Don’t worry long-haired girls — we didn’t forget about you!

Before you yell at us that it’s WAY too early to be thinking about prom, hear us out! By the time you get your dress, your shoes, your date, etc., the last thing you want to be dealing with is your hair…especially if you’re going to do it by yourself. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get on with the hacks!

Some people with short hair are into rockin’ a glam updo on prom night, while others feel more comfortable wearing their hair down. That being said, curling short locks can be a little tricky, especially if you’ve never seen it done properly before. Check out the below tutorials now and you’ll be a pro short-hair curler by the time the big dance rolls around!

1. Use a 1.5-inch curling iron to create big curls, and then finish off your ‘do with a diffuser — this will loosen your locks even more and give you that effortless, tousled look:

Source

2. If you’re going to use a curling wand, be sure to hold it VERTICALLY:

Source

3. Grab small sections and don’t leave the hair on the wand for too long if you want beachy waves:

Source

4. Make sure you’re curling different-sized sections of hair so things don’t look too ‘perfect,’ especially if you want a tousled ‘do:

Source

5. Dry shampoo will be your your best tool if you want volume and texture, especially if your hair is fine AND short:

Source

6. Leaving about an inch of hair off the iron is another great way to achieve an effortless look because the ends of your locks will remain straight and not as perfect as the rest of the curls:

Source

7. No curling iron? No problem! Even short-haired girls can reap the benefit of using a flat iron to curl hair. Here’s how:

Source

8. You don’t want the dreaded ‘triangle’ (that is, hair that’s flat on the top and puffy on the bottom) that can often happen when people with short hair try to use a curling iron. To avoid this, be sure to backcomb your roots a bit once you’re done styling:

Source

9. Feeling super fun? Curl small sections of hair from the root to the tip, then scrunch with your hands:

Source

10. Get a slight bend in your hair by curling it in the middle, then straightening it at the ends:

Source

11. You can also create flat-iron waves by manually doing what a crimper would do. Tedious, yes, but so worth it!

Can you smell that? Spring is (almost) in the air and you know what that means — prom is right around the corner! We know having short hair can make you feel limited with your hairstyle selection for the big night, but let us be the first to tell you that there’s SO MANY THINGS you can actually do, even if you don’t have long locks.

Want to wear your hair completely down? No problem! Feel more comfortable with an updo? Go for it! Can’t really decide between the two? No worries — there are many stunning styles featuring the good ol’ half-up, half-down technique. And guess what? They’re not that hard! Check out the tutorials below and start practicing — you’ll want to make sure you’re an expert before prom rolls around, especially if you’re planning to do your ‘do yourself!

1. We’re still LOVING the half-up bun ‘do, and adding a braid is a great way to spice it up a litte:

Source

2. A simple half-up top knot works well, too!

Source

3. Simply flick your wrist and you’ll get this sleek half-ponytail that looks sophisticated AF:

Source

4. We know this ‘do looks complicated, but it’s basically just four twists pinned together:

Source

5. First, create a half-ponytail. Then, create two braids and use them to cover the elastic. Finish with a pretty barrette and voila!

Source

6. You can do this style even if you hair is SUPER short, which is totally awesome:

Source

7. We know a half-up ponytail doesn’t sound like a prom-ready ‘do, but if you style it right it can be the perfect addition to your ensemble:

Source

8. Go for a boho-chic look by making a few fishtail braids, loosening them up and pinning them back:

Source

9. Make sure to tease at the crown to accomplish this cute, messy ‘do:

Dove Cameron rocked the most gorg pink hair during Weekend #1 of Coachella 2017 and it’s actually super easy to steal her look — you don’t even have to use dye!

Dove’s hairstylist, Chad Wood, used Joico’s Color Intensity in “Soft Pink” to add some low-key pink streaks to her platinum blonde locks — the perfect touch to her whimsical and fun festival style.

As a blonde myself, I totally dug how awesome Dove’s hair looked with subtle pink highlights in it and I immediately wanted to try it, but didn’t want to commit to any permanent or semi-permanent dyes. Luckily, a few brands (like Garnier and Splat) make wash-out colors with super-easy applications that don’t damage your hair. Wash-out colors create a thin color-coat around your hair fibers without penetrating it so that it comes out after 2-3 shampoos, which is perf if you have a wedding, dance recital or prom coming up but want to experiment with some temporary vibrant highlights.

Here’s a cheap and super easy way you can emulate Dove’s bubble gum-tinted locks without bleaching or dying your hair.

