For a woman with a busy life, the less time she spends on her hair the quicker she can get out the door of her home. Women usually like to have her hair cut short all around, but that will not make for a unique hairstyle. A new trend for short hair is to cut the back very short, even use a razor to buzz it, but keep the front longer so it can have some volume. The best way for a woman to puff out the front of her hair is to wash her hair, then use the blow dryer to dry her hair, but do it upside down. Gravity can help a woman style her hair, and once her hair is dry, all she needs to do is finish it off with a little hair spray. For a woman who has naturally curly hair, a flat iron can come in handy if there are some hairs that will not cooperate with the hair dryer.
