How To Style Short Hair Fast | October 10, 2016

Time is a limited commodity. Most of us value ours and we don’t want to waste it. Spending hours in the salon, like I’ve talked about in my post on Why I Learned to Maintain My Short Hair At Home, is not what anybody is looking to do. Spending countless hours doing your hair at home ain’t much better and nobody wants to do that, either. So, how do you style short hair fast? Is that even a thing? Like, is it possible or is that just a fantasy we’ve been told about, but never actually experienced?

No, boo! Unlike Santa, it does exist. It is really possible to style short hair fast. I mean fast, too. Like GET IN – GET OUT! Granted, it won’t be anything especially fancy. You’re not going to have a red-carpet worthy hair day, but you will look very good and you will be happy to be at where ever the hell you’re trying to get to, on time! And if your a$$ is late, it won’t be due to an overly complicated hairstyle. Those other reasons for your tardiness cannot not be remedied here, my dear.

On to the info. The trick is to consider how much time you actually have. In the scenario I’m going with, I had an hour to pull it together. That is very much doable. With that amount of time, I was able to freshly wash, mold and style my hair. I also threw on an everyday make up look and made it all work. You can watch the GRWM video below to see how I did it all. But for the sake of this post I will list out the

STYLE SHORT HAIR FAST steps

Jump in the shower and co-wash your hair. Unless you have massive product build up, a co-wash will do the job.
Next, rinse and add a dab of your favorite essential oil or moisturizer. (You could also use a water based leave-in)
Grab a small tooth comb and some Nairobi Wrapp It Foam and get to wrapping. You’re going for the Sleek Pixie style. If you want to see how to create this style, check out this Easiest Hairstyle In The World video where I show you how I do it. If you want to know how to preserve the style so that it lasts for dayzzzzz, download my eBook where I walk you through how to preserve your style.
Wrap your hair with some Jr. Wrapp Strips and sit under the dryer for 25-35 minutes. How long you need to be under the dryer will depend on the length and density of your hair.
Come out and BOOM! Hair is done.

That entire process literally takes me 45 minutes total. From shower to dry mold. With the last 15 minutes I do my Everyday Go To Makeup Routine, throw on an outfit and I am out the door.

I hope this helps give you some ideas on how to style short hair fast and keep it moving. If you haven’t – go download my eBook The Short Hair Bedside Bible for more info like this. Until next time … BYE!
