Great Hair Tips for Nurses Those 12 hour shifts are great in a lot of ways. You get 4 days off during the week. The down side is, well, 12 hours is a long time to do the hard work required in nursing, and there is not a lot of time between shifts if you are headed back in the following day. You really have to make the most of that off time, and that does not allow for a lot of time to work on your hair. You do however have some options to make the most of quick and easy styles that will hold up to those long 12 hour shifts. Short Hair Short hair is often more difficult to style than longer hair simply because it has to be styled and cannot be pulled into a pony tail. For very short hair, most likely a blow dry with a little styling cream will do the trick. If you opt for full or curly hair in short hair, use a stretchy hair band, place it around your neck and then slide up slowly, lifting hair from underneath. Once lifted, sprits with water or a little hair spray if you prefer. Let it sit that way for a few minutes, and remove the hair band. You will see that the hair is lifted and appears full. Practice placement of the band several times and you will get the look you want. You can also slip that small stretchy hair band in your pocket and revitalize hair during your shift, it only takes moments. A hair band also looks great in short hair, so you can change the style during the day in seconds. Clasp clips are one of the hottest items in hair accessories. For longer hair there are big ones, however there are very small ones as well. These work perfect in short hair. You can place one on top leaving bangs or securing bangs. It gives hair elevation and style. Twisting hair slightly around ears and securing it with a clip gives a stylish look to short hair, plus lifting hair above ears slims the face while keeping hair out of your face.
