Learning how to make long hair look short can be difficult. After all, for those whose hair isn’t growing at breakneck speed, growing their hair out can feel like a massive achievement. But then there is the problem of monotony. You feel the urge to do something unique, like get a pixie or cut your hair.
1. Curls, girls. Beckon!
Curly hair has a reputation for making hair look shorter without the need for trimming or trimming. And the best way to get curls is using hair curlers. Because heat rollers might expose your hair to prolonged heat, which might not be healthy for your hair.
Wash your hair first. Because then it is completely elastic and can be easily manipulated into any desired shape. Depending on the curl size you want, use curlers. One thing to note is the orientation of the curlers, which should be organized. Otherwise your hair would stick out in different directions and that’s not what you want, is it?
Sleep with curlers. I know it will be uncomfortable, but I also know it will be worth it. And when you wake up, DO NOT brush your hair or it could ruin your locks.
Lo and behold! Here we go! Gorgeous curls that make your hair look stylish and shorter! You can even add some highlights or highlights of your favorite color to add depth and dimension to your hair.
2. The demi-lovato style
Want to flaunt a bob hairstyle? Then you should do the following! Demi Lovato’s simple yet trendy bob style makes her stand out from the rest.
All you have to do is apply a small amount of shine serum to smooth out those flyaways. Pull the top half of your hair up onto the top of your head and secure with a clip.
Come to the bottom part of your hair. Make two-inch sections that reach the scalp. Now fix the ends of the hair with the help of a hairpin. You can use another pin for extra grip.
Now comes the magic! Loosen the top section of your hair and watch it fall beautifully over the pinned hair. If all your hair is a full length, you can curl the ends of the top half under the pinned lower sections. You can even add bangs or blunt bangs to add volume to your hair and accentuate your features.
Spritz all over your hair with a hairspray.
3. Bobby pin flips
Simple, light and attractive.
That’s what bobby pin flips are like.
The first thing to do is part your hair from ear to ear in the form of a headband. Divide the rest of your hair into four to five sections.
Pull the first section up so it falls over your face. Now secure it with bobby pins, flip it back over and secure with bobby pins again. Repeat the process with the remaining sections.
Pull the hair back over your hair and over the bobby pins in the form of a headband. You can add a few more bobby pins to keep the hair in place.
4. Get a ponytail
Leave the shorter section of your hair in the ponytail as this would give you the short hair you have always wanted!
And guess what? You can either roll up your ponytail or just pin it at the back of your head!
5. The half bun style
This is by far the easiest and quickest way to make your hair short without having to cut it. Tie your hair in a half or incomplete bun and brush the excess hair towards your shoulders. Don’t try to straighten your hair as it will make it look longer.
