I have had my hair cut short before and I know what a pain it can be trying to come up with hairstyles that work on shorter hair. This is again one of those hairdos that is not so much about the technique as it is about the idea of it. I would recommend for this 'do that you have hair at least to your shoulders. I don't personally have short hair anymore so I will be demonstrating on my sister, who does have short hair.
You want to start with the hair curled. The method of curling is up to you, but I used a 1 in. straightener.
To start off this hairstyle, I took the first curl from the front of the face, loosely twisted it, and pinned it. I pinned it towards the right side of the head, because I wanted this to be more of a side 'do. Repeat this process on the other side of the head, pinning towards the side you prefer.
To create the curly part of the "bun" take small sections of curled hair and wrap them around two fingers. Bobby pin in place. (If you wanted to, a cute touch would be to pin the wrapped hair with colorful butterfly clips) You may want to check your work as you go in a mirror if you choose to do it on yourself.
So this is what it should look like when you are done! (Just a Note: When you are pinning the far sections into the "bun" you may not even need to wrap before pinning. Just let the curled ends work for you)
You could leave it like it was in the picture above, but when it comes to short hair, my best advice is to accesorize as much as possible. Here I have used some jeweled spin pins, to add some sparkle. You could also do like in the picture below and use one of my favorite ways to accesorize -- add a headband! Headbands in general just add so much more interest to the front of the face. I thought the bow on this particular headband was super cute and I couldn't resist! Have fun creating this hairdo, and let me know in the comments below what look you want me to do next!
pretty :)
