Who says having short hair is boring? Michelle Dee is here to prove otherwise. For years, the beauty queen has been sporting a chic, shoulder-grazing lob haircut, but right before flying off to El Salvador for the Miss Universe 2023 pageant, she dared to go even shorter!
"I really believe it highlights my personality," she told ABS-CBN, adding that "being in a pageant stage with short hair symbolizes breaking the barrier and it symbolizes what I truly stand for also which is to empower everyone that you don't have to fit in just to become Miss Universe."
If you're planning to finally go for that major chop, or you're simply running out of ideas on how to style your short 'do, check out these hairstyle ideas from Michelle:
LOOK: 7 Beauty Queen-Approved Ways to Style Short Hair, As Seen on Michelle Dee
1. Deep side part
Switching up the parting of your hair is an easy way to make a huge difference on your look. Michelle looked positively glowing when she opted for a deep side part!
2. Middle-parted blowout
Don't be intimidated by this sophisticated 'do. A hairdryer and a round brush are all you need to give your bob a volume boost.
A good hair gel is key to copping this wet hair look. Comb over the prodcut loosely and allow some strands to fall naturally for that effortless cool.
4. Half-pony with micro braids
Who said you needed long locks to have fun? Frame your face with micro braids and complete your Y2K 'fits.
5. Textured bob
We're obsessed with this undone look! Adding layers to your bob will amp your locks' body and volume, and make the toussled look easily achievable.
6. Wavy bob
A curling iron with a 1.5-inch barrel is perfect for creating loose, messy waves. Curl hair in one direction for a bold, coiffed finish.
7. Sleek and center
Part your hair in the middle and apply some hair gel for a sleek and modern look. Don't forget to brush back the geled ends to look extra chic!
