Make a Short Hairstyle Cute

Ever had one of those times when you can't find anything to do with your hair? Well, I have and having a short (like short, short) hairstyle can't help. Follow these steps to find a cute and new hairstyle that will suit you well.

Steps

  1. Determine what color of hair looks best on you, whether natural or dyed. Hold up swatches of dyed hair to your face to visualize your perfect color.
  2. Determine your hair type. To tame thick and curly hair, try layering it a bit to help it fall nicely. Try different products to increase the volume of your hair because it really helps!
  3. Determine your face shape. Different face shapes require different hair styles. Refer to the list below to find the best look according to your face shape.
    • Oval - An oval shaped face is almost exactly like a round one, only thinner. A cute hairstyle for this shape of face is pigtails at the top of your neck and bangs swept away to the side. Very cute yet sexy.
    • Square - A square shaped face is more muscular than most. If you want a more girlish look, try getting a short pixie cut and try making it a bit thicker if you have thin hair.
    • Heart - A heart shaped face usually has nice cheek bones and most people want to emphasize it. To do that, try spiking your hair a bit in the back and growing out long bangs; it will really frame your face.
    • Round - A round shaped face can be cute and child-like, almost angelic. To make the innocence stand out (along with cuteness and pretty) you should try a shaggier hairstyle with messy bangs. Or you can lay it flat and have it curl under and have bangs blend into your hair.
    • Diamond - A diamond shaped face is cute and looks nice. A hairstyle to really bring out the cuteness of your face is to spike it in little spikes.

Tips

  • If you have bangs, wash your face every day because oil from your hair can clog your pores.
  • If you hate your hair color, dye it with a color complimenting your skin such as brown hair and tan skin, blonde hair with pale skin, and black hair with darker skin
  • Wash your hair every other day and use less conditioner and shampoo than you usually would with longer hair
  • Get a trim every two months or so just to keep your hair neat and tidy
  • When spiking hair, try to get cute, little spikes but if you want mohawk-ish spikes, be my guest.

Warnings

  • Barrettes and clips can be cute but don't use too many because it will look ridiculous.
  • Don't use a permanent dye the first time dying your hair - you may hate the color and it could turn out wrong
  • Do not use a ton of hair products - it will make your hair look and feel greasy and that's just gross.
  • Using an outrageous color for dye will most likely get you unwanted attention

Things You'll Need

  • Clips; Barrettes
  • Deep cleaning shampoo and conditioner
  • Mousse
