Short Hairstyle With Body And Defined Bouncy Curls


Added: 10 Nov 2010
This short curly hairstyle with auburn color and layered bangs is a great style to wear for both formal and casual events. The longer layers work great with this style, so it will look equally great if you want to keep the hair half down or up all the way. Our bold yet dazzling model is perfectly flaunting this hairstyle with her rebellious look. Her pink-purple-colored eye shadow perfectly matches her nude lip shade, which perfectly matches her skin tone. She is wearing an auburn hair color that perfectly complements her fair skin tone.

These beautifully defined curls are made possible by the short to medium layers cut throughout the sides and back for the hair styling technique. This creates plenty of bounce and body all over. This short curly hairdo is great for women with medium to thick hair with an oval, oblong, or square face shape. Any woman can wear this hairstyle, and it is ideal for women with fine to medium-texture hair. It is a natural-looking and easy-to-style hairstyle and has a few layers in the front for more volume, leaving the sides of your head longer to help create a fuller look. It also features curls that add a youthful vibe to the shortcut while still being professional enough for work. The stacked bangs add drama to this look and make it all the more beautiful.

This short brunette hairstyle is made to maintain a high-fade or low-cut style with regular trimming. You can keep it for about 4-6 weeks with regular trims. It is perfect for those with medium to thick hair looking for a stylish yet versatile cut.

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 large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. 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

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

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.


step 7

Starting at the front, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.


step 8

Starting from the back, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.


step 9

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 10

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 11

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.
