Feel and Look Beautiful Feminine and Sexy With A Short Messy HairStyle




Short hairstyles are trendy and when it comes to short and messy hairstyles we are looking at a cute,feminine and sexy look. It is one of the easiest hairstyle to accomplish in minutes. This kind of hairstyle is suitable for women of all ages but more popular among younger women. 


Either you are concerned about your hair texture or face cut,  there no need to worry  because we will slowly help you on how to achieve the look. Like always the first thing to do is wash your hair, but avoid using conditioner as it will interfere with absorption of any gel or hair spray therefore it will be tricky to create the messy look. Once you've washed your hair, you should towel dry it, this way your hair will be soft and moist , and not too wet to the point it will be dripping water. To avoid hair moisture don't blow dry it but if you are in a hurry you can blow dry it  but in a very limited way. 


Let's get to the point where professionalism kicks in to give your hair that messy look; run your fingers through your hair, in order to being able to direct certain sections of your hair to fall in different directions. Don't use a comb , it will only make your hair too straight and you don't want this. This method is also applicable to mid length hair.


While you are applying the first method (running fingers through your hair) think on which part of your short hair you want to apply the messy look. For example a French cut, since the sides of your hair in this particular look are too short than you should focus "Messy" on the top or  on the bangs . Keep it simple neat and smart. A smart way would also be by using  the tip of a comb to organize the ends creatively. 
If you have curly hair  then it is a little bit more tricky to create the messy look but not impossible. You can flaunt a curly texture by  first applying gel, which makes it moist and easier to style and proceed with the running finger through your hair and use the tip of a comb to organize the ends.  This texture will create a voluminous messy look which looks absolutely fabulous. When you've completed your messy look finish it by applying hairspray from a distance.

Look Younger -Pitfalls To Avoid




When it comes down to looking young, age doesn't matter but to avoid to look older than you actually are and here a the main pitfalls you need to avoid.
Dress Appropriately
Dressing inappropriately
Most ladies presume that they dress young, they will look younger this is not the case. At some point you need to know your limits, when and when not to expose your cleavage and even if you have fantastic legs, you can easily wear short skirts but seriously avoid micro mini.  Let's leave the mini to a younger group age. A suggestion, the next time you go shopping for clothes, bring an honest  friend with you, and ask for her opinion if a certain outfit or dress makes you wither  look older or  younger in a more modest  way.

Yes A Gentle Touch 
Too  Much Mascara NO NO
If you are an older lady avoid over doing it when applying mascara on your lower lashes because it draws attention to under eye circles. A generous coat on the top lashes will make your eyes look larger and the whites will appear brighter. This technique will draw  attention to the depths of your eyes rather than the outer edges, which do reflect your age.

NO - Too Much Make Up Keep it Natural
Too Much Make up
Whatever you are applying, either it be foundation,blush, powder or even eye shadow too much will make you look older. Don;t plaster your face rather keep it natural with maybe a sheer foundation and translucent powder. Keep it light, natural and simple.

Yes - Let Your hair Flow
Hair That Never Moves 
Whatever your age, your hair must be soft and 100% natural.  Away from hair that stays perfect of a twister. Another trick would be never to cover your grey hair with a dark colourant instead select a color as close to your natural color shade as possible. Dark hair will only enhance any facial wrinkles.
