Ear-Length Hair Advice
Short hair is a popular cut for a lot of reasons. It’s generally a little more low-maintenance than longer styles, and it’s easy to care for. However, there are a few ways to elevate this look even more.
- As tempting as it might be to cut your own hair, mastering the ear-length look is trickier than it looks. To make sure you really get the style you want, go to a professional stylist, preferably one who specializes in shorter cuts. Typically, a professional will work with you and cut off a little at a time to make sure the end result is what you actually want.
- A styling gel like this one from Paul Mitchell can help you make sure you get every lock perfectly in place when you style it in the morning. You can also use a texturizing spray, like this one from Moroccanoil, if you want to add a little extra curl or dimension to your tresses.
- It can be really easy to overwash your hair, especially when it’s so short, but that will just dry out your scalp and hair, which can cause damage in an ear-length style. Most people only need to wash their hair 1-2 times per week, though a stylist will be able to work with you to determine your personalized shampoo schedule.
- When you wash your hair, opt for products that add volume, like this one from Paul Mitchell, to keep your hair from looking flat and dull.
- Conditioner will also help you nourish your locks to prevent dullness and damage. This one from Redken is a great overall option that you can even use when your hair starts to grow out.
- Add a little gloss, like this one from COLORWOW, to your locks when it’s dry to keep your hair in place and add a boost of healthy shine, which can make shorter dos look even healthier.
- Avoiding damage is the most important way to maintain ear-length styles since it will keep you from having to cut even more length from your hair later. While avoiding heat is the best way to do that, if you have to use your hairdryer or hot tools, make sure to use a heat protectant like this one from CHI.
- Don’t underestimate the damage the sun can inflict on your hair as well. If you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors, throw on a hat or make sure to apply plenty of hair SPF, like this one from COOLA.
- If you want to keep your hair short for a while, make sure to keep up with your salon appointments. Generally, you’ll want to book a session every 4-6 weeks to maintain the length. On the other hand, if you want to help promote growth, apply a little castor oil, like this one from Heritage Store, overnight once a week.
