Description
This short two-tone hairstyle that contours your head is a great option when you don't have much time to spend on your hairstyle. These hairstyles are easy to create and look fabulous on all faces. Two-tone hairstyles are all the rage right now. If you have thinner hair and want to wear your hair down, this is the perfect look!
The back of this two-toned hairstyle is tapered into the nape, while the sides and top are left longer and layered to be worn flat, contouring the head for a smooth finish. This simple yet sassy 'do is perfect for those with fine to medium hair. As hair grows, it goes through a stage of curling up in front. It creates a short head of curls that can be beautiful sometimes, but if not taken care of properly, these curls become unruly and messy. So if you want to maintain the shape of your unique haircut, regular trims are required to keep it looking good and neat. Short hairstyles can be achieved with a blow dryer and a flat iron or with simple styling products like Wax and Hair Spray.

Styling Steps
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.
Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.
Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.
Apply wax to the palms of your hands, and then starting at the top-back area, drag your hands forward, flattening your hair down as you go. For a wetter look use more wax.
Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
