Richard’s Pointers For STYLING Short Hair…
Try to avoid too much volume so hair looks young and fresh.
When drying, smooth the hair with a flat brush first, then stretch it out with a round brush.
Once hair is dry, begin moving the hair with the brush and the dryer to the left, and then to the right, to create hair’s natural root volume.
Here’s the product he uses for short-hair prep…