What you will need:
Garnier Color Styler Intense Wash-Out Color – Pink Pop (OR other Wash-Out Hair Color product)
Vinyl gloves (if your wash-out color kit does not include them)
Leave-In Conditioner
Hair Brush/Comb
Hair Dryer
Towel

Jessica Norton

-To prep, wrap a towel around your shoulders and make sure your hair is dry and free of any tangles.
-Select a small section of hair that you want to add color to and brush it out.
-Spray/apply leave-in conditioner from root to tip so that the selected section of hair is damp.
-Brush out the section of hair to even out the conditioner and free it from any tangles.
-The leave-in conditioner will keep your hair from getting dry and knotted once you apply the color.
-Put on your gloves and spray/apply a thin layer of leave-in conditioner to your gloved finger tips.
-Squeeze the color product onto your gloved fingers and spread it by rubbing your fingertips on both hands together.
-Grab your section of hair and slide your gloved fingers (with coloring + conditioner) downwards and repeat until the section is coated and soaked with color.
-Let the section of hair air dry for about 15 minutes. If it is still damp after 15 minutes, use a blow dryer to speed up the process.
-Once it is thoroughly dry, gently brush through your newly colored section of hair.

The outcome of the wash-out color will differ depending on your hair color and texture (i.e. It’ll probably show up better on very light hair and be hard to see on darker colors), but it’s definitely the perf way to copy Dove’s cool Coachella hair and test out new colors without damaging your hair.

Here’s the final result on me:

Pretty sweet, right?

NGL, we’re totally crushing on Dove Cameron — just like these stars:

Anyone with short or medium length hair knows that updos can be a big struggle, if not totally impossible. But leaving your hair down all the time? That gets boring fast. I recently chopped a few inches off of my longish hair for a lob with choppy ends. I love the new style so much, and am actually considering going a little bit shorter, but at the same time, I miss some aspects of my old cut. Long hair comes with so many options: you can do braids, big buns, long ponytails, and cool updos. But shorter hair? You’re lucky if you can get it into a stubby ponytail using less than three bobby pins. That’s why, if you’re looking for variety, your best bet is trying a half-up hairstyle.

In case you haven’t noticed, half-up hairstyles are huge right now. Whether it’s a half-up bun, a half-up ponytail, half-up space buns, or something more simple, the partly pulled back look is all over the place and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon. After years of the same trendy long beach waves or super straight locks, I’m beyond into the half-up styles. Unfortunately, although I used to be able to do the half bun with no problem, it’s not as easy with shorter hair. Everything falls! I don’t want to be left out of the loop, so I looked up some cool ways to do half-up styles that work for short and/or medium length hair. Of course, these can also be done with longer hair, and not everything will work for everyone, but hey — it’s better than nothing! Check out these half-up hairstyle tutorials now:

You can practice cool hairstyles all you want, but sometimes frizz gets in the way of becoming the #HAIRGOALS celebrity you always dreamed of. While there isn’t a magic fix that’ll get rid of frizzy locks forever, there are quite a few tips and tricks that’ll help you tame it when it does happen.

1. First thing’s first, let’s talk about what frizz is and what causes it:

Source

2. There are some big DOs and DON’Ts if you have frizzy hair. Here are some major ones to remember:

Source

3. Believe it or not, items you probably already have in your kitchen can be great for preventing frizz:

Source

4. You can use coconut oil for a lot of things, but it’s AMAZING as an anti-frizz spray:

Source

5. Almost every hair-care brand sells anti-frizz products, but these are some of the best:

Source

6. Using a diffuser is a great way to get rid of frizz, especially if you have curly hair:

Source

7. Have a few strands of unruly hair that just won’t go down? Spray a little bit of hairspray on a clean spoolie and you can tame those bad boys in no time!

Source

8. You probably never realized this, but towels can cause frizz — swap out your towel for a t-shirt after a shower and you’ll notice a difference in no time.

Source

9. Frizzy hair is ultimately caused by dryness, so using a super moisturizing mask at least once a week will help combat that.

Source

10. QUICK TIP:

Source

11. Hot showers are great and all, but cold water can really help add shine and prevent frizz.

Source

12. Going to sleep with wet hair is (usually) a surefire way to cause frizz. If you want to wake up with gorg locks, however, try the pineapple trick!

I don’t know about you guys, but I like messy hairstyles better than perfectly done looks where not one strand is out of place. Sure, a smooth and sleek updo can be crazy gorgeous, but when it comes to #hairgoals, I prefer something that is purposely disheveled. And I’m clearly not alone. Messy buns are are one of the most popular hairstyles out there, and, weirdly they’re also some of the hardest to get right. Anyone who has tried to do a messy bun that looks mussed up but still good knows this. It’s not as simple as just pulling your hair into a hair tie and leaving the ends to do what they want (I wish, honestly). Yes, sometimes you’ll have that beautiful moment where you tie your hair up and it looks perfectly, effortlessly messy (this can only happen right before you go to bed, usually), but most of the time, a messy bun looks, well… too messy.

