Short fluffy hair is any ear to neck-length cut that looks effortless, flowy, and voluminous. It creates styles that can enhance your best facial features, too!

Salon owner and hair artist Rose Newton of Roseville, CA shares her go-to rules when considering a fluffy haircut.

She states, “The style must match your face shape and hair texture. Consult with your stylist on which length will complement you. Know which volume placement will suit you best—either at your crown or near your cheeks.”

For this look, the texture is key. You can opt for added volume depending on what your natural hair texture needs. Your lifestyle is another thing to consider, too. This will determine the amount of time you plan to spend doing your locks every day.

For some women, heat styling is required to create balance in the chop. If you can’t invest time to do it with your tresses, it could lead to a frizzy or flat outcome.

Less is more when styling fluffy haircuts but still demands a little effort. “Use a styling brush, which is a small to medium ceramic round brush, to create fluffiness. Apply a root-boosting spritz and finish it off with a bit of texture spray,” Newton suggests.

This cut can create a cool, effortless finish that boosts the natural beauty of your hair. Just think of Meg Ryan in the ’90s!
