Styling Short Hair Quickly

Q: How can I quickly style my short hair?

It's relaxed and short on the sides and I end up bumping it every morning just so it looks right.

It is too short to wrap completely around my head so I tie it down at night and it's flat to my head when I get up.

Please help!

A: I hate to be the one to tell you this but unless you can master the art of sleeping with your chin propped up on your hand you're likely gonna have to keep on fussing with your hair in the morning.

If you wear the "bumped" look and you can't seem to keep the basic style together at night you can try one of two things.

1. Spend a little more time before you go to bed putting in some of the very small magnetic rollers and hair pins right on top where you usually bump so you still have the lift in the morning but you don't end up having to use the iron daily.

2. Rock a Josephine Baker look and wet wrap your hair let it dry that way and don't comb it out.

The second choice is easier to deal with sleeping because you just have to tie your silk or satin scarf around your head at night and in the morning you're golden.

At the end of the day though having to mess with your hair more than you'd like is one of the "challenges" of rocking a short hair style.

Luckily the payoff is that of course, you are seen as a sassy lady!

Hope this helps and let me know how it turns out if you try one of these methods.
