Short hairstyles for women are great for many reasons. It's usually easier to manage; takes less time to wash, style and dry; and is perfect for showing off your beautiful face shape. What some people tend to forget is that shorter hairstyles still need care and attention to keep the locks looking healthy and beautiful. Shorter hairstyles tend to lose their shape and style faster than their longer counterparts. Split ends are also more noticeable with shorter hair. Just like with any other hair length, proper hair care is very important but surprisingly simple with a few tips.
Wash, condition, and style your hair with the right products. If you have fine, limp hair, use lighter products, otherwise the product can weigh down your hair, making it harder to add volume. If you have kinky, frizzy hair, use leave-in conditioners to tame the frizz and make the hair more manageable. Depending on dry your hair is, you might also want to try a hot oil treatment every couple of weeks.
Don't wash your hair every time you shower. It comes natural to at least wash the hair with plain water without shampoo or conditioner while in the shower, but that may dry out the scalp and hair too much, making the shorter hairstyle harder to manage.
Trim your hair at least every four weeks to manage split ends. Short hairstyles for women make it harder to hide split ends, and they can also ruin the shape and overall style of the hair. Short hairstyles for women also tend to grow out of the original style faster than other hairstyles.
Follow other general hair care tips. This includes not combing hair while wet to avoid breakage, avoid chlorinated water, and use an SPF-enriched hair product or wear a hat when spending long periods of time outside in the sun.
