Here are few tips that can help you achieve that short and spiky hairstyle:

1. Hair Texture

In order to achieve the texture for a spiky hairstyle you need to use hair spray or wax. After you take a shower, dry your hair using a towel until you feel that your hair lightly damp. Apply hair gel (strong-hold) right to your scalp. Then, run through the gel towards your hair, create spikes using your fingers especially your thumbs. You can do this through grabbing small sections of your hair and pinch it up. Wait for a few minutes or so to have your hair dry.

If you want to obtain more height for your spikes, what you need to do is to comb it all back right after the gel application has been dried up.

2. Hairstyle

It is important to take note that having the right short hairstyle is an essential element for achieve a trendy look. Celebrities such as Halle Berry, Charlize Theron and Diane Lane are few of the women who are famous for their short and pixie hairstyles. Even though hairstylists come up with different names to this hairstyle still the look is the quite similar. It is a hairstyle that will left the hair with at least an inch or 2 and having the jaw line and face displayed. Short hairstyles are perfect for hair that has medium volume.

3. Shape of the Face

Not all women are fitted for this type of hairstyle. The best shapes that will work perfectly are the inverted pear and oval shape faces. Rectangular shape faces are also good for pixie styles. It is a big no-no for those women with round faces since spiky or pixie hairstyle tends to exaggerate the fullness of the cheeks.
