They say, “A woman’s hair is her crowning glory”. Just as a crown adorns a monarch’s head, hair adorns an individual’s head.

And just as a crown is carefully chosen and crafted to reflect a ruler’s identity, a person’s hairstyle expresses their unique persona.

So, for all the short-haired beauties out there, we will discuss how a queen’s crown is crafted. In other words, here is how to style short hair.

1. 8 Styles for Short Hair 

1.1. Pixie Cut

Do we not remember Audrey Hepburn’s iconic pixie cut in Roman Holiday, which influenced many fashion trends over the years?

Now, a pixie cut can add texture and volume to your hair; all you have to do is scrunch your hair with your fingers to give it a cute, messy look.

And if you love getting bangs, you can also get a pixie cut with bangs to add a cute texture.

Or if you love to try new hair colours, you can also get them with highlights. So get your styling kit and chop-chop!

1.2. The Side Twist

This one is my personal favourite and goes with everything. Whether you’re going to a prom or just to a regular, mundane college class, this works for all.

All you have to do is brush your hair, take the sides of your hair, twist it back, and secure it with a hairpin. It gives you a sweet yet sophisticated look.

This style offers a versatile hairstyle suitable for various occasions, adding a touch of sweetness and sophistication.

1.3. The Iconic Rachel Green Haircut

Haven’t we all been obsessed with Rachel Green’s iconic haircut in Friends? The way it so effortlessly makes her look so darn pretty.

The hairstyle became so famous that people called it The Rachel. And today, we’re going to tell you all about it.

The Rachel featured a layered bob haircut, with shorter layers framing the face and longer layers towards the back.

This haircut adds volume and movement, and the golden highlights add depth and dimension to Rachel’s hair.

1.4. The Half-Up-and-Half-Down Hairstyles

Are you one who can’t decide whether to leave their hair loose or tie it up? Well, then, we’ve got the perfect hairdo for you.

In this hairstyle, you brush your hair to remove the tangles. Now, section your hair to leave some down and gather the upper half.

Next, tie the upper half into a ponytail and let the bottom section fall.

You can also style it as desired. Furthermore, you can also curl, straighten, or add waves. Choose the one that suits your personality the best.

And if you love accessorizing your hair, you can decorate it with beautiful accessories.

After all, one needs to craft one’s crown perfectly and beautifully.

1.5. Waterfall Braid

Do you want to let your hair down, but at the same time, you don’t want it to look boring? Well, then, the waterfall braid is the one for you.

This adorable hairdo gives you a lovely look and makes your hair look like a flowing waterfall.

To get this perfect look, first, you must brush your hair to remove the tangles and then part your hair in the centre or slightly off the centre, as per your preference.

Divide your hair into the right, left, and middle sections.

Next, the middle sections should be where you want your braid to start. Take a small section from the middle section and divide it into three strands.

Cross the top strand over the middle and the bottom over the new middle. Then, drop the bottom strand and let it become part of the loose hair.

Attach a new section of hair from the top of your head to the top strand. This is what creates the beautiful waterfall effect.

Continue braiding by crossing the top strand over the middle and adding new sections to the leading strand. The bottom strand is left loose.

Repeat this process until you reach the end of the braid.

After finishing the braid, secure it with a bobby pin. You can also use accessories to decorate your hair.

1.6. Front Dutch Braid

This is the perfect hairstyle for any and every occasion, be it a casual one or a formal one.

This is also known as an inside-out French braid or a reverse French braid because it involves braiding the strands under rather than over. So let’s get into it.

Now, before we begin, make sure to brush your hair and remove all the tangles. Next, part your hair where you want your ditch braid to begin.

Then, take a section near your part. This is where your Dutch braid will begin.

Divide the starting section into right, left, and middle strands. Now, cross the right strand under the middle one just like a regular braid, but in a reverse way.

Before doing this again, add a small section of your hair from your hairline to the correct strand.

Continue adding the right strand under the middle. This is what makes this braid different from the normal one.

Keep doing this until you reach the desired length of your braid, and secure it with a Bobby pin.

You can also style your hair and use a hairspray to prevent the flow. Furthermore, gently tug on the edges of the braid to loosen it to make it look fuller and more relaxed.

And now you have your perfect Dutch braid ready.

1.7. Marilyn Monroe’s Bombshell Curls

Haven’t we all heard of the classic Marilyn Monroe curls, known for their timeless elegance? Her soft, voluminous curls became her icon.

And today, in this article, we will look at ways to achieve that classic look. So, let’s begin.

This hairstyle requires a curling iron, hot rollers, and heat protectant spray.

Now, stray with clean, dry hair and apply some heat protectant delay to your hair to prevent heat damage.

Divide your hair into horizontal sections. Secure the top section with a hair clip.

Now, wrap the bottom section of your hair around the curling iron or rollers. Hold the hair in the heat for a few seconds, then release it.

Repeat this for all the sections in the bottom half of your hair.

Once the bottom section of your hair is done, unclip the top section of your hair and repeat the curling process. Once all your hair is curled, allow it to cool off.

Spray your hair to set the style and give it a finishing touch by using a shine-enhancing spray to give it a glamorous look. And now you have the perfect Marilyn Monroe look.

1.8. Mia Wallace’s Classic Bob With Bangs

Who doesn’t remember Uma Thurman in the classic movie Pulp Fiction? Her character, Mia Wallace, had a significant influence on fashion trends in the mid-90s. Her blunt bob with straight-across bangs became a standout hairstyle.

And if you love recreating the 90s look, this is just the hairdo for you.

Below is a step-by-step guide to getting that bold and sleek Mia Wallace look. So let’s get into it.

The first step is to wash and then dry your hair. You can also apply a heat protectant to your hair to prevent it from getting heat damage.

Now, use a blow dryer to smooth it out. You can add volume to your hair using a round brush to blow-dry it.

Lift the hair at the roots to give it height. Next, use a straightener to straighten your hair.

Now, the next step is to get a bob cut. The key to the Pulp Fiction is its precise length, which falls just below the chin.

You have nothing to worry about if you already have a Bob cut. And if you don’t, don’t worry; we’ve got you!

1.8.1. How to Get Yourself a Bob Cut

To get a bob cut, you must start with clean, dry hair, free from all styling products. It’s best to cut bangs when your hair is natural.

The next step is to part your hair where you want your bangs to start and then brush it forward to form a triangle.

You can also draw a straight line from one eyebrow to another so you don’t end up with crooked bangs.

Now, decide how long you want your bangs to be. Mia Wallace’s bangs sit just above the eyebrows. Now comes the tricky part.

Hold your scissors at a slight angle, making an initial straight cut across.

I’d advise you to start from the middle section and work outward. It’s easier to make a more extended cut later if needed.

Now, check if they are even and trim the sides to make them even.

You can apply some hair styling products to give it a glossy look.

2. Wrap-Up

So, to sum it up, there are many ways to style your short hair. And the list does not stop here; there is a whole spectrum to choose from.

Every strand, every curl, and every sleek line is an expression of your personality, so pick the one that suits you the best.

So grab your styling tools and transform your hair into a canvas of endless possibilities.
