"25 Easy Hairstyles for Short Hair in 2021 | Who What Wear" https://www.whowhatwear.com/amp/easy-hairstyles-for-short-hair

Styling Short Hair Can Be Hard (Unless You're Trying One of These Easy Looks) A common misconception about short hair is it's difficult to style in new ways, but that's not true. Here are some easy hairstyles for short hair.

After and before. .. That is not bird 🐦💩 on her cape... It's 2.5 hours of highlighting, toning, balayaging and cutting. It gets messy y'all.

This beautiful woman 🧑🏼 is going through a difficult divorce. It's a classic case of "he's a great guy, he does everything right, but we're just not right for each other."

She's starting over, in her new place and luckily, she got custody of the dogs 🐶🐕. It's always hard to say goodbye, but it's a little easier when you have great hair.

Have you been in that situation? I have-twice ✌️. Oh wait, my exes did everything wrong.

If you're currently in that spot, remember, it's OK to leave and be happy! You only live once and it's more fun to wake up every morning smiling than to not want to wake up at all.



I'm booked out about 5 weeks, so make an appointment now before school starts, because come around August, I know the panic sets in and I don't want to tell you I can't do your hair! Help me help you!

Hey baby, need a lift?
She did! Do you fear 😬 going shorter with already short hair?

Look how frumpy and shapeless her hair was. By angling and layering, we were able to add depth and interest 🧐 to her gorgeous silver🥈hair.

She went from "Maude brought her green bean meatloaf again“ 😒😶at the church picnic to "Holy spirit, have you seen 👀 👀Maude's hair?! It looks amazing!“

Now, do you want to be known for your meatloaf 🍲 or your hair?
I thought so.
***please don't get your hair in your meatloaf, even church members won't forgive you***

Maude is not her real name. No Maudes were hurt while making this post.

I'm generally booked out 6-8 weeks, so get on the books now!

Shorter cuts, when not cut ✂️frequently enough can start to look like a mullet. Now, I'm not anti-mullet, nor am I pro-mullet, I am just traumatized by the mullet I sadly wore on my head from 1986-1988. If you had a mullet in the 80s, it's probably time ⌚to schedule a colonoscopy💩.

This beautiful woman 🧑🏼wanted to cut off the mullet that was making an appearance. She definitely wanted to leave it on the floor of the salon.

Did you know that you can actually grow out a pixie cut haircut 💇With a little patience, a long term plan and a hair stylist with only a slight drinking 🍷 problem, you can achieve longer hair!

If you identify yourself in this photo 📸, let me know! I literally have hundreds, probably near 1,000 of before and after transformations and I don't know who is who.

"Sometimes it's OK if the only thing you did today was breathe."

This is a pre-Covid photo I found of my aunt/client who at the time had only lost one grandchild👱🏻‍♂️. She has now lost two👱🏻‍♂️👱🏻‍♂️. Both taken by freak accidents.

She's one of the strongest women I know and while being strong is noble, being open and vulnerable and showing your pain is also a sign of strength. Share your pain and let others share theirs, no matter how uncomfortable it is.

Grief is gross. It's rude, it's oppressive and you never know how long it will take until you can stand to wake up in the morning. Sometimes never.

As you can see, she needed a little help with her cut and color! I feel like it turned out great!

How do you grieve? How do you help others when they're grieving?

Sorry for a depressing post, but also - not sorry. Loss is a part of life and can be shared even on a salon profile.

This beautiful woman 🧑🏼 had a raging, Covid induced mullet.
Now, mullets are back, baby!!
But not this time ⌚. No no no.

She was working from home with a 🌪️ 4 year old...I'm surprised she didn't go full on Britney Spears 2007 like many of us have wanted to!

We bid the mullet adieu and fashioned a beautiful semi-stacked layered Bob. We did a jewel toned violet garnet color and BAM!

Anyone who has successfully stayed home 🏡 with children and have maintained their sanity as well as kept their kids 👨‍👩‍👦 happy and peaceful ✌️at this time needs to be heralded and possibly canonized.

Here's to all the moms who keep the world 🌍 spinning! I guess I should acknowledge the dads, but really... Should I? Dads always get acknowledged and knighted for doing things such as pouring cereal 🥣 in a bowl for a kid or taking a child to the dentist once. Moms are the REAL DEAL!

Um, Why Does Every Strong Woman in Twisty Psychological Thrillers Have a Blunt Bob Haircut? Why do so many strong women characters in psychological thriller movies, like I Care a Lot and Behind Her Eyes, wear blunt bob haircuts? We explore.

