If you have short hair, you are unlikely to be able to get a traditional hairstyle like a ponytail, bun, or braid. But there is also a positive side to this, as you will have noticeably less hassle in the morning when you need to style your hair! Start by applying special products that will make your curls stand out, then create an informal tousled hairstyle on your head, or smooth your hair neatly (depending on the look you want)!

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Styling bold curls

1. 1 If possible, let your hair dry on its own to help your curls frizz less. High drying temperatures are the main reason hair becomes dry and curls start to frizzy, so a hairdryer does not have the best effect on the condition of your beautiful curls. Fortunately, the short length of the hair allows it to dry naturally relatively quickly.
   • If your hair is very wet, blot it with a microfiber towel or just an old T-shirt. Do not rub your head at the same time, as this can cause individual hairs to break out of their curls and then stick out ugly.
   • If you have to resort to a hair dryer, use a diffuser attachment to prevent frizzy hair from forming a bulky head.
2. 2 Detangle the hair with a wide-toothed comb. Avoid using a regular hairbrush and flat-toothed combs as they can cause your hair to frizzy. Instead, comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb. First, detangle the ends of the hair and gradually start brushing them higher until you reach the very roots. This will prevent you from accidentally tangling your curls while brushing.
   • In case of emergency, you can detangle your hair simply by combing the curls with your fingers.
3. 3 Apply styling mousse to your hair that is still damp to add definition to your curls. The exact amount of mousse you need depends on the length of your hair. Start with a coin-sized blob, then add more as needed. Spread the mousse evenly through your hair from roots to ends.
   • You can also experiment with styling gels, creams and lotions.
4. 4 Treat your hair with a deep penetration conditioner every 1-2 weeks. Conditioners and hair masks with keratin provide good care for your hair. Apply conditioner to hair, allow time to absorb, then rinse according to label directions.
   • Moisturizing hair with conditioners helps keep curls silky and expressively curly.
   • You can buy hair products with keratin in beauty salons and shops selling cosmetics and beauty products.

Method 2 of 4: Informal tousled hairstyle

1. 1 Apply styling mousse to damp hair. A good styling mousse will give your curls the perfect texture for a tousled hairstyle. Apply mousse generously from roots to ends.
   • If you prefer a beachy style to your hair over bold curls, use a sea salt spray instead of mousse and treat wet hair with it.
   • If your curls are naturally tight and tight, you may want to use a styling gel as it contains more moisture.
2. 2 Create a parting on the head if desired. If you are not going to comb all your hair back, then you need to create either a central or side parting on your head. Use the pointed tip of a flat comb to keep the parting straight and tidy. If you decide to give up parting, just comb your hair back.
3. 3 Blow dry your hair with a diffuser, but not until the very end. Place the hair dryer at the roots of your hair and direct the diffuser towards the ends, occasionally squeezing the strands to dry with your hand. Use the lowest heat setting and take your time so you don't accidentally straighten your curls. After all, for the conceived hairstyle, you just need to keep the expressive curls!
   • If you prefer a hairstyle of messy waves rather than tousled curls, you may need to first let your hair dry slightly naturally before grabbing the diffuser.
4. 4 Blow dry hair roots to create volume. When your hair is almost dry, tilt your head down and blow-dry the roots of your hair for incredible volume! It is the volume along with elastic curls that allows the hairstyle to maintain an informal disheveled look.
   • If you need a little more volume, lightly comb the hair at the roots.
5. 5 Use texturizing powder to give your hair a particularly desperate look. To further emphasize tousled curls, you can use texturizing powder. Apply it to the roots of your hair, then comb through the curls with your fingers from roots to ends to lift and create volume.
6. 6 Comb your hair at the roots for a pompadour look. If necessary, apply a little more styling mousse to your hair first. Then use a flat comb to comb the hair at the roots, then brush the ends of the hair slightly to pull them back towards the back of the head.
   • The natural structure of your hair should be sufficient to keep it in shape. Otherwise, take a round brush, curl the curls over it in the direction in which they should lie, and dry with a hairdryer.
7. 7 If you have a bob cut, apply a smoothing oil or serum to the long section of your hair. To further accentuate your curls, use a small amount of smoothing agent and apply it to the ends of your hair. Do not treat the roots with it, so as not to weigh down curly curls.
   • If you want to give your hairstyle even more expressiveness, also apply a smoothing agent to the layers of the haircut around the face!
   • If you have curly hair that is coarse enough, use your fingers to shape most of your curls into regular curls, and then use a special line styler to tame unruly hairs in this area too.
8. 8 Apply a light hold hairspray. Spray your hair lightly with hairspray to help curls maintain their style throughout the day. Use a light hold nail polish, as the hairstyle should remain firm and not stiff!
   • If you have naughty tight curls, use a toothpick to smooth the hairs along the edge of the growth line. If necessary, style them with a special product so that the hairstyle looks as intended.

