5 Great Hair Products for Ginger Girls with Short Hair

Redheads with long hair can benefit from this list too!

Posted on

Finding the right products for your short hair can be a challenge. Ahead, I’m sharing my favorite ‘redhead friendly’ styling products that work well with short locks.

1. Distilled vinegar:

This is a no-brainer. When you have short hair, you tend to use more products to keep the style set. I use vinegar as a rinse after shampooing to further cleanse my red hair of styling residue. The vinegar leaves my hair really shiny and soft. I buy it by the gallon, and fill an empty shampoo or conditioner bottle with it.

Worried about smelling like vinegar? It will go away as soon as it’s dried.

Optional: You can also use apple cider vinegar as a replacement for normal distilled vinegar if you have it at home!

2. Shampoo:

Paul Mitchell Extra Body Daily Shampoo: This has some great ingredients such as rosemary oil and white ginger, which gives it a zingy scent. It not only gives hair shine but also makes hair look like I just came from the salon. It provides my red strands (and bob) with a shimmery gloss and can be used on a daily basis.

3. Styling Spray:

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Hydromist Blowout Spray: It really creates a sleek ‘I just came from the blow out bar’ look. The mist is so light and fine that hair has a bounciness that’s not often achieved with other blowout sprays. All it takes is just a few spritzes to detangle and smooth out snarls (which many gingers, like myself, have after a shampooing because of the coarseness).

4. Hair Gel:

Max Green Alchemy Scalp Rescue Styling Gel: This all-natural unscented gel is great for creating spiky looks with pixie cuts along with giving some lift at the crown for a bob or lob. It’s made with horse chestnut and witch hazel and leaves hair soft; most hair gels leave strands sticky and stiff. I use this sparingly on my roots to give some lift when I’m styling it into a sleek bob.

5. Mousse:

Giovanni Hair Styling Foam, Natural Mousse Air-Turbo Charged Don’t be fooled by what’s inside the bottle. It is a liquid that gets foamed when pumped and gives hair amazing hold. A golf ball size puff is all you need. I like it for textured looks – I apply it to wet hair before using a blow dryer and curling iron to create a textured, beachy look. It can be used before styling a sleek look too. A huge plus is that it doesn’t leave hair feeling tacky or sticky to the touch.

These are the tools in my arsenal to make my strawberry blonde bob look juicier. I can’t imagine life without them.

Rock it like a Redhead!