This beautiful girl 🚶‍♀️happens to be one of my soul mates... She's my granddaughter! Her hair gets more tangled than the nest of necklaces you found in the jewelry box on your grandma's dresser.

"You're too young to be a grandmother!"🧓 I often hear, but you know what? Your heart is never too young to fill with a love❤️ that is more than love💞.

I was 38 when my 16 year old daughter gave birth to my new best friend. Was it a shock? Absolutely! Am I ashamed, embarrassed or feel like a failure as a mom because I had a teenage daughter who had a baby👶🏽? HELL NO.

Many people said they'd kick their kid out 🏡if it were them, not help them, or make them give the baby up for adoption. That makes me sad, because they'd be missing out on one of the greatest joys in life (besides an open bar at a baby shower).... Being a grandparent!

Was it the wrong time? No. Would it make life for my daughter and her fiancé more challenging? Without a doubt. Would it change our lives? For the better!

Are you a teen mom? Were you a teen mom? Do you have a teenager who gave birth to a beautiful baby👶👶🏿👶🏼👶🏽? Then 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏because not only did you/do you have the stress and responsibility of raising a child when you are/were still a child yourself, but you have 80% of America judging you AND your baby because you "couldn't keep your legs closed" or were "a slut, a w***e". Guess what? You are/were just a person who happened to get pregnant.

NEVER let the opinions and judgments of others determine your self worth. You are doing the best you can. Things are hard and will always be hard and unfair at any age, just remember that the only thing that matters is taking care of your child.

I'm not sure why I can't get the photo to fit properly in the IG frame.... I guess it's because I'm 45 and have the technological capabilities of a 2 year old.

Anyway! This beautiful woman 🧑🏼 needed a retouch, oomph, umph and cut and color! She really can pull off reds/coppers/bronzes. She's a FIREBALL! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Next time I'm going to add some lowlights that are straight up ORANGE 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊. That sounds scary, but when slices of intense color are sprinkled in with calm colors, that's when you get that POW!

This beautiful woman 🧑🏻 just lost her brother 😢😔😭. They grew up in an extremely abusive household 🏡 together and he was all that she had.

Yes, she's tough. Yes, she's a fighter. But right now she's broken, confused, angry, depressed, lost and yet really trying to figure out how to grieve gently and take care of herself. I'm glad she took the time to get her hair done.

What about you? How do you take care of yourself when you're depressed😕, lost😒, angry😡, down😞 or broken💔? Sometimes just taking a shower 🚿is too much work.

I like helping people when they're struggling. Feeling alone and empty in this world is not a good thing to have to deal with. It's amazing what a little haircut or a few highlights can do. They can't bring a loved one back, but hopefully just having someone listen and wash your hair is enough to have a little bit of time to quiet your troubled heart.

This beautiful woman 🧑🏽 had hair like a blanket. It was so heavy and caused headaches 🤕and interfered with her sleep😴. She FINALLY decided to cut it!

She couldn't believe how much younger she looked! Lots of times ⏰we hang on to our long hair because we think it makes us look thinner and younger 👶. Guess what..... It doesn't.

If you love having long hair, then rock it! But if you have long hair because your husband wants you to keep it long, or because you think you'll look younger, or prettier, or the general public will still want to mate with you, then maybe it's time to do a little self discovery. 2021 is the year to love YOU and take care of YOU.

"Holy tish.... You need to check out goodwill.com! There's all sorts of crazy stuff for sale on it!"
Said my beautiful 🧑🏻 client. She wanted to go from a reddish brown to a more neutral tone.

She wanted to be an ash, but with her beautiful, porcelain skin tone, I didn't feel it would be complementary. She wasn't too sad. I hope. That's what stylists are for, right??

Have you ever had a hair color, that looked AMAZING on you and you kind of didn't know why? It's probably because it really worked with your eyes and skin. Let's get the perfect color on your head ASAP!

Color theory rant by Bridgette

This beautiful woman 🧑🏻 has very fine hair and found that going darker, while she didn't want to is a great way of making her hair appear more full.

She just needed some layers, major lowlights, a styling tutorial and a hug🤗. This took place pre-Covid, when hugging was a thing....

Do you miss hugging? 🤗

This beautiful woman 🧑🏻 came from Alamogordo to see me! I guess I'm in a long distance relationship now.

She wasn't sure what she wanted, but she was sure she didn't want anyone in Las Cruces or Alamogordo to do it......😂😂😂

Since she lives a few hours away, we did a deeper color to cover her gray. We added a few highlights and lowlights, toned everything so it had that soft ☁️ flow and shiny glow☀️!
