Easy Hair Styles

Easy Hair Styles For Short Hair

My definition of the term "easy hair styles" is: "wash, towel dry, leave the house". Sound impossible? Well, it might be a bit too easy, I'll admit, but you can get pretty close if you try.

For the ultimate in easy hair styles nothing compares with short hair. Short hair can be ruler-straight, chopped or layered, or tight curls ala perm.

The hallmark of no-fuss, no-fuss, short hair is no products. That's right. With the right cut you can wash, towel or blow dry, and walk away. Well, maybe a bit of styling products for special effects and easy hair styling and even some anti frizz treatment on high humidity days, but that should be about all you need.

You can tell how easy a hair style is going to be by what your stylist does when she's done cutting it. If all you get is a simple blow dry and a few passes of the comb or brush and some styling products for finish, then you've got an easy hair style.

However, if your stylist needs to apply too many styling products, or spends time working the blow dryer, then your mission has failed.

Styling Medium-length Hair

If short hair isn't your thing, then perhaps a medium-length bob is more your style. You can even add some basic style to your hair without overshooting your easy hair styles goal. One of the most dramatic improvements can be achieved by simply having your stylist add some layers to your hair.

Layers give the impression of volume and change your look from boring straight to long and sensual. A simple blow-dry, and a quick pass of your fingers through the layers afterwards, should revive your doo every time. Keep the weight factor in mind though because once your hair starts getting too heavy those layers will develop a mind of their own.

Of course, it is possible to have easy hair styles that are long as well. While there is nothing easier to manage than the good old ponytail, that particular look isn't right for all women, especially older women, nor is it right for all occasions.

The difference between long beautiful hair, and a messy mane, can be as simple as having your hair thinned from time to time. This is a great way to reduce your hair's weight without affecting the length. Excessive hair weight is the enemy of all long hair styles. Split-ends aren't your friend either so get them trimmed every six to eight weeks. If you have hair trimming scissors, and just a little bit of skill, you can do it yourself.

Since you expose so much of your hair to other people when you are sporting your easy hair styles, you might want to consider having your stylist add some subtle color highlights.
