Easy Short Hairstyles: 10 Ways to Rock that Crop
1. Super Short Curls
Short easy hairstyles should be all about embracing what you have as you define and enhance your natural curl pattern. This is definitely one of our favorite easy hairstyles for short curls. All you need is a gel to help add definition like Suave Professionals Define & Shine Serum Gel. This gel also helps with hold as it works to create defined curls.
2. Undone Waves
Undone hairstyles are the ‘It Girl’ look of the season. To create quick short hairstyles like this, spray a small amount of hair mist onto your short hair, then use your fingers to scrunch the product in your hair. This will create that cool, undone messy effect.
3. Low Ponytail
Congratulations, your hair is long enough for a mini-ponytail (or a “puny-tail,” as we fondly call it). This hairstyle is one of the easiest and chicest short hairstyles for women out there that screams modern minimalist elegance. To achieve this look, apply TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Serum to your hair for some shine, then gather your hair back into a low ponytail. Gently sweep your hair into a low ponytail, near the nape of your neck, and secure it with an elastic band. Pull a few loose strands out at the front for a more casual look. If you want to give your short ponytail a little more character, back-comb the ends to create texture.
4. Slicked-Back Lob
The slicked-back lob is one of this season’s hottest hair trends and one of our favorite quick and easy hairstyles for short hair. Both edgy and daring, this easy hairstyle is perfect for those with a square or heart-shaped face, as it exudes high fashion. For super slick short strands, apply some gel to your hair. Next, use no-crease clips to carefully pin back the sides of your hair, before taking your heat-styling iron and smoothing out the rest of your locks so that they’re sleek, smooth, and glossy. Once this section of hair is straight, back-comb the rest of your mane, from your hairline to the crown of your head, to create added volume. Smooth the top of your hair using a fine-tooth comb to shape it into place and finish with some hairspray like TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Extend Hold Level 4 to firmly lock your style in without the stiff feeling.
5. Soft, Wavy Bob
A variation of the undone lob, these cute easy hairstyles for short hair are all about their defined #curlpower. While it’s still an easy hairstyle, you’ll still need a little more time to achieve these defined curls by using a curling iron. But the work will be so worth it, especially since it will give your short strands a huge boost in the volume department! To achieve this look, apply a heat protectant to your hair. Then work section-by-section as you curl your entire head. Once done, run your fingers through your short hair to gently loosen your curls into soft waves and give them a final mist of sea salt spray, scrunching the product in with your hands.
6. Scarf/Headband
All hail hair accessories! Hair accessories have gotten a major style boost these days: We’ve seen tons of on-trend colors, styles, and shapes to help you rock short hair with ease. After you pick out your scarf of choice, brush your hair into your preferred short hairstyle (updos and ponytails are fair game), and then place your scarf on your head. How easy is that!?
7. Dramatic Part
And then there are days when you have literally no time but still want to look put together. Enter this dramatic part, a no-fuss/easy hairstyle for short hair where you simply brush your hair to the opposite side of which you normally wear it.
8. ’70s Part
Try out the ‘it’ hairstyle of the season on short hair with the ’70s middle part. This upgraded look can be a combo of a messy part to a slick-straight middle parting. As a short easy hairstyle, you simply have to brush out any knots, and then create a part using a comb and your fingers.
9. Chunky Side Braid
Experiment with some chunkier braids to pull your short hair away from your face and add some style. We love how bold a chunky Dutch braid looks on a super short cut!
10. Light Bend
If you’re looking for quick short hairstyles that are an easy and subtle way to spice up your cut, create a slight bend in your hair with a curling iron. Keep each section of hair wrapped around the iron for only a few seconds to get the most natural movement.