Method 3 of 4: Get your hair neat

1. 1 Moisturize your hair. This hairstyle can be done right after the shower, but first you will need to blot your hair with a microfiber towel or old T-shirt so that no water flows from it. Alternatively, you can simply moisturize your hair with a spray bottle.
   • If you have curly hair, apply a generous amount of non-rinse conditioner to damp curls.
2. 2 Treat hair with keratin, styling cream or hair oil for extra shine. Start with an oil or cream containing keratin, and then apply a styling cream to your hair to help curls shine better and less frizz. Just a little oil should be enough. Use a small drop of the product first, then add more as needed.
   • It is not necessary to use a special hair oil. You can use olive oil, argan oil, or coconut oil.
3. 3 Blow dry your hair from the crown of your head to create a sleek pixie look. To begin with, set the hair dryer to medium temperature, and when the hair is almost dry, finish off with a cold stream of air. Direct the air flow towards the top of the head. The hairstyle can be done with or without a side parting.
   • If your hair dryer does not have a medium heat setting, use a high heat first.
4. 4 Correct unruly bob hair with a curling iron. If some curls are fluffy and look ugly, wind them on a curling iron and hold for a few seconds, then remove the device from your hair. No need to curl all strands.Correct only those that are fluffy and sticking out.
   • Treat your hair with a heat protectant before using your curling iron.
5. 5 Finish with a serum or shine spray. This will help give your curls a sleek and shiny look all day long. Start with a small drop of the product and add more as needed. Concentrate on mid-length to ends.

Method 4 of 4: Attractive Haircuts

1. 1 Make a multi-layered haircut to optimally distribute the volume of curly hair. All people have different ideas about "short" and "very short" hair. If, in your understanding, "very short" hair is something like a pixie or bob cut, make yourself a haircut in layers to optimally distribute the volume of the hair, otherwise you may just get a curly ball on your head!
   • But if you have a really very short haircut on your head, then there is no need to worry about the layers of hair. In this case, the volume of the hairstyle does not particularly need additional control.
2. 2 Consider a classic pixie cut if you want a more expressive hairstyle. For best results, think of a graduated pixie cut where the hair is longer at the top than at the sides. Do not try to achieve perfect neatness, leave the haircut rough and a little uneven.
3. 3 Try a graduated pixie cut for a more expressive face. The graduated pixie haircut is similar to the classic one, except that the hair on the sides is cut shorter than on the top of the head.
   • This is a great option for those who have decided to gradually move from long hair to short hair or vice versa, as well as for those who are trying to repair damaged hair.
4. 4 Consider short African haircuts if you have tight curls or real African hair. These haircuts are easy to style and easy to care for. They are ideal for Africans and people with tight, stubborn curls. In addition, these haircuts are a good alternative to other protective styling options for curly hair, such as African braids.

Tips

• Curly hair reacts differently to different products from different people. What works for your friend or sister may not work for you. Experiment with different tools to find what works for you.
• Hair care products take time to take effect. You won't notice clear results the very next day. Use your chosen remedy for a month before making a final conclusion about its effectiveness.
