Ladies hairstyles for events

hey everyone kelly here and today we're

doing some short hair holiday hairstyles

on the screen today is my friend serene

she also has a YouTube channel called

dress yourself happy which is all about

inspiring you to feel and look your best

she has a great channel you should

definitely check it out and let's get

into these hairstyles

so for my curls today I'm going to use

the nume lustrum set and for this

hairstyle I'm using the one and a

quarter inch curling iron you guys know

that I use new me for a long time and I

love their sets this nume lustrum set

worked really well with serines hair

because of the heat that it has so I

went ahead and separated her hair from

the ears up and this section just has

little short hairs so my whole goal was

just to get a little bit of Bend to the

hair and if on your haircut these pieces

of hair are especially short don't even

worry about curling them because the

hair from the other sections will

probably cover it up for Serene the end

stuck out just a little bit so I decided

to go ahead and curl them and also make

sure that you are wearing your

protective glove if you're using a wand

for this because you want to be able to

curl the ends without hurting your

fingers at all then go ahead and let

down the rest of the hair because she

has a lot of hair I went ahead and split

this section in half again and then I

started curling all the hair away from

the face I did pick this one and a

quarter inch barrel because I like that

it gives a soft natural wave to the hair

and it gives a lot of body without being

like tight shirley temple ish curls I

feel like you have to kind of go a

little bit bigger than you think you

need to with short hair that way you

don't end up with the Shirley Temple

effect anyway I'm curling all the hair

away from the face and then I'm going to

drop the next section down and do the

same thing again if you have less hair

you could do this all in one section and

not have to do you know the two sections

like I did with Serene's hair once you

have all the hair curls then we're going

to go ahead and do the half updo I'm

going to separate the hair from the

temples up and then I'm going to add a

little bit of volume to this section I'm

going to add in a little bit of

volumizing powder this is the sexy hair

powder play and I'm just sprinkling it

in in sections at her roots and then I'm

going to go in and lightly tease the

hair in those areas her hair didn't

wanted he's too easily hence I use the

powder and with that that worked really

really well so I'm just using in

sections that I'm pulling everything

back and smoothing the top out and you

don't have to go crazy with the teasing

you just want enough to give a little

bit of lift to your hair especially when

you look at it from the front then

gather all the hair together and twist

it just a couple of times and bobby pin

it in place and that is it for the half

up portion it's a very easy half updo

and I like it with this really soft wave

because it looks very modern and current

but still very voluminous and I think

holiday appropriate

you

we're hairstyle number two I'm going to

go with the one inch barrel you could

also use the three-quarter inch barrel

if you want an even more retro looking

hairstyle I'm going to add in some of

the Schwarzkopf crystal shine and hold

heat protection sign spray for heat

protection and then I'm going to start

with a section right next to her part

and her hairline you want the section to

be as white as your iron and you're

going to curl the hair toward the face

then once you've curled that hair you're

going to go ahead and catch it as it

comes off the iron and pin it in place

to cool then do this two or three more

times with the hair right behind that

section we're just doing it for this

section because this is going to be our

S wave and we want this to be a really

strong curl but everything else we're

not going to pin up because that takes a

lot of extra time and it's not really

necessary so for the rest of the hair in

front of the ears you're just going to

curl it toward the face so just go in a

couple of sections until all the hair

front of your ears is curled and then we

can go ahead and move on to the back of

the head so in the back I've split the

hair in half and now I'm just going to

focus on curling the ends and I actually

curl these away from the face and then

once I had this for section done I jot

down the second section and continued on

highlights curling just the ends of the

hair and curling them in kind of

different directions because it gave a

more modern look to this hairstyle which

kind of from the front is super

traditional so I liked in the back
