Hey, Shorty! 6 Hairstyles for Short Hair

Cropped locks are a gorgeous thing and, as such, we’d like to showcase some brilliant ways you short haired gals can finagle your tiny tresses. It’s true that haircuts that end above the shoulders sort of get the short end of the stick (pun totally intended) when it comes to blogger and vlogger tutorials, but there are some fabulous how-to’s out there. With a little assistance from our friends at blogs such as A Beauty Mess, The Beauty Department, Twist Me Pretty and a few others, we’ve rounded up some new looks for you to try ASAP. Or tomorrow. Or whenever you get a chance. XO, darlings!

AnnaRose says to start with clean and dry hair and then take 1-inch sections starting from the bottom. The trick is to bend your hair against the flat iron and to only crimp 3/4 of the shaft. The remaining 1/4 is curled with a curling iron in the opposite direction. Get the entire scoop on the blog — there are lots of nuggets of info you don’t want to miss!
