Gone are the days of brides, bridesmaids and event goers growing out their locks for an upcoming special occasion. With a modern array of effortless styling options for shorter hair up and down styling; and with a cohesive look for bridesmaids overriding the clone style this season, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate those in tune enough to embrace and rock their shorter lengths.
Here are some of my favourite ways to style shorter hair for an event:
Deep side part
One of my most popular requested looks, waves with a deep side part and completed with a statement accessory piece. I love this style because it is just as effective and stunning on any length, but really a show-stopper on a bob length style.
Twisted half up
The perfect mix of hair up and down with a boho edge. This style is a popular one for bridesmaids and beach weddings. I love the way it can be worn with a lot or little hair around the face depending on the desired result.
Low Bun
I love a low bun on bob length hair as it is often unexpected that it would be possible to create this, making it seem like the hair up is created with longer hair. As a bonus, we have the perfect face framing length to work with..
High bun
Much like the low bun with the perfect face framing pieces, the high bun also is one that can surprise people with getting those lengths up in this way. With a clever pinning technique, we can secure the style with it still looking super effortless. I also love leaving shorter pieces out around the nape for softness.
Modern french roll
Perfect for lovers of sleek and simple. I love the modern French roll as it suits everyone - from bride to bridesmaid and mother of the bride. This style is the perfect accompaniment to a high or statement gown neckline.
Wet Look
Chic and sexy, the wet look always looks super modern minimalist. This style works so beautifully on shorter lengths for our edgy bride.
Textured half knot
Keeping it relaxed, simple and modern with a textured half knot is a soft and sweet look for brides and bridesmaids. Finish with stacked slide pins for a super modern feel.
Volume swept back
Sweeping hair off the face can be so face flattering, and give a sexy, effortless feel to a brides look. Also, this style is the perfect choice in any weather.
Statement accessory
For my bling lovers - short hair teamed with a beautiful accessory is a vibe. My tip - make the accessory the focal point and create a soft and subtle style around it to still give an effortless feel.
sleek and smooth
Understated with simplicity, the humble smooth blow-wave is making a comeback in a big way. I just love the way it makes such a statement on this length hair.
There you have it my short haired friends, plenty of stunning options to get you embracing your length for your next special outing!
Modern midi
Such a popular look this season, mid height with chunky face framing. The key with this look? Leave your perfection at the door and allow pieces to spike out to add edginess to the style.
Mini pony
Ponytails aren’t just reserved for those with all the length. Mid length perky pony’s have proven to be just as fun this season, and have shown us that not every pony needs extensions to be beautiful.
