Short hair with Hanfu—how to make it work?
Most Hanfu hairstyles seem to be designed for long hair, which makes sense, but what if you have short hair? I don’t want to just leave it as is and feel like something’s missing. Are there any good styling tricks or hair accessories that work well for short hair and still match the Hanfu aesthetic? Would love to hear what other short-haired Hanfu lovers do!

If you have short hair and want to wear Hanfu, it’s totally doable! A lot of Hanfu styles are traditionally made for longer hair, but with a few tips, you can still rock the look:
Hairpins: Even though your hair is shorter, you can still use delicate hairpins to add that traditional touch. Go for simpler designs or small, intricate pins that enhance the overall aesthetic without overpowering your style.
Headbands or Scarves: A simple headband or scarf can work wonders for short hair. They can create the illusion of longer hair or simply tie the look together. Plus, it’s a great way to add an extra layer of style without too much effort.
Play with textures: Don’t be afraid to experiment with your short hair! Adding some soft curls or waves can give you a more traditional look without needing long hair. If you don’t want to use hair accessories, just embracing the natural texture of your hair can work too.
Half-up styles: Try doing a half-up, half-down style with a twist or braid. It’s a simple way to keep your hair in place while adding a traditional vibe, and it works even with shorter lengths.
Short hair doesn’t need to stop you from rocking Hanfu—use a little creativity with your accessories and styling, and you’ll look amazing!

Embrace it! Pin back one side with a floral clip or add a headband. Short curls + aoqun = modern Tang dynasty rebel.

No hairpins? Try a delicate chain hair accessory or half-up braid. Effortless and chic.