So, how do you achieve that bun that says, “I woke up like this, but also I know you know that I did not but let’s pretend, okay?” Through practice. Once you nail that messy bun routine that works for you, it will become super easy, fast and your go-to look for most days. To get there, though, you need to try out a few different techniques. The messy bun tutorials below are simple and made for almost every different hair type, and they’ll give you that boho goddess look in no time. Check out these messy bun tutorials to find the one that you’ll incorporate into your daily routine:

The post 12 Incredible Bobby Pin Hacks You Won’t Believe You Once Lived Without appeared first on Clevver.

Dove Cameron rocked the most gorg pink hair during Weekend #1 of Coachella 2017 and it’s actually super easy to steal her look — you don’t even have to use dye!

Dove’s hairstylist, Chad Wood, used Joico’s Color Intensity in “Soft Pink” to add some low-key pink streaks to her platinum blonde locks — the perfect touch to her whimsical and fun festival style.

As a blonde myself, I totally dug how awesome Dove’s hair looked with subtle pink highlights in it and I immediately wanted to try it, but didn’t want to commit to any permanent or semi-permanent dyes. Luckily, a few brands (like Garnier and Splat) make wash-out colors with super-easy applications that don’t damage your hair. Wash-out colors create a thin color-coat around your hair fibers without penetrating it so that it comes out after 2-3 shampoos, which is perf if you have a wedding, dance recital or prom coming up but want to experiment with some temporary vibrant highlights.

Here’s a cheap and super easy way you can emulate Dove’s bubble gum-tinted locks without bleaching or dying your hair.

What you will need:
Garnier Color Styler Intense Wash-Out Color – Pink Pop (OR other Wash-Out Hair Color product)
Vinyl gloves (if your wash-out color kit does not include them)
Leave-In Conditioner
Hair Brush/Comb
Hair Dryer
Towel

-To prep, wrap a towel around your shoulders and make sure your hair is dry and free of any tangles.
-Select a small section of hair that you want to add color to and brush it out.
-Spray/apply leave-in conditioner from root to tip so that the selected section of hair is damp.
-Brush out the section of hair to even out the conditioner and free it from any tangles.
-The leave-in conditioner will keep your hair from getting dry and knotted once you apply the color.
-Put on your gloves and spray/apply a thin layer of leave-in conditioner to your gloved finger tips.
-Squeeze the color product onto your gloved fingers and spread it by rubbing your fingertips on both hands together.
-Grab your section of hair and slide your gloved fingers (with coloring + conditioner) downwards and repeat until the section is coated and soaked with color.
-Let the section of hair air dry for about 15 minutes. If it is still damp after 15 minutes, use a blow dryer to speed up the process.
-Once it is thoroughly dry, gently brush through your newly colored section of hair.

The outcome of the wash-out color will differ depending on your hair color and texture (i.e. It’ll probably show up better on very light hair and be hard to see on darker colors), but it’s definitely the perf way to copy Dove’s cool Coachella hair and test out new colors without damaging your hair.

Here’s the final result on me:

Trying to keep your hair healthy, strong and sleek is honestly a full-time job. Even though there are always a million new products and cool how-tos, making sure your mane stays frizz-free seems next to impossible. We know you love to try new hairstyles as much as possible, but all the blow-drying, curling, straightening, braiding and brushing can do some serious damage to locks, especially if those locks are red.

Natural redheads usually have fewer, and thicker, hair follicles that cause each individual strand to be more prone to frizz. And those who chose to take on the color with dye know that the struggle is REAL because red fades almost immediately.

Having a certain hair color can cause the need for a very specific hair routine. As crazy as that sounds, redheads have to be extra careful when it comes to styling, washing, etc.

Those who were born with stunning warm locks may only take up less than 6% of the population, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need their own defense line to keep their hair sleek, shiny and vibrant. While it can be way easier to just buy whatever your friends use (and what’s cheapest), it’s important that everyone caters to their own hair and gives it some well-deserved attention.

Whether you’re a natural redhead, dyed your hair red, or just want to know what it takes to keep red locks, well, red, we rounded up the best of the best products specifically for this hue. From color-depositing dry shampoo to the best deep-conditioning mask, you’re definitely going to want to run to the store and snatch these up ASAP. The greatest thing about all of these products? They’re actually accessible and not crazy expensive like many top-notch items we often see advertised.

We love winter for the snowflakes and the sledding, the Christmas trees and the gift-giving — but we absolutely hate what it does to our hair. (We know hate is a strong word… and we assure you that we mean every bit of it). And why wouldn’t we? The sudden drops in temp always dry up our scalps and ramp up those split ends. Basically, anything bad that can lower the quality of our locks strikes in the winter. It’s a fact of life.

But, hey, we’ve all been there — and we’re all in this together. So here’s a little PSA. If you thought every hair issue was an inevitability this year, think again. We’ve scoured Pinterest just to make sure you’re equipped with the right line of defense. Dry hair? Check. We’ve got a mask for that. Split ends? We can help you tackle those, too. Static? Matted locks? Don’t worry for a second. With these healthy hair hacks, you’ll be just fine all the way through until spring:
