Shemar Moore Short Tapered Hairstyles

Shemar Moore is a 39 year old African American actor who captured the hearts of millions of women when he played the role of Malcolm Winters in CBS television's "The Young and the Restless". He has also been quite successful as a male model and as a supporting actor in feature films. Today, he is back at CBS starring in the hit series "Criminal Minds".

Born April 20, 1970 in Oakland, CA, Moore spent a good portion of his early childhood living with his mother in the Netherlands. His native language is Dutch. He did begin to learn to speak English until he was around six years old.

The hairstyle that Moore wears is one that works incredibly well for a man with his features. The hair cut is called a tapered fade. It is achieved by starting out as close to the scalp as possible to get with the blades of a clipper and fading away from the scalp as the cut moves toward the top of the head. Moore keeps the top of his cut nicely short as well, but there are no real restrictions on the length of the top hair.

Wearing it the way he does, however, gives the hair cut a neater, cleaner appearance than having nearly shaved sides and long hair on top.

A Short Hairstyle for Kim Kardashian?

Create a Short Hairstyle with Waves“Short Hairstyle Looks Great on Kim Kardashian”

Kim Kardashian, a maid of honor in sister Khloe Kardashian’s wedding this weekend, wore this short hairstyle recently that I loved. Kim Kardashian has very long hair, so her hair was pinned up to get this faux short hairstyle look. The good news is you can get the same hairstyle whether you have a long or short hairstyle naturally, heres how;

• Step 1: Start with clean, damp hair and run a curl enhancing product like Joico Curl Definer Crème Gel through strands. Comb through with a wide tooth comb. 

• Step 2: Use a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer when drying your hair to bring out maximum body and wave. Only dry your hair until it is about 85% dry.

• Step 3: After your hair has completely dried, spray hair with a setting spray and then roll hair onto hot rollers. Try Redken Hot Sets Thermal Setting Mist that helps create a soft hold while protecting hair from heat.

• Step 4: Remove your hair from the rollers after they have cooled (about 20 minutes or so).

• Step 5: If you are trying to achieve this short hairstyle when you have long hair, take the bottom layers of hair out from the rollers first and pin those up toward your nape to create the illusion of shorter hair. Then take out the rest of your hair from the rollers and style around the pinned hair. If you already have a short hairstyle, simply remove your hair from the rollers and finger style into place. Create a deep side part if you want to re-create Kim Kardashian’s same short hairstyle look.
