Hair styling

So, after several years, I got bored with the plain old long hair and got a hair cut. It looks real pretty with layers in it now and ismuch shorter. Now my question is how do I style it. I have tried blow drying and curling iron but it still doesnt look nice and pretty like it does on others. I have normal but fine hair.

So my question is how do I make is silky and smooth and how do I style it so it wont look so fly-away?

so do you have them stright/curly/wavy !!! i love short curls… too bad i have straight hair.. cant do one decent thing with em :grumpy:

Ira, I just got what sounds like a very similar haircut....I went from long hair to a shortish layered look.. I know what you mean about styling..

I am using a smoothing serum...and a Straightner (even though I have reallllllly straight hair to begin with) It just gives a really excellent silky finish after having blow dryed my hair... That with serum does the trick for me...

Hope that helps.
