You can give your cut extra volume by styling it with wax.Wax allows you to do a lot with a small amount of hair, from adding a little extra oomph to your regular style, to trying out a new look, like a side braid or fauxhawk.Try different styles until you find one that works for you.
Step 1: You should wash and condition your hair.
If you want to texturize your hair, you should start with clean locks because wax can build up quickly.If you don't have time to wash your hair, use dry shampoo to absorb some of the oil in it.If you have fine hair, volumizing products are great to use.There are products that promote deep-conditioning.
Step 2: Attach a root-lifter to your hair and towel-dry it.
To absorb most of the excess water, rub your hair with a dry towel.If you want to make your hair taller, spray the roots with a product made for volume.Volumizing products include sprays, foams, and gels.Since you will be using wax later on, spray or foam is less likely to weigh down your hair.
Step 3: Blow-dry your hair before styling it.
You can use a low-heat setting to protect your hair.For a more natural look, use a brush or just your fingers.If you want more volume, try blowdrying your hair upside down.
Step 4: If you want to change the shape of your hair, use a straightener or curler.
Hair wax can be added to any style to make it look more textured and amplify its effect.If you prefer a more natural look, skip this styling step.Use the lowest heat setting on your styling tools.
Step 5: Rub a small amount of wax between your hands.
Your hair will look greasy if you use too much wax.You can buy something from a salon or the drugstore.You don't have to use much product daily because your hair is so short.A container of wax can last a long time.
Step 6: Use circular motions to work the wax into your hair.
It's important to get the wax through every layer of your hair.As you move your hands through your hair, use a kind of plucking and rubbing motion.The texture and volume will be created by the wax.Don't worry about the style at this stage.The goal is to get the wax through your hair.You can change the style of your hair after that.
Step 7: For a chic, everyday style, create a tousled look.
You can make a natural part on one side of your head with your fingers.Push your fingers through your hair on either side of the part to add more texture.It is not necessary to add more wax to your hands.To create texture and hold your style in place, what you already put into your hair should be enough.Trust your judgement if you feel a little more helpful.
Step 8: For a more traditional cut, opt for a sleek, neat look.
You can use a comb or fingers to make a part in your hair.If you want your hair to go in a certain direction, use your fingers to brush it.If you want the sides of your hair to slant forward, you can use your fingertips.If there are sections of your hair that just won't stay down, try using a straightener on those areas to give them a little extra help
Step 9: Pull at the ends of your hair to give them more volume.
If you want to apply the wax to the tips, put a small amount on your fingertips.It makes your hair look better.Continue to work wax into your hair until it disappears, if you notice streaks of wax in any spot.The more wax you use, the more comfortable you will get with it.You will be able to work it through your hair before you know it.
Step 10: Adhere to your style with a few sprays of spray.
You should spray your hair after you achieve the look you want.You don't need to use a lot of spray on hair products because you want your style to stay in place.Try out different styles with your cut.There are a lot of things you can do with short hair.
Step 11: There is a twist.
If you have short hair, you can rock faux-braids.Use wax to keep short strands of hair where you want them.If you apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips, you can twist your hair off.Texturizing the rest of your hair requires a little more wax.This style is great for hot summer months when you want to keep your hair out of your face.
Step 12: Attach a fauxhawk to your hair for a fun style.
If you want to create volume in your hair, you should blow-dry it and brush it upward and forward.Run your fingers through your hair to push the wax into the center.If you want a more traditional fauxhawk, sandwich your hair between your palms.Keep the fauxhawk separated and textured by using your fingertips.
Step 13: Wax can be used to create a front-poof.
Rub a small amount of wax between your palms after you have dried your hair.Pull up the middle section of your hair while twisting it.Pull the twist down behind the section you are holding and push it forward to remove the front chunk of hair.The twist down can be secured with a bobby-pin.If there are flyaways, use wax on your fingertips to smooth them down.The style resembles a pompadour but doesn't extend all the way back.
Step 14: Curls or waves can be created with a straightener and wax.
After washing and drying your hair, you can use a hair straightener.Attach a 1 inch section of hair to your straightener and twist it to create a small curl.Continue with the rest of your hair.If you want to work your fingers through your hair, rub a small amount of wax between your palms.You can emphasize individual curls by twisting them.You can finish your look with a spray of spray.If your hair is not perfect, don't worry.The cut can be tousled and still look great.
