Have you ever wanted to change your hairstyle, but thought it was impossible? Well, there is an alternative. You can choose to shorten your hair, while not cutting it at all!

A haircut entails the actual cutting of hair; whereas, trim or style does not.
Unique Ways To Shorten Your Hair Without Cutting It
Hair chops aren’t always easy to come by. Many of us would love to get a great haircut, but often don’t have the money to afford it (unless you’ve got a really generous hairdresser). There are a variety of ways you can shorten your hair without actually having to cut it. Want proof? Check out these 5 examples!
1. Curly hair
A lot of girls who want curls use curlers to get the look. Curly hair looks shorter than straight hair, and it can help you look younger than you are. Heat rollers can leave your hair looking frizzy and dried out, so it’s best to use regular curlers instead.
Wash your hair before using curlers. Hair is elastic and therefore easier to manipulate when it is wet. To get the best curls, use your curlers according to the size you want the curls to be: large for beachy waves, and small for tight ringlets. It’s also important that the curlers aren’t placed too close together—one inch is ideal!
If you sleep in curlers, I know it will be uncomfortable, but I also know that it will be worth it. If your hair is still damp when you wake up, don’t brush it, because brushing will flatten the curls.
Here’s a tip: you can make your curls look beautiful, and make them shorter too!
2. Demi Lovato Hairstyle

Here’s a good way to get rid of flyaways rub a little shine serum on your hands and smooth the strands down. Gather up the top half of your hair in your hands, wrap it around itself, and secure it with a clip to keep it out of the way.

Now here’s the fun part! Unclip the top of your hair from your head, and let it fall down. Have the bottom half of your hair pinned against your head underneath the top section of your hair. Roll some of the ends of the top half under the bottom sections that are pinned, so that both ends look neat. Now spritz hairspray all over yourself.
3. Bobby Pin Flips
Begin by parting your hair in the middle and placing it on top of your head in a headband shape. Next, split your hair into four to five sections.
First, take the first section of hair, and flip it over your face so that it drapes down your back. Securing each section with bobby pins, repeat the process with the remaining sections.
In order to achieve the wide-spanned look, grab a headband and pull your hair back. Then, cover up the headband with curls you’ve created or left out. It’s okay to add a few bobby pins to hold everything in place.
