Hair Styling Tips for Short Hair

Fringes tend to dry quicker than the rest of your hair, so it’s a good idea to style it first. A round brush attachment is perfect for creating bouncy bangs.

You may like to use a cool setting when drying a very short pixie crop for a more comfortably drying experience, so look for one with variable heat settings.

A combination of short and long pieces of hair may require different styling tools, so interchangeable styling attachments can be very helpful for drying this style.

If you have opted for a more asymmetrical cut, you might like to emphasise the look by creating volume at the roots using a brush attachment styling tool.

Although you might find shorter haircuts air-dry quite quickly, this can sometimes leave hair frizzy, so you might like to try an ionic hair dryer to give you a smoother finish.

Depending on your hair type, you might like to consider a smoothing tool like Shark SpeedStyle’s RapidGloss Finisher to get that sleek, straight finish that looks great with a bob.

If you have slightly longer hair such as a chin-length bob, asymmetrical short cut with longer pieces, you may like to try the Shark FlexStyle Auto-Wrap Curler, which uses Coanda airflow to create hassle-free curls in minutes.

Want the ‘Brazilian smoothing’ blow-out look, but don’t want to commit to a hair treatment? A Paddle Brush or Flat Brush attachment is great for smoothing and straightening short hair styles, especially bobs, mullets and asymmetrical styles.

If you want to add volume to your short hair cut or add extra bounce to a short haircut with a fringe, try a Round or Oval Brush attachment. Brush from the root to the tip, gently rolling the brush as you go to create shape.

Perfect for smoothing and shaping wavy or curly hair, a Concentrator attachment allows the hairdryer’s air flow to be directed more precisely. This is a classic way to dry and style all hair types, sometimes using a separate handheld hairbrush in the other hand to shape hair as you dry.

If your short hair is curly or coily, a Diffuser attachment is perfect for defining your natural curls while gently and evenly drying your short hair style. Shark’s Diffusers have adjustable prongs that can be retracted for shorter hair.
