How to Make Your Hair Seem Shorter
There are a few things you can do to make your hair seem shorter:
- Try a high ponytail
- Create a faux bob
- Wear a headband or scarf
- Use hair pins to tuck in your hair
- Try a braid
Let's dive into each of these techniques and learn how to achieve them.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. High Ponytail
Start by brushing your hair and gathering it at the crown of your head. Secure it with a hair tie, making sure it's tight enough to hold your hair in place. Then, use bobby pins to create a pouf at the top of your head. This will give the illusion of a shorter hairstyle.
2. Faux Bob
Begin by parting your hair down the middle. Then, take small sections of your hair and roll them up towards your scalp, securing them with bobby pins. Continue doing this until all of your hair is pinned up. Finally, tuck the ends of your hair under and secure them with more bobby pins. You now have a faux bob.
3. Headband or Scarf
Place a headband or scarf around your head, pushing it back towards your hairline. Make sure to leave some hair out in the front. Then, tuck in the ends of your hair into the headband or scarf to make it appear shorter.
4. Hair Pins
Take small sections of your hair and twist them back towards your scalp. Then, use hair pins to secure them in place. Continue doing this until all of your hair is pinned up. This will create the illusion of a shorter hairstyle.
5. Braid
Start by brushing your hair and gathering it to one side. Then, create a loose braid and secure it with a hair tie. Finally, use your fingers to gently pull apart the braid to make it appear thicker and shorter.
