Short haircuts are chosen by active girls who don’t want to spend a lot of time on daily styling. But if you have a special event coming up, your hairstyle should be appropriate.
What kind of evening hairstyles for short hair can you come up with, how to do a festive hairstyle yourself and what is needed for this?
Romantic curls
Even on short hair, soft, romantic curls are great; in the photo are evening hairstyles for short hair made with a curling iron:
To create this style, wash your hair and dry your hair naturally, shaking your hair with your fingers.
- Apply gentle foam or mousse to your hair and divide into strands.
- Wind the strand around the curling iron and wait a few seconds, then carefully remove the resulting ring of hair from the curling iron.
- Press the ring with the iron for a few seconds and then secure with the clip. Repeat the same procedure with all strands in turn.
- Now start removing the clips in the same order in which you wound the strands. Separate each strand with your fingers, gently ruffle your hair and spray with hairspray.
- You can leave short bangs, but long ones should be curled along with the bulk of your hair.
This hairstyle can be quickly done using hot rollers, so you will gain time for applying makeup.
Evening hairstyles for short hair with long bangs
If you want crisp, neat spirals instead of soft, natural curls, you'll need special curlers.
These can be wooden spiral bobbins - with their help you will get small curls.
But wooden curlers have a huge drawback - you can't sleep on them, so you should try special soft curlers known as Magic Leverage.
This tool will help you create clear spirals if, before curling your hair, you apply a fixing gel to the strands and cover the final result with varnish.
When winding your hair with such curlers, you should be careful - you will not be able to separate the spirals with your fingers, so try to immediately take strands of the desired size. Also consider the desired direction of the curls, especially in the face area.
The trend is evening hairstyles for short hair with bangs - oblique elongated bangs, which should also be curled, are suitable for such curls.
If doing this with curlers is inconvenient, curl your bangs with a curling iron after working with the bulk of the hair is finished.
How to do festive corporate makeup: step-by-step lesson
There are a huge number of options for creating New Year's makeup for a corporate party. We will look at the main one - it is also universal or basic. Improvements are welcome!
Step by step guide:
- Create an even tone - disguise imperfections, apply foundation using a sponge, and powder. To ensure that your makeup stays on well, use a special foundation base, and blot the foundation with a cotton pad after application. Sculpting is done at will (the topic is voluminous, so read about ways to lighten and darken individual areas of the face in our other publications).
- Apply base shadow to the upper eyelid and, if desired, to the eyebrows.
- Apply dark shadows (gray, brown, etc.) in the form of a crescent on the outer corner of the eyelid. Blend the outer edge with a brush.
- Gently line the lower eyelid with a pencil - but not all of it, but half of it. Blend using eyeshadow of the same tone.
- Tint your eyelashes or apply buns.
- Shape your eyebrows.
- Apply blush carefully - it will refresh your face and make the look complete and at the same time lively.
- Paint your lips - just with gloss or lipstick, line them with a pencil or don’t use it, that is, do as you like.
Waves in the style of the 20s
20s-style waves can be achieved using a regular curling iron, but this style will be much faster if you use a triple curling iron.
This style can be done even with very short hair. Be sure to apply foam or mousse to your hair before styling, and after styling, apply glitter varnish.
The parting can be done in the middle or on the side - it depends on your haircut and the presence of bangs.
Curls and wet effect
Hair of any length can be curled into small curls; for this you will need wooden bobbins or paper curlers.
Wash your hair, apply light foam or mousse, curl your hair into bobbins or curlers and dry with a hairdryer.
Remove the curlers and tousle your hair with your fingers for stunning volume.
Among the fashionable evening hairstyles for short hair in 2021 is a wet effect on the hair, which can be achieved using a special gel. Hair can be combed back or parted.
It is allowed to use bobby pins and headbands to secure the hairstyle, but even without accessories this hairstyle looks stylish and elegant.
Cosmetics
We'll talk about how to apply makeup next. Now we will talk about what is needed for it:
- A base for the shadows - this way the shadows will apply better and last longer. Stay until the morning - no problem, your makeup will be just as beautiful as in the evening.
- Shimmer shadows - champagne, peach or emerald. These colors are the perfect base for evening makeup. Make your choice taking into account the color scheme of the outfit.
- Black matte shadows - they will highlight your eyes.
- Medium shades - used to highlight the crease of the eyelid and add depth to the look.
- Black pencil or liquid eyeliner - whichever is more convenient for you. Using a pencil you can make not only arrows, but also shading.
- Mascara for eyelashes - if you glue false tufts, any will do; if you plan to limit yourself to your natural eyelashes, go for volumetric ones. By the way, there can never be too many layers!
- Concealer, foundation (if you plan to sculpt, take two shades), powder and blush will help you create the perfect tone and beautiful blush.
- Eye shadow or eyebrow pencil.
- Lipstick, lip gloss, pencil - almost any shade of lipstick, gloss can be used, the main thing is that it suits you and does not look vulgar.
New Year's makeup allows the use of bright shadows and sparkles - it's a holiday after all!
Lush styling
If you dream of a voluminous hairstyle, but don't want to curl your locks, add volume to your hair.
The easiest way is to dry your hair with a hairdryer, tilting your head forward, this way you will form a root volume that can be fixed with a special spray.
All that remains is to shape the ends, and your styling is ready.
