Chin-length hair offers both simplicity and style. Despite its shorter length, there are numerous ways to style it to suit various occasions and moods. Whether you're aiming for a casual day out with friends or a glamorous evening event, there's a perfect hairstyle for you. For instance, opt for beach waves for a relaxed hangout, slicked back hair for a chic party look, or an elegant updo for a formal affair.
Simple Steps
Creating Gorgeous Waves
Enhance your hair with voluminous waves using rollers. Voluminous waves add allure and sophistication, ideal for a night out or a special occasion. Begin by parting your hair as desired, then roll sections of hair using 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) rollers. Allow the rollers to set for at least 30 minutes before removing them. Finish off the look by applying a strong-hold hairspray to maintain the waves.
- If using rollers on damp hair, ensure it is fully dry before removing the rollers, either by air drying or using a hair dryer.
Get Effortless Waves with a Curling Iron Achieve charming tousled waves easily using a curling iron. Begin by applying a heat protectant spray. Divide your hair into 4 sections and curl each section with a 1-inch curling wand. After curling, gently tousle your hair to loosen the curls. Finish with hairspray for hold.
- For extra texture, try a finishing spray or salt spray.
Rock Vintage Glam with Pinned Curls Embrace a classic 1920s look with pinned curls, perfect for formal occasions. Section your hair and create loops, rolling them into spirals and securing with clips. Keep the top portion smooth and sleek. Finish with hairspray to set the curls.
- Removing the pin curls reveals beautiful beachy waves.
Create Tight Ringlets with a Small Curling Iron Use a small-barreled curling iron held vertically to achieve tight ringlet curls. Finish with medium hold hairspray.
- Straighten bangs or side bangs separately if desired.
Enhance Texture with Salt Spray Achieve textured waves with salt spray. Simply spritz into dry hair and scrunch for effortless waves. For added volume, apply to roots and tease gently.
- For dry ends, apply leave-in conditioner.
Creating a Polished Look
Achieve Straight Hair with a Blow Dryer Start by applying a shine serum to wet hair, then use a blow dryer with a nozzle attachment to dry your hair facing down for a sleek blowout.
- Use anti-frizz products for smoothness.
- For extra volume, use a round brush while blow-drying.
Perfect Your Look with a Flat Iron After drying, section your hair and use a heat protectant before straightening with a flat iron. Finish with a cool setting to set the style.
- Tame flyaways with hairspray applied to a comb.
Rock the Wet Look with Slicked-Back Hair Ideal for parties, dampen your hair and apply gel generously. Comb it back without a part for a sleek finish. No need for hairspray if enough gel is used.
Create a Stylish Part Change your look by parting your hair down the center after straightening. Use a texture spray for added volume.
- This style may not suit those with bangs.
Add Flair with Blunt Bangs Elevate your chin-length haircut with mod-inspired blunt bangs. Cut them just above or below the eyebrows for a chic look. Straighten your hair and brush out the bangs for a polished finish.
Elevate Your Look with a Thick Headband Easily achieve a cute style by straightening your hair and adding a thick headband for a casual yet chic vibe.
- If you have bangs, this style helps keep them out of your face.
Exploring Updos
Opt for a Chic Half-Up Half-Down Style Perfect for a versatile look, tease two sections of hair from each side and secure them at the back with a pin or clip.
Create Elegance with Dual French Braids Whether casual or formal, French braids on each side add beauty. Start near the hairline and braid towards the neck, securing the ends with pins.
Secure Your Hair at the Nape If your hair isn't long enough for a ponytail, gather it at the nape of your neck, cross sections from each side, and pin them for a stylish finish.
Create a Chic Bun Achieve a sleek bun by gathering your hair, teasing the ponytail, and twisting it into a bun secured with bobby pins. Finish with hairspray for hold.
- For a casual look, wrap a hair band around a small ponytail to create a messy bun.
- Enhance texture with a texturizing spray.
