Short And Wispy Layered Hairstyle


Added: 10 Nov 2010
This short and wispy hairdo is the perfect style for a special occasion. The hairstyle has subtle layers and a touch of bluntness. Our model is perfectly captured in this wispy layered hairstyle with pink blush and glossy lips. Her smoky eyes give this look a touch of drama. It is a short haircut with fun layers cut right throughout to achieve texture and height. For the hair styling, the back has been cut at one length and textured on the ends to create wispy edges. The length of the sides has been cut the same as the back, with shorter layering cut up to blend in with the short layers through the top. This hairstyle is perfect for round, oval and diagonal face shapes. Work the sides of your hair into a low cut and leave the top of your head longer. It will work with any thickness if you have thin to medium-density hair. This hairdo is a classic look that is great for any occasion. It's ideal for school, work, or after a relaxing day out with friends.

Short and wispy layered haircuts are great for fashion-conscious women who want an edgy look without trying too hard. This hairstyle requires regular trims to maintain, and we recommend it for women who wish to take less time in the hairdressing chair. You are going to love this short, wispy haircut. It is easy to maintain with regular trims after four weeks, and it looks excellent when styled up or down for several occasions.

step 1

Hold the gel spray no closer than 3 inches from your hair and then evenly mist the gel spray into the roots to create a stronger hold style. Gel spray will hold well and will not look wet or weigh the hair down. Using your gel spray in this fashion will create added hold and a longer lasting style.


step 2

Using your blow-dryer, dry your hair using your fingers, separating the hair and allowing it to dry at the roots first then the mid lengths and then the ends. Making sure the roots are dry first will ensure that your hairstyle does not fall flat.


step 3

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 4

Using a small amount of moulding cream, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward motion. For added texture, pinch the ends as you go sparingly.


step 5

Apply a small amount of moulding cream to your fingertips and then using your fingers, rake through your bangs to the ends for hold and texture.


step 6

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 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

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.
