5 Ways To Style Short Hair With Halo Hair Extensions

The other day, I had one of those moments where I decided wearing my hair down, as per usual, wasn't good enough. It was one of those days I felt like doing something different.

They usually occur on the same day I feel inspired to put a little bit more effort into my outfit. It was then I realised—I had no idea how to style my short hair.

Here's the thing: I'm on a serious mission to grow my hair. But, right now it's shoulder-level short and on the thin side.

So, hairstyles for short hair like mine can be limiting. Fortunately, I've got the numbers of some very talented beauty experts.

I chatted with hair and makeup artist Amelia Webb, who took me through her go-to short hairstyles.

Whether you're looking for hair inspiration for a special event or daily hairstyle ideas, these easy hairstyles are just what you need to turn up your hair game.

But first, your short hair questions answered:

How do I know if short hair will suit me?

If you don't have short hair yet, but you're doing your due diligence to decide whether to get the chop, consider this: There are hairstyles for short hair that suit any face shape.

A bob or long bob ("the lob") haircut is one of the best short haircuts for round faces, or any other face shape.

But, remember, the way you style your part or fringe determines how your short haircut will suit your face.

Whether that means you opt for a middle part, side part, bangs, or lots of layers.

Generally, short hairstyles tend to suit oval and long faces or heart-shaped faces.

Short hairstyles are good for round faces too, especially super short pixie cuts and side swept bobs.

How can I properly maintain my short hair?

Depending on the length of your short haircut (Is it chin length or shoulder-length?), you'll want to get a hair trim every 4 to 8 weeks.

This will not only get rid of dry strands and split ends, but will also keep your short hair very healthy and make your style always look fresh.

Aside from regular cuts, don't overload your short hair with product like leave-in conditioners, hair oils, or hair serums—especially if you have thin or flat hair. It could have the opposite effect.

Instead of smoothing out and taming your frizz, your hair can turn into a greasy mess instantly.

Which hairstyles for short hair are the best?

Short hair is a perfect low-maintenance hairstyle on the daily. Although, when it comes to styling short hair to change up your look, it can get a little tricky.

More often then not, you find yourself wishing you had more hair for that updo or top knot.

Lucky for you, there are some super easy hairstyles you can create with short hair. And if you need a little extra volume, we've got just the thing!

Try these 5 short hairstyles to mix up your look:

1. The Side Part

Let's start with the basics. If you're getting bored of the same 'do, hair clips and accessories are key.

Not only are statement hair clips practically the most viral hair trend right now, but they take seconds to put on and can quickly transform your look.

2. Braided Fringe

You and your short locks may have given up on braids a long time ago. But, no need to neglect braids and plaits completely!

You can still enjoy this trendy short hairstyle in the form of a braided or plaited fringe.

If wearing your hair down is more in your comfort zone, braiding or plaiting your fringe is a great way to style your short hair for something different without tying all your hair back.

If you have short hair and you need more volume, you might love our halo hair extensions to give your short haircut more oomph.

3. The Top Knot

Is it just me, or is the top knot one of those hairstyles that is here to stay?

Personally, I think this hairstyle is such a winner for one main reason: It gets me through those in-between days where I probably should have washed my hair already, but didn't (oops).

The top knot is the go-to laidback hairstyle for short hair. Not to mention, it's the perfect I-can't-be-bothered-but-need-to-fix-this-bad-hair-day hairstyle.

If you find your hair is too thin for half updos, you can do what Amelia does and wear The Halo when you create this half updo with your short hair.

Our halo hair extensions will give you more volume underneath your hair, so you can afford to tie more hair into your top knot.

4. Classic Low Bun

As much as you love your short haircut, there are going to be days where you wish you had long hair.

It might be a special dinner where you want your hair in a classic updo, or you just wish you could tie your short hair back without it looking so thin.

You're not alone, fnd for those days, we have the THICK Halo.

The THICK halo is a 160g halo hair extension that lets you transform your hair from short to long in seconds.

Once you've got more hair to work with, you can easily create an elegant low bun like Amelia.

To create this low bun, Amelia puts on her Halo, then ties it into a ponytail and twists her hair into a messy bun. Finish it off by using bobby pins to secure it in place.
