Out There with Ruth: How to Create the Illusion of Short Hair

This week Ruth Roche shares a trick on how to take long hair to short without cutting it. It’s a great technique to use to show clients what they would look like with shorter hair, and it’s also a secret used on photo shoots when a model won’t cut their hair.

[@furrypine]

Can you do this without a fringe?

[@liza3337]

Simple but awesome. Thanks!

[@kool7596]

I dont have long hair but Can I do it with shoulder length hair?

[@connorh._.1239]

thats my exact question

[@cxrotoninalt]

@@connorh._.1239 it should still work, but might not look as good because the hair wont reach all the way to the eyebrows

[@Noah_The_Raccoon]

I made it work but my hair is slightly longer then shoulder length

[@mezzovii]

Hmm I'm trying to do a cosplay and I don't have much time. I have super super super super long hair and the character I'm trying to do has big bangs in the front from short on the sides and back. What do I do

[@LifeontheBush]

Do what they did for the first part, twirl upward and pin in place.

[@LifeontheBush]

Do this for both sides of the head and you should get short sides and fluffy on top.

[@sandrah1232]

@@LifeontheBush great idea

[@elarkive2717]

Same gonna do shinji but i have shoulder length hair!

[@Baymax-c7i]

I love you girl, you litterly saved my life, a million thanks to you

[@AngelHall-ix4ru]

[@microwavebrain1035]

Thank you

[@user-rq2mz3bz1h]

I playing a man in a musical and this is gonna be so helpful!

[@woermonastring]

would this work with thick curly 3a hair?

[@marvelstuffscool]

Thanks! I've always wanted to know what shorter hair looks like on me but I've grown my hair out my whole life and I don't want to cut it. Do you think this would work for my hair (it's down to my hips)?

[@Circa1628]

Um...the sides and front look good, but what about the back. How is the back disguised?

[@Accidental_Lemon]

maybe a hat

[@SIMONETTA69]

Pero cómo se ve la parte de atrás?

[@CerahPadilla]

Does this work with any hair type?

[@WolfGamerXx012]

I needed this for a little school play only my class tho

[@samham3699]

[@foxicorn9964]
