We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what hair products work well with short hair, here were their amazing contributions:
1. Mold your hair into anything you want it to be with Kevin Murphy Super Goo. It's made with green tea extract, which won't create flakes of product on your scalp throughout the day.
2. Build tons of volume and thickness for your wavy short cut with Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing spray.
"It's not a hairspray so it won't make your hair crispy, but it will add (spoiler alert) texture and body to short and long hair alike. I used it with my pin-straight hair and it actually had body and texture for the first time in, well, forever." —ambelina

5. Try L'Oreal's Ever Curl leave-in cream to protect your short curls from frizz so they can be defined all fucking day!