Another popular technique is women's evening hairstyles for short hair with backcombing, which is done using a fine-tooth comb.
Starting from the back of the head, process each strand in turn. Lift the strand up and perform frequent short movements from the ends of the hair to the head.
Pay special attention to the hair in the area of the crown and crown, fix each strand with hairspray on the underside.
When the topmost strand is processed, smooth the hair with a large brush.
After the event, do not try to comb your hair - you can get rid of combing only by washing your hair.
Boho hairstyles
Don't think that short hair can't be styled in a braid.
The photo shows women's evening hairstyles for short hair in boho style, which look great on light brown hair of a natural shade.
- Take a strand of hair just above your left temple and make a regular braid.
- Now cross the braid to the right side, add two strands from the right temple and weave the braid again.
- Now take strands from the left temple and braid a spikelet, connecting the edge of the braid with the edge of the second braid.
- The junction will be in the area between the crown and the back of the head. Secure the styling with bobby pins, a beautiful “crab” or an elastic band.
- This hairstyle will not work with very short hair, so use a different technique.
- Take three small curls just above the ear and braid, alternately picking up new strands on each side.
- When you reach the back of your head, secure the braid with a small elastic band.
- Comb the rest of your hair to the opposite side.
- You can duplicate the braid on the other side, making the hairstyle symmetrical, and comb the remaining hair back.
- You can use all your hair for braiding - the hairstyle will be comfortable and practical.
- Start braiding from the ear, gradually moving along the circumference of the head and picking up new strands.
The result is a wreath made from a braid, which can be secured with an elastic band or a bobby pin. Hide the ends of the hair under the braid, and cover the junction with a flower or bow.
In 2021, evening hairstyles for short hair are done using the macrame technique - the styling is ideal for bob or page haircuts.
Take a strand of hair just above your temple and make a braid. Now pinch the middle strand with the fingers of one hand and connect the two side strands with the other hand. Now stretch the side strands up along the central one - the braid will be transformed and become original. You can secure the result with an elastic band or a small “crab”.
Evening hairstyles with braiding for very short hair
Evening hairstyles for very short hair are not difficult to do if you use all kinds of weaves, you can even experiment with a pixie haircut.
Separate a section of hair along the forehead and braid it along the hairline, and place the remaining mass of hair above the braid. This style looks great on bright hair of unnatural colors.
A pageboy haircut can be greatly transformed if you braid your entire bangs into a fluffy braid, alternately picking up strands from different sides. A fishtail braid secured with a bright ribbon looks very elegant.
The waterfall braid looks great; it ranks high on the list of beautiful evening hairstyles for short hair.
Take a small strand of hair from the temple and begin to weave a spikelet towards the back of the head. Before draping the top strand over the middle strand, add some hair to the top strand.
Do not place the bottom strand on the middle one - lower it down each time, replacing it with a new strand. This style is suitable for both those with straight hair and curly fashionistas.
Coloring
Before starting to create a hairstyle, fashionistas rush to make an appointment at the salon, but the visit should not fall on the day before the event. Otherwise, you won’t have enough time to correct the result if it disappoints! At the same time, the color will have time to lose its excessive brightness, and the image will delight with naturalness.
It also becomes the rule when choosing a hair shade: Almost any tone will be in fashion in winter 2021, so you are free to choose strawberry blonde or rely on platinum shades. Golden variations are especially popular, but you need to be careful with their choice: when dyeing at home, the strands can acquire an unsightly yellow tint. Chestnut will also pamper you with a wealth of variations. You can use dark, almost black tones or opt for a trendy “hazelnut” look. Black is suitable for those who prefer rich, gothic looks. After all, “femme fatales” are always associated with dark strands and fiery eyes! The only condition that stylists set is the naturalness of the palette. Avoid unnatural undertones and you will love the results. If you don’t have time to do coloring a couple of weeks before your corporate event, it’s better to skip it altogether. Overgrown roots have long been a trend, but the difference between your natural color and the rest of your strands should not be more than a couple of tones. Stick to this rule and you will be great.
Hairstyles with chignons for short or medium hair
The photo of 2021 shows evening hairstyles for short hair with chignons, which can easily replace a lush head of hair for you during a special event.
The simplest option is to tie a ponytail at the top of your head and attach an artificial strand to create a long and fluffy ponytail.
The hair on the crown can be pre-combed, the bangs can be styled in waves or curled.
You can weave a braid from a chignon and lay it around an elastic band that secures the ponytail. We sell ready-made braided chignons with complex weaving, donut chignons, as well as lush buns of curls.
The main task is to choose a hairpiece that exactly matches your natural hair and fasten it so that the attachment point is not noticeable.
There are separate extension strands on sale, you can attach them in the back of the head to create a cascade haircut - this option can be used to create an evening hairstyle for medium or short hair.
Getting ready for a party: how to style your bangs?
If you have bangs, this is not a reason not to do your holiday hairstyle! Bangs can be used as a bright accessory.
Hollywood wave
If you are doing a smooth hairstyle, you can style your bangs in gentle Hollywood waves - provided, of course, that their length allows this. To get perfect waves, comb each section before styling with curling irons and take care of secure fixation.
Bangs back
If the hairstyle involves a headband or ribbon around the head, the bangs can be combed back - this will not only focus on the eyes, but will also add volume to the hairstyle. Just don’t forget about enough styling so that your hair doesn’t become disheveled ahead of time!
