Short hair is having a major moment in 2025—whether you chopped inches off for summer, embraced a bold pixie, or rocking a bob. But let’s be real: styling short locks can feel tricky. How do you add texture, volume, or that “effortless cool” vibe without spending hours at the salon?
Good news: with the right tools (and a little know-how), you can create head-turning short hair looks in minutes. Today, we’re breaking down 2 of the season’s most popular styles—plus how our LENA tools make them ridiculously easy to nail at home.
Style 1: Mermaid Waves (Yes, for Short Hair!)
Beachy, tousled waves aren’t just for long hair. With the LENA Straightener, you can sculpt perfect mermaid-inspired texture—even on cropped cuts. Here’s how:
Step 1: Prep & Protect
- Start with damp (not soaking wet) hair. Apply a heat protectant (key for avoiding damage, even on short strands!).
- Section hair into 1–2 inch sections. The LENA Straightener’s adjustable heat settings (170°F–450°F) work for all hair types:
- Fine/thin hair? Stick to 300°F–350°F.
- Thick/curly hair? Crank it up to 400°F–450°F.
Step 2: Create the Wave
- Clamp the straightener near your roots. Then, twist the tool back and forth (creating 1-inch bends) as you glide down the section.
- For maximum volume at the scalp, add more curve near the roots. For a looser vibe, keep bends subtle.
- Pro tip: The LENA’s titanium floating plates distribute heat evenly, so you get soft, tousled waves—no crunchy “helmet hair” in sight.
Why It Works
Short hair + waves = instant cool-girl energy. The LENA Straightener’s versatility means you can also use it for sleek styles or edgy curls—making it a must-have multitasker for short hair routines.
Style 2: 70s-Inspired Blowout (Volume Queen Vibes)
Think: bouncy, voluminous, and oh-so-chic. The LENA F10 Hair Dryer turns short hair into a disco-ready statement—minus the frizz. Here’s the playbook:
Step 1: Start With Wet Hair
- Towel-dry hair to remove excess moisture. Apply a volumizing mousse (optional, but recommended for fine hair).
- The LENA F10’s ionic technology fights frizz as you dry, so your blowout stays smooth and shiny.
Step 2: Section & Style
- Divide hair into 3 sections (bottom, middle, top). Use a round brush:
- Bottom layer: Direct the dryer’s airflow downward (low-medium heat for damaged hair; high heat for thick hair) and curl ends under.
- Middle/top layers: Alternate curling directions (under, then out) for natural volume.
- For curtain bangs (or face-framing layers), angle the F10 to blow hair outward—the concentrated nozzle lets you target sections with precision.
Why It Works
The F10’s powerful motor dries hair fast (no more arm fatigue!), and its lightweight design means you can style short hair in minutes. Plus, the ionic technology keeps frizz at bay—critical for that “sleek yet voluminous” 70s look.
