Short hair crush

Slay in short hairstyles like JADA PINKETT SMITH with these few sneaky tricks.

Short hair often seems like the easiest option when it comes to hairstyles. You can jump into the shower, run your fingers through it and off you go! The reality is different, however. Women with cropped or very short relaxed hair like Jada Pinkett Smith know the work that comes with styling it every single morning.

THE EXPERT ROUTE

A professional cut is the first step. Super avant garde hairdos require loads of heat styling to make them runway perfect. Your cut should look good before you even start styling it with your heating wand. Layers are great, but be careful of thinning your hair too much, especially if your tresses lack volume.

GO STRAIGHT

On lazy days, go for the sleek and clean look. Getting this right by wrapping hair in your desired style the night before. In the morning, smooth over a little frizz serum and voila.

GET TEXTURE

Before you go for the chop, decide if you are going to have your hair relaxed straight or texturised slightly to leave in your natural curl. The curly look is easiest if you want fussfree hair. After your shower, apply a curl-cream or mousse, scrunch hair with your fingers and allow it to dry naturally.

A LITTLE DETAIL

With cuts that are voluminous, it’s easy to add dimension with little plaits or braids that you can tie up or wear down. If your hair is too short, add a little extra something to the style with glam hair grips or pins.
