Some
hairdressers might call this a short shaggy bob.
Others might call it a short layered style with flicks.
A razor
is used along the edges to create that flicked rough
look. The most stunning aspect of this style is
the masterful highlights and lowlights which have been
perfectly applied to show off the gorgeous haircut and
to work with the model's gorgeous skin and eye tones.
This
style is versatile and can be worn as wash, wear,
scrunch and air dry or it can be styled into a more
finished style.
Styling
mousse is very popular and has been refined to include
many different types.
Whether
you wish to go with a soft finish or take maximize the
texture, as done if this first style, you need to first
start with a precision short cut.

This
very short hairstyle was cut with a combination of a
scissors or shears with some detailing done around the
face line and the perimeter with a razor.
The
front of the style has a forehead hugging fringe while
the interior has short layers. The hair in back is
cut down to hug the nape of the neck.
This
short style also offers the advantage to really play up
hair color, whether your own or an added hue.
Working
with hair color is important because it can add the
appearance of fullness and dimension to thin or fine
strands.
In the
case of this style, a medley of rich dark reds have been
carefully layered to create a glimmering of shine and
highlights.

Steal This Short Style
The front of this style is cut with
scissors or shears to be worn soft and sleek and swept
to one side. The rest of the style is cut to hint
at an asymmetrical design. The back is cut with
graduated layers and is disconnected throughout the
interior. The ends are layered and then razored to
help them stick out naturally.
To Style:
Shampoo with color maintaining formula,
follow with a light rinse out conditioner (unless hair
gets too soft) and cool/cold final rinse.
Towel blow, part to one side for the side swept fringe.
Apply firm holding gel or mousse (depending on the hold
you desire) to damp strands. For lots of volume at
the crown apply volume enhancer at roots.
Starting at the front side swept fringe
area, use a blow dryer with a small or medium sized
round brush and blow dry strands into desired placement.
Once the front and sides are dried, use
larger round brush and move towards the back. Lift
individual sections wrapping strands around the brush
while directing airflow from the dryer. Keep the
surface tight and smooth as you dry your strands.
As you work around the top and back of your head, flip
the ends up using the brush and the blow dryer.
Finish with firm holding hairspray.
Mist hairspray undernead the flipped edges for extra
hold. Apply a few drops of shine serum to palms of
hands and lightly brush over the top of the style for
extra shimmer.
Summary
This style requires a little extra styling time but has a sassy,
flirty look that is young and fresh and sexy. Because the
edges are razored, the ends will have a rough appearance and will
easily flick up.
