5 Easy to follow short hair tutorials

Whether you've recently got the chop or short hair is your signature style, these easy–to–follow tutorials will give your hair routine a much needed inspiration injection. 

1. Chic up–do

This hairdo looks far more complicated than it is, and the sophisticated style makes it ideal for occasions or business wear. 

Make sure you have plenty of kirby grips and hairspray to keep the style in place all day. 

 

 

2. Braided twists

A perfect look for an evening out, this tutorial is sure to make you look put–together, even if you got ready in a rush. 

Smoothing cream is the crucial ingredient here for embracing natural hair that's still under your control. 

 

 

3. Half up, half down

Left confused by dress codes that declare themselves 'smart/casual'? Us too. This half up, half down do strikes a perfect balance between relaxed and formal. 

Dress it down during the day and pair it with a smart dress in the evening. 

 

 

4. Textured French twist

This chic style could be straight out of an Audrey Hepburn film, and the only skill you really have to master is the humble braid. 

It looks especially nice with highlighted hair, as it showcases the different tones. 

 

 

5. Bouffant beehive

This look is all about the drama, and not one for the fashion faint hearted. 

The swinging sixties style is perfectly retro and looks great paired with a classic red lip.
