Added: 09 Jun 2023
Update your look with this trendy short hairstyle. This cool short and straight hairstyle is sure to bring the wow factor to any occasion. It features side swept bangs, light blonde highlights, and a low fade at the back. The hair color works best with medium brown or dark blonde skin tones.

Our model is perfectly flaunting her short straight brunette hairstyle with side-swept bangs and light blonde highlights by choosing a thick eyeliner, glossy lips, and a colorful dress! For the hair styling, this brilliant short hairstyle is tapered down to the nape with short layers cut through the crown to create plenty of lift and body. The top layers are textured and smoothed down for a gorgeous finish. This hairstyle is perfect for women with thin to medium hair, and oval, heart, or triangular face shapes who want to create an effortless yet chic look that makes their eyes pop. There's a little bit of loose texture to keep things interesting, as well as some natural highlights to give it a modern element. It is the perfect hairstyle for a natural-looking everyday look.

This short hairstyle is a super simple yet sophisticated cut with soft waves. It looks great on all hair types, including very thick hair. The side swept bangs add a nice texture to the style, and it's also easy to maintain by trimming between 4 and 6 weeks for your normal short to medium growth hair. Tease your hair at the roots for height and control.

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

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

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 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

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


step 11

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 12

Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
