What is a common method to style short hair?

Using pomade or gel for texture and hold is a highly effective method for styling short hair. These products are specifically designed to add definition and maintain control over short locks, allowing for versatile styling options. The viscosity of pomade and gel enables the stylist to sculpt hair into various shapes and textures, providing a polished finish or a more casual, tousled look depending on the desired outcome.

In contrast, blow-drying alone may not provide enough structure or definition for short styles, especially if there's a need for hold throughout the day. While mousse and hair spray can enhance volume and provide some hold, they don’t offer the same level of texture control as pomade and gel do. Cutting hair shorter can help redefine a look but is not a styling method; it's primarily a technique for managing length and shape.
