3 Easy Hairstyles For Short Hair & Volume Tips!

Hey everyone and welcome back to my channel today. I thought i would do a hair tutorial. How many years has it been, since i did a hair tutorial who remembers this one yeah, that's me anyway. Today, i thought i would show you three easy hairstyles that are great for short hair, but also can be done on longer hair too, but these are also really really great if you have a second day or third day hair that needs a wash, but you just Can'T be bothered to do it because, let's face it, who wants to wash their hair? Not me, okay, so first up, we've got the half up, half down, which i think works really well for second day hair. So what you want to do is just grab this section up here, grab a little section to the side of it and just using my hands, i literally just kind of brush through and neaten up my hair. My hair is quite short and fine, so i don't have loads and loads to include into this section. So what i do is this back section here. I sometimes take bits down, because i want this bottom section to look really thick still. So, as you can see, i'm just kind of getting this all up. I don't mind if i have a few bits hanging down here and there, because i, like my hair to be quite undone and messy. So once you have this section here, you want to use a scrunchie or a bobble. I actually like a scrunchie for this, because it doesn't pull so much on your hair and i just put it into a nice little bun. Now that looks cute in itself and, to be honest, a lot of the time. I would just leave it like this. However, if you don't like this, pointing up so much, you can use a little clippy clip and what i like to do is just grab the kind of spiky sections and under the bun there you can just kind of clip that in you can also include the Little bit of hair - that's left over in that clip as well, and that kind of keeps it all a little bit more kind of discreet and flat. You can obviously have that as flat or as kind of bun like as you want, but i think that looks really cute, so that is the first super easy hairstyle honestly. How long does that take like two minutes but yeah the messier, the better as well? That'S what i say: okay, so next up we're going to do a couple of really simple braids. Now i actually love a double braid, but i have done a video on that. So i will leave that linked down below. I'Ve also got a little real on that over on my instagram as well so check that out, but these ones are front braids, and i really like these they're super easy. You don't need to be a master of braids either. So what i like to do is just take the front section of hair, and then i just clip this side back just to keep it out of the way. So then, what you want to do is just get the top bit and section this into three. Like so and then, rather than going over the top we're actually going to take the bits of hair underneath so the front section goes underneath the middle and then the back section goes underneath the middle and then the front section goes underneath the middle, and you basically Want to carry this on right till the end. Don'T do it too tight, because we want it to look quite loose and boho. It could be great if you have thicker hair, because obviously your braid will be thicker. My hair is quite fine. So that's why my braid is quite small, but we are going to do a little trick just to fix that. So once you have your braid done, you basically want to go down your braid and just kind of stretch it out, and this really helps make the braid look thicker than what it is. So, as you can see, the top section of the braid here looks a lot thicker than the bottom section and that's all to that kind of pulling and just stretching the braid a little bit. So once you're happy with your braid, you want to grab a kirby grip and you want to just take that there and then grip it in like so, and then you can kind of play around with this section. If you want it to be a little bit. Looser you can kind of pull the braid out a little bit, give it a bit of movement and volume there like so, and then you want to repeat that on the other side, so there we go quite a simple look, but as you can see, it's just Really nice to see those pops of braids, rather than just clipping these sections back. I really love how this looks. It keeps the front sections of my hair off my face and, like i said it's great, if you just can't bother to wash your hair, this last look is probably the easiest hair look ever. You just need a comb like this and you just want to take your parting all the way round to the back of your neck. Like so and then, when you have one side, you want to just secure that away, so it doesn't get in your way and then over this side, we're just going to basically put our hair into a bun so similar to this, but better. It'S always a really good idea to have your bubble on your wrist ready to go, and i actually going to pull out some hair at the front, because i really like how that looks when it hangs down and then we're just going to tie this into a Bun like so, and then, if you get these spiky bits, you can actually tuck these back in under that kind of pouch of hair. Obviously, the longer your hair is the harder this might be, but all you need to do is just wrap the hair around, rather than just doing the bun like what i've done same to this side. Again, if you want any little sections of hair hanging out, you can pull those. You can also just give it a bit of volume. You want to just tie it like a ponytail and then the last one. Don'T pull the bun all the way through and then this section of hair you can just tuck that in underneath, if it lets you, my hair is quite short. Hence why these little bits look a bit spiky. This doesn't really bother me, but if it does bother you, you can also grab the spiky bit and wrap it back into the bobble. So it's kind of like tied into the bobble or you can also get a kirby grip and just kind of stab it back into the bun. But, like i said, i actually quite like the spiky bits, a bit of personality to the look and again if your hair is even shorter than mine, and you still want this look, you could just leave it in little buns, which is very similar to this style. So yeah, so this is one of my faves, so the first thing that i do before i do any hairstyle, even if my hair is clean, is put some dry shampoo free. This gives your hair some kind of texture and some volume at the root. This one is great it's by got to be it's the instant refresh, it doesn't leave white spots in your hair, which i love so yeah, as you can see instantly refreshed and volumized. If i need any backcombing for these looks somebody and some thickness in my hair, i would always use a tangle teaser. My dog has had this one. So that's why it looks a bit gross, and so i just backcomb it like so just to get a bit of body, and i have done this for years. Tangle teasers are great for this kind of thing because, as you can see instantly, you have loads of volume to work with love tangle teaser. Lastly, if you're really really struggling for volume, this product is amazing: it's biosis, it's the volume up hairspray and you can spray this anywhere. It just gives you instant volume. I'Ve used this for years, and also my mum loves it too. So guys those are the three hairstyles that i wanted to show you today.
