Introduction

Welcome back to my Channel! In today's video, I will be showing You how I style my short haircut. This tutorial is simple and easy to follow, so stay tuned for all the steps.

Preparation

Before we dive into the styling process, there are a few preparations we need to make to ensure the best results.

Washing and Dyeing the Hair

To start, I washed my hair and used semi-permanent jet black hair coloring from Ion. This gives my hair a fresh base to work with.

Using Heat Protectant and Foaming Mousse

After washing, I applied a heat protectant spray from Hair Elements to shield my hair from heat damage. Then, I used foaming mousse from the same brand to add volume and hold to my hair.

Product Application and Molding

Next, I applied a generous amount of product to my hair. Although I may have used more than necessary, this is the method I am comfortable with. I molded my hair to achieve the desired Shape.

Styling the Hair

Now that our hair is prepared, it's time to style it according to our desired look.

Understanding the Haircut

My haircut is a simple one, with short sides and back, and longer length at the crown and front. Understanding the cut helps me to determine how to style it effectively.

Combing and Laying Down the Hair

First, I combed down the shorter parts of my hair to lay them flat. Then, I combed the longer parts to get them out of the way.

Creating Simple Waves

To add some texture and Flair to my hairstyle, I attempted to Create simple waves. While I don't have much experience with creating waves, this technique was easy to follow and added some dimension to my hair.

Using Styling Strips and Drying the Hair

To set the hairstyle, I used hair strips to tie down my hair before using a portable dryer. This allowed me to multitask and dry my hair while doing other activities.

Removing Styling Strips and Finishing Touches

Once the hair is completely dry, it's time to remove the styling strips and add the finishing touches.

Combing and Softening the Hair

I used a rat tooth comb to comb out any residual crunchiness from the product. I wanted to achieve a softer look, so I added a small amount of heat protectant and gloss to my hands and worked it through my hair, using my fingers to distribute the product evenly.

Curling the Hair

Using a small flat iron, I began curling my hair. Starting with the bangs, I curled the hair in the opposite direction I wanted it to fall. I alternated the curl direction towards the middle to create more volume and prevent a uniform and stiff look.

Creating Volume

To enhance the volume of my hair, I focused on curling the back sections. Since there was only a small amount of hair, this step didn't take much time or effort.

Styling the Back of the Hair

To ensure that the back of my hair matches the overall style, I curled the remaining sections in the same manner as the rest of my hair.

Final Touches and Result

After all the curls were set, I gently combed through my hair to soften the curls and Blend them together. I achieved a textured look that I'm satisfied with.

Conclusion

Styling short hair can be easy and fun, even if you're not a professional stylist. With a few products and simple techniques, you can achieve a stylish and manageable haircut. Practice and experiment to find the best methods that work for you. Enjoy your new look!
