vitamins will also have the same effects. Believe it or not, pre-natal vitamins are very popular with women who want healthy hair due to their high folic acid content.
- Maintain a healthy weight. People who are underweight have brittle and unhealthy hair, which, in extreme circumstances, can even fall out.
- Don't skimp on quality. Ignore the cheap shampoo bottles and spend the extra money. Quality shampoos and conditioners cost a few euros more for a very good reason: they are made with better ingredients that clean and nourish the hair better than cheap ones. It doesn't mean you have to buy a $ 20 bottle of conditioner, but try to avoid product sales.
