Indian women are known for their long tresses, but the new-age woman is a busy lady and she doesn’t have the time to grow, maintain and care for her tresses, which is why she keeps the hair short and chic. Here are a couple of very practical styling tips for short hair, which wouldn’t need a lot of time. Read on!
The long bob
Lara Dutta, former Miss Universe and Bollywood diva shows us how the long bob can be sported sans the fuss. Back brush the hair with mousse as setting, and use a tail comb to partition the front section into a side wave; comb it behind the ears to keep it secure. You may choose to use hair accessories on a minimal note to complete the look.
Messy bohemian waves
One doesn’t need to have long hair to emulate the messy bohemian wavy hair, because with short hair till the neck the same look can come through. When after a shower and the hair is damp, you must use good amounts of hair mousse to set base, and with your fingers get the strands crunched up. Leave it to set and walk out!
Pixies
The pixie cut is apt for the Indian summer climes and when you have a very busy lifestyle or work schedule that doesn’t give you too much time to doll your hair. Keep the look wet with mousse or hair serum, and with the help of your fingers and palms, dab the hair flat. You may also use a cold blower for a minute to set the hair, and then use your fingers to comb through.
Overnight heatless curls
Inspired by the Great Gatsby era, Bollywood diva and actress Bipasha Basu shows us how the messy bob can turn into an elegant hairdo in less than five minutes. The bob cut should be set with voluminizers and hair constructors to set base with, and with a moderate heat stream using your fingers the hair should be crunched around the ears and the back of the head to set in waves.
Faux Bang Look
Creating a faux bang look with deep side part is an ideal fashion statement to wear at work or just about anywhere. For this, all you have to do sweep the hair across your forehead and secure it behind one side of your headband. You could make your own hair spray by using seltzer water and a teaspoon of hair to give your hair a short hair beachy texture. Spray it all over your hair, let it set for a minute and then move out to work!
The fringed doll bob
Actress Kalki Koechelin looks innocent, cute and sensual too in a fringed doll bob cut, which can be styled in less than a minute. When the hair is wet, set it with serum or hair mousse and iron the middle half to the tip of the hair outwards and flat. You may also use a cold blow dryer for a minute to set the look.
What’s your excuse for the boring unkempt short hair now?
