As often as we post hair tutorials we get requests for short hair ideas. Today, we've pulled together a few of our favorite, simple hair ideas for ladies with shorter hair. Enjoy!
1. Separate your hair into three ponytails. 2. Using bobbypins, twist and pin the ponytail into a small bun. 3. Repeat this process with each ponytail for a completed look!
1. Take a small section of hair at the front of your hair line (or directly behind your bangs). 2. Twist a piece inward all the way to the end of the strand and pin in place. 3. Then, taking another section directly beneath the first, twist it and pin it back over the first twist so that both are secure. 4. Done!
1. Begin by teasing at the root of your hair on the top of your head. 2. Flip your hair back over and fluff it with your fingers. 3. Next, pin back your bangs underneath the teased section. 4. Then, take the teased section and wrap it around your finger, creating a tube. 5. Turn your finger to the side and pin the tube like section in place. 6. Finish by tugging on small sections at the top to create a fuller looker.
Take a section at the front of your hairline, twist into a small bun, and pin in place. 2. Repeat this process three times, twisting in different directions.
Do you have any other favorite hairstyles for shorter hair? Please share.
ETA: Haha! So many comments correcting our use of the word "short". Ok, ok... it's medium hair. You're right.
This hair tutorial was created in collaboration with Sarah Chapman, a professional hair stylist at Blu Skies Hair Studio in Springfield, Missouri. If you're local, give her a call!




When I had short hair, I loved putting my hair in a low rolled like up-do. Sorta like the first one. I love the last one, so cute and simple.

I just chopped off all my hair, and now even these short hair pictures seem like long locks. :)

I used to have short hair, I mean Victoria Beckham bob short. And my go to up-do was just pinning pieces all over in little buns. Now it's long and I still go to a bun when I'm annoyed with the weight of it. :)

Nifty styles! I've been surprised to find that I do more with my hair now that it's short (currently an overgrown lazy bob) than when it was very long. I'd love more ideas for shorter hair :)
