Short Two-Tone Jagged Haircut


Added: 13 Jan 2011
This short 'do is for the woman who wants a formal hairstyle that is easy to maintain and super chic. This style features straight hair that is thin and with a medium-to-thick density. The front part of the hair has been finished with subtle layers, so it can be styled either straight or curly. If you are obsessed with the color orange and love flaunting your celebrity style, this hairstyle is for you!

Our model is flaunting this 'do with minimalistic makeup. Her thick eyebrows and cute smile complemented this 'do with a dark brunette hue. The hair color looks very natural on her. The stunning look of this hairdo is clean, simple, and elegant. With minimal makeup and a beautiful smile, this lovely hairstyle will work for nearly any age and skin tone. This fantastic look is jagged cut all over for the styling to form this brilliant shape which looks asymmetric thanks to the two-toned color work and the substantial side part. This funky hairstyle is excellent for those who want all eyes on them, and it looks great for all face shapes. The slightly asymmetrical bangs can add a visual dimension to your face, and the side-swept bangs will flatter any face shape. The short length adds another dimension to your look, making it more interesting than a simple bob or classic pixie cut.

This hairstyle is the ultimate in easy styles because the thick, dark roots provide a firm grip on your hair. Even if you have thin, fine hair and have to cut it every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends and maintain its shape, this style will still look fantastic. A little product is needed to keep this style in place all day. You can use your fingers to pinch the molding cream through to create the textured finish.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 3

To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.


step 4

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.


step 5

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 6

Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.


step 7

Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.


step 8

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 9

To finish the look, apply wax to your fingertips, making sure to smooth the wax over all of your fingers, then simply pinch the wax onto the ends of your hair, applying as much or as little as needed.


step 10

Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.


step 11

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.
