One of the hairstyle trends this autumn were short cuts, Bobs, and even bolder, very short cuts. So, if you are among those who have changed their look and opted for one of these new styles, don’t worry, we are bringing you five ideas for special Christmas hairstyles to give an extra touch of glam to your Christmas outfits.
Waves in short hair
lthough tying up our hair or styling it differently is not as easy with short hair, we can actually use those few inches to make waves and give our hair a more sophisticated touch:
- Wash your hair and dry it as usual.
- We need to bear in mind that we should protect our hair from heat sources, and therefore we should apply some heat protection.
- We can then use any heat implement, such as hair tongues or curling tongues to make sure our waves last longer.
- To make waves, our hair should be completely dry and brushed. Position the hair tongues at 160º to mould this type of hair.
Tied back short hair
To tie back short hair, the best thing to do is to make it wavy to give it more volume in order to work with it better.
After making the waves, we can roll our hair over itself and fix it in place with hairpins or decorative hair clips for a more sophisticated look.
After making waves in our hair, we can tie up just the top part, from the middle of our head and roll it into a bun, leaving some locks loose at the front for a more casual look.
Buns for short hair
We will need a product to mould and work our hairstyle well. Let’s see how to do it step-by-step.
- First of all, we wet our hair well using styling water, which will help us to manage our hair better.
- We can then either make a centre parting or comb all our hair back.
- We then tie our hair back in a low ponytail to make sure we can actually make a bun.
- Secure the ponytail well and mould it to shape. We can use hairpins to hold it in place.
- After making the bun, apply some styling wax to give our hairstyle a polished look.
Hairstyles for straight, short hair
If we usually make curls or waves in our short hair, we might feel like trying something different at Christmas. It doesn’t have to be a professional style. We can do something comfortable and elegant, such as straightening our hair with a middle parting.
Plaits for short bob cuts
Plaits and braids are also very versatile options that are suitable for shorter hair. We can do a single plait to one side, a French plait, and leave the rest of our hair loose, straight or wavy. We can also make a plait at the back, although since we are making it with short hair, we need to start from the middle of our head for it to work well. To finish off with, we should apply some hairspray to hold it in place all day long.
