Short Spiked Haircuts for Girls
- It is important to have a clear idea of the haircut you want before making a salon visit. It can be very helpful to bring pictures of styles you like. Most hair stylists can interpret a visual image better than a verbal description of the style. Short, spiked hair can be achieved with any hair texture, but it is best to choose a style that was intended for the type of hair and the face shape you have. Also remember that the style will look different on you than it looks on the model.
- There are many products that can be used to create a short, spiked hairstyle, including mousse, gel and hairspray. If you have curly hair, you will need to apply curl relaxant to your hair, or use a lot more gel or styling mousse to get the hair to spike correctly. You can also work with your natural curl to create a wilder look. Hair paste is the thickest form of gel and is applied to the ends of the hair to create stiff spikes. Girls who have naturally thick or coarse hair will need to use less product than girls with fine, limp hair.
- For curly hair, a flat iron can be used to smooth and flatten the hair to make more dramatic spikes. A flat iron can also be used on straight hair to eliminate frizz. The main tools used to create spiked hair are your fingers. Shaping and twisting the spikes by hand is the best way to create dramatic spikes.
