How to style short hair

When I had long hair, I hardly ever bothered to style it. I just left it down or up in a messy bun. I find it much more fun to style my hair now, when its shorter. And its neither more complicated or time consuming. I guess that`s why I`ve liked my hair short for such a long time! Here are my four favorite ways of styling my currently short bob.

1: Natural. I usually wear my hair pretty natural, with a little help that is. It is naturally dry and light in texture. It easily gets messy with some sort of curl going on. So I use a good conditioning treatment, let it air dry, and fluff up the curls with some styling mousse. Add a headband, and it looks like this:

2:Straight forward. I prefer to straighten my hair if I`m going to dress up casually. I always use heat protective serum, and let it dry,  before bashing it with the straightening iron. I leave my bangs down or to the side. (mostly to the side out of habit)

3:Preppy! Well I`m not really preppy, and styling my hair like this often makes me feel like a whole different person! But sometimes that`s what you`re after, right? I sometimes need to straighten out my hair before I do this, but most of the time it works just fine with just some combing. I backcomb the back of my head, smooth it over again, and then just pin all the hair back behind the ears. If your bangs are too short, you could make a cute swirl, or just leave it like this:

4:Rock inspired: I love this look! Be brave and have fun. Mostly just make a big fluffy puff on top and pin back the sides. You could make braids on the sides, or just pin one side back to make an illusion of a side cut. With some heavier makeup and feathers this rocks:) 

Good luck, and have fun with your short hair!
