Ellen DeGeneres Short Straight Hairstyle


Added: 10 Nov 2010
Ellen usually styles her hair with maximum volume, creating high lift in the roots with texturizing gel, but on occasion she goes for a sleek look as well, combing it down and to the side. This haircut works well for Ellen and suits her free-spirit personality perfectly. Short and sassy was the main aim for this hairstyle from Ellen. Jagged cut layers all over gives this look shape and a textured finish. A little wax or moulding gum is all that is needed to style this 'do.

step 1

Apply moulding cream to your fingertips then gently rake through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Be careful not to use too much product as it can become sticky and clumpy.


step 2

Apply moulding cream to your fingertips and then pinch small clumps of hair in an up and forward motion. Pinch the clumps in different directions for a messier look.


step 3

Apply some moulding cream to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for added body. Be sure not to use too much moulding cream at the roots as this can result in a glugy and thick uncomfortable feel.


step 4

Apply some moulding cream to your fingertips and then pull it through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a textured look.


step 5

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.


step 6

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
