My most popular post is still my Short Hairstyle Tutorial. I thought it was time to do an updated post on my hairstyle. Not a lot has changed from the original, but a few things have. If you are looking for a look for an Easy Short Hairstyle with Fall colors and a little sass, you’re in the right place. I am not kidding when I say it takes me less than ten minutes to style my hair. That includes blow drying it.
Since it is Fall, I wanted to add a little dark into my hair. Just a little for me, goes a long way. I asked my hair stylist to give me the exact colors she uses, so I could share them with you.
- For the blonde: Lumishine
- For the dark: 7nv
My hair is foiled two blonde to one brown. I then sit under the dryer for about 30 minutes. I am not a hairstylist, so this is foreign to me. However, your stylist will know what you are talking about. 🙂
I still style my hair the same way I did in this post, except I no longer tease my hair. I have a step by step tutorial you can follow. The only difference in my hair now, is I am growing the back out just a little. I am trying to get rid of the weight-line. Truthfully, I am just tired of it. I wanted to try something new. Also, my sides are a little longer.
Here is another picture of the back.
Here I am trying to show you the top of my hair. I give all the credit to Big Sexy Powder Play. I love it!
How to Style my Hair:
- After I shower, I blow dry my hair. I do Not use a round brush. This really surprises people.
- Then I use my mini flat iron to straighten my hair. I have a little wavy to my hair. Just a tad. This tool has really made my life easier. It’s perfect for short hair!
- I then use Big Sexy Powder Play. This is a Volumizing & Texturizing Powder. This stuff is amazing! I add it to my roots and to the back of my hair to give it volume. It actually lifts my hair. This stuff is amazing! I no longer need to tease it, like I did in the first tutorial.
- Use Big Sexy Spray and Play Hairspray to hold. It’s the only hairspray I will use. The hold is amazing.
- Finish with Bed Head Headrush for a gorgeous shine. This stuff also helps keep your hair static free. This is a huge help in the fall and winter when I wear sweatshirts and sweaters. And did I mention the smell? It’s amazing!
Products I use:
I hope this updated short hair tutorial with my fall hair color has been helpful. Follow me on Instagram for all my #ootd fashion post.

Hi Amy – I have a similar cut and color as you and I am also trying to grow it out…seems like since I first got it cut. ha. Just wondering if you shampoo and style your hair every day or if this blow out lasts you several days. I also wanted to know how you sleep with your hair….do you pull it away from your face at all? I like to put the top and sides in a scrunchy to get them off my face while I sleep and this also gives me some body. I have fine hair, but it is very wavy/curly so I sometimes let it air dry. Thanks for your reply in advance.
God Bless.
I typically shampoo my hair daily in order to fix like I want. Sometimes I can wear it from the day before, but not often.:) I just sleep with my hair down. If I shower at night, I just let it air dry and go to bed. I hope that helps. 🙂
When you apply the powder play, do you rub into your scalp?
Hi Candi Not really. But you can if you want to. 🙂
Hi Candi, I press it in just a little. It starts to tingle a little. 🙂 I hope that helped.
Yay! I’ve been waiting for your hair update, so THANK YOU!!
And perfect timing as mine is due for cut/color right now.
And too funny, just when I thought I had it cut almost exactly like yours, I was also thinking of letting the back get a little longer. lolol
I have all of the same products except the Headrush so I might have to get some of that and try it out.
For the Powder Play, just an FYI that this type of product was on our local news recently saying women reported hair breakage and also color fading caused by overuse of it. Just something to keep in mind if you use it daily.
Question on the Spray & Play hairspray. It definitely hold the style, but does your hair feel like a helmet when you use it? I’ve seen other fashion bloggers do hair videos and when they use it they are still moving their hair around to put in place, but when I spray mine there is no changing it afterwards! lol
Anyway, love the Fall color and style!!
Oh, if you know what brand of hair color your stylist uses that would be helpful (unless I just missed it in your post).
Thanks again, and Happy Fall Ya’ll!! 🙂
Thank you for posting all angles of your hair. I love your cut. is your hair very thick? I can’t get my to tease up and stay like yours. I will try the big sexy spray you use. Thank you.
Hi Amy, I went out and got the powder play but could not get use to the way it made my hair feel, gritty. I tried less powder but then it wouldn’t hold. I have very fine hair and being I am going to be 70 it seems my hair is thinning some.
thank you for showing us how you do your hair.
God Bless you and Merry Christmas
Oh darn. I am sorry it did not work for you. You could try teasing the hair a little with the powder or without the powder. 🙂
There’s a new powder play that I found at Ulta that is especially for fine, thin hair (like mine). I love it! It sprays rather than having to shake the powder at the roots. I think it’s called powder play light. I love both products as they both work great for me, but I prefer the light because it’s easier for me to spray the powder.
My full name did not stay when I submitted.
I just love your hair I have saved it like a million times on my Pinterest page
Thank you Stephanie!!! I am so glad it’s saved and you will never lose it. lol
Love your fall colors & style… I am getting it done right now & buying the products
Yay! I hope you love it!! xoxo
I cannot get the height on the upper top. I use same products. Maybe you can show or tell me exactly how you do it. Thank you.
Hi Cindy I have a video showing exactly how I use it. Did you have a chance to watch it? Thanks so much.
I’m so happy I found your new post. I had saved your haircut from a long time ago. Finally I had the nerve to cut my hair very similar to yours just yesterday and love it! Thank you for your directions on styling your hair especially without the teasing.
Oh I’m so glad it helped! I bet your hair looks amazing! 🙂
