How to Create Rihanna's Short and Trendy Hairstyle

Pop superstar and Grammy award winner Rihanna loves to highlight her look with fun and trendy styles that accent her beautiful and playful short hair. Rihanna's ever changing hairstyles can look great on you too if you have medium to thick hair. Rihanna's short hairstyles look like they are very low maintenance and easy to style, but these styles can be deceiving. Rihanna's hairstyles can take from 10 minutes to over 30 minutes to style.

All of Rihanna's hairstyles start with a great cut. Rihanna's hair is cut shorter around the ears and neckline and long and full on the top. If you like Rihanna's straight rounded bob style, start with a relaxing gel and comb it through your hair from roots to ends. Use a blow dryer and a flat brush to dry your hair to create a smooth look and finish with hairspray. And, to really look like Rihanna, tuck one side behind your ear.

Rihanna's short, razor style pixie cut has become popular with many celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes. A pixie style also starts with a great cut. Pixie cuts are designed to add more texture to your hair and frame the most flattering features on your face. The pixie cut is a very low maintenance style. Start with a small dab of styling gel and blow-dry your hair until almost dry. Next apply sculpting gel with your fingers and separate sections of hair to give your style a tousle look. Or, if you have naturally straight hair, apply styling gel and allow your hair to dry naturally. When dry, add some sculpting or molding gel to get the tousle look.

If you like Rihanna's trendy long on the top and short on the sides look, part your hair at the crown and use a flat iron to create the long and sleek sections on the top. Finish the style with pomade or wax to create the separated look.

Rihanna's curly style takes a little more work and time. Start with a little styling gloss and comb it through your hair. Section your hair starting at the bottom and twist up with a clip. Use a flat iron; section by section, starting at the root twist the flat iron down to the tip, which will create beautiful curls. Next, add a dab of styling gel and pull apart the curls around your heard and lightly run the comb through your hair. Plan on some extra time. This style will take about 30 minutes to complete.

The Rihanna look is a trendy, short and glamorous style all rolled into one. Rihanna likes to highlight her hair with red or blue accents. Choose your highlights to compliment rather than contrast with your hair color. Rihanna's style is perfect for young women of all races and colors.
