Do you want to experiment with shorter hair but don't want to commit to a haircut? Luckily, there are plenty of ways to make your hair appear shorter without actually cutting it! In this article, we'll go over some tips and tricks to help you achieve the look you want.
How To
1. Try a bob
A bob haircut is a classic way to make your hair appear shorter. However, if you're not ready to commit to a haircut, you can fake a bob by tucking your hair under and securing it with bobby pins. This works best if you have shoulder-length hair or longer.
2. Use a hairband
Another way to create the illusion of shorter hair is to use a hairband. Pull your hair back into a low ponytail and then slide the hairband up towards your earlobes. This will create a faux-bob look that's perfect for a night out.
3. Create a messy bun
A messy bun is a great hairstyle for making your hair appear shorter. Gather your hair into a high ponytail and then twist it into a bun. Pull out a few strands to create a messy look.
