Jazz Up your Hair with a Short Layered Hairstyle

No one can argue that short hair is easier to maintain than long hair. It takes less time to wash, dry, and brush.  It is less likely to show damage because it gets trimmed every couple of months. However, a short hairstyle with no body will look flat and lifeless.

It can even run the risk of making you look somewhat masculine. That is why you should take the plunge and mix things up a bit with a short layered hairstyle.

A short layered hairstyle can bring life back to any hair type. If you hair is thin, layers can create the illusion of thickness. Conversely, if you hair is too thick, layers will lighten it up a bit.

A short layered hairstyle can even help to make curly hair more manageable. Because there are more styling opportunities with layers, you should be able to make your short layered hairstyle accommodate any face shape.

The only high maintenance part of a short layered hairstyle is that you need to have it done by a professional, and you should probably go back to the salon at least every two months for a trim.

Professional hairstylists are able to seamlessly layer your hair so that you have shorter layers in the back and longer layers near the front.  This combination has proven to be the most flattering as well as the easiest to style.

When you go to style your short layered hairstyle, you’ll need a blow dryer, a brush, and some product such as mousse or gel.  Shower, and then while your hair is still damp, lightly run product over all your hair.

Blow dry and brush to give your layers body and finally use a light misting of hairspray to keep everything in place.  Even if you want a funkier layered look, all you have to do is add some wax once your hair is dry and arrange your locks with your fingers.

If you enjoy the ease of short hair, consider giving your style more body and versatility with a short layered hairstyle.
