Short hair styling isn't short on options for creating different looks. Taylor Leven @bytaylorleven, a barber, short hair specialist and owner of Head Space Barbershop in Downers Grove, IL, is committed to merging the worlds of barbering and hairdressing and breaking down stereotypes.
In her work, Levin incorporates graphic designs, precise texture placement, and she is always coaxing out a hair's natural wave to make it come alive.
Here she shows the deft touch required for creating curl that looks controlled but not crunchy and springy but not sprayed. The products she uses in these styling how-tos are from designline and include the Mineral Salt Texture Paste, a formula that she says has "a gentle grit for control yet it’s still so moisturizing! You can’t even tell there’s product in the hair."
Mineral Salt Texture Paste adds volume, definition, and texture to any style. It replenishes and seals in moisture, while helping to protect hair from environmental stressors with a UV absorber and proteins. This paste offers a flexible, medium hold that is easy to rework and leaves hair frizz free with a semi matte finish. Ingredients include Aloe Vera, Beeswax, Rice Protein and Castor Oil.
