When creating your look, a short haircut that is individualised to your hair type and face shape is a must.

Drawing on a personalised haircut, finding ways to cut down on heat styling are essential when it comes to any hair care routine for short hair. By reducing heat damage, you’ll ensures your hair is more manageable and keeps its shape when styling.

Short hair types need more styling than medium-length or long hair. For this reason, you can find yourself blow-drying regularly or touching up with a flat or curling iron daily. To keep your shape and cut down on breakage, incorporate BLOW.DRY WASH + RINSE and HEATED.DEFENSE each time you heat style.

BLOW.DRY WASH + RINSE is formulated to repair and nourish your hair and add protection against heat damage*. *When used as part of the BLOW.DRY REGIMEN. While HEATED.DEFENSE is a foaming leave-in treatment that protects your hair against heat damage up to 232˚C / 450˚F with a weightless shield that can be used on all hair types and styles.

It may seem obvious that short hair needs less product than its lengthy counterparts, but the reason behind this is also to keep hair from being weighed down. Shorter hairstyles pair well with pomades to create movement and texture, just use them sparingly to ensure adequate volume as well.
