Getting a Half-Do for Straightening Short Hair

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Lauren and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here to discuss short strait hair styles. The next day after you have your blowout and your hair may be falling a little bit flatter you may decide to put your hair up. Now Heather has pretty short hair with a lot of layers in it. So what you can do is do different options in order to get that hair up. If you do diagonal partings such as so, you can kind of piece the hair back and work it. So now if I am going to twist that piece of hair in that triangular section I'm going to take a bobby pin, put the bobby pin, insert it into the twist in order for it to stay. Then you can grab another section, and this is kind of more or less your funkier updo look. This is what you're gonna do when you have a little bit more of a flirty, fun personality which Heather definitely has. So you can manipulate the hair and twist it. Use a little bit of pomade if you feel as if you need a little extra smoothness, and you can lift up your sides. Again piece it in. With shorter hair you tend to get those smaller pieces that come up and that wind up popping up. I would say just kind of go with it especially if your personality can carry it. You can literally spray them and kind of have them fan out as you go. You can make them as small or as tall as you like. You can piece them out in order to kind of have it show and just kind of play with it. And the most important thing whenever doing anything kind of on the funkier side to your hair is really just allowing your imagination to go and your creativity to pick up. Grab random sections and piece it. You're always gonna want to go in towards the scalp and then down. The important thing is to literally have those bobby pins hide by the hair. You don't want them to see, you don't want to see them. They also come in bobby pins that actually come in a bronze, light brown, and that you can get in order to match your hair. If you wanna leave some pieces down in order to kind of create with the style and kind of go with the style you can do that. And you just kind of wanna take your pieces, have fun with the hair. All you're gonna do is row it over and grab some of those pieces to kind of stand out. Take your pin, place it in the hair. If you need another one in order for it to go then you just place the other one in. It's important when you do up styles like this, that you don't want those pins to show. It's also important to suit your personality with it. If you're going to a business meeting in a business suit you're not, this will not be your choice. You want it to play with your personality and with where you're going. You don't want to go out of the norm if you're going into a business meeting. Heather would not put this in her hair if she was going to sit down with a bunch of executives. But would maybe for a night out in the town with friends."
