Short And Flamboyant Black Hairstyle With Tapered Back


Added: 10 Nov 2010
The short straight hairstyle is created for those who want a classic cut with a bit of length but not too much. We love this short straight hairstyle and how it changed up from natural curls, giving them a preppier look.

Our model's short, straight hairstyle with an asymmetrical finish perfectly flaunts this hairstyle. The model is wearing a black gown with an embellished necklace. This stunning 'do is best suited for those looking for a bold look to turn heads. For the hair styling, the back is tapered into the neck with layers cut around the sides to achieve an asymmetric finish. The creative color is a great way to finish off this flamboyant hairstyle. This hairstyle is for you if you want a straight look that makes a statement. This style works best on oval, oblong, square, and diamond face shapes. It also works well with fine-textured hair. Short hair is a great choice for your face shape and style. If you have short, straight hair and a round face, this hairstyle perfectly suits your face and body shape. This versatile cut will help to shape your face and create the illusion of fuller cheeks.

If you are looking for a hairstyle that can be worn daily with minimal maintenance, we suggest this straight style. You can keep it well-groomed by simply trimming every 4 to 6 weeks and styling as desired. Apply a small amount of smoothing cream to your top sections for shine 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

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

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 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

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

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.
