Short hair may require less styling time, but that does not mean it can be left entirely to its own devices.
Sun exposure, central heating, humidity, cold weather, frequent washing and everyday product buildup can all affect the way short hair looks and feels. Depending on the season, hair may become dry, flat, coarse, frizzy or harder to control, while the scalp can feel oily, tight or congested.
The good news is that caring for short hair does not need to involve an overflowing bathroom shelf. A few well-chosen products, regular scalp care and a styling routine suited to your texture can help keep your cut looking healthy, soft and manageable throughout the year.
GROOMING TIPS: How to Keep Short Hair Healthy, Soft and Easy to Style Learn how to keep short hair healthy, soft and easy to style with simple tips for scalp care, moisture, heat protection and seasonal maintenance.

There’s a certain kind of glow that doesn’t come from shimmer or highlighter. It’s the kind that appears when skin looks polished, even, and quietly luminous. Makeup blends seamlessly. Light reflects naturally. Texture seems to soften without obvious effort.
Often, that refined finish comes down to one simple concept: removing the buildup that sits on the surface of the skin.
Among the many methods used to achieve smoother skin, dermaplaning has re-entered the beauty conversation as a treatment known for delivering immediate clarity. Unlike high-tech devices or strong chemical peels, the approach itself is surprisingly minimal. A sterile blade is used to gently sweep away dead skin cells and fine facial hair, revealing a smoother surface beneath.
Despite its simplicity, the result can feel transformative.
