Short Smooth Hairstyle With Tapered Back


Added: 10 Nov 2010
Short hairstyles are some of the most popular 'dos for women. They can be easily freshened up and feel more youthful than any other hair type. This hairstyle is a great choice for a woman who doesn't want to spend much time on her hair but still wants a polished look. It's perfect for work or just hanging out with your friends.

Our model is wearing a short, straight hairstyle with smokey eye makeup in black and silver. The model is wearing a white top and matching earrings. Slick and smooth is the main aim of this hairstyle. For the hair styling, the back is tapered into the neck to show off the brilliant two-toned color work, while the top and sides are cut to sit flat for a magnificent finish. This look suits women with oval, round, and heart face shapes. It is best suited for thin hair or those with a medium density, and of fine to medium textures. This ultra-short hairstyle is a quick and easy transition from relaxed to styled hair. The tapered sides help reduce the bulk look at the crown, while a side part defines the face shape. This simple yet stylish short hairstyle is perfect for a woman who wants to add more length to her hair. The best part about this straight hairstyle is that it only takes about 20 minutes to assemble and maintain.

It is a great hairstyle for those who prefer to keep their hair short yet still want to look stylish. With regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks, you can easily maintain this trendy look. Spray a small amount of hairspray onto your roots for extra volume and hold.

step 1

Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.


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

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


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

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 7

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


step 8

Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.


step 9

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 10

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.
