First, let’s have a quick definition of what having fine or thin hair really means. Basically, the ‘fine’ in the phrase refers to the diameter of each individual hair strand. This means that you can have fine hair which looks thick because the strands are packed more into each square inch of your scalp.

Or, you can have fine hair which looks really thin because the hair strands themselves are already thin in the first place – and they are sparsely populated within each square inch in the scalp.

So depending on whether you have thin, fine hair or thick, fine hair, the best way to have a head start in choosing the short hair styles for fine hair that will suit you best would be with your hair cut. Always consult your stylist and tell them the look that you would like to achieve, starting from maybe the length of hair that you would like to have.

Take Your Pick from these Short Hair Styles for Fine Hair

Now, if like the convenience of having short, fine hair that is pretty much low maintenance, here are the short hair styles that you can choose from:

• Feather Cut for Short, Fine Hair - To achieve this short hair style for fine hair, your locks will be cropped in such a way that the ends will feather on the face lightly. You can best style this cut using a forward motion with a blow dryer, after which you can add some mousse to the crown and finish the do using a styling brush.
• The Pixie Cut - There are two short hairstyles for thin hair that you can use if you have a pixie cut.

It can either be the straight bob that singer Rihanna used to wear, or a slightly layered bob that will add texture to your locks.

When I was 11 years old, I threw a no-hitter in a Little League game. I’d say I was happy when it happened, but I’d be lying. It was actually a pretty ugly performance. The game ended with the score being something like 5-2 and I wouldn’t have even known I had pitched a no-hitter if my coach at the time hadn’t gone back through the box score of the game later that night and called me up after he discovered that I’d actually thrown a no-no thanks to a series of errors, walks, and wild pitches that allowed plenty of base-runners and even a couple runs but no actual hits. Do I look back now and brag about doing it? Um…yeah! But realistically, I threw what had to be one of the ugliest no-hitters in Little League history.

I bring this up because Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Edwin Jackson recently threw a no-hitter of his own. And while I wouldn’t exactly compare it to my Little League performance, it was (almost) as ugly. Jackson walked eight batters during the course of the game, hit another and threw a wild pitch. In the third inning of the game, he actually managed to load the bases—with no outs!—before working himself out of a jam. But regardless of the trouble that he ran into, he went on to claim a 1-0 victory and a no-hitter when it was all said and done.

The female MC’s playground may be crawling with Barbies and kaleidoscopic wigs right now, but we all know who shall forever sit atop the monkey bars looking down on these other little rap girls—Lauryn Noel Hill! The hip-hop icon who has been ghost for far too many years (don’t be afraid to blame Rohan Marley’s treacherous island p***s), has been making a few surprising appearances in public lately. She ripped the stage at the LA Harmony Festival a few weeks ago and will also be a headlining act on this year’s Rock The Bells tour—the fans are more excited than a Jamaican with jerk seasoning!

L-Boogie recently spoke with National Public Radio and explained why she had been missing in action for so long.

“There were a number of different reasons,” she says. “But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it. Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely. And then that sound radiates.”

“I’m trying to open up my range and really sing more,” she says. “With The Fugees initially, and even with Miseducation, it was very hip-hop—always a singing over beats. I don’t think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more.”

“I don’t know if you know this, but I have five children,” she says. “The youngest is two now, so she’s old enough that I can leave her for a period of time and know she’s going to be okay. That’s one reason [Hill is starting to perform again]. And I think it’s just time. I’m starting to get excited again. Believe it or not, I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first. I think people might realize, you know, ‘We love the way she sounds, we love the music, but I think we just love how fearless she is. How boundless she is, when it comes to what she wants to do.’ And I think that can be infectious.” [NPR]

In case any of you kids are not hip to the magnificence that is Lauryn Hill, here is a quick note: Her debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, debuted at number one and has sold over eight million copies in the US alone. It was nominated for ten Grammys and won five including Album of the Year. She was the first female to receive so many Grammy nominations and awards in one night. A single strand of Ms. Hill’s hair is greater than your favorite female rapper and they would probably kill for it.
