Fabulous Hairstyle Tips for Women With Short Hair

Fabulous Hairstyle Tips for Women With Short Hair Some women, like actress Halle Berry and singer Pink, can really look good with short hair. However, generally speaking there are fewer short hairstyles out there compared to hairstyles for long hair, and as such many short-haired women looking for a beautiful hairstyle for a formal event like a wedding or prom might find this to be challenging. That said, do not give up hope! If you have short hair, there are ways in which you can still achieve a glamorous, gorgeous look.

First off, let's not forget that there are indeed advantages to having short hair. For example, it tends to be very low-maintenance and easy to manage. You won't worry about long curly hair flattening out during a formal event, or your hair being tousled into a mop by a strong wind. With short hair, you won't experience any of these hair mishaps and you can look elegantly stylish, relaxed and carefree no matter what the situation.

Some of the more unique short hair ideas for formal events I have stumbled on recently are listed below. Some of these involve the use of accessories to provide a more interesting look, and some focus on ideas to make your hair look longer if you want to have that effect during the event. Of course, these are not going to be for everyone; if not, you would be well-advised to check out websites, wedding magazines and fashion catalogs that feature pictures of hairstyles for short hair as well as additional ideas to help spruce them up.

So if you are preparing to attend an upcoming formal event and you are bored with your short hairstyle, here are some unique ideas that might be worth experimenting with, in no particular order.

  • If you need to create the illusion of having long hair, tie your hair up and attach a big jeweled clip or flower at the back.
  • Use a dainty headband to push back your hair.
  • Curl your hair into soft waves. Put little jeweled pins randomly around your hair to provide a glittering effect.
  • Use a long silk or a sheer sash, put it around the top of your head, and tie it at the nape of your neck.
  • Part your hair on one side and wear an intricate hairpiece.
  • Brush your hair upwards and use a pin to securely attach a headpiece of your choosing. You can also use a jeweled comb to achieve the same effect.
  • Take a tip from the Asians. Some Asian women with pixie cut hair clip their bangs on one side with a little flower clip.
  • If you absolutely, positively want your hair to appear longer at the event, you could always try hair extensions.

In the final analysis, sporting a short hairstyle shouldn't stop you from experimenting with different hairstyles and accessories. Whether you have short hair down to your chin or just above your shoulders, a bob cut or layered pixie cut, you can always play around with your hairstyle to find a unique, elegant look for any formal event. All it takes is a little creativity and imagination.
