How to Pull Off a Short Hair Style

No one rocks the short hair style better than Keira Knightly. It’s short, piecey, and very hip. “Pirate” her look and snag your very own Jack Sparrow this Valentine’s Day!


1. Because short hair styles need lots of body, the best way to bulk up strands is by adding protein. Start by washing with a protein-rich shampoo, such as Lanza Hair Repair Formula Protein plus Shampoo. If your hair is dry or damaged, follow up with a conditioner like Graham Webb Classic Silk Repair Protein Conditioner. For normal to oily hair, skip the conditioner.


2. Towel dry hair. While it’s still damp, vigorously massage in Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam. Spray at the roots to give lift. Blowdry hair upside down with a ceramic model (to avoid damage) while tousling.


3. When hair is almost dry, flip hair back up, and mist with a thermal spray like Chi 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray. It guards against heat damage and adds texture. Blowdry strands and style them forward. Because you’ll be using two heated appliances, it is extremely important to use a high-quality dryer.


4. Holding hair at the roots, straighten only the ends to prevent volume-loss. Choose a ceramic iron to enhance shine and prevent damage.


5. Finish with a little bit of shine pomade. Use a natural product, such as Alterna Hemp Seed Sheer Pomade, so your short style won’t be weighed down. Gently ruffle hair back and forth with fingers and palms, starting in the back and moving forward. Smooth and separate pieces with fingers.

Do It Up in 2007: New Textured Updo for the New Year

Nothing says classy like a chic updo to highlight your face and show off sexy shoulders. This year’s newest updo is not tightly pulled back, but textured to give the perfect mix of luxe and laid-back.

1. To avoid slippery strands, hold hair upside down and apply a styling spray all over for volume and a matte finish. Then lightly back-comb the top sections starting at the roots and move to the ends. This gives your hair oomph without the damage.

2. Gather hair into a low ponytail at the right above the nape of the neck. Do not flatten the top. Use a pick-comb to smooth back and style the top into a soft pout. Mist lightly with an aerosol hairspray. For a more casual look, pull out a few face-framing wisps.

3. Finish by pulling the elastic holding your ponytail away from the scalp, to loosen it up a bit. Twist the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic, close to the scalp. Secure ends with bobby pins. To prevent hair from unraveling, place pins between the scalp and elastic.
