This visually stunning short hairstyle is perfect for
any Prom, special event, Wedding or similar dress up
hair occasion.
The style which was created by Carlton Hair of Irvine, California
and combines a sleek classic chin length Bob with expertly chipped
bangs sculpted to form a circular fringe along the top of the
hairline.
One side of this perfectly balanced hairstyle has a ruffle of hair
designed to splay out along the side of the face and is highlighted
with tiny ribbons woven with creamy white and contrasting
orange dreams icle.
The very tops of the hair is splashed with similar orange highlights
which radiate from the crown to the outer edges in a random pattern
offsetting the snow white platinum tresses.
Partnered with a retro style Prom gown, the look is eye popping
and mouth dropping.
If you wish to soften or add a dash of romance, slide on a very
thin silk or satin headband or one that is embellished with tiny
rosettes. To punk up the look pop on a tiara or tiara comb
like Fergie, Pink or Gwen Stefani. Of course you can also go
with a skinny crystal or glitter encrusted headband for instant
shimmer.
Step By Step Instructions - Sassy Short Hair Dressy Hairstyle
Listed below are the detailed steps you should follow to recreate
this spectacular Sassy Short Dressy Hairstyles
-
Shampoo hair with
product designed for your specific type, texture and
current condition of hair.
Note: Consider using color enhancing
products such as
John Frieda's
Brilliant Brunette,
Sheer Blonde and
Radiant Red shampoo, conditioner or styling
formulas to punch up highlights, lowlights and
make
contrasting hues pop.
- Finish shampoo treatment with a
rinse-out conditioning product
designed for your hair type, texture and condition. Skip this
step if your hair is fine, thin or flatten easily.
- Complete the final rinse with cool/cold water rinse to close
cuticles and blow open the cuticles.
- Towel blot hair to remove excess water and to
assist styling products with easier absorption.
- Apply
detangling spray or
leave-in/detangler
formula and working from the
ends to the roots, carefully
detangle strands.
- When hair is completely detangled, apply a styling cocktail that
includes a mixture of leave-in conditioner and/or styling cream or
mousse.
If your hair is naturally curly or wavy, you may
wish to apply a
straightening balm or
defrisant.
Note: If your hair requires extra hold
you may wish to apply a styling glaze and/or
gel in
addition to a leave-in product. If you prefer
lots of
volume apply
volume styling products.
-
Use a
blow dryer
which is set on medium heat and a small boar's
bristle vent, paddle or round brush. Separate
hair into 2-4 inch sections with one hand as you
direct the heat "down the shaft" from the "roots to
the ends" with the blow dryer to achieve the silky
smooth panels of hair.

- Continue to work completely around your head from side to side
working with individual sections until the entire
head has been completely dried and straightened.
-
Apply dab of
styling cream to the dry section of hair that forms
the side ruffle. Back comb the section to get
the desired "wing" formation. If you prefer,
use a
wide barrel curling iron to wrap around the
section for 30 seconds. Allow the section to
cool, back comb and arrange with your fingers.
If you use
a curling iron be sure to use a
heat protection product.
Note: If you prefer to style this
ruffle when hair is damp,
apply gel, glaze or
desired styling product and use brush to lift while
you
blow dry.
- If you wish to get a ultra sleek finish, run a
small bed straightening iron through the hair in 2"
section. Use
hot iron on all sections.
- Finish with a
shine enhancing hairspray or apply
a
few drops of shine serum to the palms of your
hands and swipe over the top of your tresses for
instant shimmer. Remember that a little goes a
long way. Avoid adding too much
shine product
to avoid oiliness.
Summary
The Sassy Short Hair Dressy Hairstyle is very flexible. It can be
worn sleek and shimmering with the side ruffle or it can
be tousled completely for a totally different look.
It can also be slicked back off the face with the side
panels gelled up into
mini-quiff. This style is perfect for all special Prom and Party
Hair events.
