Short hair hawk

For my dear sweets out there with short hair that want a fun sexy party style hawk but lack the length this one is for you.

What you will need for this style is:

Bobbypins,
A rat tail comb or a pen or chop stick if you don't have a rat tail comb,
Clear or matching your hair color tiny elastics,
Curling iron or rollers
If your hair is prone to fly aways or frizz moose or gel to make sleek
A large clip is optional to hold hair out of the way and finally, a hair brush.

Brush hair to eliminate any snarls. Section off the front bang section and tie it off with a small elastic. Just short of an inch from the first section collect hair from one side to the other into a small ponytail and tie off with an elastic. For a sleeker sexier look keep sections tight to create the individual defined sections look up the sides of your head. Continue this all the way down your head clipping finished sections out of the way for a cleaner easier style. Take a curling iron or curlers, curl each section making sure not to touch elastic with heat unless you want this to be your permanent look. Once ends are curled take small chunks of each section and bobby pin curls down to create a fluid hawk look. As I always say have fun with this make it your own. Temporary hair dye sprays can add a touch of flair by frosting the tips or front section in this look.

Topsytails

What you'll need:

Hair elastic
bobbypins
brush
decorative embellishments, ribbons, curling iron/curlers, etc. (optional)

Topsytails are one of those great styles that you can make your own with just a simple twist. I'm getting ahead of myself, though.  A topsytail is collecting your hair into a ponytail then loosen the elastic about two finger widths from your head. Split the ponytail in half from top to bottom and collect all your hair and loop it through the opening you created. Now with this knowledge you can let your imagination take over and create some wonderful hairstyles. A few ideas are :

• Follow the topsytail instruction and tuck your hair from top to bottom then pull ends of your hair to tighten hold. Curl ends and add a few decorative touches.
• Follow the topsytail instructions before tucking braid ponytail. Tuck braid and wrap up again and pin into place. A ribbon or scarf is also a lovely addition. Tie off an elastic and use the ribbon or elastic as a section for the braid.
• Double topsytail is a fun style.  Section a princess part of your hair and follow the topsytail instructions. Collect the rest of your hair in a low ponytail and follow the topsytail instructions.

You can also create a headband section from behind your ears and pin it for later. Follow the topsytail instructions  with back section. Now this style can be done in two ways: curl the ends or when you tuck hair do not pull through and bunch all of your hair.  Pick the best side you want your split on and create a rope braid with the first side. Taking a small chunk at the beginning of the part twist hair and with each twist add a small chunk of hair until you reach your ear. Collect hair and loosely twist and tuck into your topsytail and pin in place. Taking the small chunk on the other side of the part and rope. braid and repeat.
