Today's short hair cuts--trendy bobs, pixies and shags--are easy to maintain, but they do require a few styling products to look their best. If you're sporting a new short -do for the first time, stock your beauty arsenal with the best styling products for short hair cuts.
Pump up the volume
When you don't have a lot of hair flowing down your shoulders, you want what's on top of your head to feel full and fabulous. Give your roots a lift and your style will have that va-va-voom volume you desire. Several products can create the boost short trendy hair cuts need: root boosting mousse, volumizing gel or volumizing spray. If you want to give your hair extra shine but don't want to weigh down your hair with a lot of other products, try a spritz of lightweight leave-in conditioner.
Bring on the curls
Short curly hair cuts make quite a statement. Keep curls looking their best by setting them up for success in the shower-use a shampoo made for curly-haired girls and finish up with a richly hydrating leave-in conditioner. While your hair is still wet, work in a strong hold gel to keep curls perfect. If you like a softer style, dry with a diffuser and use a frizz cream made for curly hair to keep curls in check.
Sleek and shiny
Short trendy hair cuts such as the bob look best sleek. Shiny hair starts in the shower, too-wash with a color-enhancing or clarifying shampoo to keep your locks from looking drab. You should also work a bit of anti-frizz or shine serum through your wet hair before you dry it to tame any flyaways. To complete your look, spritz on some shine spray.
Tousled texture
A spray wax can give you playful choppy texture. After you dry your hair, spritz it on and work it in with your fingers. It'll add volume and give you that feeling of second day hair. Another option is to work a wave-enhancing texture cream through your short haircut while it's still wet. Twist your hair into small sections and allow your hair to air dry. Once your hair is dry, use wax or a light hairspray to perfect the look.
