Half Up, Half Down

• The half up, half down look is cute for getting hair out of your face, while still providing the look of shape and body that you work hard for. Use bobby pins to pin the top half of your hair back after teasing the front of your hair. This will give your up-do more volume. Straighten the rest of your hair that falls down around your face for a more styled and put-together look.
  
  

Messy Ponytail with Bangs

• You might think that because you have bangs an up-do won't look good on your hair. However, bangs can work to your favor when you are trying to put your hair in an up-do. Let your bangs hang down and pin the rest of your pony back. Instead of combing your short hair neatly, try a messy bun by twisting the hair back and pinning it with bobby pins for a more textured and styled look.
  
  

Small Pigtails

• Small pigtails are a cute and fun way to spice up a more casual look. When you're getting ready to go to the gym or hanging out at a friend's place for a movie, pull your short hair back into pigtails. Let your bangs hang down if you have them or pin them back for a more structured look. You can do a high ponytail if your hair is long enough, or stick with low ponytails if your hair is too short.
  
  

Barretts and Headbands

• Using barrettes and headbands in short hair can give it a more textured feel and add a little bit of spice to the short hair up-do. Tease the front of your hair, and then wear a headband to give the illusion of an up-do. You can also pin short hair back with colorful barrettes that match your outfit for the day for a cute and put-together look.
